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!!

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).

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

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.

Pink might be a new staple for me!

💜💚 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)

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?

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.

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!! ♥️♥️♥️

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.

Last time I got my nails done was back in 2021. And this time it’s my actual nails! 💕

Designed some press ons today! This set reminds me on a sunset 🌅💅🏾
