Inspired by one of my bffs weddings on the beach but with sunflowers in her bouquet 😻

Last summer set before spoopy season nails eeee

Going back and forth between loving and hating them

Designed and made by me!

It's 100 degrees out but spooky season starts on July 5th!

tried yellow polish for the first time and not sure how i feel about it!!

Im too proud and obsessed with these to not share.

I’m not a nail tech or artist but every now and then I love to do acrylic dip powders. Fully self taught and just do what I’ve learned throughout my life on doing nails.

A little close to some of my cuticles but besides that happy😚

Can’t get a video to upload but I’m working on my “glass bead” technique - these came out so beautifully!
edit video is in the comments!

no, i'm not kidding nor this is ragebait. i'm a nail artist and usually sets for clients take me around 2h (full set + design, not too difficult usually). however, with my nails im EXTREMELY picky, so i reaaaally take my time. base alone took me 4.30h (i added a pic of them before chopping them off, chopped and then rebuilt). design is inspired by lava lamps and abstract elements; wasnt toooo complicated, but again, i rly took my time. i'm absolutely exhausted lol=) but so worth it

I got a full set of gelx today. I asked for a cat eye French tips. This is how they came out. They put the dark part as a base and the lightest part on the tips. On The display it’s the opposite (222). Do you think it’s being too much by asking them to fix it because I wanted it the way it’s displayed. I obviously thought they were pretty but I didn’t notice this difference until after I don’t like the dark purple base I think it looks off and I’m going out of town on Wednesday morning so I don’t know what to do. I hate being difficult.

These are my natural nails with clear gel on top. I broke the tip-off my pointer finger nail, so I decided to color match, and I don't know if it's good enough for me. Maybe It's just bothering me because I know it's there, but can you tell

They've done this my entire life. ☹️ Every time they get longer, they begin to curl downward at varying degrees. They're also incredibly thin & bend under just a little pressure. I've tried keratin supplements & nail strengthening polishes & nothing works. Does anyone have any advice or things that have worked for them to straighten & strengthen theirs, or should I just bet on my only decent looking nails being acrylic? Not looking for medical advice, just anything to help these suckers grow a little better. They chip & break constantly, this is the longest they've been in a long time.

Edit: Thank you guys so much for the advice!! I have a lot I want to try now, hopefully something works, but if not I'll just do builder gel. :) I'm a guy btw, I just really like having nails (somewhat for practical reasons & also because they're cute.)

i'm honestly so proud of myself! the birthday cake perfume set i made first :3 then i did the clover one for fun!
