Can I see you nails? I'm treating myself tomorrow and not sure what pattern/ style to ask for

Stressedmum2017 · 15/12/2022 21:47

I'm going Saturday going to have this but white

Here’s my Christmas nails

Bouncebacker · 15/12/2022 22:07

These are totally gorgeous but can I just ask, do you guys have jobs / kids / laundry/ cooking to do? I have a regular manicure maybe three times a year and the rest of the time my hands are just a mess - I can’t imagine how I would keep these beauties attached

Yeah can do absolutely anything with them you need to. I'm a single mum so everything falls down to me inc gardening, DIY jobs etc. And yeah not a problem it just takes a bit of getting used to.

@forwhatitsworth22 , yes, they’re just gel
nails

ClandestineAdulation · 15/12/2022 22:25

These are mine, did them last night. Natural nails, Essie polish, nice and straight forward!

@Bouncebacker

I can do everything I need to- don’t have kids, my job is working on a laptop so just typing; cooking is easy enough and my dh does the laundry

Cas112 · 15/12/2022 22:36

Just had done tonight

Sleepyquest · 15/12/2022 22:37

@Bouncebacker I have two very young kids and gels stay on me for about 4 weeks regardless of all the cleaning, wiping and doing

I have a son, clean, do laundry and other bits. Nails usually last 3 to 4 weeks

I'd love to get my nails done long but love playing my piano too much! I shan't share a photo 😅

Very classy, much more sophisticated than the hideous long talons some have. Claws come to mind 🫢

23Elfie · 15/12/2022 22:47

These are mine, they're gels I did myself x

NeedAHoliday2021 · 15/12/2022 22:49

These are my summer ones but having the same for Christmas next week.

NeedAHoliday2021 · 15/12/2022 22:51

These were my autumn ones that have grown out so far that I’ve just painted over with black nail polish as I’m going out tomorrow night. I have left the gel coat on as they strengthen my nails.
