2023 Gel Manicures At @meglouise_nailsandbeauty (Harrogate 2023)

I really wanted to share all of the beautiful manicures I have had this year done by @meglouise_nailsandbeauty, I highly recommend Megan. Just so you know, I never get extensions or tips put onto my nails, only BIAB and gel polish.

January

I had quite short nails so went for navy blue and silver glitter.

February (manicure 1)

Here is how outgrown and missing a few, you can see how much my nails have grown.

I wanted to go round tip and I wanted to go cute and girly with glitter and look how adorable these are.

February (manicure 2)

I had a few accidents with my nails a few days or a week in to getting my manicure so needed to get them sorted.

I went for a French manicure which I love, I wanted something simple.

March

My nails are just outgrown but look how healthy they look.

Wanted to go girly and get flowers on my nails, I don't know where this has come from, I never do this sort of thing.

April

My nails are outgrown, my cuticles and skin is dry, I need to remember to use cuticle oil but look how long my nails have got.

I went for French manicure again, I feel like my nails are at the perfect length.

May

My nail broke at a market I was doing for Maude & Noah.

I decided to go colourful as I am going on a warm holiday, I wanted the blue for the Greek holiday I am going on, I also had to go short because of the break.

June

The same nail broke, plus they are really overgrown.

I saw on Pinterest a nail similar to this so decided to go for this design.

July

Nails are really overgrown and cuticles are overgrown and dry.

I went for my usual French manicure but with the lighting they look really pink, they are not.

August

Look how long they have gotten.

I wanted them short black, really love them.

September

My nails grow so quickly, I did have a few bits lift or break but it didn't break my nails.

Of course I went back to having French manicure.

October

My nails are way too long for me to function.

I went for a simple pink colour.

November

So long.

I went for a simple skinny French manicure.

December

Seriously, I believe this is the longest my nails have ever got.

I wanted a French manicure but I went with a red glitter tip for Christmas.

I know I am a qualified nail tech but I love getting my nails done, great conversation with Megan but also if I do them myself I don't have the wide range of colours plus sit back for thirty minutes to an hour and don't work. My nails have got so much stronger since using BIAB (Builder In A Bottle) and the gel. You can see over the months when I get them cut short they seem to grow so quickly. I will be doing this blog post next year, I am hoping to do more colourful designs.
