This is what I got when my sis did my nails :(

2025/2/20 Edited to

Nail art has become a popular form of self-expression and creativity. It's not just about the final look but also about the bonding experience with friends and family. Whether you opt for intricate designs or simple polished nails, the journey of getting your nails done can be amusing and surprising. When getting your nails done, always communicate clearly with the artist about what you want, so you can avoid unexpected outcomes. Techniques such as gel nail polish, nail wraps, and artistic nail decals can transform even the simplest designs into stunning pieces of art. Sharing these experiences on platforms like Lemon8 allows people to connect over their unique stories and tips for nail care. Remember, the best nails reflect your style, so have fun with it!

The last time I got my nails ”professionally” done

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
