Stunning... what gorgeous hands you have.
My daughter is a trained nail technician and beauty therapist.
She gives me a pedicure and does my toe nails with gell.. but l just don't like my finger nails with gel or anything...but l do like an exfoliation etc.

I’ve never had a manicure and only ever use clear nail polish. I keep my nails short, just a teeny bit beyond my fingertips. I like the idea of getting a neat, professional job done though. Would it be weird to go to a nail bar to get something simple done? I’m not interested in nail extensions or jazzy designs.

Not at all! I have plain/block colours most of the time (I have mine done every 4 weeks, have done for years). Occasionally I might go for something sparkly, and I do love a bit of tortoiseshell now and then, but mostly, I just go for standard French, or red etc.

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve got a wart on my finger. So they’re not perfect by any means!

Why are you bumping your thread, OP?

Are you not happy with it? I’d be a bit pissed off with the cuticle areas and the miss-matched shapes, but it’s not too bad.

It’s not that I’m not happy with it but I’m just seeing how everyone thinks it looks for next time I go.

Why have you got 3 almost identical threads? (With the same photo of your hand on them?)

Why have you missed a nail?

Why are you obsessed with hands?

So many questions! 😬

Well, it’s not great but not terrible. The shapes are not uniform, the cuticles haven’t been done well and there are gaps. The ring finger looks silly.
