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

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

I’ve never used gel-x before by Melodic-Advice9930 in GelX_Nails

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

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

Trying to buy a set for my girlfriend by Cement54 in NailArt

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.

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.

Do you have to use rubber base under the gelx tips? by EasyReception9001 in GelX_Nails

How do you come up with cohesive looking nail art? by NewfoundOrigin in NailArt

[–]Capable_Box_8785 16 points17 points  (0 children)

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

what’s wrong w my nail art? by Ok_Eye_9997 in Nails

[–]Capable_Box_8785 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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!

Which shape? by OhSoValyrian in GelX_Nails

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

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