Be kind with constructive criticism; don't comment anything that is needlessly rude or hurtful. Our community is built around supporting and appreciating nail art, no matter the artist's current skill level.
Critiques or comments including harassment, slurs, and -isms are not allowed. Engaging in the same type of behavior in retaliation is also not acceptable. Report inflammatory comments.
This subreddit is about nails: your nails, others' nails, nail art, nail care, nail issues, nail progress, nail product reviews, tutorials, etc. Not nail related posts are not allowed.
If a pic you post isn't your own, you must use the ~Inspo~ post tag AND either credit the original artist or specify you don't know who the original artist is. Please cite the source of your reference and credit the original artists, including a link to the original source if possible.
Cross-posting from other subreddits is allowed as long as the content follows these rules - rule #4 applies here and a list of polishes and products must be included in the cross post (please do not direct us to the main post).
Include a list of polishes and products used with your post. Posts without lists will be removed after 12 hours. Include the products in the post title, text body, or a separate comment after posting. Brand names and shade names/numbers are required.
Product list should detail each of the main items used; for example, if you used a collection of polishes, each polish should be named. Base and top coat is not necessary to list, but helpful. Number of coats is also helpful, as is spelling out the name of the brand rather than using an acronym.
In the title -> Polish Brand - Polish Name
In the description or as a comment below your post -> āThis is Polish Brand āPolish Nameā in two coats.ā
If you are a professional nail technician posting your own work, a product list is still required.
If your nails were done by someone else or at a salon, describe what you had done best to your ability and tag the post as āSalon Work.ā
Sponsored posts* and ADs must be clearly tagged using the appropriate subreddit POST FLAIR (listed below) and your relationship with the brand must be explained (USER FLAIR). This is required by the FTC (see: https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/disclosures-101-social-media-influencers).
Subreddits, including their mods and users, are required to abide by the rules of Reddit TOS, and Reddit communities fall under American Consumer Protection rules; as such, this is the law. Mods will intervene for posts that fail to make their relationship or sponsor with a brand clear to the community. Mods will add the AD tag to posts that appear to fall under these guidelines, and will remove posts that fail to update their posts for clarity.
Sponsored Posts are considered *advertisements** (ADs) - sponsored means paid or compensated to post. Any content featuring an item that was given in turn or with compensation is considered an AD. In the nail polish world, the āPRā tag is often used to denote sponsored content - āPRā stands for āpublic relationsā or āpress releaseā, thus the item or content becomes a āPR product.ā The FTC guidelines say to be specific and avoid jargon, so we are adding āADā to all sponsored flairs and any post that falls into the following categories for clarity.
POST FLAIR: We require flair on all user postsā and sponsored posts must be tagged appropriately using the flair options listed below. Posters should also clarify sponsorship details in text when posting, such as whether the product was given freely, a prototype gift, paid content, and so forth.
PAID PR (AD) - When a brand pays you to post ("paid PR product").
USE THE REDDIT BRAND AFFILIATE TOGGLE WHEN POSTING Need help? https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/23972085214484-What-s-a-brand-affiliate-tag
GIFTED PR (AD) - When a brand gives a person an item ("gifted PR product") and that item is used and reviewed and shared publicly.
SELF-PROMO (AD) - You are an influencer, such as a nail technician, sharing your work, but you do not gain direct monetary benefits from exposure.
USER FLAIR: Blogger, Swatcher, and Brand Owner user flair tags are available to make your brand relationship very clear. You can change your user flair on the subreddit sidebar, by your username.
Note: Affiliate links are not allowed. Posts for deals/discounts/and sales on behalf of a brand or as a brand must also be tagged as AD. By nature, these are advertisements and must be tagged as such.
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.
Pedi posts are allowed on DISCORD ONLY; POSTS HERE WILL BE REMOVED AND REDIRECTED. http://discord.gg/redditlaqueristas
Pedis are level-locked on our Discord; users must participate in order to āgain XPā (karma) before they can post pedi pics. There is too much of a communal risk to allow pedi pics openly on our subreddit.

No injury posting. Bare and broken nails (both together) must be spoilered; nails with an injury in general should be spoilered if very mild or otherwise not posted. Just bare nails do not need to be spoilered, though some members of the community request/suggest that you do.
No seeking or giving medical advice. We recognize that nail care can be difficult at times and intimidating for new hobbyists; however, we are collectively strangers and not medical professionals, and cannot assess/diagnose/assist with hand or nail related injuries and concerns.
The following are examples of posts we cannot allow:
We cannot field these questions, we can only ever direct you to consult a medical professional or see a doctor.
Please take buy/sell/trade/ISO (BST) to our companion subreddit, r/RedditLaqueristaSwap.
No tolerance policy for people who DM or message our users soliciting them inappropriately. Report inappropriate or uncomfortable comments or DMs and we will act accordingly (ban).
User caution: Anything that gets posted to this subreddit is available for anyone on the internet to view. It is not necessary to be a subscriber or have a Reddit account to view images posted here.

How do you guys destash polishes with bad formulas? Iām not talking about polishes that have thickened up over time and need to be thinned out, Iām talking about polishes with watery or uneven formulas. I think this goes without saying, but I refuse to sell or donate any polish with a crappy formula, it wouldnāt be fair to the next owner. So where does one go from there?
I was just going to take a pic to document this polish for my own personal swatch info but then I saw how amazing the dismal, gray mid-November lighting made all the shifts in this polish look and I had to post a videoā¦
My nails have dreadful ridges. They are far too delicate and crumbly to ever try to buff out. I would love to have recommendations from sister sufferers for workhorse ridge fillers, maybe indie ones, hidden gems that don't get enough praise. Is there any product that has really impressed you? Are there tricks to it? How is the dry time on it? Thanks!š
Got this freebie from Essie! Think it was something I signed up for from Facebook :)
Iām considering Midnight Kiss, but Iām not totally convinced itās much different from Chopstix and Stones. If anyone could please swatch these next to each other Iād really appreciate it š
I have zero complaints on how well this base coat performs. It goes on easily, itās great, my polish stays on forever, my nails donāt peel. It unfortunately is orange and adds a further yellowing to my nail when applied, which makes it even harder to wear sheer polishes. I know there are similar bases but Iāve never tried them. Is there anyone who has who can recommend something the most similar?
I just did a rough count of my polishes and Iāve got around 300 bottles including top and base coats š so Iām trying to use some polishes I rarely or havenāt worn (as I have my wishlists saved for Black Friday LOL). Iām really loving this color combo but not sure how I feel about it on my skin tone.
I'm new to the gel polish world. This was so hard to get right!! And it's still not perfect.
Products used Beetles nail glue, d481, b401 Gelpolish top coat Random magnet
I know, beetles is bad. I'm broke and can't upgrade rn š.
OPI nail envy gets recommended over and over and after caving and buying one months ago, I can tell you it does work as advertised.
Another quick drying top coat that got too thick before I finish it. I'm tired of throwing away bottles. I don't know if I can fix it with thinner or it will not work anymore if I do?
Not my nails! I found this photo on Pinterest with no credit attached (š ) and it is my new obsession. Does anyone have an idea of what color this purple is?
