Show me your November nails :)

[Glassofshloer]

Inspired by another thread, I’m going to do my nails tomorrow but not sure what to go for… feels just a bit too soon for the red & sparkly, but summer pastels are long gone.

Can I see yours please? 💅

Screws and panel pins in there too.

Jealous. And a tin as well?! Blatant favouritism.

I have a sparkly black on. I'll be getting them done in a couple of weeks so will choose a gold glitter to take me through December until nearer Christmas.

Oh there are some gorgeous colours here.
@Dixiechickonhols Can I ask what make that plum colour is? It's just what I've been looking for!

Would this be the place to ask about gel or shellac nails (I've never done either - always just paint on regular polish myself at home)?

This was to go with my Halloween costume

Lots of people with square-ish nails on here. Is square the new shape?
Will post a pic of mine later once I’ve done it,

I prefer square(ish) - I think it looks the most elegant.

Leaveyourhaton it’s colour George porgie in magpie beauty gel.
I have mine done by local beautician it’s £21 for gel lasts 2.5/3 weeks. She files and tidies cuticles plus polish. It sets under a lamp so it doesn’t chip as easily.
I had acrylic nails for a while (they build your nail up) but it’s quite time consuming and I didn’t like them too long anyway. I had a big gap during covid just started again last month just gel and feel better with it.
I’m not into hair/makeup but does make me feel a bit more done.

Love my new autumnal nails. Thanks for all the inspiration!

I have an appointment tomorrow for a manicure thankfully, but I’ll be keep this lovely autumnal colour.

My autumn theme, always need a bit of sparkle but saw these on Pinterest and loved them

I still have my Halloween nails on but will be doing a fresh set over the weekend, not sure what yet though.

As someone who works with patients my nails are the same in July to Nov...short and without nail damaging polish! But each to their own. I know no one who has anything else than I describe so I must live in another world!

🥺🥺🥺🥺 they're so cute

I went a bit mad! I just felt like something different

Skinny french for me.

There's no real defined shape any more. So many varieties, it's personal choice. I keep my nails in the shape that the grow as that is the shape they are the strongest in ie not likely to break or tear.

Learning how to fix a tear has been a god send. For those who don't know, a tea bag and some nail glue will get you out of trouble (keep that in the handbag for emergencies) but the best I have found is silk paper and nail glue. 3-4 weeks of that can be the difference between a nasty low tear and a short but wearable nail.

If you get into nails a bit there's really fun things you can do like hombre / fades, stamping plates, stickers, tape patterns like someone had above etc I really enjoy changing mine every week.

Having mine redone this weekend. Think I will go for either navy blue or bottle green this time.

Magenta for me

Mine -love them!

Can I ask, does anyone have any recommendations for a good gel varnish? I had OPI when I used to get my nails done at the salon and I loved theirs but now I use a machine at home and my varnishes are by Mylee. They’re good but I’m not that keen on the ‘feel’ of the colours, if that makes sense? A little too glossy, and I’d like to find something that looks a bit deeper.

@HollyandIvyandAllThingsYule the gel bottle is what my salon use and they're great.

A bit neutral but went for a change.

@shouldistop thanks!

These are mine. Had them done a couple of weeks ago though and a few have broken since . My 8 yo DD picked the colour
