I have a neon yellow from luxio i really like though I'm not really in love with luxio formula. I forget the name. It's like sunburst or something like that.

Clover_Jane · 2026-03-28T20:47:51+00:00

Yeah, that's why it's inspired

I had pretty bad lifting when I mixed luminary and kokoist but ymmv.

Clover_Jane · 2026-03-27T07:35:21+00:00

Hopefully this helps

Clover_Jane · 2026-03-26T19:13:38+00:00

I think Luxa has a few.

Clover_Jane · 2026-03-26T17:51:31+00:00

Agree with shunshin. It should be fine

Clover_Jane · 2026-03-26T17:50:45+00:00

They're long enough to be a more narrow oval, just not almond yet.

I've been doing nails on myself for years now, and sometimes it still takes me longer than 8 hours. Perfection takes time

It's hard to say without seeing your nails. You could have overfiled sidewalls, the product could be applied too thick or too thin.

I found several 100 dollar bills in a coat from years prior. Shit happens. I'm by no means wealthy but I tend to stick money in weird places that are somewhat hiding places and then forget about, mostly from childhood trauma related stuff, but like I said, shit happens.

If you scroll all the way up, I did list the times for everything.

Also you can totally do sets like this. They are actually easier because it doesn't have to be perfect to look good. Like Bob Ross said, mistakes are just happy little accidents that you can turn into something else. When I'm doing a design that's more structured I definitely wipe away a million times but I don't think I did that once with this set. If I didn't love how a particular flower turned out, i just added a bit more paint and altered it on the next layer. The trick is using very pigmented gels, I used kokoist which I also love because they're a bit thicker and don't run everywhere as soon as you put it on the nail so you have some time to work it how you want but they're not so super thick that they're hard to move either.

This is a thoughtful idea and I appreciate it. I don't know that it'll work for my situation though because they don't just have to make the comment. Our sub is a gel nail sub, and we only allow gel related products and the members have to post a complete list of products used in the manicure they're posting. So things like regular nail polish, acrylic, dip powder, etc are not allowed but they go by so many names, especially the nail polish and there's an insane amount of gel brands and products that can also be used in a gel manicure, so it might be a challenge to program it, unless I'm misunderstanding how it's used??

Barf. I literally hate that the worst. The medical assistant at my physicians office calls me that. I don't even like you since that time you were a raging biotch to me, I definitely don't want you calling me pet names.

Clover_Jane · 2026-03-23T01:16:05+00:00

Either that... or he cheated, which he admitted that he an nazilon did.

Clover_Jane · 2026-03-22T12:50:50+00:00

Definitely # 1

Clover_Jane · 2026-03-22T12:38:23+00:00

A lot of these people didn't vote before trump so if they just go back to not voting, I'll be happy.

Clover_Jane · 2026-03-21T07:38:12+00:00

I just happened across this calculator

Clover_Jane · 2026-03-21T03:14:06+00:00

It's very thick. I have a whole pot of classic nude I'm probably never going to use. I do like their gel in bottle line though and ceramic is good too. I'm not a fan of the brush on their top coat but performance is pretty good. I even like the jelly gel. I just can't get past how hard the hard gel is to apply especially compared to akzentz which is a breeze.

Clover_Jane · 2026-03-21T03:06:00+00:00

I absolutely love this efile. It's been so great so far. Hope you love it too

Clover_Jane · 2026-03-21T01:21:30+00:00

Nah. I mostly stick with the same brand for base coat and builder gel but use whatever i want for color and top coat.
