sns Nails Praise!

I rarely get my nails done.
In fact, I can list when I got my last 3 manicures:
June 2019
January 2019
May 2012 (yes 2012)

So my gel manicure in January didn't last the full week of my Disney World vacation.

My engagement photos were supposed to happen last week, but got postponed due to the midwest having monsoon season.
I was SUPER worried about my nails. But here we are 10 days later and the color looks great!
I've worked, done a lot of messy things, moved a few carloads into the house, put together furniture, etc.
So I just am super shocked at how good they still look!
And I'm a bit of a nail biter, and I haven't bit them either! I may try to budget one of these in every 3 months between now and the wedding!

I noticed how great they still looked yesterday, but didnt want to jinx it before pictures!

    It is. I wasnt overly impressed during the process, but the past 1.5 weeks I sure have been.

    I've been getting that too and I really liked it! The gel usually peels up close to my cuticles because I have "oily nails" according to the nail salon haha. The powder seems like it takes forever to put on though. I really do not enjoy sitting there honestly.

    They look so great Mandi!! They've held up amazingly!

    Are you going to start thinking about what you will get done of your nails for your wedding day soon? Smiley laugh

    Thanks! I probably should... but I'm impulsive and may just wait.
    I may choose to do this a few more times before the wedding, so I'll have a while to think about it.

    Yeah, great idea!! You have plenty of time to figure out what you want them to look like! Do you think you would go for something nude and natural or a pop of color? 🧡💛💙💚💜

    SNS is great for your nails in comparison to acrylic. I get my nails done regularly and used to get SNS but found they got damaged a lot quicker than gel, so I went back to gel. But your nails look cute!

    Interesting. Maybe it really does just depend on body makeup. I went 2 weeks without chipping and was pleasantly surprised! Thanks!

    I have no idea what I'm going to do. But I'm not much for nude nails. Probably colorful. But I dont know what color just yet! I have 4 way different color bridesmaid dresses. So maybe a purple to match my MOH dress. Or a cobalt? Thinking about cobalt suits. Ahhhhhh so much to think about!

    You have so many options but still so much time to figure it out! Don't let it worry you! You can definitely try out a few trial runs of different colors to find what your favorite is!! 😍
