One last Halloween set before we say goodbye to spooky season! 👻🎃💅🏽 I couldn’t let October end without giving these long natural nails one FINAL Halloween moment! 🥹✨ A little sparkle, a little spooky, and a whole lot of patience! 🤣✨ & just like that… Halloween nails are officially DONE

Little Miss Desperate to Break Off thought she was getting away with something 🤣 We’re finishing this tiny repair, and I’m sharing one of the techniques I use to help my nail repairs last as long as they do! 👀🤫 Because growing long natural nails is one thing… knowing how to MAINTAIN them is a

Little Miss Desperate to Break Off thought she was about to ruin all our hard work. ABSOLUTELY NOT! 😭🤣💅🏽 Not every tear means cutting your nail down! Sometimes a tiny fiberglass repair is all you need. Part 2? We’re bringing out the Nail Tek Repair System! 👀 ✨ Want healthier, stronger natu

Growing natural nails is one thing. MAINTAINING that growth? That’s where technique comes in! One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned throughout my natural nail journey is that not every nail needs to be filed the same way. Some curl inward. Some flare outward. Some apparently didn’t get the

Microneedling is only half the job… what you do after matters too. 👀 After the mask comes off, I keep things simple and focus on products that help support and protect my skin while it recovers. This time I went with my Alastin favorites + the Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer because my skin didn

Quite a few of you asked what I actually do for my skin… so let’s start with microneedling 😬 This is one of those treatments where technique matters just as much as the products you use. Light pressure, smooth movement, adjust your depth where needed, and let the pen do its job. I try to micr

Sometimes the smallest moments find you exactly when you need them. 🥹🤍 This beautiful little dragonfly spent 80 seconds hanging out on my arm while I talked to him. 😂 I’ve always had a special love for nature and the little creatures we share this world with. I like to think moments like t

Remember that Nail Tek Resin fiasco? 😭😂 Well, I promised y’all I’d show you what resin SHOULD look like after I exchanged that bottle, and here we are! We’re breaking down what resin SHOULDN’T look like, what it CAN look like after some use, and what it SHOULD look like fresh out of the packa

Day 4 of 5 repairs 💅🏽 This repair started on June 26th… 65 days ago. 🥹 And THIS is the part people don’t always see when I say I’d rather repair than cut. The goal isn’t to keep a repair forever. The goal is to protect the damaged area, maintain the length, and give my natural nail time to

Day 3 of 5 repairs 💅🏽 This one started on June 13th… 77 days ago. 😮‍💨 And THIS is why I keep saying a repair isn’t just about saving the length for today. 👀 It’s about protecting that damaged area long enough for it to keep traveling down the nail until we can finally file it OFF. Patience

Day 2 of 5 repairs 💅🏽 This repair started on July 5th and today makes 54 days. 😮‍💨 No magic. No overnight fix. Just patience, protection, maintenance… and letting the nail grow OUT instead of cutting everything off. 👀 This is exactly why I repair when I can. 54 days later and we’re stil

22 days later. 🥹 This is EXACTLY why I repair instead of immediately cutting everything down. Not because I expect the repair to last forever… but because every day it holds gives my natural nail more time to grow underneath it. From full detachment to THIS in 22 days?! 😭 Day 1 of 5 Day

So apparently Sally Hansen Maximum Growth says daily or every other day on the box… I don’t remember which 🤔 but the bottle definitely says use alone or as a base coat. 👀 Sounds contradictory until you think about what regular polish goes through every day. Washing your hands, showering, cleanin

The type of content you get in The Nail Lab 😂 No filter. No cuts. But a ramble? A ramble indeed. 🤪 & if you caught the moment I realized I forgot something… yeah. 😭 Meet me in The Nail Lab to see what happened 👀👩🏽‍🔬 #NaturalNails #HealthyNails #NailCare #NailCareTips #Bare

The repair is only part of the job. 👏🏽 Once I’m finished rebuilding and reinforcing the damaged areas, I still want to protect the repair and the natural nail underneath it. For me, that means going in with Sally Hansen Maximum Growth as a temporary protective layer while my nails recover bef

Same fiberglass. Different job. 👀 These tears were sitting too far into the free edge for me to love a small patch, but they also didn’t need a full fiberglass overlay. So we met in the middle: fiberglass tips. 💅🏽 That’s the thing about nail repairs… there is no one-size-fits-all answer. E

A full break needs a little different approach. 👀 Before I can even think about reinforcing this nail again, the old repair has to come OFF and both pieces need to be completely clean. Same rule as always: patience over force. Remove what’s ready, rewrap what isn’t, clean everything thoroughl

Oh to solely blame the gel, acrylic, or enhancement is easy 😂… but sometimes the product isn’t what damaged your nails. The removal did. 👀 Ripping, peeling, over-filing, or forcing product off can undo weeks of healthy growth in minutes. My rule? Remove what’s ready and rewrap what isn’t.

Sometimes the best nail lessons come from the times you DON’T follow your normal routine. 😭 I usually keep polish over my repairs to help protect them, but after getting sick, these babies were left exposed for a little over two weeks. And honestly? They held on as best they could. 😂 One n
