covid definitely helped with the biting the nails thing. At least something positive for me came out of all this

icedcoffee, that's so great!! I still marvel at my nails and the fact that I've been able to go over two years without biting them. Keep it up and I hope you figure out how to post photos because I'd love to see them!

I started doing my own dip manicures a few months ago. This is out of my comfort zone but I love it!

I’m new to this nail thing. What is a dip manicure? It's basically colored acrylic powder. You paint your nails with an adhesive stuff, dip, repeat, top with a setting polish stuff then apply clear coat of some sort, usually gel.

I just did these. I can't get the color to show right but it's more purple and the glitter is Holo.

I'd really like to get into selling full sets. I was thinking of including an alcohol prep, a file, a glue and a small hand lotion. swellist suggested Etsy but I'm still struggling with figuring out sizing and pricing. I might make a few gift sets and send them to work with h to see how they do.

Does anyone do polish pick up here? I almost don't even want to mention it because it might make it harder for me to colors I want but I think it's really cool and important to support the ladies making indie polishes.

Every year brings new trends in makeup, clothes, colours and hair styles. Nail fashion certainly line up. Personally I like nail art; but I prefer it on natural ones. I have several nail polishes by F.U.N Lacqer, from basic nude ones to very dark / colorful (I'm wearing a dark blue atm). marc Jacobs makes a very dark blue I'm in love with. then when it starts to look old, I just add a sparkle coat on top.

I have embraced the home gel manicure life. One thing I struggle with is shaping my nails. I can never do it anything close to even. All my nails end up different lengths. Any tips or suggestions?

I clip just enough to get them all the same length, then shape with a file. I do square, tapered, or coffin. It helps because my nails kinda naturally go square. What shape do you make them? If you want to get really crazy, some ppl count the number of files they do and match on all fingers
