r/Nails

Can you post your project here?

Posts that are purely to advertise a product or brand are banned. However, product lists are encouraged as long as they do not advertise a specific brand, and social media handles are permitted as flair. All posts require flair.

Before you post: Advertising a product or brand is banned. Product lists are allowed and encouraged if not directly advertising a brand. Social media handles are allowed as flair. All posts must be flaired.

The rules, in their words

1. No asking for/giving medical advice.: Asking for medical advice of any kind is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to questions such as: > What’s wrong with my nails? > Why are my nails this color? > How do I fix this thing about my nails? > How do I change my nails? > Should I see a doctor? > Is this normal? Making posts asking for medical advice will get your post removed and you banned. Similarly, giving medical advice, warranted or not, will get your post or comment removed and you banned.
2. Credit the work of others.: ***Any content that's not your own must be properly credited IN THE TITLE OF THE POST***! If we suspect content isn't yours, and you can't prove it is, it will be removed. Inspo pics **must be credited in the TITLE**, including where you found it. The inspo pic must always come AFTER your nails. Eg, "My art VS inspo pic! Inspo from @nailart1 on IG!" or "What I got VS what I asked for, inspo from @nailart1 on IG!" As with all rules, your post's removal/punishment is up to moderator discretion.
3. Keep posts high quality.: Photos/videos that are too zoomed out from the nails, blurry/out of focus, or taken in bad lighting will be removed. The background shouldn't be the focus, your nails should be. We shouldn't have to zoom in to see your nails. Posts should not have any filters that lower the quality or otherwise change what the nails look like. They should be as close to what the nails look like in person as possible. Like every other rule, your post's removal/punishment is up to moderator discretion.
4. Be civil and respectful.: There is a **zero-tolerance policy** on anything that could be perceived as bullying, harassment, ridiculing, trolling, or any actions that target an individual negatively. This includes, but is not limited to: insulting an artist's work, criticizing someone's preference/style/color choice/length preferences, criticism when none is asked for, racism/sexism/homophobia/bigotry. As with all rules, your post's removal/punishment is up to moderator discretion.
5. No AI creations (human work only!!): No photos made with AI are permitted to be posted. This will result in an immediate ban.
6. Stay on topic.: All posts must be related to nails (hands and feet). Any posts that could be used to show off other objects (body parts, cars, children, pets, etc.) will be removed and you will likely receive a warning. As with all rules, your post's removal/punishment is up to moderator discretion.
7. No NSFW content.: Keep posts/comments safe for work. Anything sexual, graphic, or explicit will be removed, including any posts depicting dangerous, risky, or illicit activity. This includes, but is not limited to: fetish content (discrete or not), sexual posts/comments, use of drugs/cigarettes/vapes, posts taken while operating a vehicle, etc. As with all rules, your post's removal/punishment is up to moderator discretion.
8. No advertising.: Content posted purely to advertise a product, account, or code is not permitted. ***This includes market research for your brand.*** Product lists ARE OK and ENCOURAGED, so long as it’s clearly not advertising a brand. Example: >OK: “I used Essie's Wicked." >NOT OK: “Polish is from my shop @brandname!" / "I used Olive Ave Aster. Use my code ‘save$' at checkout to save!” Social media handle as a flair is OK! As with all rules, your post's removal/punishment is up to moderator discretion.
9. No trolling and/or spamming.: You know when you’re trolling. We know when you’re trolling. See rule 1 “Be civil and respectful”. Report anything you feel violates this rule. Like every other rule, your posts removal/punishment is up to moderator discretion.
10. No distributing personal information.: This includes names, addresses, phone numbers or links to websites that provide similar information, such as Facebook, iCloud, or Google. This applies to sharing private information about yourself or others. If you disagree with this action, you can message the mods. Please include a link to your post so that we can see it.
11. Flair your posts.: Flairs serve as a way to let users know what your post is about. Flairs are a requirement in this community. If you need help figuring out how to use flairs, please reach out through MODmail!
12. No politics.: No political posts, political keywords, or political debates. Like every other rule, your posts removal/punishment is up to moderator discretion.
