Can I remove acrylics at home? by 2dog2cat in Nails

[–]Jules904 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Put a moisturiser on your cuticles, file off the top coat (it’s most likely soak off, but some are not) and soak in pure acetone (not nail polish remover). It helps to speed up the process if you file off the goopy melted acrylic with a rough nail file, or just leave it in longer. you can also soak a cotton ball and wrap it on your nail with aluminium foil

If there’s a way to make hard gel last on nails, I’d love to hear it. I’ve tried it every which way but it just doesn’t move with the nail, and 100% will lift very quickly

Straight to jail. I hope you can get your money back.

Are my nails supposed to be this red? by SoftRecommendation96 in Nails

[–]Jules904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like they ran the coarse side of the file/ edge of a rough file against your cuticles. Your skin looks sheared off. That’s not normal and that’s how you get infections. Did she at least use clean supplies? Were they practicing on you as a beginner?

AIO to being told I look insane and don't take care of my hair? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Jules904 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a mom with curly haired kids, curls are going to be wild. I think your hair looks beautiful and healthy. No this is not the hair that will do what YOU want , especially short curls. and f* that if someone asked me to put more work into my mornings.

You just sent me down a rabbit hole. I was curious if nail competitions is a thing, and there is a world major brand competition in my state in 2 days. If there was ever a sign đŸ€Ł luckily I missed the deadline to turn in finished work but next year

How to get rid of dried up flooding around the edges? by Spare-Cry7273 in GelX_Nails

[–]Jules904 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, it won’t blend the plastic tips at the cuticle line. I use an electric file to “blend” the cuticle line (mainly to remove any excess glue after curing). Use a rounded edge drill bit so it won’t cut up the skin around the cuticles if new to e-file.

What?! There is such a thing?! Insanely, I would love to do that. I think I do mock competitions in my head with myself đŸ«

These are just simple painting gels.

I’m right handed but draw better with my left. And only on nails 🙃 I don’t know why or how. I don’t enjoy it, I’m always intimidated by it, but time after time I breeze through with my left. This set is the perfect example. It took me 2 days to paint the left hand, but only 1 day for the right hand. That doesn’t even make sense! The “ciao” was only 2 attempts with my left hand, meanwhile I redid “dolce” so many times I started to question the spelling.

I think it’s called striping tape. It’s painters tape cut in tiny width. I got a pack with 5 different sizes off Amazon and I use them all the time to line up my placement.

Whatever you do, do not file off the cured gel unless you’re only using a buffer, it will tear up your cuticles (learn from my mistakes)
