Life is better now that my cuticles aren’t in the way! Plus it’s a relaxing self care activity that’s absorbing enough but not that deep.
I got mine from Amazon for like $10 but I won’t link it bc idk if that’s even a good one lol
It’s all about the details<3

i love doing my nails at home. so much so, i taught myself how to cut my cuticles, file my ridges, and found a good non-toxic no-chip polish to do the trick. there‘s something so relaxing about freshening my hands up on a cold Sunday afternoon.

I get these nail powder dip kits online and I swear they have saved my fingers and they make my nails pretty. I have whatever anxious condition it is where I pick my cuticles until they bleed, I can’t stop. I’ve been doing it since I was a child. I don’t know why I do it and I wish I didn’t. And I hate going to nail salons because I’m usually so ashamed of my grotesque picked at fingers. ENTER these dip kits. They’re cheap and fairly easy to use (after a couple of YouTube video tutorials) and they last for about two weeks. They make my nails look like I had them done professionally and the dip and top coat make my nails too thick and round to pick at my skin, like I can’t get any leverage to pick while having the dip on my nails. You should see my hands right now, they look completely normal, I can point at things without shame and squeeze lemons without feeling a massive amount of pain! This kit has changed my life, all for about $40 which covers probably 20 manicures.

I’ve been doing my own nails for over a year now and I love it! I started off with the same colors I used to get all the time at the salon and once I got the hang of it branched out. Now that I’ve been doing it long enough I’m buying a nicer drill, light, storage, and more gels. I also just started swatching some colors today like my own little nail salon lol.
I’ve saved SO much money doing this, the thought of how much I spent in just a year on nails before is crazy now. With how cheap doing my own nails has become I’ve also been more comfortable trying new colors all the time now that it’s not so expensive if I end up hating a color lol. My nails also last SO much longer. I can basically go 3 weeks with no chips most of the time (unless I want to change the color sooner) and I work with my hands a lot and do a lot of cooking and dishes. The only worry there is the grow out lol.
Just make sure you get a light that plugs into the wall and ensure it’s strong enough to cure gel, always clean gel up off of you if you get it on yourself (allergies don’t happen instantaneously like tik tok will have you believe, but they can develop over time with overexposure), and practice makes perfect!
