Just got my nails done

2024/7/29 Edited to

... Read moreSeriously, getting my nails done is one of my favorite little treats, and my latest set has me absolutely smitten! I’ve been eyeing those gorgeous, yet simple, hand-painted nail art designs lately, and I finally took the plunge. My nail artist created this stunning look featuring clear bases, which I adore because it really makes the colors pop without being too over-the-top. Each nail has a vibrant, colorful French tip – we went with a mix of purple, pink, green, blue, and yellow. It’s such a cheerful palette, perfect for brightening up any day! What truly elevates these pretty nails are the delicate white flower designs. They’re so tiny and intricate, yet they look incredibly simple and elegant. It just goes to show that you don't need super complex patterns to make a statement. I think this specific style falls perfectly into that 'simple hand-painted nail art designs' category that so many of us are searching for – something chic, unique, but not overly complicated. If you're like me and constantly looking for inspiration for your next manicure, I highly recommend asking for something similar. The clear base makes it feel very fresh and modern, while the colorful French tips add a playful touch. And those little white flowers? They're just the sweetest detail! You could even experiment with different color combinations for the tips or swap out the white flowers for another tiny motif like dots or stars if you're feeling adventurous. For those who love a good DIY challenge, achieving a similar 'pretty nails done' look at home is totally doable with a bit of practice. You'll need a good quality clear base coat, a few of your favorite colorful polishes for the tips, and a fine-tipped nail art brush or a dotting tool for those delicate flower designs. Start with a thin coat of clear polish, then carefully paint your French tips. Don't worry if they're not perfect on the first try; practice makes perfect! For the flowers, just dab tiny dots and use the fine brush to gently pull the polish outwards to form petals. Finish with a glossy topcoat to seal in your beautiful work and help it last longer. I’ve found that showing my nail tech a picture is always the best way to get exactly what I want. Lemon8, Pinterest, and Instagram are treasure troves of 'simple hand painted nail art designs' ideas. Just search for 'colorful French tip nails,' 'flower nail art,' or 'minimalist nail designs' to get a ton of inspiration. It's amazing how a fresh set of pretty nails can lift your spirits and make you feel put-together. This design is definitely going on my list of all-time favorites, and I hope it inspires you to try something new and colorful on your fingertips too!

They wanted $80 dollars for this atrocity. I asked the manager to redo them, and I’ve never been back to a nail salon since then! This is when I decided to learn to do my nails myself, and after lots of practice I even learned how to do the pink and white ombre! I do my own gelx every 2-3 weeks and

So I got my nails done… 🥴😭
Y’all… I told y’all I’m not a nail girly. So instead of French tips I decided to go with an ombré dip nails. The way… I’m just like 🧍🏾‍♀️. I don’t hate it but I’m also not in love with it. The ombré gradient is so harsh and not subtle. I also asked for not a pink base I got 081 on my toes and so I

Got the Nails Done
I went back to the original spot and I feel so much better about how my nails came out. I was scared to go back because it is close to where my ex lives. We didn't end on bad terms, but I just don't want to run into him. Anyway, I love my nails!! #nails #nailinspo #selfcare #welln
