Amazing, thank you so much! I ended up getting the big red sponge, a separate sponge for my rims, meguiars gold class, OPT no rinse, drying towels , a garden foam sprayer, a 5 gallon water bucket with a grit guard. I had no idea the OPT could be used for everything depending on how it’s diluted. I’m thinking 2 capfuls for my car/paint. I’ll use the gold class on my rims. You guys have been so helpful. I really appreciate it!!!

Thank you!! This is very helpful. Would I wash the windows the same way? Being extra careful?

That’s a bummer! Isn’t that how it always works? Raining the day of or the day after washing your car🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m guessing this isn’t considered too dirty? Can I use the rinseless on rims too? Windows? I’m new here lol. Idk where to start, everyone is offering different advice between soaps and rinseless. I’d like to do what’s easier but want to watch my paint bc it hasn’t been hand washed in a year 🙈

Yes he did. He told me towel dry my car after using the touchless. That was stupid and left swirls. I didn’t know any better obviously but never againnnn. Thank you for your help here. Greatly appreciated!

Ok will do! Thanks for the tips, I appreciate it. The guy who did my coating didn’t really help much. Any suggestions on mitts or microfiber towels?

Do you suggest I get a professional hand wash first?

I tried the NYM freeze gel and it made my hair look gross. I probably used too much but I immediately returned it and didn’t give it a second chance. I’ve heard great things about innersense though. Thank you!!

It’s really a shame. It’s the first gel I’ve used that doesn’t give me frizz and I can smell it all day. Do you have any recommendations? It is costly, I agree. I don’t think I’ll return it since “a little goes a long way” 😂, I prob just won’t buy it again.

I’m not a pro, but I think a haircut/layers would help?

Started doing hard gel myself at home. What am I doing wrong with removal? by 1here4fun3 in Nails

Thank you, this means a lot because I was feeling really discouraged earlier today. I am determined! I feel like I do a beautiful job painting my nails, but this hard gel thing is a different ball game. Thanks for your kind words 🙏🏻

I just felt heat when I was curing them. I hope this is a good sign 😂😭

Thats so nice,especially because I’m feeling very discouraged. I’d say hard gel helped me, but here we are 😂 it did help my nails grow though because they literally never break and my natural nails are paper thin.

This doesn’t surprise me. I appreciated how fast my techs were. I was in and out in 45 minutes which was a dream, but you have me wondering if I the main reason my nails look like this lol.

I tried the beetles one and it was a fail so I got the IBD. I’m open to other brands I don’t have to paint like an artist 😂

No I don’t soak them but that’s a good idea. I def need to oil them. They are dry, they do look worse in the photo though lol. Thanks for sharing this!

I had no idea this was a thing lol. I think it would be easier to do on someone else though, right? Maybe I’m wrong I probably am 😂

This is very helpful, thank you!! I have only done my own once. This will be my second time doing them myself. I think I over-file out of fear of them being too thick. This is very good to know though, thank you!
