Unpolished Natural Nails Could I become a hand model?

Hi guys, So I've always had compliments on my hands and nails, but was just wondering whether you would say they're on a level that could be modelled? My nails are fully natural and unpolished, although I do have a mole on each hand.

Many thanks! :)

Wanted to let my nails breathe a little and had a no polish manicure the other day.

Really loving how long my nail beds look after a cuticle cleanup!

I’m a beginner nail tech and still in school I’m going to be a home based nail tech and will be getting my clients from social media. How do I make my posts get more views? Here’s some photos of my work and profile!

I got these done and I already let nail tech know I wanted them filed more evenly / wanted black base not showing on some my fingers bc she hadn’t covered it all the way with the powder. Now I’m noticing dents in my nail. I paid 73 dollars for these (tip included) is it worth going back ?

Discussion/Question Would you go back in to have these fixed?

I got this liquid gel fill yesterday and they have the potential to be so cute but they are so poorly executed. You can see scratches through the polish, the shape on the thumbs is crazy and uneven, and it already looks like I’ve got a few days of grow out because the tech didn’t get the gel close to the nail bed.

I feel really bad going back in but I have a conference next week, and the thought of going with these nails is so sad.

Would you go back in or live with it if your nails looked like this?

Discussion/Question Nail Biters—What Treatments Help with Growth and Repair?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! My nails have been looking rough lately because I have a bad habit of biting them. I’m really trying to stop, but I also want to help my nails grow back healthier and stronger. Has anyone dealt with this and found a good nail treatment that actually works? Whether it's oils, serums, supplements, or anything else—I’d love to hear what helped you!

Thanks 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!!

This was my first time doing any kind of design on my nails. It was also my first time working with gel whatsoever, and I've never been one to paint my nails frequently (maybe 30 times throughout the duration of my whole life).

So, thoughts on them? Any tips?

Im left handed, and I think that's pretty obvious when you compare each. I'm honestly not happy with them, but I also tend to be a perfectionist with anything vaguely artistic.

I used gel nail polish on just my natural nails, if it's relevant. And side note, taking good pictures of nails is ten times harder than I expected

Nail Care Glamnetic press-ons

Post image
5 Upvotes

Not asking medical advice. I developed a gel nail polish allergy from Beetles over a year ago. I braved glamnetic pressons with nail glue yesterday and my hands are completely fine today/no blisters like before. Out of ptsd I removed them last night before bed because my left eye started to hurt and my lid became slightly puffy. I woke up today and no pain or blisters on my fingers and my left eye is still slightly swollen. Has anyone ever experienced this? Nail glue plus swollen eye? Now I’m thinking I should avoid nail glue now too.

Nail Care First world problem nail advice

Hi everyone,

I've been getting nail enhancements regularly for years and it seems im getting to a point where upkeep is unsustainable since my nails grow so quickly. I got an acrylic infill exactly two weeks ago and this is what they look like now :( its really hard to keep them looking neat and also expensive to get a fill every two weeks.

Does anyone have any easy and quick products/methods I could do myself at home to keep them neat in between salon visits? Ideally something that keeps them hard like acrylic or biab.

Any suggestions are appreciated!!
