Ever have that set that really humbles you? I wasn’t going to post these, so I’m real late, but here it goes… how’d I do? Would you wear these? Inspo @nailsbyleesliee on insta!!

How did I do!? Are these a slaaaay? Or a nayyyy and would you wear them? Please be nice🙏❤️

I know these aren’t a crazy intricate set, but I just started doing my own nails last April. I am by no means an artist so drawing and painting is a big challenge for me. I also have trouble designing my own sets, I take a lot of inspo but I’m working on it.

I haven’t had this much trouble with a set yet, the way these gave me. I almost gave up on them, more than once—and I almost didn’t post them either. Nothing was going right, I couldn’t get the perfect base color it was either too light or too warm, or too sheer but I’m learning and growing with each set I do, and I am my own worst critic.

They are a little thiCc bc I needed to add more coats than I wanted, just to get the perfect color and opacity, I filed off the color 2 times and I wasn’t doing it again.. which is a step for me bc my perfectionism doesn’t let me rest lol. Same with the kisses and bows, I could do better.. but I repainted them so many times over countless hours so I finally said— these have to do🤷‍♀️

*Also* if my cuticles look red it’s bc they are just red. The tops of my fingies are ALWAYS red, I stopped messing with my cuticles, and started working on them almost a year ago but they are just always red-maybe from years of messing with them and having really dry skin🫣

Anyways, please be nice-I worked really hard!!❤️
