Perfectly Nailed

5 easy tricks for picking a nail color:

Match your mood, not just your outfit
If you’re feeling bold, go red.
Feeling soft and clean? Milky pink.
Tired of life? Black nails fix at least 12% of the problem.

Use the “hold my coffee” test
Imagine the color wrapped around an iced coffee, steering wheel, or phone case. If it looks cute there, it’ll probably look cute everywhere.

Pick by season — but don’t obey it
Spring pastels, summer neons, fall browns, winter deep tones…
or completely ignore the rules and wear neon green in a snowstorm for emotional support.

Choose based on maintenance level
*Nudes and sheer shades hide grow-out better.
*Chrome, black, and bright colors announce every tiny chip like breaking news.

When in doubt: copy something expensive-looking
Designer bags, luxury cars, marble countertops, espresso martinis, glazed donuts. Rich-looking things usually translate into elite nail colors.

It’s forever f**ksha now. 💅

I hear these horror stories & just can’t comprehend WHY nail techs do these things 🤦🏼‍♀️

🛑STOP IT RIGHT NOW!

Applying lotion, oils, or heavy creams before a gel manicure is discouraged because it creates a greasy barrier on the nail plate that prevents the gel from properly adhering. This residue results in poor adhesion, which can lead to premature lifting, peeling, or chipping, often within days of the service.
