What should I get at the nail salon if I’m not a regular?
Our take
Planning a vacation and want to treat yourself to a nail makeover? If you're not a regular at the nail salon, navigating the world of nail enhancements can feel overwhelming. With options like gel, gelx, dip, and acrylic available, it's easy to get lost in the choices. Since you prefer to keep it simple on your natural nails, consider a gel manicure. It's durable, won't chip easily, and can last through your vacation without the hassle of frequent touch-ups or removal appointments.
I haven’t gotten my nails done in years, but I would like to get them done for vacation. I know there’s so many different things now gel, gelx, dip, acrylic, etc. and I don’t know what to get.
I feel like regular nail polish comes off too quick but I also want something I won’t have to go back to the salon to get taken off. I also just want it on my natural nail, no tips.

- Nails for beginnersI am a nail biter who has never gotten into having my nails done. I always see women with beautiful nails and have nail envy and curiousity/confusion on how everyone seems to have such nice nails all the time. I’ve tried press ons, but they never last for me because my nails are too short to begin with. I don’t know the first thing about where to start. My nails are still very short (trying to grow them out and cover them with nicer fake nails) I have paid for a nail tech to do them before and honestly can’t afford it as a student. What is everyone doing in terms of easy DIY nails? Or are most women going to the nail salons? Do you do gel x at home, acrylic , powder etc I don’t know the difference between all the different kinds. I bought items for gel x nails but am scared of getting contact dermatitis as an amateur. Please help a girl out. Thank you. submitted by /u/ladybugbelle4 [link] [comments]
- Recommendations for DIY gel nails, easy application for a total beginner?I'm not someone who gets nails done. I used to get acrylics but would like something more natural looking. I would probably want extensions of my natural length and perhaps some cute designs too. Are those sticker ones that you cure a good way to go? How do you refill them? Or remove? Bonus points if it's Aussie brand. Thanks. submitted by /u/Defiant-Elk849 [link] [comments]
- What do I ask at the nail salon for these nails?I'm a newbie and have never gotten my nails done at the salon. I want to get these nails. What exactly do I ask for/what color to pick out? Is this dip? My nails are super short but I definitely want to add length like the photo submitted by /u/Aggravating_Face_655 [link] [comments]
- New to DIY nails - help?Title. Hi all, I am hoping to learn the proper steps/best practice to apply/remove builder and hard gels for nails. My spouse gets their nails done at a salon, and I'd like to start doing them at home to both save on money and time. I saw a lot of posts and videos but there's literally so many, I get a little overwhelmed. What I know so far, I think (on bare nails): Cuticle pushing. Sanding/efile. Dehydrator stuff? / Wipe Rubber base coat. Apply plastic fake nail? Cure for a few seconds with a UV light. Cut/file to size and shape and wipe off. Apply gel from cuticle to tip. Cure for 1 min. - This is where I get lost fort like, colors and stuff - Add optional jewels and things and then cure again? I don't know if this will go beyond doing nails at home, but I'd like to be fairly good at it. Any advice or pointing to another thread is appreciated.
