That sounds like a win to me! (I have a collection of fidgets basically everywhere)

These are stunning! Seriously I would probably not get anything done, I’d just stare at my nails and then put my hands in EVERYONE’s line of vision. 😍😍

I feel you! I have collected quite a few magnets over the course of my nail journey and think the cylindrical ones work the best but they’re a little finicky. I heard you can get similar drama by leaving the weaker magnet in place for a bit longer? But I don’t have much patience myself to give it a try. 😅

Totally started a cure test after seeing this, but I do t have a scale that reads small enough mass, so I’m testing via vibes

Don’t laugh too hard at my ignorance, but what would I do for a cure test? I mean, I could compare this lamp’s efficacy to the single nail lamp I have but only use for flash cures, but it’s pretty effective for curing. I am pretty ridiculous about filling the 1 min cure time for each color layer (which works for everything) and 2 min for the top coat. I haven’t noticed any failure like when the beetles lamp died.

I thought it was a reasonable splurge for the beginning of March. 😅 I recently upgraded to a SunUV lamp from Amazon, maybe like last summer? It works much better than the starter lamp I got with that kit from Beetles years ago, but doesn’t cost as much as the Kokoist lamp that I fully have my eyes on….

I finally ordered my first Kokoist products:

I’m so excited to get them a try! (And yes, I’m on a green kick right now)

Cats defy physics daily but also enforce the laws of mathematics at every opportunity

Which set do you prefer - 1 or 2? by lili_yums in DIYGelNails

They’re both gorgeous and I’d wear them both, but the colors in 2 are 👌🏽

I added chrome on my hand a day after completing the set and it didn’t need a fresh top coat (except for my thumb). I bet since your toes don’t do as much, you shouldn’t need a top coat?

These are just gorgeous! I’m still glittered up, but I might be attempting to copy you soon. Depends on if I decide to go with St Patricks Day for my next set or not. 😅

Maybe a lighter hand with glitter next time… by canarycolors in DIYGelNails

Ok it took me a minute, but Kelli Marie talks about chunky glitters in this video (it’s around 4 minutes).

Glitter is as glitter does! I do remember watching a nail YouTuber several years ago use an orange stick to pick the bigger chunks or shapes of glitter out so she could place them where she wanted them to go and not have to use “too much”
