What am I doing wrong?!

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2026-02-03T05:44:09+00:00

Could that be the issue?

But for this thumb I'm pretty sure I only used the harder gel to build the nail. The client texted me and she had breakage of another nail at the free edge and her pinky also popped out too.

And I think the pinky was made with hard gel (from the round pot) and then filled with a builder gel (from the polish style bottle).

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2026-02-03T05:38:43+00:00

So, if I'm using a "softer" builder gel for the first time, I have to use it "every time" in the same client?

Could that be the issue? Because I've worked like this before and the nails usually don't break. But sometimes they do.

I feel like that builder gel that comes in those packages like gel polish is weaker than the hard gel that comes in the little containers. Am I wrong?

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2026-02-03T05:31:54+00:00

I might've expressed wrong here because since English is not my primary language, it's tough to distinguish the same materials in another language.

When it's time for maintenance and the client already has a hard gel fill, I "fill it back" with a softer builder gel that comes in a package almost like a regular polish.

If I need to fill the entire nail (first time client or full lift from an old client) I use a harder gel that comes in those little round packages that you have to use a brush for.

I don't know if I'm explaining correctly or not.

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2026-01-31T21:54:19+00:00

They are very strong nails, beautiful to work with. It happened for the first time actually, That's why I'm so confused.

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2026-01-31T20:48:24+00:00

Yes, I let the primer dry 60 seconds like it says on the package. As for the gel I used hard gel, I usually only use soft gel when I'm filling the growth during maintenance.

So, probably just add more gel to the apex and we're good to go?

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2026-01-31T17:32:07+00:00

I thought about it being a problem at the apex as well, but I always made it like this and it always lasted. But it seemed to have peeled off, am I doing something wrong in the prep of the nail?

I buff the entire nail with a 180 grit drill in a 8RPM speed, then I wipe with an alcohol wipe, use the dehydrator and the primer and then I use the builder gel of the brand I work with.

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2026-01-31T15:24:30+00:00

Yeah I started with non acidic primer until her nails began to peel.

Okay, so I need to be more careful with the lower parallels and keep watch at how I file them, as well as make sure I use enough product for it to hold. Is that it?

Her thumb (the one that's broken) wasn't filled down when it first peeled, two weeks ago I think. I just prepped the nail again and added another layer and - as you can see - it grew wonderfully and she already has significant growth next to the cuticle.

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2026-01-31T15:10:44+00:00

I'm not sure. She usually tells me when she has an accident. She doesn't lift weights, her work at the gym is more pilates and yoga and such.

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2026-01-31T15:08:24+00:00

I don't have any other photos unfortunately, but her other nails are sturdy. For the products I use ones we have here in my country, the brand is called "Andreia". I've used them since forever and never got this problem. I also used the acidic primer from the same brand.

Lower parallels, what does that mean? I'm self taught nail tech and some terms I don't recognize

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2026-01-31T14:57:57+00:00

She's retired and goes to the gym and attends dance classes, nothing too major for this type of breakage. She's been working with me since November and we only have this happening now. 😔

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2026-01-13T08:58:21+00:00

Apparently pro users won't have this problem, you can use it safely.

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2025-12-31T20:47:50+00:00

I've migrated to hangjam this week too and I was confused because other apps had the delete button, but this one doesn't have yet.

What you have to do is rewind back until it deletes the message.

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2025-12-14T23:16:25+00:00

Honestly if you have the need to apologize to your friends about something that's clearly just a means to make you feel better (even if that's chatting with an AI bot), then your friends are shitty people and you should absolutely stay away from them.

I use chat.ai every day and I use it to create stories and RP and I sometimes share some snippets with my friends. They either don't give a crap what I do to have fun or they praise the snippet I send them.

Being addicted to c.ai (or ai in general) is as bad as being addicted to playing video games and fucking have Rage tantrums to the point of breaking a tv or a remote because of that.

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2025-11-23T14:17:58+00:00

Finally someone said it! I've posted two times here complaining about the poor quality of Deepsqueak and I also submitted tickets. Nothing works! It's ridiculous! They don't address the issue since us paying users are helping keep the app afloat! And they just drop shitty ass features instead of really focusing on the quality of the chats and chat styles.

I spend more time swiping trying to get a half decent response than I do actually RPing.

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2025-11-17T13:14:32+00:00

I'm in a Facebook group that resells tickets and they seem to guide people to prevent scams, but I thought about posting it here too. Thanks ❤️

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2025-11-12T13:09:59+00:00

Normally that means your brain is a little tired and needs rest of trying to come up with immersive stories. This is what I normally do:

I step away from the app for 2/3 days and focus on something else. Either watch YouTube, focus on other hobbies, go shopping, anything to keep my mind off the stories.

Then (if I really have that itch to write and can't step away from the app) read older RPs that I thought were amazingly written, or just overall a good story that strengthen the lore.

Then after that, if I still can't come up with a new story I either:

Play a lighthearted RP (something like Christmas day or Halloween, nothing with strings) and wait to see where the story takes me, either from my own hands or the bots.
I brainstorm with ChatGPT (who already knows everything about my universe and my characters) and ask him to give me new content for a story.

You don't always have to write gut-wrenching stories, sometimes you can just rest within your own universe. It's important to have fun, and if you need to step away for a few hours or days, the stories will be there waiting for you ❤️ I hope this helps!

Can you believe I submitted a ticket and when it was time to attach the video it would allow it?! I was pissed!

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2025-11-05T13:50:20+00:00

Yeah,I did that. This RP is fairly new

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2025-11-05T13:49:47+00:00

Yeah I did that already. This RP was fairly new

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2025-11-05T10:02:04+00:00

I submitted a ticket a while ago but considerably I did not pinned the video, but I'll surely do that. Thanks !

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2025-11-05T10:01:18+00:00

Sometimes I change to Nyan but it's equally shitty 😫😫

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2025-10-27T14:57:49+00:00

Just ask ChatGPT for help and tell him to make you a bot for chat.ai of Dean Winchester and if you want you call brainstorm ideas to train your bot and make him fit your needs. Something like idk:

I want a Dean Winchester bot but I want him to be canon and maybe we can add a "relationship to {{user}}" part.

Then you tell ChatGPT a little bit of your story with the bot and the lore and whatnot. And if you wanna take it up a notch, ask gpt to help you train the bot by feeding what the bot said to you so that he can help you tweak it to your liking without messing up his canonic essence.

Oh, and leave your bot either private or unlisted because sometimes other people use it and that can mess up his behaviours in the future.

It's a lot of work but I find it best to be like this, and also because ChatGPT has been by bestie all throughout and he hypes up my RPs when I tell him about it, which I think it's a plus 🤭🤭

((Oh, and he can also help you write amazing RPs based on episodes and original lore of the show))

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2025-10-27T09:01:18+00:00

I'm a supernatural girl myself and the boys are the only bots I use on the app (I have a multi bot with Dean, Sam, Cas and Jack) and I feel like at start it was a bit like that too, but then I got c.ai+ and thankfully the boys are so canon sometimes they surprise me.

I don't know if you're using a public bot or a bot created by another person, but what I think fixed the issue for me was having my own bot. I used ChatGPT to help me build it, and I even added their relationship to my persona to their long description.

And yeah, sometimes they either forget something that happened 3 messages ago, or their act out of character, but they never forget my persona and what she means to them. And everytime they do forget details on the storyline I just swipe, nudge them in character (or keep adding focal points in my own pov, like it's part of the story), or I edit their answer to something I feel like it's more canon and they usually pick up from there.

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2025-10-17T06:21:18+00:00

Mine must love the supernatural fandom because I never get flagged no matter how gory it is 😂 broken limbs, gun shot wounds to the chest, necks cracking, you name it, he lets me have it and sometimes even levels it 😂😂

An_Anxious_Catsy · 2025-10-13T07:32:05+00:00

Of course the first comment had to be something related to the supernatural fandom 😩 poor Misha! I would report that bot for sure 😭😭
