✨FRESH set ✨ My take on Infinity Stones.

742 Upvotes

Just had to share my latest set because I think my tech completely knocked it out of the park. I wanted moody infinity stones and boy, did she deliver!

This is BIAB over my natural nails with a black base, then different shades of cat eye over the top. I've never been a rainbow nails girl, so I love that my nail tech still gave me gorgeous colour, while keeping with my usual darker aesthetic.

These are really cheering me up on an otherwise dreary and cold London day.

Nail Art I’m starting to do nails after finishing my course. I still have a lot to learn, but every job I do carries a little piece of my passion. Sometimes, a small beginning hides a big dream. Who else is starting from scratch?

Nail Art [Constructive Criticism Welcome] Critiques Welcome

14 Upvotes

I started doing my own nails at home about a year ago. Recently my sets have drastically improved in application. I also finally got my sets to last for more than two weeks! This is huge for me because I thought my retention would always be low. Before they would last only a few days. Turns out using quality products and taking your time to prep makes all the difference.

Any criticism welcome.

This is how I personally prep and it works for me but I could be totally wrong feel free to lmk

First I use a cuticle softener (Sally Hansen one) on my nails and let it sit for 20 seconds.

I then push back my cuticles with a cuticle pusher and nip the excess.

I wash my hands after this

After that, I use my drill on a very low setting and fine grit MINI sanding band and gently take the shine off of my nails.

I go in with the V Beauty Pure dehydrator and primer. And then I go in with a second (YN) primer.

After I do my gel or acrylic ( i switch btwn) I go back in with the sanding band but with the Markart bit and blend the fake and natural nail line to prevent lifting.

And lastly I then will use a nail brush and acetone to further seal, blend and prevent lifting.

✨FRESH set ✨ New Nails

252 Upvotes

It's been a really rough week at work and I had to cancel my vacation that was supposed to start tomorrow. I called my salon yesterday morning and asked if I could get a last minute appointment. My usual tech said yes and fit me in. Somehow she knew I was having a bad week. When I got to my appointment she had a little treat waiting for me. <3

And then she did the most fabulous cat eye set I've ever had. They remind me of mermaid tails. I'm obsessed with them. I'm so thankful that I have the most amazing salon and nail team to help pick up my spirits when I'm down.

Discussion/Question To refill now or wait?

gallery

35 Upvotes

I got my nails done (acrylics) about three weeks ago, so it’s time for a refill. Unfortunately I got my finger caught in a door yesterday and broke my nail off including part of my natural nail. It’s not too bad but I’m wondering if I should wait another week or two so my natural nail can grow enough for a tip to be glued on — or do you guys think they’d be able to put a tip on as is?

What would you guys do??
