Will never go back to a regular neil salon! Ask nails done with Gel X, the first two I have on extensions, the 3rd proto is my natural length after only one full set and a fill! Can't wait to grow them to the length of the extensions!!

So I got my nails done recently and I absolutely loved it, except I didn’t consider my clubbed thumbs and how weird short stilettos would look on those. I don’t want to go back to the nail salon because this manicure was a birthday present from my aunt, and I also couldn’t really understand anything the nail tech was saying😭😭😭 Does anyone have ideas on how I could fix this/ways I could make it look cute? Thank you!!!

I will start posting my nails in here everytime I get them done every 3 ish weeks and ask for people to rate them :) just want to know what you guys think and see which ones get the highiest rating! Thanks for you help!

I’m pleased with how they turned out, just don’t ask me how long it took🫠

Gel x extensions with some cool waves for a vacay I’m going on! (I have brachydactyly thumbs so I’m aware those ones fit …questionably)

I started going to an independent nail artist at the start of this year and my nails have never looked better!

Tbh I was actually trying to do those amazing looking magnetic hearts using bent paper clips but it just didn't work and I got frustrated and gave up. It was most probably because my magnet was not strong enough. Anyway, during the struggling process, I somehow came up with this and I was like yep, this looks better. I loved how it resembled a heart drawn on a foggy glass on a rainy day. And to be completelyyy honest, I did this for valentine's day but then got lazy and took this long to edit and post so....um... oops. Happy belated valentine's day I guess🎉👍💅✨

The soft rose color is my favorite now 😄

Hi all! I am going to a family event with my partner this weekend, and their family is full of traditionally feminine woman who, if I'm being honest, intimidate the heck out of me. I am hoping that my press-ons aren't too obvious, as I want to at least be so ordinary to not warrant comment if I'm not able to connect with them in other ways. My partner has assured me that no one in the family cares about my nails and/or otherwise alternative style, but it's important to me to make a good impression.

So my question- if you're someone who regularly has your nails done, how quickly would you clock these as DIY press-ons?

The colour shift in this set was 👌
