I’ve finally grown my nails a nice length, got them strong, and want to get a decent manicure.

Would you be so kind as to show me yours, please, I need colour/design/art inspiration!

Here's mine currently - BIAB on my own natural nails. I just have different colours done to change it when I go for infills 🙂

If your naturel nails are now good and strong do not get gel or anything else unless you want your nails to be ruined for a long while. I know lots of people will disagree with me but it's not worth the risk. It's the removal process which damages natural nails. Pastel colours are lovely for summer.

I was actually thinking of good old fashioned polish. Doesn’t last as long but less damaging.

I don’t know much about BIAB though.
