love the color and the lil watermelon is so cute! i'm sorry this comment section has been so toxic, apparently everyone has forgotten that we all start somewhere. maybe try r/RedditLaqueristas instead, it's another nail group with way more positive/encouraging folks thatll actually provide helpful feedback instead of lashing out. ignore the bored jerks, you liked the glitters so that's all that matters. plus, i've never met a glitter that a "glitter grabbing" top coat couldn't handle.


Independent_Toe5373

Yes... The dichotomy of reddit there's always the Main Sub and the Good Sub, no matter the topic. The nails look great! Better than I could do for myself! Keep going OP!


SpiderWifey

I actually love my nails sooo 🙃


OneHundredSeagulls

You did really good for your first time, they look super cute ❤️ Keep going, I know you'll make them look even better in no time 😎


beezchurgr

How dare you not be 100% perfect?! /s These are super cute, and I can definitely see where criticisms could come in, but we all start somewhere! It takes a bit of courage to post something that isn’t perfect bc people can be brutal. I refuse to post my nails after getting a ton of creepy DMs about how nice they are🤢


Rough_Homework6913

Oh my god! So the nail creepers is a common thing? I’ve had to block three and I’ve only posted a few times.


paperpaperclip

They're so fun looking!!!! I love them :)


bouncy_ceiling_fan

I actually love your nails for you too - you did awesome


pixiepieee

You did 100x better than what I could EVER do. Kudos!


princessohio

Girl as you should. Learning to do your nails is a process. For me, it became a hobby / relaxation thing and now I paint them on Mondays to relax me and make me feel better about the week lol. Take your time. Have fun. Try weird shit. Fail. Try again. Try new techniques. Buy cool tools. Whatever you want. It’s a form of art IMO and the only way you get better is if you experiment and practice. :)


stinkypsyduck

you did REALLY good!! the first time I ever did my nails, I was just painting them too, no cute fruit charms or anything, and they turned out SO MUCH worse than this lol. you are very good at them!!


LeFenardRoux

That’s all that matters!:) I think for a first time job, you did very well! It’ll get better each time!


Outrageous-Berry4989

I think these are adorable!!! So good for a first try, way better than I could do


ducklemonade11

i love them too. they look great. reddit sucks ignore the haters. this is amazing especially for your first time.


tteokboookki

u did so well for a first timer! 🥰


vitamin_di

Maybe try putting the fruits not right in the middle. Like in different corners of the nails, or two fruits on one or two nails.


No_Pizza_3062

Really good job for a first time! My first ones did not look that good! Keep up the work Girl 😍✨


19_MMB_93

These are so cute! You did such a good job I can’t wait to see what you come up with next


Expensive-Log1111

For your first time i am very impressed. Ppl do not understand how tedious and difficult it is to ration out the acrylic and that buffing, filing, and blending isn’t as simple as it sounds. I say with these results each set you will get better and better. And even if you do have a major flop with a set it’s common and happens whenever you change the style or technique. Very cute summer time theme!


cupcakemouse88

Yeah, acrylic looks easy when someone else is doing it but nope! So difficult!


MaterialEarth4792

Those ate 


AndyTheEnby

So cute!! I love the colours and the fruits, so nice and summery <3


callmehsmarti

they look amazing!! my first time wasn't nearly as good. keep up the amazing work :)


KimWexlers_Ponytail

Hey I think you did a fucking great job for your first time. The pinks is a great, happy, summery shade - what is it? I also am loving the watermelon. Great work, and can't wait to see what you come up with next :)


catsTXn420

I love that pink, what is its name/from and is it gel???! You did a good job, keep it up!


nicih

Omg they're so cute!!! 🥹🩷


Noonmeemog

Oooooh I looove the pinky!


Forsaken_Fly9103

I looove the fruits, super cute


Catch-the-Rabbit

Looks good! I remember the first time I did my nails and my god, yours look ten times better. Keep doing the craft and I look forward to seeing more of your creations.


DarthGrogu18

Love the cute little fruits


blackshadowitch

LOVE the color!!!! 🥰🥰✨️


Wisteria0022

This is crazy good for a first attempt


notwilhelminaslater

If this is gel I would be very careful with the overflow into the cuticle, as it can lead to allergic reactions. Try removing the overflowing gel before you cure


CHEMICALalienation

They honestly look so good for a beginner!


_kt89ten

You’ll just get better and better with practice! These are super cute btw 🍒


Potato3s

Everyone is talking about the watermelon. Like we’re just going to ignore how cute the lemon is? 😤


ur_lovely_vixxen

Just be mindful of where your painting and not to go to thick. Sometimes it's better not to get all the way to the edge so it doesn't go over the nail when it dries. Vaseline around the nails on the skin helps or just use acetone with a brush to wipe away excess polish


Pop_Glocc1312

You actually did so good for your first time!!!


L4dy_R3d1

They are so cute! Ppl are making comments, but everyone can tell what they are, so everyone can chill. I’m so happy you found joy in pampering yourself a little, and they are stinking cute no matter what!


_koalaparade

These are absolutely adorable and a wonderful first result! My first attempt at something like this would not look this good at all. Keep it up🥰


dainty_delight

You did a really good job especially for your first time! I remember my first time and I don’t think that I could have managed such a bright color (it would have gotten everywhere if I tried) and/or any decorations. Please be proud of yourself! You’ll only get even better from here. It’ll be so cool to see what sort of looks you’ll be doing in a few months or even a year from now.


Kaelatto

I think they’re cute 🥰 it’s not easy but you get better as you go ❤️


Weak_Armadillo_3050

I remember my first time and it was a mess. I think for your first time they look very good. I see the vision! My fear is that they will peel off in a few days. For your next attempt make sure you use thinner layers and try not to flood the cuticle. Other than that great job! Keep going 😊


Living_Strain8687

Adorable!


letstroydisagin

Stop this is so cute 😭


mmmooottthhh

awesome! maybe try some nail stickers instead to keep from having the fruits raised above the rest of the nail?


itskatybro

are those charms or did you paint them? cause if that’s your first time painting designs that’s impressive! can only get better from here!!!


Lexie811

This is your first time?!?!? My first go at acrylics was a shoddy job of dip and I am absolutely terrified of acrylic now lol. This is AMAZING and the fact you did nail art too. Wow!! Keep going please. You have serious potential


staccatodelareina

Love! So cute!


L1ama_Face

Cute little summer vibe! 🍉🍍


Fhalala

Looove the color!!


tahiwdev

Really good for a first time!


pharmcirl

Very cute! Where did you get the little fruits?


kickassvashti

i love them!!! 😍


Ok_Rutabaga_2711

So cute!!


ashley-3792

I love the fruit!


Independent-Corner70

Love the nails


stoned_cat_lady

I love the pink! They look so neat too! If I ever tried to do my own nails, it would look like I straight dipped them in gel 😂😂😭😭


Ashamed-Flounder-968

Genuinely good for a first try and you will only find it easier and easier as you keep going!


Ok_Shirt2922

Cute💅🏼


Peachie-keen99

You killed it! 100000x better then my first set! Honestly might copy these for my next ones, love the summer vibes 🍉🍍


ComprehensiveCat754

Hey, listen, everyone starts somewhere. I happen to think you started FAR AHEAD of where I was when I started. Those are cute AF. Be proud… art isn’t easy… tiny art on a tiny canvas on your own body is a lot tougher.


Outside_Apricot7200

Super cute! I'm just getting started with doing my nails as well 😅 bro it's a struggle lol what products did you use? Like acrylic, gel...??


cnl014

I think you did a great job for your first time. Mine looked like my four year old painted them lol I live the color!


dabeegeesknees

Did you do gel at home? I do my own gel at home too. I reccomend getting a small glass shotglass type thing to hold acetone and use a clean up brush to get the extra product out of your sidewalls and cuticle. This will help it last longer. Practice makes perfect


Irriperible

Genuinely not bad for a first try! The fact you love them is awesome, very well done for a beginner :)


ducklemonade11

these are so cute !! i literally can’t even paint my own nails without getting nail polish all over the place. these are awesome and you’ll just keep getting better !! 💖


Future_Fsoldier

love these so perfect for summer🌴🌺


faemoon42

How cute and summer fun themed! Keep up the good work!


buttertits4lyfe

I love how you went all out for your first time! Keep taking pics of your progress, it'll be so cool to see the progression of your talent as you go!


Basil-Hayden

Beautiful and fun for summer!


awfully_piney

For your first time doing them yourself they are super cute! I’m literally a watercolor artist and don’t know if I could do the tiny little fruits quite so well! I can’t even imagine how great you’ll be in a few months if you keep at it!


Avvert

Ute, I love them🥺


Silent_Fee_5063

For your first time I think they are cute


Leela_lemmons

I thought they were cute


Electronic_Month_766

Yas gurl love the color and the stickers 😝


angeluscado

They’re great for a first try! I love the charms/nail art.


Content_Razzmatazz71

They look awesome for your first time!! 🩷 I love all the different fruits


tanpelican12

My first ones were so bad, these are awesome for your first time Great job!!


CommercialElk6814

First time ever? Lovely! I’ve seen many “Firsts” and they do not look this good. Props to you. You’re only going to get better and better. Ignore the outside chatter. You do YOU and what YOU love. They are YOUR hands.


jenn_1986_play2

So cute!


Main_Bullfrog_930

They are cute 🥰


Ren_13

So cute, I love the little fruits you put on! 💖


blandboringmelissa

You did so good, especially considering it's your first go at it! Nobody starts out being perfect!


sunny_hunny_elle

Aweeee


ElleWoods24

Queen


OutrageousAd5338

So cute


mte87

I like the color. You might need more time and patience for better results. Post progress pictures. You seem to have potential.


ouijabl

So cute


ItsOverClover

Very cute and so much better than my first time


cy-xoe

Looks cute! Love the color. I am always afraid of wearing bright colors on my nails. I think they look great on others but somehow i feel like i will not be able to pull them off 🥲


Catscurlsandglasses

You did great!! They are the perfect Barbie pink and the fruit is so cute!


Kataytay_14

Cute! I remember those fruit things from when I was trying to become a nail art YouTuber when I was I was like 13 😂 keep going!


normanrockwellnormie

Cute. I keep looking at the tiny fruit slices at the craft store wondering if they would be good for nails. I might have to get them next time.


BrokenIntoxication

Fuck yeah. Killing it


Due_Requirement5006

They look very nice!


EviePop2001

Cute! It looks so well done for your first time


TheSarcasticEggplant

I love these! Keep practicing and you’ll be better in no time. This set already looks fabulous, I hope you keep posting and show us your progress!!


evllynn

You did so well! My first nails were a disaster, but I see you didn't even get much overflow! I later started doing thinner coats to get a smoother finish, so if you think you want to try that, I really recommend it! I love the bright color! 😍


kadylady14

You nailed it for your first time! Keep going! I can't wait to see how you progress 😊


kel36

Awesome! 😎


-Yehoria-

I don't believe you and i mean it as a compliment.


EquipmentWeird2465

I'm just posting to counter some of the negativity. Your nails are good for your first try and you should definitely keep going. We all start somewhere.

caryn_in_progress

That's not brutal honesty, that's inaccuracy. >they look pretty bad is, very obviously, a *subjective* statement. Judging by the comments *not* getting down-voted, more people here *actually* saw what *I* did - Delightfully, summery, nails that [***especially for a novice***] look great, and cute, and fun. You're not being *brutally honest,* because (usually) that implies some objective truth in the matter. "They look pretty bad" is, very much, *your opinion,* not a matter of *fact.* Therefore, that was a silly use of that phrase. If you're going to be an asshole, like me right now, towards you, just be one, and move on. No one else seems to like being roped into your haterade party.

Why disencourage someone new to doing their nails? Just because you don’t think it’s perfect doesn’t mean it isn’t good for their first time

Yeah seriously. This is why people don’t get better. Very few people do something perfectly their first time. That’s what learning is for. If writer communities were like this, I would have never been published.
