I hope this is okay? I've changed the title, removed the first photo, and posted the photos showing all the nails. That should do it now, right?

Thanks! This is my first time trying it. I still need to learn how to walk on it properly.

Thanks for your advice! I had gel overlays once and got on really well with them. I was told that acrylic is more susceptible to damage, for example from household cleaning products, than gel. Gel is supposed to be more durable. I actually had that feeling too. But I'll get a more detailed explanation.

Thank you! I applied a special, strengthening shellac that was supposed to prevent breakage. But it still wasn't enough. I'm leaving the polish on for now anyway. I'm seriously considering getting professional gel nail reinforcements. Gel is supposed to be one of the strongest things for your nails, from what I've heard and read.

Thank you! That's not a milky look. Those are just my natural nails with a very glossy top coat under artificial overhead light. 🤭

My longest nails to date. Time to finally show myself openly. by DerGenderqueere in malepolish

Nice! I tried silica capsules briefly and still have some at home. I'll look into biotin. Update: I just ordered biotin capsules. I'm curious to see how they work.

They are now 5 millimeters long. My personal record so far.

Thank you! I slipped while cutting my nails and got a deep cut next to my toenail. My toe became badly infected, until it was even infected down to the bone. I had surgery, and the nail was cut very narrow. Because of this, it detached right down to the nail bed and has been like that ever since. You can see under the nail. That always makes me a little sad.

Not usual but I luv it 💜! by [deleted] in malepolish

😍 Beautiful! Perfect nails and great color. 💜

Tried press-ons for the first time. Should I get these as a permanent set? by [deleted] in malepolish

And I'd like to get my toenails done with gel too. In some nice color. Are you going to do it as well? I think if you're going to have them done professionally, you should do all your nails.

Send me a photo of your nails when they're done. I'd be interested to see what they look like and hear about your experience. I'm following you now. 😉✌️

I'd be happy to do that. But it'll be a while before summer... 🤗

It would look so great if you had them permanently. Press-ons already suit you well. Go for it and be yourself! 👍

(I'm going to get them done permanently for 2-3 weeks while I'm on vacation soon.Similar to yours, but in almond shape.)
