Recently, I decided to make a huge decision in terms of beauty. I decided to get my first set of acrylic nails. All of my friends have had them before and always spoke about how much they loved them. They would always say that they felt “boujee” with them on. I had always wanted to try them, but was not quite sure about how I would feel about the change. However, when I went home for the summer, I decided to take the plunge and try them out.
I decided that I wanted the coffin shaped style and settled on a light blue for the color. As my manicurist was doing them, I was definitely nervous, especially since he cut them pretty long for my very first set. After he was done, I could not help but admire how pretty they were, but kind of hated them at the same time. My nails were sore and I hated how long they were. They made my life so much harder. I could not really text, they made working hard, everyone commented on how long they were and they just seemed to get in the way. Although, I know my boyfriend loved them because he enjoyed how good they felt when I scratched his back.
After a couple of days, I got used to them and fell in love with the change I made to my nails. I have a tendency to talk with my hands but I was doing it more and more. I even started wearing gloves to work to protect them. I adored the shape, how long they were, and my friends were right, I did feel “boujee” with them. I could not wait to go get my first refill, which was actually the other day. I picked a beautiful deep yellow color and kept the same shape. This was probably the best decision I’ve made when it comes to beauty and I am definitely going to keep investing in acrylic nails.
