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!!

ooh lovely summery colour. Do you go to the same place?

Thank you. No but I know of it. I go to one across from there.

buffyandspikeandfaith · 07/06/2025 23:48

Very boring! Just nail polish at home, own nails

Op yours are fab! Loving all the nails and chuckling at folk coming on to say they don't like getting theirs done. Like I'll ask what's your favourite book....answered 'I dont read books '

I like a polka dot

@Alwayslikethis LOVE the nightmare before Christmas set! I am a sucker for a character set, I've had all sorts. Winne the pooh, My little Pony, Care Bears, Hey Arnold, Pingu and I just had an Aristocats set the other day. Planning a Corpse Bride set soon too. I know they're not for everyone and some people think they look awful but they make me happy and that's all that matters 😂.

Oh my god!! I love a character set!!! I’ve tried over the last year to see where her limit is and it appears to not exist so now I’ve decided to just say ‘I want xyz let’s book out enough time’ and she just knocks it out the park. I love them so much. Do you have any photos ? I love ping! I’m thinking either Rugrats, bang on the door (aging myself now) or teenage mutant ninja turtles next 🥰. Life is too short to have boring nails

I stopped biting mine two years ago. Started getting biab then when long enough the nail tech suggested acrylic overlays. I've had them soo long for ages and almond shaped.

I needed them soaked off last week and my nails were like paper so just said to cut them right down and put biab on again and got a plain pink as felt too short to do anything else.

If I don't get something on them il just likely end up biting them again or they will break as not strong after so many years of biting.

@Alwayslikethis Bang on The Door is also on my list, along with Groovy chick and I'd love a Cynthia Pickles (Rugrats set!). The only photos I have wearing my sets are the ones I posted on here but I'll DM you photos of the others! Don't want to post them on here incase it looks like advertising although it definitely is not I just have an addiction 😂.

Fatbride · 08/06/2025 00:11

@Alwayslikethis scratch that I cannot send photos via DM! Sorry 😂

I was already loving that set then saw this comment. Wow!

I’ll have to find some of my other ones to post later too. Thank you to the PP who loved them. I love my nail artist. We’ve known each other since our kids were at nursery together and they’re 21 now. I rarely know what I want so she often gets to do whatever she wants when I go in. And when I do have an idea she always nails it (pun not intended! 🙈🤣)

Very hard to photograph as the colour changes when they move but I’ve got these cat-eye iridescent ones at the moment. It’s a black base with chrome over the top and a transparent red top coat (I think? It was all quite complicated and I zoned out a bit while the nail tech was doing them).

These are gorgeous, I have never seen anything like this

Tarkan · 08/06/2025 00:25

Found a few of mine from the past. :)

Couple of Easter ones, a Christmas one, Wicked theme and then a West Ham one which I’m pretty sure my nail artist was cursing me over but she did brilliantly.

Ah no worries! I just love funky nails ! Don’t worry about looking like an advert! I’m sure no one cares ! Heck you might get your tech more work! 🥰😊
