RULES

1. Be nice.

Our community is built around supporting and appreciating nail art, no matter the artist's current skill level.

Do be kind with constructive criticism, don't comment anything that is needlessly rude, or hurtful.

Critiques or comments including harassment, slurs, and -isms are off the table and will result in an instant permaban.

Engaging in the same type of behavior in retaliation is also not acceptable and will end with everyone involved being banned. Report inflammatory comments. Instead of engaging we recommend you block users that make you feel uncomfortable, but haven't necessarily broken rules.

2. List polishes and products.

Include a list of polishes and products used as a comment below your post, or in the post's title. Posts without lists will be removed after 6 hours. Polish/Product FAQ

If you are a professional nail technician posting your own work products are still required.

If your nails were done by someone else or at a salon, tag the post with ā€œSalon (list N/A)ā€. Product lists are not required for posts with this flair.

If your post was originally removed by the bot for account age/karma reasons, please message the mods and we will manually approve your post. You will have six hours from then to post your product list.

Common reasons why posts are removed.

3. Tag and flair your posts appropriately.

The following tags are MANDATORY if they apply to your post:

  • NSFW: "Not Safe For Work (NSFW)" content includes any images with blood, realistic gore, or nails painted/sculpted to portray nudity or sexual content. Final ruling is up to mod discretion.
  • Promotional/PR: If your post contains any products that you received for free/as a gift/in exchange for making social media content about it, you MUST use the Promotional/PR flair. See rule 8 for more information.
  • Sponsored: If you benefit monetarily in any way (you were paid to post about the brand/product, you are the brand owner, etc.) you MUST use the Sponsored flair. See rule 9 for more information.
  • Salon (List N/A): If your nails were done by someone else, whether at a salon or not.
  • Not My Nails: If posting someone elseā€™s work as an inspo pic, or to ask how a certain look was accomplished, etc.

All other flairs are optional. Flairs can be added to posts after posting by editing the submission. If you're having difficulty tagging your submission ask the mods for help.

4. No BST posts.

No buy/sell/trade (BST) allowed. Please visit r/RedditLaqueristaSwap for that. Please do not message the mods of this sub for help with that sub as we do not have the same mod teams.

5. Credit other peopleā€™s work.

Do not try to pass off other peopleā€™s work as your own. If your post is not your own original work, use the ā€œNot My Nailsā€ tag, and either name or link to the original artist.

6. Megathread content belongs in the megathreads.

The following content is not allowed as standalone posts and belongs in one of our megathreads:

  • PPU content (except manicures done with PPU polish)
  • HHC content (except manicures done with HHC polish)
  • Cart Posts
  • Hauls
  • Polish/swatch collections and/or storage unless you are posting to ask a specific question. If posting just to show what you have, it goes in the megathread.

Sale announcements are allowed as standalone posts, EXCEPT from October 1st to January 31st where we will have a ā€œHoliday Dealsā€ megathread. Before posting a sale announcement, please make sure there are no posts already up about the same sale. Duplicate posts about the same sale will be removed.

The ā€œWhere Are The Megathreads?ā€ thread lists every megathread that we currently have running. You can also find the list of all the megathreads in the sidebar. No, we cannot pin them all to the top of the subreddit. Reddit does not have that function.

7. Explicit comments and post titles aren't welcome.

Appreciate nails/nail art WITHOUT mentioning explicit, graphic, or sexual terms. Referring to things as hot, sexy, etc. is not allowed. Please report any explicit or harassing behavior that you see in this subreddit. THAT SAID, please do not message us over DMs, follows, etc. as thereā€™s nothing we can do about those (see rule 11).

NSFW nail art is allowed, but the post must be flagged as NSFW and the post must contain a SFW title.

8. This is a nail related subreddit, only share nail related content.

This subreddit is about nails: your nails, others' nails, nail art, nail care, nail issues, nail progress, nail product reviews, tutorials, etc. Non nail-related posts are not allowed.

9. Shameless advertising is not welcome.

All non-text posts must be an image/video directly uploaded to reddit (i.reddit.com, imgur, etc.). Links to your social media accounts are allowed within the comments of your post only.

Outside links to products and stores are allowed when appropriate within the context of your post or comment, however promoting products or posting solely for financial gain is not (including marketing/data collection surveys). DO NOT spam posts or comments linking to your blog, discount codes, referral links, etc., unless necessary.

E.g.: ā€œI love that product, where did you get it?ā€ would be the appropriate time to share links to the seller's page, or your own page. As mentioned above you must mention if you are directly benefiting from users clicking/purchasing through this link.

You must mention IN THE POST TITLE if you received products for free (including if the product is from your own brand) or are being compensated per FTC regulations. Mod Post with links to FTC regulations

You must also use the appropriate ā€œSPONSOREDā€ or "PROMOTIONAL/PR" tag for all parent content that contains sponsored or promotional content (see rule 3).

You must mention if your outside link is a referral/discount link.

You must mention if you're linking to your own store.

Failure to follow this rule will result in any or all of the following: an immediate ban, a ban and block on all links to your company/source within our subreddit, and your account will be reported to the Reddit Admins.

10. No asking for medical advice.

Examples of what is/isn't allowed can be found here.

11. Posts are publicly viewable.

Anything that gets posted to this subreddit is available for anyone on the internet to view and consume however they wish. It is not necessary to be a subscriber of this subreddit to view images posted here. It is not even necessary to have a Reddit account to view anything posted here. By posting here, you do so at your own risk.

Any comments made within the sub that make you feel uncomfortable should be reported to subreddit moderators, who will respond accordingly. Unwanted DMs should be reported to Reddit admins. Please do NOT report these to the subreddit moderators; we have no control over anything that happens outside of the sub.

Additionally, Reddit supplies user data to AI developers, which means that users' pictures can be scraped and sold to be used to train AI datasets. Again, post at your own risk.

Poparazzi Noble Quartz is amazing!

CVS $5 find Poparazzi brand is great! I love the shift in this, there's some more blue green in sunlight. I liked the formula. Definitely too sheer to use without a base color though. But ultimately very happy!

Spring in a bottle (and now on my nails)

This was my first polish from the brand Leesha's Lacquer and I have to say, I'm impressed! The formula was on the thick side but in a way that I actually like, so it doesn't just immediately flood my cuticles. It was fully opaque in two coats. The color is amazing. All in all I'm super happy with this polish and looking forward to trying more from the brand!

Trouble with cirque peel off base?

I have used a few different peely base coats and they seemed pretty much the same until this one. I started trying out the Cirque base a few weeks ago and I still canā€™t seem to get the hang of it. I wondered if anyone has any tips for using it? It does seem to last longer, not a single nail has popped off so far, but it doesnā€™t peel well for me at all. Itā€™s not as watery so I thought maybe I was trying to apply it too thin. I tried leaving it a little thicker, and I tried it with 2 ā€œthinā€ coats, but both ways took forever to dry and then when I went to remove it, both times it was weirdly gummy, almost like it had remained wet beneath the lacquer. With one thin coat (which is hard to do) it peels in pieces and I feel like Iā€™m picking it off bit by bit. Itā€™s only peeled off normally for me on 2 nails and I canā€™t figure out what I did differently! It also doesnā€™t seem to react to water well. Normally when I soak my hands in warm water peely base pops off easily in one piece without any residue but it seems like water makes the cirque base sticky.

OPI Summer 2024?

Has there been anything released on OPi Summer 2024?

I found a photo called My Me Era but I donā€™t think it could be their summer collection?

Can someone invent a ring that holds cuticle cream please

I am trying to stay on top of oiling my nails and I love the Burtā€™s Bees cuticle cream, but I always forget to use it! I feel like I might have a shot if I were wearing a ring that could hold cuticle cream. Didnā€™t we have ones that held lip balm in the 90s?!

Cut protection?

Iā€™m in need of a fresh mani but yesterday I ripped off a chunk of skin right next to my thumb nail (while cooking). If I put a glob of Vaseline or aquaphor on it, will that protect the cut from acetone and any other nail products? Thanks!!!

Is this salvageble?

Base: Kbshimmer's Fillin Groovy Base Coat

Polish: Kbshimmer's It Comes In Waves

Topper: Kbshimmer's Sea-ing is Believing

Top Coat: Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri Top Coat (in the red bottle)

It cracked last night & I'm not home so the best I could do was a bandaid. Pretty sure I just cracked it some more. Best I can tell the only place still attached is in the middle of the nail. It's not a straight line & it goes past the nail line.

I have nail glue & silk wraps at home.

Either way, I'm going to wrap it back up with a clean bandaid until I get home to either fix it or remove it.

Ugh. I hate this.

Searching for more lighter olives to add to my polish collection, does anyone have any recommendations? They can be of any finish.

This is only my 3rd time using gel polish. I've been using some cheap set I got off Amazon "gelen" and it tasted for about 2 weeks. I then got some beetles matte,top,base, and black for this. Not even 24hrs later and it's chipped and I could just peel off the whole nail. Did I do something wrong?

Weird Q re thermals

Is there a way to get them to NOT transition? I know they lose their thermal properties over time, but is there a way to take one that is currently reactive and get it to just be a static color? I have a few that I LOVE in their cold states but not so much in their warm states. Thx!

ILNP - Paisley/Fairy Dust

1 coat Sech Clear Base

2 coats ILNP - Paisley

1 coat Vibrant Scents Fast and Hard Quick Dry Top Coat.

2 days later -

1 coat ILNP - Fairy Dust

1 coat Vibrant Scents Fast and Hard Quick Dry Top Coat.

I was wearing Paisley for a couple of days and decided to add Fairy Dust to spiff up my mani for an outing. It worked out well since I didn't have time for a whole new mani!
