Definitely non-dominant hand. I would have one hand looking gorgeous and the other one looking like my dog did it.😅

Cuticle care can be a bit difficult. I worry I might hurt my fingers, and I’m not very comfortable doing it myself.😅

Honestly, the hardest part of doing my own nails is trimming my cuticles. One wrong move and I could cut myself. It’s so tricky!😂😂😂

For me, it’s definitely getting gel polish close to the cuticles without flooding them 😅 It looks so easy until you actually try it!

I love it doing my own nails! Nails for life, it’s no hard part anymore!I’d say at most is the hand cramping & angles! Otherwise it’s smooth sailing

The hardest part of doing my own nails is definitely working on my non-dominant hand! 😂💅 I’m also always working on getting both hands to match, creating cleaner, crisper nail art, and keeping my gel perfectly away from the cuticle area.
One thing that has helped me is slowing down, using a smaller amount of product, and using a fine liner brush for more control. I’ve also learned not to rush the shaping process because getting every nail even can make such a huge difference in the finished set.
I’m still learning and improving with every set, and honestly that’s one of my favorite parts about doing nails... there’s always another technique to practice and something new to create! 🩷✨

For me, doing the nails on my right hand is a bit complicated, but not impossible 😉

The hardest part of doing my nails is:
1) Building the correct apex using my non-dominant hand
2) Figuring out what design/color scheme I want to do
3) Preventing lifting on my really bendy, thin nails.
💛I'm learning that I don't have to be perfect.
🩷Picking 3 or 4 colors and building a design around it keeps me focused on creating a new set.
🩵Trying different techniques is helping me with retention, like full coverage tips are becoming a game changer. Then doing fills as my nails grow out keeps my natural nails in good condition!
