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

@mortifying just checked - Island Hopping which is Essie and the other is actually a Nails Inc polish called Bosses Be Like 🤦🏻‍♀️ I think the colours are really nice together!

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

Gel with shellac on top. Doesn't budge for a month

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

Absolutely beautiful natural nails. Love the colours you've chosen..

Had these done last night! Shellac on my natural nails. Don't stop me doing a thing! I love having them done.

They are lovely colours together.

The light is shocking in my lounge but these are my Christmas "talons"

Mine are home done gels. Currently green, going red soon for Christmas week.

I like mine short, but they are acrylics. They need redoing now though as this was nearly a month ago. I'll be going next week sometime.

pink powder and smile line.

JesusHRooseveltChristSassenach · 16/12/2022 04:00

Natural nails with BIAB.

Done a week ago. Didn't fancy anything too Christmass-y so went for a winter theme instead

There's always a nail snob on these threads. If you don't like nails then don't look.

Great looking nails ladies, I am giving birth any day now so haven't bothered with anything flashy or glittery for Christmas so I won't bore you with a photo but I have enjoyed looking at your designs.

Itsanewme · 16/12/2022 05:36

Darker colour for Christmas
Shellac.

Bad lighting but here’s a picture of mine taken yesterday.

@Bouncebacker I’m currently on maternity leave but I have a 8 month old and 19 month old. Doesn’t stop me doing a thing but I’ve been getting shellac acrylics since I was a teenager so I’m used to it

Nails
Whyjustwhy123 · 16/12/2022 06:12

Getting them done today. This blue is my favourite colour (its sparkly) but going to go Christmasy today 🎄

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.

They are gorgeous!

forwhatitsworth22 · 16/12/2022 08:21

These are all amazing!!! I'm thinking natural nails with the colour on top

Just red glitter but I love my Christmas "claws" 😂

QueefQueen80s · 16/12/2022 10:17

And yes can still do everything in them aside from push a button on a toilet flush so I just use my knuckle 🤷🏻‍♀️😆

JorisBonson · 16/12/2022 10:20

Current nails, going for black with gold glitter next week.

You don't wear contacts do you? I struggle to get them out when mine are too long.

QueefQueen80s · 16/12/2022 10:53

@mortifying I do, I just pinch my fingers lower down, I can also put my lashes on every day etc.

Oh there is one thing I can't do.. pick off the crud on my piercings 😞😂
