what do you think?

Took me 5 hours~ Love them! 💖

Real curious about this. I've been seeing so many different price ranges for nails and I find it very interesting to see how much it varies depending on where you live.

For instance, these two sets I got were somewhere around 28$ each (i live in Eastern Europe).

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!!

Obsessed and it ended up being way cheaper than I was expecting too 😭🫶

Just a start, but I love how simple they are and how good they turned out! Any recommendations for what I should try next?

I absolutely love this set that my nail tech created! I gave her with some inspiration pictures, and she was able to design these beauties. My nails have come a long way from the little stubs they were before. 😊

Can y'all share some short spring nail inspo??? Loving the pastels right now 🩷

Love how these came out!

Not typically a purple gal but this color caught my eye!👁️ Beetles brand and used the magnet down each side and then across the tip. Looks amazing, to me, for a second try! Thoughts? Tips? Tricks? Brands to try? Let me know! I’m also growing out builder gel so I can have natural nails again. I think I did an ok job e-filing it down to a natural nail shape.

Ripped my nail snowboarding + bruised the nail itself. The rip isn’t too bad, and the skin part hurt really bad yesterday but is starting to feel better. Can I put a press on nail over this now? Or how long should I wait? Thank you!

💜💚 My new favourite set! 💚💜

Base: Essie "Hard to Resist" (1 coat)

Lacquer: Color By TBN "Shana-na" (2 coats)

Topper: Nailed It "Flutterby" (2 coats)

Top Coat: Seche "Vive" (1 coat)

I did my own acrylics for the first time, but I didn’t do much research before purchasing supplies and my first set is super lumpy and uneven. Is there any way I can save these and put color on them? Or should I go to a professional and have them fixed?

(If some of them look like they’re going sideways it’s because my fingers are slightly deformed 😂)

Doing your own nails is either 2 hrs or 5, with coffee break in between. Gel mani with cateye and chrome art. Using Izemi base/top with Cleto fine cateye.

Pink might be a new staple for me!

I hope I get decent retention because these took alllll day!

I have such a hard time making the polish on my cuticle line look nice. I’d love any tips or feedback!! ♥️♥️♥️

Hey so I got some artificial nails, like the ones you apply at home. I love soft pinks/rose gold colours but I also wonder if these are too girly/too young for me (25 f)?

What’s your thoughts?

I’ve been doing biab for a year now but I constantly have problems with it lifting after the about a week and a half.

I do occasionally do polygel (only when I’m in a country that doesn’t really have biab) which I know makes me more susceptible to lifting. But besides that, is there anything I can do to help the lifting?

I usually get my nails done every three to four weeks, which consists of a Russian manicure, infill, and no gel polish top. My nails are also fairly long, coming about 1cm from the tip of my fingers. I’d post a photo but I’m due for an infill and they are looking pretty rough.

me & my nail tech decided last week that we should give gel x a try for my nail tips.

(because i been using structure gel on my nails. and even tho it helped me when accidents happened to protect my nails, it caused me great pain and doesnt protect my nails from breaking off when im trying to grow them back out. i needed a new method & she told me gel x would help when my nails are longer.)

BUT we switched to gel x & she told me that she didnt feel comfortable removing it herself and id like to know how i can do it myself (if possible)? i would go to one of the many bad salons in my town, but they dont gels outside of polish here. YES ive asked them in the past if they knew how to remove them; they dont know how.

Not sure if im getting
