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!!

Another lifelong nail biter who has finally managed to stop. I am loving playing with different colours and working out what suits me. This is my current set. It looks amazing in the sunlight with the cats eye effect. I never thought I would be brave enough to go blue, but the darker tones seem to work better than pale ones with my skin.

I have just looked back at the first set I had back in December and seeing how far the shape and length have come makes me so happy!

Just caught up with the last few nail photos and they're all lovely. One day I may treat myself to a salon visit but how on earth do you choose which ones when you're in there? There are thousands of styles and colours and I don't think I've seen one I don't like. 💖

Do absolutely nothing with mine bar file them down when they get too long. I love all the art!

Yours are my favourite. I can't stand anything on my nails, strange as I won't go over the door without my hair and make up done but I think natural well cared for nails are best. Classy, smart and hygienic.

A pale lilac by Barry M at the moment. More subtle than my usual, but I quite like it.

Beautiful natural nails.

@DontTouchRoach@MonickerMonica It's beyond a hard habit to stop! My eldest DS was a biter too but he just stopped on his own when he was about 14. I so want to chomp mine off right now, but I love, love these photos of incredible nails. WOW all of you!!!

guineapigsears · 07/06/2025 20:11

Mine are usually longer and more exciting, but I just cba anymore.

BIAB and plain-ish for me from now on.

The only thing I’m annoyed about is my engagement ring is wonky in the photo 🤣

They are so cute how much was they ?

Oh your nails!! Amazing all of them!

I’m so sorry to end up boring the chat but this is the shortest I’ve had them for a while and after red / dark for a long time I wanted something clean looking so I’ve had this the last three times I’ve been to the salon!

*And I’m trying to take a picture of my hands…I’ve realised I may of broken my little finger at point as I can’t get it to bend properly 😵‍💫

Hehehehe!! My old wrinkly hands with all.the nail varnish chipped off! I'm going away next week so will make an effort then. For now, this is the shame I'm waving about - but I'm proud because I've been a nail biter for 53yrs and here they are unbitten 😁

Well done!!! It’s never too late to have lovely nails x enjoy having them manicured and ‘done’ x

HeathenPlayingHouse · 07/06/2025 20:50

Love your nails OP 😍

Nail wraps for me, I love having my nails done but I’m on a budget.

£1.99 from Lily and Fox and I’m on day 9, so I can’t complain!

Best on the thread.

I agree. They are natural looking. I have a similar nail polish.

I use my hands a lot - computer work, gardening, cooking etc and find that long nails get in the way, so how do long nail owners manage?

BrunchBarBandit · 07/06/2025 20:56

Mine are growing out.

Lots of inspiration here for the next set😍
