The Design My Nail Tech Came Up With When I Asked For Something Psychedelic
M. 2 years ago
This is gonna sound so self-righteous but the tech might not be female-identifying. So maybe use they/them pronouns instead? I'm sorry, that probably sounded so stuck up.

Adding the gels or press ons, shaping, drying time between coats. Cleaning up any mistakes. It's amazing how long lots of simple seeming things take.

Alice In Wonderland Nail Art On My Natural Nails

I zoomed in, they are definitely NOT natural nails.

Why does it matter if they aren't her real nails? There is no need to be snotty with comments. If they are on her hands they are real nails does it matter if they are tips or acrylic or silk. They look really cool!
Gina Petolicchio 2 years ago (edited)
Those are definitely not natural nails you can tell they are tips or full fake nails you can see them grown in at the bottom but some people do actually have long natural nails
beardedlizard 2 years ago
Couldn't they just be filed tho? They look kinda natural to me
