Whats On Your Nails???

[princessniknox]

Just been doing a search and can`t find anything (doesn`t mean its not there though!!) that answers the following question.

my question to you all is :- :Look_left




AS NAIL TECHS, WHAT DO YOU HAVE ON YOUR NAILS? AND DO YOU DO YOUR OWN???

• Natural Nail Overlays?
• Natural Tips and Overlays?
• French Tips and Overlays?
• Sculps?
• Nothing?
• Anything else (not mentioned)?

I`d be very interested to find out :biggrin: thanks xx

I always have natural tips and overlays on my nails....
I never seem to manage to get my own nails to the length I want and then just have an overlay on them......:sad:
At the moment my overlay is perfect white in zone 1 and a custom blend to complement my skin tone in zones 2 & 3......:Love:
Plus I always feel that as a nail technician I should be showing off my skills on myself...after all I am my own best advert.....:biggrin:

I have very thin nails and they will tear if they get too long. Right now i have sculpts on.....every finger is a different colored acrylic. I like to show my clients what i have to offer. Next week...i will take them off again and do somthing else!

 

[Sassy Hassy]

I have nothing on except my thumb because it splits the whole way down and is really painful - I have a gel tip and overlay on that one (and a biosculpture demo nail in my pinkie that is happily growing out.

I have quite nice natural nails, and since I do a lot of nail biters it is proof that with the right support you CAN give up. :biggrin:

 

[holliejayne]

I dont have anything on mine, I like them natural, they're reasonably long, but short enough to not get in the way when im working x x

 

[MINKUS]

I have backscratchers tip n dips on (little cheater) but quick and easy for me to maintain so thats my excuse and BOY are they strong.

THis week, i fancied a change, and needed and infill so after buffing the above nice and thin....they are now overlayed with yummy bio sculpture over them in sweet toffee, had LOADS of comments on what a gorge colour it is !!

As a rule i normally do them myself or get angie aka nailstyle(einstien geek) to do them - Penny aka funkyfingers did them this time as she wanted a play with the bio.

Anyway....thats me sold on colours for the winter now - and hopefully i can get my clients off BORING FRENCH !!

I wore french glitter tips in the summer- a la diamonds in the rough from nail graphics - nightmare everyone wanted them !!!

i have always done my own that was the best way to learn for me, people
always say how do you do it but i tell them its the best way to learn although they are not perfect but experience always helps! i love doing my own nails and sometimes helps when trying to promote yourself.

 

[twinkletoes910]

I am such a slacker!! I had a loooong and very rough weekend (atleast on my nails), so sunday night I soaked them off, with all intentions of putting on a full set. well THAT didn't happen! I fell asleep with the foil still on:lol: and I have yet to reapply anything.

So I fall in the "natural ugly stumps" category

 

[VHunter]

I do my own nails.
I use UV Gels.
Sometimes I do french tips, sometimes 'american' (beige/natural) tips...
More often than not, I have some kind of art on my nails and usually have nail jewellery on. (at the very least, a hoop).

I am NEVER without nails :lol:

A friend techy of mine came by last night, to get gels as she hates doing her own nails. I'm thinking of letting her put acrylics on me , just to see how I like them and to see how they're done. We may end up trading services so we dont have to do our own nails anymore LOL
Although, mine always look great. I never have problems doing my own.
But it does take way longer to do my own as opposed to someone else's.

 

[Pirate Sarah]

i wear mine natural and long with ever changing nail art!

 

[*JOANNE*]

i have ezflow green room tips and L&P...i allways have to have tips and overlays cause i am a terrible biter. on top of those at the moment though i have creatives nail noir with gold and silver strokes on them i get very bored very quickly, so am allways fannying around with them
oh i do my own

 

[Urban Geek]

I have nice natural nails. They are quite short at the moment and I currently have a French polish on them - Cream Puff and Beau finished off with a coat of Super Shiney from Creative.

 

[ZOE!]

I always do my own, but i cant rebalance them! so i am always changing mine every other week. Normally french or glitter or some nail stickers. But since breaking one and tearing my natural nail from its bed, i now have a natarul overlay until they all get back into condition.

 

[naturalnails]

I normally have some form of enhancement on but recently I took my nails off and now have reasonable length natural nails.

This has been a real talking point with my clients as they can tell their doubting friends that "acrylic nails don't wreck their own nails".

I may put glitters on nearer Christmas to get my clients interested in having glitters - not decided yet.

 

[Hannah1984]

Mine are natural at the moment as still training and dont have the full strenght primer or tip glue to use on humans, only the lovely nail trainer hand!

 

[Naughtynails]

I have one hand in french heart cut outs and and the other hand dramatic french tips
I don't wear nails often I go through fazes. ​

 

[tamimac]

Candy pink tips witth l&p. cute

 

[S6CAF]

Currently I have natural tips with clear L&P overlay. I do them myself and I'm forever changing them. Sometimes I do shortish square UV gel, but at the moment they're quite long and pointy. Depends on what mood I'm in and what new products I find because I always try them on myself first!! If they last on me, they'll last on anyone!!

As for nail colour/nail art, I keep mine quite simple. At the moment I've got a very dark brown nail varnish (Fab for winter!) with a simple gold 'sparkle dust' design.

 

[scattyfox]

Nothing at all apart froma 3d design on one finger nail , i rarely do mine own nails, normally one of the other essex geeks does my nails for me good excuse for a girly gossip then lol

I've got dark red biosculpture gel on my natural nails. They are about an inch long. I have to trim them soon!
I'm not a french manicure girl at all. I love colour.....
Yep I do my own nails. Takes me hours as I have a wonder around in between doing them!
