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!!

@Alwayslikethis yes they're pressons, I can't go to a salon for various reasons so these work great for me. Totally different than normal pressons I've tried over the years which lasted five minutes. I get about 2 weeks of wear from them when prepped properly and bonus is they are reusable and pretty affordable.

@buffyandspikeandfaith I adore her, I can sit and watch her for hours. She's so talented and I just love her whole aura. I also love Tha Nail bender, Nails by Dev and Zaney Nails.

Do you all follow madi_cured on Instagram? Her work is incredible

Yes! It was her work that made me ask my amazing nail tech for what I actually wanted which is usually a bit out there !

That’s brilliant! I hope to get to a point where I can wear Press ons. They all look so good and you can just take them off! I love the my little pony ones!

I think you’d like vivxue on TikTok and her tag is the same on insta. Her press ons are out of this world! She does floating ones, heat activated, cold activated. These are her inside out nails

Whenever I get gel nails done the nail technician always manages to nick my skin around my cuticles - so annoying! Is this common? Can’t be good in terms of infection etc…

Alwayslikethis · 08/06/2025 00:57

Hope this works

I can only speak on my experience but I need my cuticles sorting every time and this last time I had my nails done was the first time she nipped me in 18 months of getting my nails done every 4/5 weeks. That’s not normal in my experience

@Alwayslikethis yes I also follow her! Her talent is insane, there are so many amazing artists online it's difficult to pick what I want which is why I have so many sets now 😂

LadyBevington · 08/06/2025 01:00

Here are mine, I've only had my nails done once in a salon and hated the whole experience ! So just file myself if they chip 😊

Whilst the Powerpuff Girls weren’t really aimed at my demographic (I was late teens when these were on the Cartoon Network) my DB who is 8 years younger, would always watch the show each afternoon, so it has a fond place for me.

Honestly, I’m just disappointed there isn’t a Mojo JoJo included!! One of the best cartoon villains out there!

You are right!! I may have to redo this one at some point and include him!

I love the wicked and villa ones!!! 🥰🥰

😱😱😱 West Ham not Villa! 🙈🤣🤣🤣

I did love my Wicked nails, that was my own idea and while it’s simple they worked so well. The pastel Easter ones were my idea too and apparently she shared the pic after and had so many people request the same after that so I’m proud of that one. 😁

I do my natural nails weekly. It's so much fun and I'm naturally creative but work in finance, so it's a great creative outlet for me.

Some different ones

These are the only ones I like really, they're great. I'm not a fan of gel nails unless they are REALLY well done, and I don't think the "clenched fist" pose for nail photos is very flattering.

I'm devastated

My fist is "clenched " because I have a deformity in my hand which means I can't straighten my little fingers, however i like to have cheerful nails.

Happy Sunday eh?😀

Yes!! I did feel a bit like.. oh ok when my forst
comment was ‘I don’t like nails’ 👍🤣🤣 the world would be boring if everyone liked the same thing but why comment 🤣🤣

Indeed.

Keep doing your quirky nails, they are lovely.

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!

Edited

They are lovely, mine are Lily and Fox too 😄

MonickerMonica · 08/06/2025 09:50

A new day 🌼🌞🌝 and yet more glorious nail photos.

Don't stop showing them! 🤩👀💖

troppibambini6 · 08/06/2025 09:57

Mine are a bit safe and boring. They are coming up to two weeks on though and not looking too bad despite a week in the sun swimming and on the beach.

You may think they look safe and boring but to me they look elegant and timeless and like you have money. 😆

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

Your nails are fab. I wish I could get mine that long.

Thank you. I've had gel nails in the past but I just can't get on with them....forget I have them and stab myself or something and the gel/acrylic rips off. Bloody agony. So I just didn't bother anymore.

I absolutely love all the funky ones. My friend wears similar and I love checking out what she has each time.
