They are gorgeous!!
Thank you! I have my next appointment on Thursday and I'm thinking of going a bit of a mix of these 4. I'm honestly so glad I've found the nail lady I go to. I feel like we speak the same language and she definitely understands me, sometimes I will just show her a random picture (not of nails) and say that I'd like nails inspired by it and she always delivers imo :D

Guys I am so impressed. Went to the nail salon my mom recommended (that’s way cheaper than my go to salon) and o m g. These are my nails after almost 4 weeks - isn’t that crazy? They’re obviously growing out but there’s not a single chip? Going again later today and hoping for a similar result 🤞🏻

I’ve pulled off all my acrylics and I’m booked in on Monday for gel nails. Back to the drawing board. I get to the stage where I need a new set every 5 infills and they just start feeling manky. I dunno why!! Even if I oil them every day it doesn’t make a difference
Going to give biab another go
 
Got my appointment tomorrow morning 🤗 I need to get some inspo from insta before I go, I’m uninspired and getting so boring with my nails now!

So cute!! I love the shape of the second pic and the stripes. The problem with where I go is that it’s a good price and convenient, but they are soooooo slow. So I never want to go too intricate because I can’t bear sitting there for two hours 🤣
I’m thinking something like the pics below but sometimes I can’t even bring myself to ask for a French mani 🙃 first world probs I know! If things are really bad my appointment is at 10 and I’m not a morning person I’ll go for the plain raspberry shade 🤣

I feel you. I pay a higher price because she finishes my infills in 40 minutes start to finish. I hate the process but I love having nice nails 😂

Haha I’m glad I’m not alone. There’s definitely a balance to strike, finding someone who has attention to detail and someone who doesn’t take ALLLLL DAYYYY

I get my nails done every 3-4 weeks, just a one colour gel manicure. It's some of the only time I get on my own (work v long hours and have a 2 year old) and I love it. I used to feel guilty for spending £30 every month but now I see it as something for myself as I basically buy myself very little!
Getting them done on Monday and can't wait😂

I had to go in and have my nails removed as they started to completely come off after only a week 😭 Went back to my old place and the lady was shocked how badly they were done especially since the old color was still there.
Will be on a nail detox until after the bar and then I’ll treat myself again

I’m similar to you. It’s the only time I get free and really look forward to it 😊
