I hate getting my nails done at a salon, but I can see why other people would like it. I prefer to do it at home in peace.
Currently mine are a mix of dark purple with silver spiderwebs, orange with jack o lantern faces, and neon green 💜🧡💚 |

Sorry to hear about your shitty time. Sometimes we just need to pamper ourselves in what ever guise or form that is. I hope it gives you a boost! |

"Enjoy! It's a little thing I really enjoy too, although I do it myself. I enjoy taking a moment out of my day to massage cuticle oil in."
This is exactly it, I think doing small things for ourselves really help with self confidence x |

"I love having mine done. I had long red ones last week. Went to the salon on Saturday and got new ones with diamonds. It's nice having pretty hands and toes "
Just makes me feel so much more put together. I’m so excited to get them done x |

I have mine done once a month and it makes me feel so much better just taking that time out for me. It’s the little things that can make so much difference |

You absolutely can. (Welcome to the dark side etc)
Absolute base requirements: nail file, cuticle pusher, base coat, top coat (look for quick dry, sometimes QDTC, to make your life easier), colour.
(This is lacquer. I don't fuck with gel. I'm not criticising those who do, just I don't)
Thin layers until opacity or desired effect. Firm cleanup brush and acetone (very very rigid concealer brushes) if you get it on your skin or into your cuticles (never get gel on skin. Can create/exacerbate allergies).
Cuticle oil for moisturising around your nails and avoiding hangnails, cuticle balm can help with pushing cuticles down, cuticle remover can help get rid of excessive cuticle (be careful though).
Takes longer than at a salon, but it's perfectly possible. |

I love love maintained nails/ hands on both men and ladies I'm actually qualified to do gel nails now and only really do them on myself. I do it because I find it therapeutic, I enjoy the quiet, the concentration and love seeing the end result. I think there is nothing nicer than hands that have been looked after kinks x |

I love having nice nails, and have them done maybe every 4 weeks. It's a little treat for myself and always makes me feel good, and I get lots of compliments in work about them.
I tend to go for neutral colours. |

When everything is a bit shit some pampering is what's needed. Self love is very underrated, you genuinely do deserve it. 😘
I always feel better with great nails. Sure you'll feel Fabulous! xx |
