I started wearing nails more professionally than my boyfriend when I was about 22. I hate much of what comes out of my mouth, but I love my nails. Being too fearless with the design they form, I can’t remember the last time I had a more perfect nail.
I realized, while writing this article, that I probably look a bit odd when my nails are super-nails, especially when I’m wearing some of my trendy guy’s designs. I’ve dedicated a lot of my time to my nails because, despite so many things I’m doing right, I often get out there and do everything wrong. I do what people tell me to do because I don’t really have the patience to pick apart how beauty products work or how to achieve the best color. When it comes to nails, however, I’m totally on my own, my own experiment.

Websites for this
The Tattler: This is the site I trust because it stocks all types of nails treatments for your different manicures. You can find everything from colors to products to nail polishes. A great deal, it doesn’t have the name by the URL, but it’s got a pretty strong YouTube channel and great reviewer reviews.
Oiky Designs: This is an occasional resource, where, while I highly recommend perusing the Instagram page, I almost always give the recommendation that you use the Oiky YouTube videos for a tutorial.
You Can Have Better Nails with a Touch of Gloss
This one is just because I want to give you something fun to try! For dark nail hues, I find it easier to smooth out a polish. It works best in darker ombre, black or brown. I’d rather get my nail shine and polish job done with a touch of white than nothing. One of my go-to beauty products is Kryolan Glossing Body Lotion ($9), but there are loads of other brands that’ll give you similar results.
