Okay. Here I am. Posting my nails for the first time. This was before I cleaned them up. And my gosh is it hard to take good pics of an old lady’s fingernails.

I used to hold the nail clippers so that they just touched the tip of my finger to clip. That way I knew they would all be cut right at the tips, then just barely file to smooth the edges.

this thread has finally broken me of my fear of posting pics. Is there a link to show me how to do it? I have to share my nail stuff. It started when I broke up w my ex. Whenever I wanted to rage phone, or sad phone her-- I did my nails. By the time the old stuff was off the cuticles trimmed, base coat and so on applied... the terrible grip of addiction lifted somewhat. So now that I'm feeling less addicted/needy/terrible/lonesome- its a form of self care I'm into. now I own tape, 30+ colors, brushes, gems, metal studs. etcetcetc. I want to show them off, though they be quite humble comparatively

But then it’s super easy, just click the photo button and choose the photo from your phone. I think Kida has a site she uses similar to imgur which you can’t use anymore. Edit: bc I totally want to see your nails and your stash!!

Lurker jumping in here! Nails are getting me through the pandemic. Here’s my latest attempt, which is a bit glitzier than is normally my style but I’m liking it more and more!

I am a big fan of color street nails despite my general disdain for MLMs, because I haven’t yet found a better product with as many cute design options. This is from three different packs, light blue base, the pink/blue glitter overlay and a stripe overlay that I turned sideways. I’ve been experimenting a lot with mixed manicures recently. Please excuse my terrible cuticles, hand washing has not been kind to me.

Dramaphile, I love the colors! Handwashing has been cruel to my cuticles as well. Even the cuticle oil I use has been ineffective.

I realized I was starting to bit my nails again absent minded my. My nails were kind of long with no polish so I trimmed them down so they feel strong and painted them.

Aha! Took a few tries. So those are my bright 80s nails. This was after a week. Now I'm on 14 days and have a chip on two fingers. I'm going to take them off today mainly because they've grown out and are looking weird.
I'm all in on these, they're awesome. Non mlm from mail your nails? I have no affiliation but bought then off an IG add and have been really happy w the diff patterns and durability. The yellow was a little wonky on these but I think because it's so bright and light it showed every little imperfection on my nails.

Ok, maybe this works? Accents are the same cheapo wraps I love. Solid is OPI which I've never actually bought before and I HATE it. I dont know why but it just chips horribly. I'm going to stick with my Essie from now on, that stuff is tough.

I'm on my second week of those wraps too and while i love them on the sheet, my nails are just too small for the pattern 😂 they're like bright kind of summery fruits and flowers. So, now i know to stay away from the larger prints. 🤷♀️

Does anyone have a good cuticle oil rec? My hands are looking rough.
Also my hair and nails grow ridiculously fast (not bragging, I wish I could go longer between getting my roots done) so I just keep clipping my nails as short as possible.
I'm dying for a pedicure.
