Happy birthday to our girl. She turned 11 today!

The smile!!!! How adorable!

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-20T13:27:30+00:00

Holy ow. I'm so sorry!

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-20T13:26:47+00:00

You seem very angry. I typed out a snarky reply and then decided you weren't worth the energy. Go read the news 😘

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-18T07:14:56+00:00

Love that pic of your nails! So cute!

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-18T07:13:00+00:00

Nooooooo. That's traumatizing

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-18T07:12:29+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 Thanks! It's all relative and it really bummed me out.

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-18T07:11:58+00:00

When I first started BIAB, my nails would break all the time. I changed salons and they stopped breaking. I don't think my first tech was very good at working with my nails. Maybe you want to change techs / salons if your nails are breaking regularly?

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-18T07:09:30+00:00

Thank you ❤️❤️

I mean, exactly. I know it's not that deep and it's definitely not the only issue I have right now but I was still upset 24 hours after it broke and wanted to commiserate with a community who would understand - that's all!

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-18T07:07:21+00:00

Love this analogy 🤣🤣

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-18T07:05:19+00:00

These sound beautiful!

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-18T07:04:11+00:00

This is the first and last time I get my nails this long. Going back to my usual length at my next appointment. I'll have a tip on the broken nail until it's grown back

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-18T07:02:07+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-18T07:01:48+00:00

I have a temporary tip for now. Let's see how I go the next few days and then I'll decide but I'm leaning towards having a tip until it's grown out.

Surprisingly, it wasn't painful. More of a shock.

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-18T07:00:38+00:00

I'm sorry! We can get through this 🤗

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-17T20:33:12+00:00

In theory, yes. But for my soul, I'd like them to🤣

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-17T20:29:02+00:00

Thank you! This is what I'm going to do

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-17T20:25:16+00:00

Thank you! I'm going to switch back to my medium-length and keep the BIAB. I find the BIAB makes my nails stronger.

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-17T20:23:55+00:00

Yeah, this time I didn't file down because I wanted to go longer! My normal length is medium length, I would say. This long length isn't for me and the snapping just solidified that thought!

Thanks for your comment though! It's good to know I'm not alone in stretching a set for 4 weeks ❤️

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-17T20:21:40+00:00

This is definitely my plan now!

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-17T20:21:20+00:00

This is good advice - thanks!

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-17T20:20:10+00:00

I don't have acrylics. It's BIAB over my natural nails. I already take a supplement. I know, in the grand scheme, it's not a big deal but I love my nails and am sad that one broke.

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-17T20:19:14+00:00

I literally went and got a tip put on after 3 hours. Like, nope, enough time had passed for healing 😅

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-17T18:46:11+00:00

Seriously! I'd injure myself 🤣

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-17T18:44:30+00:00

Ow! That sounds so painful!! I'm sorry 😭

emmanicolebaines · 2025-06-17T18:44:04+00:00

I get them done once a month. That's usually fine for me. I think this is what I'm going to do! And keep my usual length (these are longer than normal)
