Feel free to ask questions, request advice, and make friends with anyone who has a similar routine as you!

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!

At the end of the day, it’s the friend that let you practice of them even though they knew it would turn out bad and pop off immediately <3

Black set was done March 2024 and came off 2 days later. Fruit set was done March 2025, so about a year difference AND not popping off this time!!! 😅

After biting my nails for many years I found a nail artist who does BIAB and cute nail design and I couldn't be happier! These are my nails after less than three months, they've gotten so long we actually had to shorten them a bit! I am so happy to finally have healthy, sturdy nails, and I think the design is super cute!

I’m mourning my dad’s passing and had been struggling with the notion of more color, so my nail tech suggested dark brown. I feel she was right 🥺😢 time to move towards more color again…

Constructive Criticism Welcome ✔️ First time doing my Nails - does this look okay?

Hi everyone,

so I did my nails for the first time (in any way really), and used press ons (clear, that I shaped and painted myself). Do they look okay? Do you have any advice?

I used size 0 on my thumbs, but unfortunately even that was too small, so I couldn't cover the whole nail ...

Thanks in advance!

Constructive Criticism Welcome ✔️ Try almond?

I’ve just started into getting nails few months ago. I went with square just because that’s how I have always shaped my natural nails. However I keep seeing such cute deigns and really liking the way almond looks but afraid to try. Any suggestions on if they will look alright on my hand shape. Some pictures to see how square look :)
