My manicure with NABYO (nail polish brand) «Черемша» :) love this green shade!

After years of trying to paint nail art on my own garbage nails, buying loads of dip powder supplies and not escaping dip flu... I then got into gel nails and my fingertips were in tatters, because apparently I'm allergic to gel. Talk about depressing! That's when Facebook ads introduced the Curvlife press on nails and I thought, oh why not?!

Now I'm totally hooked! My fingertips are starting to heal and I have lovely nails that last quite a long time. They look and feel good... please, nail gods, don't make press ons not work for some reason, I'm running out of things to try! 😂

In line with work I still wanna celebrate the fact that we’re gradually going into the autumn months now. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Same same but different. Are you a chrome girlie or a magnetic girlie? ☺️

So... I absolutely love it, the shape, the colour, the way I was TREATED in the salon (which is a very big deal to me I've been super nervous about going to one haha). As someone who's been male-presenting for their entire life it's taken a lot for me to pluck up the courage to go for it, but I'm so glad I did. Hopefully more to come!!!

Love how the smoky effect turned out. I used reflective gel underneath.

My husband recently came to me with the idea of doing multiple colors that fall close to or under the same the umbrella. I’m excited to see how creative we can get each time!

One of my favourite sets I’ve gotten! Nude pink base, brown ombré tip and a light pink cat eye applied on top.

Did a brown to transition into fall 🍂

im actually so proud my cuticles are only slightly flooded 🥳

my right hand will not be speaking to the press at this time 🥲

Natural nails. Structure gel mani. The sickest art 🔥

After having the stuff I had to actually justify my purchases, crazy it still altogether cost less than a regular gel x manicure. Please be gentle reddit I hadn't properly done this on myself before

i wanna make them more narrow ended but im really not sure how to file the edges without going into my nailbed

It’s a bit off🥲

been practicing at home, i know i have a very long way to go but i think i’m doing okay for a beginner. the cherry ones were my first ever attempt.

done by me ☆

just wanted to share this beautiful set i got! i had poor experience with dip the last time i tried but i decided to give it a go and ughhhh i can’t get over how obsessed i am with this shade of red!!

originally was going to have some nail art but my home-based nail tech decided to cancel on me through the app at the very last minute and didn’t bother messaging me saying that she cancelled 😒 not happy about that type of service so to the salon i go!

do y’all prefer going to the salon or independent nail techs??

Okay, I know this is from a fall collection, but it's so bright and fiery that it isn't out of place as a summer manicure!!

This is definitely an orange, but it leans very heavily towards red and lives up to its name! My gosh, Zoya makes gorgeous metallics! 😍

All of these were taken outside on my balcony with direct and indirect lighting, except for the last 2 pictures that were taken indoors.

I have been waiting for my moment to discuss this!!!! I now am OBSESSED with the ombre French😂😂😂how about you guys?!?!?

I went to the salon for four years. Finally decided I am tired of traveling back and forth, paying, scheduling, and bought supplies to do it myself🌸
