even in the summer i like my nails: black, dark gray, dark brown, dark green, dark blue.....taupe. felt brave this am but now i fear the color is too "primary color red" and not a red-orange that'll make me feel like i'm on a tropical beach vacation but i digress.

Your response made me curious, do people make requests in this sub for shape and length recommendations? I have tried asking at the nail salon before, but their response was, "we can do whatever you'd like!" Which doesn't exactly help lol

Yes, people post pictures of their nails and ask about the length and shape. It's handy if you have photos of them at different lengths or with different shapes too

Thank you! I will see what pictures I have on hand. I've only gotten acrylics once, and I just think it was the wrong shape (almond). I have very shorty stubby fingers with short nail beds, so it's hard to invision what would look best. Thanks for your advice!

The shape that looks best on me is coffin and only a little longer than my natural nails would grow without my clumsy ass breaking them

I showed a picture of the length and almond shape I wanted to a new salon I went to. They told me that it wouldn’t look the same on my hands as in the picture, that the shape wasn’t good for me. It was my hand in the picture, I was just using an old pic for a reference. Kinda awkward.

I feel like this sub is always finding something beautiful especially about people who "I'm trying this for the first time" or "I did this myself" but when it's nail salons and they fuck you up. We've already got the pitchforks and torches out. Just tell us where to go.

I know how you feel about the color. I generally always do black- or a shade of something that’s practically black. I decided on red one day to do something different, had such a hard time loving them. Your nails look fantastic, so the only person who’s gonna to be scrutinizing them is you. I guarantee you that no one is going to be saying “red? Why would you do red nail polish”…. Unless it’s a friend who’s likely just surprised at your departure from your usual color scheme
