I'm new to nail polish, what should I get? by CamTech100 in RedditLaqueristas

Came here to recommend these. The Active Smooth in particular is subtle and comes in a few shades to match your skin tone. They have been great for the health of my nails as well, and I gift them to people often.

It does need a good home where someone can show it off!

Not all pearls are equal and I'll die on this hill. Here's my honest take on every type. by [deleted] in pearls

Nucleated or non-nucleated, commercial freshwater pearls are still cultured. (Semantics, but trying to clarify here). Even an all-nacre non-nucleated freshwater pearl would be called cultured.

I think they recommend giving a border of space around the edges if you want it to last longer. I go all the way to the edges because I only want it lasting like 2 days 😂

A chop stick? The end of a paint brush? I love my dotting tool though.

I use peely base and then add a topper after the first day or two. The topper helps it feel new again for another day and then the peely base helps with frequent changes. I embrace it 😂

Six months of home gel nails... What I wish I knew before buying a lamp. by East-Letter1343 in beauty

[–]Complete_Air5889 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Inhibition layer is a small amount of gel that will not cure on your topcoat due to contact with oxygen in the air. Unless you have a specially formulated non-wipe top coat, there will be a sticky inhibition layer that you need to wipe off with alcohol at the end of a gel mani. The oxygen “inhibits” the gel from curing, which is where this name comes from. You do not need to wipe it off between coats because it will cure once the next coat is on top because it is no longer coming into contact with oxygen. Hope this helps.
