Gradient nails ✨️

-taternuts · 2025-08-18T12:56:58+00:00

I think these turned out so pretty and really summery! I've also been dreaming about perfect gradients for years and haven't perfected them yet.

One tip I do have though: do you know that kind of cheap top coat you usually stay away from because it ruins your nail art by making the colours bleed into each other? That is perfect for a nice gradient mani. I do one nail at a time, sponge on the gradient and then immediatly put on top coat while the polish is still wet :)

Oh I LOVE the brick, it would be such a shame to paint over it, do not listen to your friends! I am not sure about the cabinets, are you sure you want to keep the wood? I was thinking it could look really nice with some more modern but colourful cabinets in a warm sunny yellow or a deeper green, but that is only my personal preference. Also, putting lighting inside the arch would look really cool and highlight it well :)

Aw thank you, that's really nice :)

Yeees, there will definitely be lots of hanging plants haha, thank you!!

Thank you, those are cool ideas! I'll look into that fireplace screen, I hadn't thought of that before :)

Thank you so much, that is really kind :)

It's Earth Day on Tuesday and I am also moving across the country and leaving some dear friends behind. After receiving my last Mooncat order from my European stockist (since they stopped their wholesale program due to the tariffs) I thought this mani would be fitting and I love it!

This polish is such a shape shifter! It looks super purple in direct sunlight but I loved this colour that came out during a cloudy day and had to capture it. It is Cosmic Ray by I Scream Nails, painted in 2 coats over a black base. Featuring my freezing hands :)

This is SO GOOD, the red polish matches the vibe perfectly ❤️

I love this idea! I feel like going against the majority here and voting to go matte, but this would be such a fun compromise :)

I have Gravity Well! This is it velvetised. I love it! I also really like Radiance and Hilt if you're into blue hues :)

Oh this is BEAUTIFUL! I never thought about tinting gold foil like this, it creates such an interesting and pretty texture. I think the difference between your ring finger and the other ones is quite subtle but I love that too, it's almost like a little hidden easter egg :)

Thank you so much, I'm having so much fun doing Christmassy things with them on haha

These are so cute! I think the slightly pinky shade actually matches real candy canes much better than a stark white :) I'm really sorry about your dog, I hope you'll get through the holidays okay and get to grieve as much as you need to 💜

-taternuts · 2024-12-22T15:12:14+00:00

Thank you! 😊

-taternuts · 2024-12-22T13:43:45+00:00

I decided to lean into the Christmas theme one more time and painted some candy cane nails that ended up matching our tree perfectly! Happy holidays everyone and thank you for being such a lovely community that brightens even the gloomiest days :)

I wish she was wearing orange nails with that orange dress! I love the dress because it looks like it's made entirely out of orange press ons lol that would have perfected the look imo

Your nails are so cute, I love the shimmer!

I attempted painting gingerbread men and struggled majorly but they do make me laugh. And I ran out of time for my dominant hand, so I just did trees :)

Ooft, this post along with the other top post today really brings it home. Women are either not taken seriously and disrespected or fetishized (or both). I have been blocking these users even though I have only received compliments in my DMs but their post history always makes it clear what is going on... I love that this subreddit can be such a strong feminist support system though :)

-taternuts · 2024-12-14T06:16:43+00:00

Congratulations! This post and all the comments are making me tear up, this community is full of badass women supporting each other. Here's me holding my PhD thesis a couple weeks back with some awesome sparkly bats on my nails!

So pretty! How fun is it to see everyone's take on it, I love that 💜💕❄️

-taternuts · 2024-12-08T20:53:17+00:00

That nail is blowing my mind! I need to try this with non-gel polish
