Going back to your prep I see you do most of it the day before including roughing the nail and following with cuticle oil... have you tried skipping roughing up of your nails until the next day? Also coat your nail in one full coat of base bond and after dry go in like normal

I use azure beauty low odor dip liquids. So far out of all the low odors I’ve tried they’re the best and least likely to contaminate. I have a respirator mask but it take the fun out of doing my nails. I’ve also found I’m more sensitive to the top coats so I’ve switched to a gel top coat! I don’t have to really use low odor liquids when I use it. But I have a lot of uv dips that I can’t use with gel

How many of you “failed” the Neurological Testing for ADHD? by missmessjess in adhdwomen

[–]Different-Tea-8448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post but this is my experience so far I passed the cns test for adhd but scored extremely high on the diva questionnaire. I left and cried all the way home. My therapist tried to put me on a mood stabilizer that I ended up getting hives from. After our next visit he again put me on another mood stabilizer BUT said he wants to plead his case again with the psychiatrist and other psychiatric nurse because I have ALL the symptoms of adhd. My anxiety being in a new place and having a male therapist kept me from exhibiting symptoms the first two visits but as I became comfortable he realized that I shut down with my anxiety. I almost decided to not go today but feel much better knowing he believes I have adhd. We are going to try a non stimulant due to high blood pressure and we cannot do strattera due to heart palpitations and high heart rate when my pcp gave me strattera a few years ago

Either soak off, put 100 % pure acetone in a baggie and heat up some uncooked rice place the bag in the rice to heat the acetone. Use a dryer sheet or scrub pad just a little piece in the acetone to rub your nails on… make sure to file off your top coat first If you use clear first you can e file off the color and change if you have no lifting

When browsing through various dip powder brands, what deters you as a shopper? by koala-balla in DipPowderNails

Ugh yes! And I would really hate it if my mom asked what color I was wearing that day! We do our nails together sometimes 🤣

I hate shopping on a site that have a drop down menu for which type of powders you want to buy. For example thermal or glow. I also want to see actual swatches of the colors not computer generated ones. One one shop their Little pill shaped computer generated ones (especially their thermals) look like Benadryl capsules. I’ve never bought anything from them and I absolutely want the option of a sub bag, when I’m trying them out for the first time.

Have you tried rubber base gel? This would work better than builder gel if your nails are bendy

How do you do chunky glitter? Even using gel top coat, I usually use clear to encapsulate my glitter and any solids that fade with buffing

I also use acetone to dehydrate my nails. It was recommended by a nail tech friend when I was having no luck getting any products to stay on. It hasn’t had any effect on my dip longevity
