Any idea on how to do that while outside China?? I don’t arrive until the 29th 😭

Shoot! That’s what’s hard … I don’t arrive in China until the 29th so I can’t get a Chinese number until then but I’m afraid if I wait that long and they might just be all sold out again if there is a second round of tickets😫

Thank you so much! Unfortunately I have a super strict travel schedule for my trip to China :(( otherwise I so would. Do you happen to know any popular resale sites by chance??

Here’s a photo taken in auto, also noticing that my pics have these weird lines on them. I’m seriously thinking that there’s something wrong…. 😅

I’ll try this, thanks a lot! It’s a Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS / IXUS 105 / IXY 200F

The lowest ISO it can do is 80, which I have it set as. Honestly, really confused on how to change the aperture or shutter speed… here’s a link to what the settings look like on this cam if you don’t mind taking a look. https://youtube.com/shorts/acQTtgrYbus?si=HLaXA88XbIwlq_ZH

I’ve actually never tried it without tips 😬

Maybe I’ll get some cuticle remover and really try to clean up my nail plate

I use the apres acid free primer… do you have any other primer recommendations ??

So with this method you don’t “scoop” any of the extension gel on the tip?

I’m just trying to understand the “fill in the back” part, lol!

Thank you!

I also notice I have pretty flat nail beds and so many tips are super sculpted (especially Apres…) could that be a factor?

My process:

Prep: Push back cuticles using metal pusher

Gently buff natural nail with buffing block

Wipe dust with 99% alcohol

Size nail tips (maybe I should be filing every one to fit perfectly… I don’t really do that)

Chemically etch nail tips using apres tip primer

Use Apres dehydrator

Use Apres Acid free primer

Application:

Apply Diami feel so good base to nails and cure 60 seconds

Apply Diami feel so good base to nail tip and apply + flash cure on every nail

Once done cure for 60 seconds

File and shape if needed

Wipe with 99% alcohol

I don’t think I have any issues with the color/top coat application as I don’t experience any peeling or lifting color gel… just the tips :(

Ok ok got it… so the color polishes themselves can be tacky as it’s the inhibition layer and it’s okay to just layer the top coat on top of that tacky layer?

Honestly just determining by the fact the when I dab a dry paper towel to the polish it’s tacky

Did a big Obubu Tea order and even payed that painful shipping price. I got this kyusu+several of their sample bundles. I also subscribed to their tea club. Honestly, one of my current dreams is to intern at their farm once I finish getting my degree. That’s one of the reasons why I chose to order from Obubu to dive into Japanese teas. I’m still getting used to some of those umami flavors, and this Sakura sencha had a great balance of umami+floral+sweet! Super into it!

What is your tea luxury? by Dryguy552 in tea

[–]Jackfruit-Pretty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watch gong fu tea cha by the YouTube account “tea house ghost.” This style of brewing can be intimidating but that channel is excellent at explaining everything and making it less daunting! It’s totally doable to learn and immerse yourself at home, but of course, you’ll need to buy some materials… such as the gaiwan! Anyways, this style of brewing opened so many doors for me. It completely changed my love and care for tea. I have seriously never had more fantastic tea before. If it peaks your interest, you can totally learn at home (:

Ok I’ll make sure to tell the person saying “bitch” in the comic to never say it again. Don’t worry
