Goodbye watermelon 🍉 hello? WIP

Whimsical wisteria, 💚 + 💜 = 🚫🍇

Did my beautiful nieces nails again, actually 2x! I forgot to post the last set.
we were rushed and we barely took pics. I hadn't done her 3d on the set before and her skin suffered from anxious picking 🥹 the 3d is so great for soothing nerves in a healthy, non damaging way. ❤️
I was scared to do to much. I prioritize her safety as im not a professional and didn't want to hurt her, so I left a lot of cuticle on. We got the 3d back on with the sun and moon set, and a month later, her skin is gorgeous and healthy again 🫶

I will definitely incorporate at least one textured nail per hand and prioritize that no matter what. I'm so proud of her hard work and dedication too. To moisturizing, trimming hang nail vs biting, not picking herself and rubbing the nails instead, and keeping her new growth pushed back and tidy 🙌

Also, she has patience of a saint 🙏 👌🫶

My nieces bestie wanted black with bats for her birthday, these are all her natural nails, no tips extensions or rebuilt areas, they're not 100%perfect as she had a couple side wall breaks before she got to me but they're so beautiful!! We did a very thin overlay of rubber base but didn't build an apex as her nails have a beautiful natural structure already. I forgot to get flash pics, these have flash reflective black glitter ✨️ 🖤 are absolutely stunning 😍 I'm so glad she loved them and left happy 😊

Finally!!!! Did my own dang nails 💅 😆 idk how I feel about them. It took me 2 days 😪
Happy to be finished ✅️

1st off! A moment to appreciate the lack of lifting and neat grow out, for a diy girlie. My covid passion ❤️ 💅

Obviously, I do my own nails, but I have been lazy,

Now im 6 weeks into this set. I had to file it down multiple times. I lost a nail a few days ago, and I have mani block.

I'm thinking of cutting them off since I broke one and am tired of all the balance work as they grow all crooked and wild, and just doing a gelx set and regrow them fresh.
I just really don't know what I want to put on them

My Gor-gina niece 😍new hair and new nails, who even is she? 😄
Canni rubber base giving great grow out and retention from her last set, filed down for the fill like a dream and applies very easily. She's having an excema outbreak from vacation to the 💧 waterpark and chlorinating her sensitive skin.

We used Diplomatiq Nails cbd infused cuticle oil before starting and after the service, she was cracked, dry, and actively hurting. She said it immediately relieved her pain. It softened and hydrated the cracked areas while also relieving the inflammation, redness, and pain 🥲

Did my friends nails again for her beach vacation, coulda washed the blue pigment powder off better before the pics but w/e 😆 , we were tired, and had other stuff to do😊 she got me with the awkward hand poses for funny pics.
They look pretty, bright, and on brand for her

Finally got myself together and realized after topcoat that I had forgotten to add the white water squiggly lines on the whole right hand 🤦‍♀️ Smh so, one is a little off, and my color theory is non existent, I need art classes fr 😂🫠
Its about 10% what I imagined in my brain 🧠 the index finger is exactly how I imagined my attempt would look like vs the inspiration design and I'm cool with that. The rest!! Sigh 😕 send help b4 I crash out
