Nails I’ve done on myself lately!!

... Read moreDoing your own nails can be a rewarding and creative hobby that not only saves money but also allows you to express your personal style. For beginners, starting with simple nail art techniques such as applying solid base colors, creating dots or stripes using nail art tools, and experimenting with accent nails can help build confidence and skills over time. Popular nail trends include using dual tone or gradient colors, incorporating minimalistic designs like small hearts or stars, and adding texture with matte or glitter finishes. Using quality nail polishes, base coats, and top coats helps prevent chipping and extends the life of your manicure. It’s important to maintain nail health by keeping nails clean, properly trimmed, and moisturized. Tools like cuticle oils and gentle nail files support healthy nail growth. Watching tutorials and engaging with online nail art communities can provide both inspiration and constructive feedback, enabling continuous improvement. Embracing constructive criticism helps refine your techniques and inspires new ideas. Remember, every nail artist starts somewhere, and practice is key to mastering beautiful DIY nails at home. Nail art can be a fun, stress-relieving hobby that enhances your beauty routine and showcases your creativity.

I find it difficult to finish projects so I have a million half done ones and I can’t wait to add a million more ! Art is about inspiration and finding something new everyday and so I’m not mad at myself about it and you shouldn’t be disappointed in yourself either !! #crochetinspiration #croche

The easiest Press On Nails manicure!
This was the fastest manicure I've ever given myself. All I used was the press on nails and glue, nothing else. No top coat or nothing. These Nails are strong and don't bend, I am on my 6th day of wearing these, and I can't wait to see how long they last. #nails #nailinspo #pres

My nails hot take… 👀
We’ve all seen the “why are my nails so dirty” posts lately. I’ve been getting my nails done for over a decade. I’ve gone to shops and have done them myself using everything from acrylic to gel x. I’ve always wondered why they get so dirty underneath too, but also assumed I didn’t go to the rig
