I recently had my nails done and I’m in actual love with them. Can you be so in love with your own nails that you want to just stare at them forever and ever? So show me your nails now or your best nails! I told my nail tech to go ‘retro’ and that she did!!

Really happy with a fresh plain pink. I have a couple of big meetings with heads of dept in work next week so a sensible set was in order.

Pink and orange modern french tips. However, I'm not keen on this long thin French tip style, prefer the more traditional look.

Last bright summery nails before I go Autumnal.

Without wanting to derail as these are all fab looking, I had a bad experience with my last set of gels and wondered if people had some advice? They’ve most started lifting at the bottom and it’s travelling up the nail. I’ve cut them as short as possible but the separation is still travelling. I’m oiling regularly and won’t do a manicure for a few months but any advice on how to encourage the healthy growth? It’s not my salons fault, it’s mine for the fact I’ve removed them badly myself. Thanks

Found these in a bag in the garage.

I had gels once, really buggered up my nails, they were splitting vertically despite having them properly removed. 6 months on they are finally starting to recover, I've been using OPI nail envy and taking biotin and bovine collagen supplements

She filed my too short this time , I like them being longer being honest , I do like the colour I’ve chosen though ..

I don’t know if it’s the way you photograph them, but your little finger nail always looks like it’s on a bit sideways.

Missj25 · 10/08/2025 19:01

It must be how I photo them 🤷🏻‍♀️
Not side ways at all , they’re my own nails , does it look better in this photo maybe ?

I hate anything on my nails.

Probably not the thread for you then.

Can I have some thoughts on these, classy or tacky? I've got a holiday and an engagement party coming up, thought they'd work for both

Late to the party and probably too late, but I love these 😊

Think you’ve got a few loose screws… 😆

These are my new ones

I'm a bit boring and like my nails all one colour but I do prefer a bright colour. My next set will be bright pink or coral for going on holiday.

Does anyone have any thoughts on Mavala Scientifique K+ nail strengthener? Or any that they think are better?

I’m growing my nails and want natural strength. Gel or BIAB that completely ruins them so I’m sticking with old school polish and natural strength. (Plus collagen and biotin supplements).

Currently doing my own neon French tips with a silicone stamper thing and paint-on latex.

I love these. I’ve been having more subtle designs recently but fancied something bright this time 🙂

Slightly less boring this month.

Decided on grown up and elegant nails this month. Nude pearlescent. I really love the clean simplicity, I'm considering keeping these for most of the year now. Maybe switch it up for holidays and Xmas.
