Beautiful Manicures: Lubbock Ladies Show Off Their Fiercest Claws

I have a confession: I have never once gotten acrylic nails. When I was a teen, an adult I really admired showed me exactly what can go wrong if you go to an inexperienced or negligent nail tech- her natural nails had rotted. I mean, literal green mold circles like you see on bread. I was low-key traumatized by that interaction. However, after seeing all these beautiful, and totally safely done manicures on my friends, I might have to break my no-acrylic streak.

I asked my lovely friends to show off their favorite manicures that they've received from Lubbock local nail techs. There's a huge variety of practical nails to lengthy claws, from girly Hello Kitty to Spooky Season Scream themed nails. Neutral to black, boujie to on a budget.  And they are all so pretty.

Here's a gallery with these nails, and the place/ person who did them. So whether you're looking for a new nail tech, or just want to browse great nail design ideas, I know you'll enjoy these photos.
