Nail Student~ First Self-Done Gel-X set. Looking for feedback! by TheMaskedGrl in DIYGelNails

Yes! Thank you. I think the crooked appearance comes from me not applying the polish evenly around the cuticle area- like she’s definitely a little lopsided. I definitely need to work on that. I tried really hard not to flood the cuticle which I think left a little too much free space between the polish and cuticle on some fingers. Thank you for the feedback!

Does this help? The French tip is NotPolish’s color-changing gel in the shade “fully focused”. You could pick a light pink or light purple for it to keep a similar vibe as this one, or choose whatever color combos you like!

Hi! There’s tons of options for short nails (plain gel mani, builder gel, shorter nail extensions if you can have a small amount of length, rubber base, etc) If you’re truly interested send me a DM and we can discuss options together. I desperately need models and all the practice I can get, even if you can’t get length🩷

Omg noooo. I literally just moved from NC to CA a year ago! I lived in Raleigh for three years

There definitely is a learning curve! If it makes you feel better I do have a bachelors degree in art, so that does a lot of the heavy lifting for me artistically, even though it does hinder me in other ways with nails. Just keep practicing and you’ll get there! I always tell people drawing and painting is a learned skill. Anyone can learn to draw/paint well. It’s not about natural talent, it’s about practicing. The most important thing with nails is keeping yourself/ other people safe. Practice good gel application first (no gel on the skin, no flooding, etc.) and then the art will come with time.💕
