•Spring Nail Colors 2024•

New nail polishes came in today. I always do my own nails because it's very therapeutic. I've gotten so good at doing my nails that people have mistaken them for professionally done. It's a fun little hobby of mine. My biggest tip other than practice is to learn how to clean up the edges with nail polish remover, and don't— I repeat DON'T— flood your cuticles. Nothing screams "I did these nails on my own at midnight" more than flooded cuticles, messy lines, and indents imo. I always go with Essie— great colors, great quality, a classic.

These are my picks for Spring 2024~

From Left to Right: 024 marshmallow, 120 vanity fairest, 264 watermelon, 416 berry naughty, 336 word on the street (quick dry)

Gavin x Reader | Special Clientele

sfw

gender-neutral reader (freelancer)

2nd person

fluff

slightly suggestive near the end

word count: 665

“If you can change your appearance, can’t you just ‘paint’ your own nails?”

You sit at the kitchen table across your lover. The little pouch you’ve set down clinks with nail polish bottles, cuticle pushers, and everything else you’d need for an at-home manicure.

“Sure I could, but where’s the fun in that?” Gavin asks. “Anything to have my hands in yours, My Love.”

You roll your eyes, but bring his hand to your lips and press a kiss to his knuckles anyway. Gavin smiles contentedly as you give his nails a closer look.

“Good and strong,” you comment, applying gentle pressure with your thumb. You release his hand and unzip your bag, neatly lining up bottles of nail polish in front of the both of you. “Why don’t you pick your color and,” you open your phone as well; the screen displays a graphic of different nail shapes - “Your shape.”

“With pleasure.”

Taking his time, Gavin’s eyes narrow and brow furrows as he goes through his color options, holding each bottle to the back of his hand and seeing how they complement him. Maybe he’d be a little more decisive choosing his shape.

“Tough choice, isn’t it?” Playful affection tinges your tone. “You can always pick more than one; it’s no trouble.”

“Well, I wanna get this right,” he says in earnest. “You’re the expert. What would you recommend?”

“I’ve always thought that pink suits you; what do you think about this one?” You take a warm shade of magenta and slide it toward Gavin, to which he takes the bottle and holds it against his skin a second time.

“This’ll do perfectly,” he says, satisfied. “And stilettos, if you please.”

Your work is gentle and precise, with soft nudges to Gavin’s cuticles and meticulously laid brushstrokes on his nails. He eyes you the whole time, observing how your brow lowers over your squinted eyes and how constant your hold on each of his fingers is. Looks like you want to get this right, too.

“You have excellent handiwork, but I guess I already knew that,” Gavin offers. You only smile wryly in response, never taking your gaze off the steady lines of paint you’ve left. “You’ve done this before?” he asks, a playful suspicion about his voice.

“Yeah, for a few years by now,” you tell him. “Just my own for a while, but I’ve done other people’s nails a few times before.”

“Well, I feel even better knowing I’m in good hands. And they are very good hands.” Someone’s on his game. You finally take your eyes off Gavin’s nails, if only for a moment to roll them again.

“Enough of that. This is a professional setting,” you tell your client, something barely noticeable tugging the corners of your lips upward.

“My apologies, then. I spoke out of turn.”

You’re given the peace to carry out the rest of your task undisturbed, with Gavin carefully resting his chin on his free hand and continuing to watch you in quiet fondness. You disrupt his concentration at times to ask that he lays both hands flat on the tabletop, letting you wave a folding fan over the still-drying polish in cool gusts.

“Wouldn’t it be easier to cast a breeze?”

“‘Sure I could, but where’s the fun in that?’” you parrot.

Eventually, your hard work pays off with a final swipe of top coat and the last few flourishes of your fan. You tap lightly at the corners of the polish, assuring yourself that it’s dry enough to avoid smudging.

“All done. What do you think?”

Gavin holds a hand up to the kitchen light, inspecting the glossy pink at each pointed nail.

“Beautifully done, as expected. Thank you, My Love.” He stands - for the first time in hours (“This takes longer than I thought,”) - and ambles to your side of the table, pressing warm lips to your own.

“Hm, is that my payment?”

“If you’ll accept it. Unless you were looking for more?”

Hi Mai! Anything interesting coming up?

How are you doing? Make sure to hydrate and take care of yourself okay? ^^

I wanted to ask, forgive me if you've said it before, but how do you remove gel nails? I've heard of peel off gel and I'm interested, but I don't know what brand to get. If you don't use peel off gel, what do you do? Does it damage at all?

Sorry for so many questions! You don't have to answer if you don't want to. Thank you so much though!

Have a day/night/morning/evening as lovely as yourself 💕

hi lovely !! today is v good so far (ㅅ´ ˘ `) its only 9 am for me but i made myself a smoothie & im rlly happy bc i have some time to draw before i start my day !! are u up to anything special this weekend? <33

omg no pls dont apologize i dont mind at all, i use the essie gel polishes & it just comes off w normal nail polish remover !! they dont damage my nails or anything like that but i’d def use a base coat to give urself a little something extra !!

#valentines #i dont know a lot ab nails :< i dont think the essie gel polishes are like /real/ gel but they last so much longer #than reg nail polish i mean !!#i feel like they just look so much smoother & nicer too !!

Well, since someone ::cough!tony!cough:: knocked my topcoat off the top of the dresser and broke the bottle I needed to get new top coat. Naturally the nearest store that sells the brand I was using is an hour's drive away. And the nearest Walmart has an absolute shit nail polish section.

Guess we'll see how this does. I will admit, it does dry nice and fast, as advertised! Now we'll see how well it holds up.

#nail polish #i have two bottles of essie nail polish that seem pretty high quality #so im hopeful this will be as good or better than the china glaze i had been using #*also i cant actually prove it was tony #hes just the most likely suspect

Already posting a new nail look I just painted.

This one is based off of Zecharias from @letmeremindyouvn though I decided not to go for white in this one, since I've done a black, white, and gold look before for a different character. Instead, I painted his little blue boutonierre on one of my pinkies, which was kind of difficult, since it was on my dominant hand to match the side he wears it on.

Yeah, though, the main colors are Essie Licorice and I Scream Nails Love Nectar. The flower is I Scream Nails Forget Me Not and Essie Check Your Baggage.

HI BARBIE ! ~

This nail art is so Barbie coded and it's definitely intended! At first, I wanted to reproduced the Barbie nail art that Coewless posted on her IG page but I wasn't satisfied with the result so I decided to do it my way. I'm really happy with the design I came up with. The colors look so great together. I especially like my pointer and middle fingernails.

Polishes I used :

OPI : Can't CTRL Me

Essie : Lovie Dovie

China Glaze : Sweet As Pinkie Pie

Sephora : Way To Heaven

Barry M : Socialite

Bourjois : Flambant Rose

Hema : Sunny Flowers

White & Black Polishes
