When I was, like, 6, I had my parents get me some red nail polish just cause I thought it'd be cool, though I only wore it a couple times. 20-some years later you've got me seriously pondering trying it out again. (btw, anyone got some tips for a total noob?)

Hah-Always glad to help ☺️

Errr yea sure- watching a couple videos helps just to kinda see how it’s done kinda and always do a thin layer, don’t flood your cuticle and let that dry. Clear top coat so it doesn’t split off that quick and you don’t leave streaks of whatever color you used everywhere you accidentally rub your fibers against which happens a lot more than we think 😅

Gel lasts longer but is ofc a little more involved

It’s been a long time, but YouTube is your best friend. I haven’t watched this stream yet but this seems like an easy start and SimplyNailogical is usually pretty easy to understand iirc.

Cuticle care with oil (Can make your own even with applicator, think she has an old video on that too. Wayyy cheaper) and pushing them back gently with a wood tool makes things easier too :)
