Hi, it's Nikki. Before you read any further on this site, I wanted to be upfront about a few things — mostly so nothing here ever gets mistaken for something it's not. I love nails, I've picked up a lot through trial, error, and genuine curiosity, and I share all of it here honestly. But I'm not a licensed nail technician or a dermatologist, and this page explains exactly what that means for you as a reader.
This Is Personal Experience, Not Professional Advice
Everything I write — care routines, shape recommendations, press-on tutorials — comes from what has genuinely worked for me and from research I've done along the way. It's shared for general information and inspiration, not as professional nail, cosmetic, or medical advice.
If you have a nail infection, an ongoing skin condition, or any concern that feels more serious than "which shape should I try next," please see a qualified dermatologist or a licensed nail technician instead of relying on a blog post — mine included.
Everyone's Nails Are Different
What works beautifully on my hands might not work exactly the same way on yours, and that's completely normal. Nail thickness, sensitivity to certain products, and how quickly nails grow all vary from person to person. I'd always suggest trying something small first — a patch test with a new product, or starting with one nail before doing a full set — rather than assuming every guide applies to you exactly as written.
Products & Tools We Mention
When I mention specific products, brands, or tools, it's because I've either used them myself or researched them carefully. That said:
- Product formulas and availability can change over time, even after a post is published
- I'm sharing my own results, which may not match yours exactly
- Always read the manufacturer's instructions and ingredient list before using any new product, especially if you have known allergies or sensitivities
Advertising & Support
This site is supported by advertising, which helps keep every guide free to read. Ads shown on NailzExtensions don't influence what I choose to write about or how honestly I write it — my opinions and recommendations stay my own. You can find more detail on how advertising works on this site in our Privacy Policy.
Links to Other Websites
Some posts link out to other websites, tools, or resources that I've found genuinely useful. Once you click through, you're on their site and under their rules — I can't take responsibility for content, accuracy, or products on sites I don't run myself.
No Guarantees, Just Honesty
I do my best to keep information accurate and up to date, and I go back and fix things when I learn I've gotten something wrong. Even so, nail care is a hands-on craft, not an exact science, and results can vary based on factors outside my control — your natural nail health, the products you use, your climate, and plenty else. I can't promise a specific outcome, only that I'm sharing what has genuinely worked for me, as clearly and honestly as I can.
