Hello, gorgeous nail-keepers!

Use this thread to share any products, routines, or tips for keeping your nails strong and healthy! Try to keep it as beginner-friendly as possible. Linking to products is encouraged! If you follow a guide, have a graphic, or reference a tutorial video, please share a link to that as well!

Please note, some product names or links may get your comment eaten by Automod (They're very greedy) we will be patrolling the comments with a lasso and our best cowmod boots looking to pull all your comments from the void! Please avoid commenting multiple times if you don't see your comment. We will get to it eventually!!

Feel free to ask questions, request advice, and make friends with anyone who has a similar routine as you!

This will be an ongoing, forever open thread that anybody can add to at any time. This post will be linked in a megathread that will soon get pinned to the front page of this sub.

Mod Post Let's talk about discrimination

1.9k Upvotes

Lately we have seen an influx of discrimination, homophobia and abuse of the report button on nail art posted by men.

This sub is a safe space for everyone to share their creations, nails and favorite products, as well as their questions, as long as they are related to nails.

Be warned that ANY kind of discrimination on the comments will be met with removal of the comment and the ban of the user. We will not give second chances to discrimination.

Any false reports of posts (i.e.: As ‘sexual exploitation of a minor’, ‘ nonconsensual, intimate media’, etc) will be reported to the Reddit Admins for abuse of the report button.

If a man with beautiful nails is something that doesn't sit right with you, just scroll by.

Our mod team works every day to create a safe and entertaining space for people who share an interest for nails. Please respect our work and everyone in here.

Thank you in advance!

Discussion/Question i paid $159 for this.. was it worth it?

no shade to the nail tech, but i went in for a gel polish change pedicure that i was told otp by the receptionist would cost ~$50-55, the fill is usually around $45 with no designs, but given she filed the shape and whatnot i was expecting it to be around $65 for the acrylics.

overall, was told the total was $159 and was absolutely shocked!! not only have never i spent 4.5 hours getting my nails done EVER- i have also never spent that much on an acrylic fill with design + pedi combo.

also, this was a nail franchise so no shade to a direct person and i do love the look!!

I had very short nails after a series of unfortunate events, and had extensions just before Christmas. Since then we've grown out my natural nails, and this latest manicure is just perfection imo.

I started getting my nails done recently after struggling with severe hair loss and needing some pamper time & feeling feminine again. I think these are the prettiest nails I have ever had! I usually prefer a simple set and shortish nails. These are the longest I have ever kept my nails too!

r/Nails: A place to show off your beautiful nails

Members Active

3.9m

Sidebar

Welcome to /r/nails! For anything and everything to do with nails and nail care!

Nail Care Series (In Progress):

Intro To Basic Nail Tools

Rule 1: Be civil and respectful.

There is a zero-tolerance policy on anything that can be perceived as bullying, harassment, ridiculing, trolling, or any actions that target an individual in a negative way. This is a place of appreciation for others artwork, so please keep that in mind at all times.

Rule 2: No NSFW content.

Keep images, comments and links work/age appropriate. Anything explicit, graphic, or sexual will be removed. Any photos that depict dangerous, risky or illicit activity is also against the rules (for example: drug use, self harm, using a cellphone while driving, etc).

Rule 3: Flair your posts!

Flairs serve as a way to let users know what your post is about. We do not remove posts that aren’t flared, but the flairs are what our search function relies upon, so we ask that you please assign them to your posts.

Rule 4: Credit the work of others.

If the picture or content you are posting is NOT your own, you are required to credit the artist or acknowledge that it’s not yours, either within the post’s title or in a comment. You will receive a warning before being banned, if we suspect you are stealing others art. PLEASE REPORT MISCONDUCT.

Rule 5: Stay on topic.

All posts must be related to nails (the kind that grow on your hands and feet)! Comments should contribute to the conversation and not derail the discussion.

Rule 6: No advertising.

Self-promotional content (this includes but is not limited to Youtube “trend” & “tutorial” videos, surveys, well as blog posts) are not permitted to be posted without mod approval. If you do not follow Reddit's rules for self promotion and spam, your post will be removed and you will likely be banned. Your account history will be taken into consideration when concluding if you are a spammer or not. Moderators will use their own discretion to decide. Keep the following quote in mind: ”It’s ok to be a Reddit account with a website, but it’s not ok to be a website with a Reddit account”

Rule 7: No trolling and/or spamming.

Report anything that you feel violates the integrity of the subreddit.

Rule 8: No distributing personal information.

This includes name, address, phone number, gender, age, location or links to websites that provide that information like Facebook. Applies to sharing the private information of people aside from yourself as well. Small watermarks are OKAY, however we ask that you do NOT include them in your post titles. In an effort to limit self-promotional content, we are asking users to avoid sharing Instagram/social media handles as post titles. Instead, our users now have the option to customize their User Flair. On r/Nails, you can select and edit your own flair. To do so, log in using the desktop version of Reddit.com, look for where it says “Edit Flair” in the sidebar to the right. This button should be located just under our subscriber count. Click on it for a list of images for you to select from. In order to create your own flair, choose “[CUSTOM]”, and then enter something into the text box (Example — “IG: @nails”). Click 'Save' to finish.

Rule 9: No hate speech or suggestive comment making.

This includes but is not limited to racism, sexism and/or homophobia. And because this apparently still isn't clear enough, insulting and personally attacking other users or making unwanted sexual comments is grounds for an immediate ban.
