This is ‘Just in Wine’ from Sally Hansen ☺️

Don’t sleep on Hey Hae if you like semi-cured gel. My cuticles are a little tore up right now from yard work before I applied them but otherwise they look good to me to be so short! I’m also trying to protect my nail beds as my nails grow back out from wearing gel overlay. They’re so thin but the strips/wraps give me perfect dexterity without chipping unlike gel polish.

I wore a Dashing Diva semi-cured set for about 10 days until they started catching my hair.

I found these Hey Hae at the bottom of my nail basket and decided to give them a try. I did UV cure them with a lamp though because I don’t trust that they “cure in the sun.” I did try the sun just to see what happened and they hardened some but yeah, don’t cure these by the actual sun and risk allergy.

I clipped them down and shaped them. They are thinner on the sidewalls so they tend to lay more flush with the natural nail. A couple of them I had to put on upside down because I have wide nail beds but it worked perfectly. With DD I can’t always get sidewall to sidewall coverage but with these I could.
Interested to see how long they last.

I suck at pics but I’m just super impressed and wanted to share!

I wanted to create something simple but still eye-catching. 💙 What do you think of this blue French with rhinestones? Would you wear it?

Feat. my hand at a funny angle to show the shifty goodness!

This is 2 coats of "Power" from UK brand Ard As Nails (plus base and qdtc). It was an HHC polish a few months ago but is still available in their overpours, I just got mine and it's so beautiful!

I am autistic and cannot stand the feeling of having nails. And for 2 months I have not been able to stand the feeling or sight of nail polish. I finally picked a color that doesn’t give me the ick! 🌕🌈

I did these gorgeous neon cow print nails that look like summer in a mani 🤗 loved the result. One of my fav manis I've ever done. Are you a neon person?

I know many of us don't feel especially patriotic right now, but I grew up loving the 4th, and the values our nation was founded on to protect. I refuse to let any moron dim that on this day.

Hi! Life long nail biter here trying to do better! I would love my nail bed to grow and side walls with them. I'm so used to have insanely bitten nails that idk what "normal" even looks like. I'd love to see some healthy nails but also people who used to bite their nails too!

This is my third set ever and first time doing chrome!! Pretty proud 😊💕✨💜 (the chrome powder is Bonniebee green & blue and base is DnD 661)
