I do the myself. I only use regular polish tho, not acrylics or gels bc I don’t wanna develop any allergies.

Do your own! Pays for itself over time... Gel polish is easier to work with in my opinion but yk it's different for everyone

a pretty decent gel kit and lamp is like $40 on amazon so using that a couple times does pay for itself fr

I see a lot of people recommending gel in comments and I just wanna advise you to be super cautious if you plan on doing gels. Not enough people talk about how you can develop an allergy to not just gels, but also medical devices if you ever need any surgeries. If you plan on using gel, make sure to avoid getting any product on your skin and immediately clean it off you do get on your skin, fully cure your gel polish under a uv lamp, and don’t use kits from Amazon.

I have autism and hate the weight of nail polish on my finger nails so I just grow mine out and they basically look like French tips

realized it’s probably not helpful unless I elaborate. I have a massive box of clear press ons so I glue those on and paint em however I like (I dabble in nail art). They last like a solid week, which is perfect for me cause I get bored easily.

Invest in higher quality products if you can. Personally, I don’t think gel should be as readily available to buy because of how dangerous it can be to a person’s health. Those products are really meant for nail techs or people who have at least completed nail school.

Oh yeah, I definitely don’t think you should be using gels then if that’s the case. Luckily there’s a lot of great polishes out there for you to choose from!!
