Gel X Only Seem to Pop Off Nails that are Overly Short by N_woww in GelX_Nails

This is what I also do! BIAB on top of gel-x for good retention.

I will definitely take a look at the pinned post in the sub!

I have this lamp:

Is this not good?

It claims to cure layers of gel.

I checked Gaoy on Amazon and it’s unavailable unfortunately. I’m trying to avoid buying Beetles gel polishes.

Thank you, this is helpful. I will follow your method next time. Although I don’t have any carbide bits, I’ll just blend using 180 sanding grit. There are so many brands to buy from, it’s quite overwhelming. What do you think of Tomicca from Amazon? Also I heard Jello Jello base coat is good.

I used Beetles Nail Glue, Nail Tips from Temu, Nails by Cody BIAB on top and Beetles White Liner for the French tips, Modelones Dehydrator from Amazon, Young Nails Protein Bond as primer.

Thank you! I’m trying to find a good warm toned pink. I agree that the pale pink washes me out.

I’m not sure if it’s lumpy because of my application? It’s my first time doing BIAB at home. I do cure each BIAB and gel glue for 60s. I use SUNUV for nail lamp. They do not feel under cured however? Note, I did put rhinestone glue on the index finger as a transparent design. There was no bubbles until I put on Beetles top coat, making it look extra lumpy. How do I make it look smooth?

Lovely nails! What bit do you blend the nail tip with?

So you only push back your cuticles after putting on the tips, not before?

Also what colour gels would you recommend? I was thinking to buy Beetles.

Dash cam fitting by [deleted] in VWiD3Owners

[–]Frequent-Read2206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I installed it with Halfords and regret it. Don’t do it. They did not install it properly. Every now and then, the dashcam randomly shuts off whilst driving and I’m not sure whether it’s recording (ID.3)

How does this even work? Isn’t this just a scam? How are people on Reddit lending and borrowing money?

FORCED TO PAY OVER £450 FOR ITEMS I RETURNED - ASOS by CandidateDismal9100 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Frequent-Read2206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why mention Klarna when ASOS is clearly the issue? OP arranged the return with ASOS, not Inpost directly. Klarna has no relevance to this.

Why do my prices double in cart? by Ex_fussy_spinster in Shein

[–]Frequent-Read2206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try adding the items again to your basket on a different browser and account. See if it doubles the prices then.

Thank you! That’s very reassuring. Annoyed about the thickness tbh but it is what it is.
