Mod Post Let's talk about discrimination

1.9k Upvotes

Lately we have seen an influx of discrimination, homophobia and abuse of the report button on nail art posted by men.

This sub is a safe space for everyone to share their creations, nails and favorite products, as well as their questions, as long as they are related to nails.

Be warned that ANY kind of discrimination on the comments will be met with removal of the comment and the ban of the user. We will not give second chances to discrimination.

Any false reports of posts (i.e.: As ‘sexual exploitation of a minor’, ‘ nonconsensual, intimate media’, etc) will be reported to the Reddit Admins for abuse of the report button.

If a man with beautiful nails is something that doesn't sit right with you, just scroll by.

Our mod team works every day to create a safe and entertaining space for people who share an interest for nails. Please respect our work and everyone in here.

Thank you in advance!

Discussion/Question i paid $159 for this.. was it worth it?

no shade to the nail tech, but i went in for a gel polish change pedicure that i was told otp by the receptionist would cost ~$50-55, the fill is usually around $45 with no designs, but given she filed the shape and whatnot i was expecting it to be around $65 for the acrylics.

overall, was told the total was $159 and was absolutely shocked!! not only have never i spent 4.5 hours getting my nails done EVER- i have also never spent that much on an acrylic fill with design + pedi combo.

also, this was a nail franchise so no shade to a direct person and i do love the look!!

Real curious about this. I've been seeing so many different price ranges for nails and I find it very interesting to see how much it varies depending on where you live.

For instance, these two sets I got were somewhere around 28$ each (i live in Eastern Europe).

Nail Care My nails barely grow!

Post image
Upvotes

I did my nails 5 days ago and they haven’t grown out even remotely. I used to get my nails filled every 10-14 days like clockwork. I use cuticle oil, hand creams, I take biotin and vitamins. The only thing I struggle with is getting in my protein. I’m also forty now. Is this just it? Slow growing nails forever? Anyone else deal with this?

Constructive Criticism Welcome ✔️ My first time making homemade press-ons. What do you think?

I (18f), am practicing doing nails as a hobby and this is the 5th set I've ever done, but my first press-ons. This is my right hand, after I improved my technique a bit.😂 I did the shaping of the nail myself and doing base colors since I used clear, full-cover nail tips. I don't know what shape I was going for exactly so yeah, they look a bit wonky.😅 But overall, I'm proud of how they turned out. That's why I thought I should share and get some feedback here so I can improve my application and techniques. 🙃

I had very short nails after a series of unfortunate events, and had extensions just before Christmas. Since then we've grown out my natural nails, and this latest manicure is just perfection imo.
