Do you do your nails/get them done?

[Sheando]

I’ve actually never painted my nails or had them done in any way. Not my style, and also I have some sensory issues with my nails so I trim them every 2-3 days. If they have more than a tiny sliver of visible white, I find it so distracting when I touch things.

I just trim them if they get too long

 

[BungoTheElf]

I don't do my nails or get them done, but I do grow them out pretty long and my nails are pretty strong compared to most people's. I usually start to cut them once they start chipping and breaking!

 

[seliph]

i'd love to get them done but i don't have the money to be doing that

 

[KittenNoir]

I do my own nails I’m awkward at the nail places as I don’t really know what I want to ask for.

I just do them myself now I have a whole kit of different colours, glitters and decorations for nails

Since buying that all in bulk and doing them myself it’s so much cheaper.

I paint my own, I don't want to spend money on nails. I also have no interest in fake nails, as I'm happy with normal paint, they look like a pain to take off, and I feel like they'd get in the way of some things like playing instruments, etc.

i don’t get them done often, but i do enjoy the look of manicured nails! i’m lucky to be able to go and get them done whenever; i am just lazy… but my parents are both nail techs so i haven’t ever had to pay to get my nails done

I actually don’t really like to get my nails done, so I don’t get them done often. Only for special occasions, & maybe for my birthday or for a vacation, so maybe only once or twice a year.

 

[Midoriya]

I used to go to a place for my nails and toenails, but I usually just trim them on my own now. I'm a lot more comfortable trimming them myself, not to mention I usually get them to be super short!

I like nail art on other people, but I'm not a huge fan of how painted nails look on me, so it's very rare for me to do them or get them done anywhere. The exception would be clear nail polish; it's very subtle of course but I do really like the shininess of it as well as it being a little bit protective. I should get some more sometime soon.

My nails are a mess at the moment but I file them to keep newt and try and occasionally paint them with clear polish. If I ever get them to look nice I would use a colour polish but that seems unlikely atm. I do admire people with nice manicures.

 

[Cirice]

I wish I could get my nails done professionally. It looks very good and is something I'd like to keep money aside for once I have more disposable income, at least for a few times. I sometimes paint my nails at home but most of the time I keep them bare because chipped nail polish gets on my nerves very easily.

 

[Snowesque]

For about a year I'd get a gel design/fill/set once a month. I got tired of the place for multiple reasons so I just decided to do it myself now. I buy custom press-on gel sets from various stores like Etsy. They're re-usable and with the glue I use, I may go a week without needed to touch it up. I do intense work with my hands everyday so that's pretty impressive. Learning how to cuticle prep and so on in addition has been helpful.

 

[Dunquixote]

Nope. I used to paint my nails when I was a kid, but that was very briefly. I’m really not interested in painting them having anything done to them.

I did paint my nails when I was younger and I had Care Bear Nail tattoos. However, within a few hours, I got the nail polish remover out and decided to remove it as I didn't like it. I hate the way painted nails look whenever it starts to chip. I did like the Care Bear tattoos on my nails! Thinking of it, I still should have some left, maybe I'll put one on later, if I can find them! I hate my nails being long, so I always try to keep them short by clipping them or filing them each day.

 

[Airysuit]

No! I kinda wanna start doing it tho, i love a good set of nails. I always had jobs where i wasn't allowed nail polish so I kinda forgot about doing my nails for 10+ years. But i have a different job and earn good money, so maybe this is my time..

 

[JellyLu]

I mostly do my own nails I own so much nail polish, it's insane. I love to do my own nail art too! My favorite polish are the glitter ones, especially by the brand Cupcake Polish (because it literally has full coverage in 1 or 2 coats and doesn't feel rough). When I'm lazy, I'll do the nail polish stickers. My cousin also does her own nails but with dip powder. When she's not busy and we have time she'll dip my nails for me.

My mom occasionally would take me to the nail salon and it was nice. Since she passed it's just too painful to return... but hey it just means more time to sharpen my nail skills :")

 

[skarmoury]

i get my nails done for special occasions! this year i had my nails painted for my grad shoot, then tried nail extensions for the first time during graduation proper. while nail extensions were fun, i didn't really like my nails once they removed them so maybe i will stay away from nail extensions for now.
the nail artists i pick are the ones who can do intricate nail art since i have a pinterest board of nail designs!

 

[digimon]

i’ve never been to a salon to get my nails done o: i usually keep my nails short and unpainted but i do love painting them myself. i don’t as often as i like because i find it chips so easily even though i’m applying a top coat. i have a few sets of press ons but i’ve never used them cause the length feels kinda long. the designs on them are really pretty so i feel like i’d ruin it by filing them down ;u;

 

[Darcy94x]

Most I’ve ever had done is have them painted.. I want acrylics but I think I’d struggle with doing day to day things so never bothered!
