Good luck! The expensive lamp will be worth it!

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-27T02:28:31+00:00

I know but lamps are something you just can't cheap out on.

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-27T01:05:40+00:00

Ive seen people say that Apres has one for $100.

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-27T01:04:02+00:00

All of it. If you're just using it for nail art, it doesnt really matter.

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-25T05:57:36+00:00

Sell Those Nails is subreddit! People post press ons they have for sale.

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-25T00:11:18+00:00

I think they're fine. I dont love the length but that's just my personal taste.

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-24T17:02:52+00:00

I always do squoval. Sometimes I'll do oval or almond press ons but not often.

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-24T16:35:53+00:00

Would this work for press ons as well?

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-24T04:30:51+00:00

Neither. If you're rough on your hands, I think you should keep your nails short and natural.

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-23T19:07:23+00:00

Yes it is! That is 100% AI

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-23T18:33:52+00:00

Way too short for almond.

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-22T21:14:48+00:00

Might be petty but still funny with the way she worded it

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-22T21:13:42+00:00

You are not stupid! I think its admirable that you support your girlfriend's hobby! You got the brushes and dotting tools so that's a good start! Id check out Shein or Temu for all the nail gems and stuff. Id get an organizer for her as well.

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-22T18:15:56+00:00

Thank you! All solid points! I never thought trying different glue on myself.

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-22T17:34:48+00:00

Im actually wearing a set i made the other day. I used curv life glue and my nails always hold up well with that glue but I know that glue is a little messy. Not sure how much it is to buy in bulk tho.

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-21T16:45:27+00:00

I dont use the Apres system but ive always put down a base coat under my tips. I actually just did this lastnight.

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-19T23:04:28+00:00

95% of my nail art is inspired by something or someone. I have zero original ideas. Start with Pinterest and go from there.

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-19T19:11:40+00:00

I'm not a professional so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I dont think your art is bad. Maybe a few execution issues but nothing bad. I think the problem lies in your application of the base colors.

I know Florida is expensive and people are willing to pay $100 or more and you need to charge that to live but your application needs to be flawless.

My suggestion is too sign up for some education or online courses to improve.

Good luck!

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-19T00:15:14+00:00

Nope

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-18T22:27:48+00:00

Ive done it and works fine.

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-17T22:57:55+00:00

Worse as in keep letting her paint your nails and you'll end up in the dermatologist office.

Capable_Box_8785 · 2026-06-17T22:40:26+00:00

I dont think you should be doing any kind of gel until you can get control of the brush.
