Not the best manicure but these are all my own nails. Gardening season soon will see to that though.

So jealous of slow growing nails! Your two week picture looks like mine after 3 or 4 days.

callipygiana · 30/04/2017 19:17

Thanks choc! I went for classic red for the first time. I'm well chuffed with them

MrsCobain · 30/04/2017 20:06

My nails are one of the only things I have going for me. That and my razor sharp wit.

WindyWednesday · 30/04/2017 20:22

I'm a gardener so not that wonderful. But all my own work!

Wolfcub · 30/04/2017 20:30

Halo rose gold gel on my own nails

upinthesky · 30/04/2017 20:34

These are my 'galaxy' nails, they're my go to 'look how much effort I've put into my nails' look 😍

I love doing my nails I find it so relaxing

IGotABigMouthClive · 30/04/2017 20:39

My own nails! I'm having gel polish done for the first time on Saturday, trying to decide what I want.

IGotABigMouthClive · 30/04/2017 20:42

upinthesky me too, I only recently grew my nails and discovered how much I enjoy it.
HotMilk I love yours!

Did last night after Gin

JaceLancs · 30/04/2017 21:37

Gold opi glitter - I'm having a break from gel polish to allow my nails to recover

EatsLeavesAndShit · 30/04/2017 23:36

upinthesky how did you do your nails like that? They look stunning!

upinthesky · 01/05/2017 00:24

Eats-it's easier than it look, there's loads of tutorials online but basically I put a dark shade on, then cut up a cheap make up sponge and dab on different colours in sort of rough lines, I've used loads of different ones before but the best are deep blues, whites and purple that's what's on those, then I just dab on a chunky glitter usually just down the centre of the colours!

I've included some pics I actually took these a while ago when I did these and took pics of a few stages of it. Definitely worth a go, they look very effective :)
