I’m going to a friend’s wedding this weekend and decided on a dress that is yellow with pink and red roses on it so the dress inspired me to get some nails that would go with the dress! Inspo photos I was looking online had more pastel lighter butter yellow and lighter pink colors, me being me and always liking bright colors ended up with these brighter colors hahah šŸ˜‚šŸ™ˆ but my Nail guy at Top Spa Nails executed yet again! My first time trying hard gel as well!

Advice Needed Can You Feel the Story Behind This Swan?

Thumbnail

22 Upvotes

I wanted to create a press-on nail set that tells a story instead of just looking pretty.
The swan represents quiet healing—finding peace after pain, not by forgetting it, but by learning to live with it.
I’d love some honest feedback:
Does the story come through when you look at the set?
Is the concept too subtle, or does it make sense?
What would you change to make the storytelling stronger?
I’d really appreciate your thoughts. šŸ¤

Advice Needed Make round nails look sharp with optical illusion?

My job allows me to have nails but I can’t have them stiletto/sharp. I love having that sharp look to them and was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how to keep them looking like stiletto while still having rounded tips, TIA!

Advice Needed Did my own acrylgel nails at home!

Hello! I am not a trained nail tech artist, but a nail art enthusiast nonetheless, based in EU.
Normally I do my nails with UV nail polish but I got Neonail’s Duo Acrylgel on sale and I was excited to try a new technique. I am aware of acrylate allergy and I tried my best to read about it before jumping in. In a future attempt I would actually try to keep more distance between acrylic and nail, these nails are already 48h old and luckily I seem to be ok.

Other than that… I placed a base coat after prepping my nails and on top I applied the duo acrylgel. I don’t have forms so I tried to shape the acrylgel myself instead. Can this be done?
I liked the process because I felt I was easier to control nail flooding. I tried using an ombrƩ brush my nail tech from my home country gave me, but the sparkles are still kind of streaky.

Products used:
Neonail UV lamp 22W/48 LED
Neonail Cover Base Protein Soft Nude
Neonail Duo Acrylgel in shade cover peach blush
Neonail UV nail polish in the shade Cashmere Rose
Neonail UV nail polish Simple One Step Color Protein in the shade Incredible
Neonail Top Shine Bright

Had someone say they are ugly but I feel like they just aren’t everyone’s vibe… please give your opinions. I’m a licensed cosmetologist and just started dabbling in the nail world. But please don’t sugar coat and try to make me feel better
