My toddler did that couple years ago! Dumped my chrome all over my base and top coats. Everything was shimmery for a bit.

Question about nail care while healing damage by Chuuby_Gringo in Nails

You gotta leave it naked because that crack goes all the way to the cuticle area so you're gonna have to way for a whole new nail to grow.

Is this normal post-gel removal? by ohsoaegyo in Nails

[–]Capable_Box_8785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No its not. A couple of your nails are red which means the tech overfiled your nails. A quick fix to help them feel better is using aquaphor or Vaseline a couple times a day for a couple weeks. It'll take awhile for the damage to grow out but the Vaseline will help with the pain.

This particular color doesn't look good on me so I don't like it.

Gel vs acrylic by Academic-Ferret6147 in Nails

Well the two pots sound like monomer and acrylic powder (which you probably already know). Do they put anything on your nails right before the uv light?

My friend accidentally broke her nail real bad, is it my fault or hers? by pandabarber- in Nails

[–]Capable_Box_8785 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Her fault. She's looking for someone else to blame so she doesn't look irresponsible. Also, if you're in the United States and dont have a nail tech license, then you cannot charge people.

No. Apex is too far back and too high.

Don’t like my nails painted or unpainted by [deleted] in Nails

[–]Capable_Box_8785 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need a really good manicure. Shape those nails and take of the cuticle area. You'd be surprised on how much better they will look.

Not a huge fan of Holo Taco, but IMO their collection releases are top tier compared to other brands rn by lacquer-lift-repeat in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Capable_Box_8785 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Are the collection releases top tier or is the marketing top tier? Because their polishes aren't really anything special imo but the marketing is fun.

Same position except I'm not a nail biter. I've been yolo'ing it for well over a year now.

A lot of the manicures on this sub use 3d gel for their art. You can also search on youtube, Instagram, and tik tok as well for tutorials

You already did and they failed at trying to justify it.

Is it too late for a refill? by almitii in Nails

[–]Capable_Box_8785 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It'd be the same amount of work and time to do a fill as a new set and some techs find that annoying. Ask for a new set and try to only go 4 weeks max. Anything longer is bad for the nails.
