Okay so, if you know me, you know I try to keep my nails looking fresh all through the week. I don't go to a salon because I feel like I can do it myself and save the money. (I'm fucking savvy, you know?)
There's just something about having a pretty manicure that makes me feel warm & happy inside. It's like ooooh, girl, get it.
I've been seeing a lot of new nail trends lately on social media outlets. I love that, because I can easily find new inspiration when I want something new. Not sure if anyone really follows celeb gossip anymore, but Kim Kardashian West is trying to sport a new mani "trend" and it makes me want to chop her hands off.
OMG. She's piercing her nails with chains and hoops and shit. How do you grab anything? Can you even use your fingers/hands at all? I'm not a fan.
I did however, buy into the "claw" shaped nail trend. I've been seeing so many photos and thought I'd give them a go. They're just different and kinda grew on me.
The super long ones freak me out, though. They looks like weapons and I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with giving myself that kind of power.
DANGEROUS
My nails are longer so I shaped and filed them like the ones below.
The outcome? I really love them.
At first, I made the points a bit too sharp and kept stabbing my face. So I filed them just a little to take off that super prominent point.
I feel like my nails are saying, "Don't fuck with me." & I love that. Lol.
Do you keep up with your manicure? Or nail trends? Tell me about them!

You are so funny! I use my nails as tools, not weapons. I am peeling paint off of furniture. I have even destressed picture frames with them because I was too lazy to get up and find a proper tool. Do you think any kind of manicure would last long on my nails. Btw, the last time I had a proper mani was when I got married.
ReplyDeleteI've never had a real manicure, but before my babes, (my oldest is almost 4) (holy shit) I used to keep them painted and nice. I still try to keep them longer and decent looking, but honestly my whole hands are going to shit because I wash them so damn much. *sigh* maybe some day. You're hilarious though!
ReplyDeleteI used to bite my bails for years and years bit over the last two years I've somehow managed to leave them alone. Only problem is mine get to a length that I start to really love and then they start breaking right at my finger tip. It's so annoying. I love the stiletto shape but I can never manage to grow mine long enough to get the shape. I'm thinking about acrylic overlay bit I just cant make my mind up. Not only is it pretty pricy bit I'm worrying get about ruining my natural nails even more than they already are. I may treat myself when my youngest starts re-school. Yours look lovely and I was even more impressed when I read that you did them yourself.

You already know how I feel about keeping my nail game strong. I hate Kim's chain nails. They're gross, I don't care who you are. I like a little bit of a kitty cat claw, but there's such thing as too much.
ReplyDeleteYou make me LOL on the reg, lil Mama.

Those kimmy nails are just way to hard to work with! I love having my nails done and often go for the claw look, the first time I had them I was scratching myself constantly (not great for toilet time) and my children looked like they had adopted a feral cat but now when I go me and the guy who does them have an understanding and I get just the right shape. I think they look great in black, white or grey but I am a massive monochrome lover! #stayclassymama
ReplyDeleteBahaha at looking like they adopted a feral cat! Same here! I think I got the shaping down now. Don't wanna kill anyone with them! Monochrome is super cute, love it. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThe should name a nail polish colour "don't fuck with me" I'd buy it! Thanks for linking up to #FridayFrolics

DeleteI like to do this with my toenails. Keeps my side of the bed free from invaders #fridayfrolics

DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Those nails would be amazing for opening packets. You could just jab and rip with the nails! #FridayFrolics
ReplyDeleteHahaha Kim Kardashian's nails are ridiculous, I literally just loled while sitting at my desk at work...people are staring. : ) I hope that doesn't become a trend, it's just not practical. Thanks for sharing with #stayclassymama!
ReplyDeleteLOL!! Glad you got a good laugh! Aren't her nails so gawdy?! I can't. I'm laughing too. If I had chains on my nails they would be knotted into my hair & I would look like a psychopath lmao. Thanks for stopping by! Glad to have ya
