Nails of the Week – New Year Nails

It has been a minute since I posted a nail update. I did not do much with my nails after my last nail update. For my birthday, I was able to get them done. I got the dip-powder and liked the look. I did not get a photo of them. I kept those nails on until it was time for my cousin’s event, and then I got dip-powder again. I am new to the nail lingo, and I did not get what I wanted. I learned that I was not a fan of the dip-powder process. I should have gotten an overlay instead of dip-powder for my cousin’s event (photo below).

Money spent and lessons learned. For the new year, I was determined to get it right. I still wanted nice-looking nails, but I did not want to spend as much money. During the waiting period of getting my nails done, my nails had the opportunity to grow. This time I got an overlay over my nails and had them painted with regular polish (photo below). I also got my toes painted too. I did not get the name of the color, but the brand was OPI. I am proud of the results.

My ultimate goal is to get back to painting my own. These experiences are giving me the confidence to go in that direction.

The past few workout weeks have been 😝🫣🤦🏽‍♀️. 
Wins: I was able to get at or above 10,000 steps.
Lessons: Keep going. Stop letting fear and emotions dictate my workout days. It’s time to pick the weights back up.
