Pokémon nails for Laura! Middle school Megan is so happy that adult Megan does stuff like this for living ❤️

Unpopular opinion: black IS a summer color 🖤

Stunned with how the sheen this chrome is giving off! Tay booked a tier 2 mani and told me to do whatever so of course I gave her my two faves- pigments and chrome 🤤✨

Happy Bridgerton season 3 part 2 release day! Here’s some Bridgerton inspired nails done on the bestie 💙

I’m a sucker for blue 💙 *insert sucker by the Jonas brothers here*

Laura told me she needed glow in the dark nails for her school’s glow night so I got to bust out some neons! Also spider gel is soooo fun to use 🤤

Summer vibes are officially in!! Sorry, I don’t make the rules 🤷‍♀️

What do you usually ask for when you see your nail tech?

Finally getting around to posting the nails I thought about for weeks until I did them!! These were so fun to do but definitely a learning curve for sure. Basically nail besties, if you have a gut feeling don’t ignore it. I did some of the 3D details with a silver chrome art gel which is a bit thicker and I was worried it might not cure all the way but did it anyways. It didn’t implode on itself and it was cured hard to the touch but of course within a few minutes any actual pressure caused the details to pop like a pimple 😪 gel allergy city!!! If I would have just listened to my gut it would have saved me ton of time instead of having to go back and redo everything. Clear 3D then paint it! Also, leaving pigment powder on the skin too long will stain it learned that too. 🤣 overall, I’m still super proud of these nails okay they are cool af (y2k goth nails of my dreams) and so thankful for who will let me do nails like this on her and then sit there while I almost completely redo them 🫠❤️

The color scheme! The textures! The vibes! I can’t get enough of mix n match sets 🫶

When bestie wants her nails done, she gets her nails done 😌

Aura nails for my ✨apprentice✨ who is doing amazing btw!!!
Also, I’m in love with my pressed pigment powders! This was only one coat! And over such a dark color! I can’t wait to use these more they are so fun ❤️
