• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

Do you do your nails/get them done?

I just trim them but I don't get them done. They are just regular nails!
 
My friend is trying to get a job as a nail tech, so I’m her practice dummy sometimes (which I don’t mind at all, haha)

My nails are super brittle so I always have to have some kind of polish on them or they break really easily.
 
i’ve never gone to a professional nail salon but i’ve tried to do them myself and it always ends up looking AWFUL.

the only time that my efforts ended up looking good is when i went through a phase of painting them black lol but at the time i wasn’t trying to make it look super neat.

i’ve tried press on nails before but i hated how they feel, maybe its because i bought really cheap ones? they were very long and i wear contacts so they weren’t a good idea to begin with. i want to try to grow my natural nails out again but they always split or get soft.
 
i paint my own nails on occasion, especially if it's for something nice, but it's not something i regularly keep up. i've been considering starting to get them done regularly so they look nicer, but i play rugby at uni so i can never really have longer nails during term time... maybe as a graduation present to myself
 
I do sometimes paint my nails, I have one polish that is a really pretty colour and so sparkly! but I don't like the feeling of having nail polish on, especially when it starts to come off and half of it doesn't want to budge. I usually don't bother with it.

I'd love to get a manicure someday, but I could never have long/acrylic nails, it'd drive me crazy haha.
 
I paint my nails, very rarely, i go through a mood from time to time when i wanna do something fun and ive done some pattern nails, they usually look a bit…rough, but kinda cute and then i wear them until theyre almost completely chipped off. I just kindof get annoyed with the feeling of the wet/drying nail polish and i often end up messing it up smudging it everytime no matter how careful i am 😔 so it takes a lot of energy out of me

I have not tried fake/acrylic nails, i would like to try one day cuz i think they look really cool! But living with mostly natural nails my whole life i fear theyd be uncomfortable
 
no. I work with my hands a lot and having dainty nails sounds impractical and stressful. I might try press on nails sometime though.
 
I just keep mine trimmed >.> i don't like the feeling of long nails or having paint or decorations on my nails. But I do trim them myself.
 
Nope. I never liked the sensation of nail polish on my nails.

Plus, in my profession, I can't get my nails done as I work as a manual therapist that treats people. Not sure people would like it if I dug my nails into their back if I had to work on the area
 
i used to paint my nails with the basic nail polish, but i’d get so annoyed when they got ruined so easily that i gave up on color polish. if i do them myself i either put on a clear coat or the glitter ones since they dry super quick. my friend has a gel kit with the uv light so i left her do mine sometimes. i would like to try out acrylics from a salon though
 
I've gotten my nails done once before and I used to paint my nails and try to do gradients. But I don't really want to spend the time and effort now so I just trim them
 
I've only gone to a salon once in my life. And I've never used the fake nails before. A few years ago I went through a phase where I started painting my nails for the first time in my life. I think the trip to the salon is what inspired me. I'd paint them and put on a matte coat, and sometimes I would use those nail wrap things. But then after I moved I didn't paint them for about 2 years, until fairly recently. Currently sporting the peeling nail polish look.. Maybe I should make more of an effort to start painting them again. Because I do somewhat enjoy it even tho I'm not the greatest at it and I like how it makes me feel afterwards c:
 
i do my own nails approx every 3 weeks, helps me feel a lil bit nice sometimes

tbh i have too much nail polish, gel polish, poly gel, gel stickers, all the wraps tools and lights...... but i'd rather that then going out to salon after a bad experience WHERE MY NAILBEDS H U R T never again i'll stay at home w yt on or a movie
 
i usually get my nails done if it's a special occasion or if I am going on holiday, love the huge range of colours I usually come across and how creative people can be with them but never do them myself cause I often find my hand shakes if I do my own and then it just becomes a mess
