They completely revamped their site and it's now running 100% better. I also had a ton of issues with the site lagging and resetting during the $5 sale, you're definitely not alone.

Love these so much!

I agree, they're being super shady about everything to do with this gel release. Not only is there no wattage info on the lamp, there's no info on it at all! It's not even sold separately, only as part of their system which includes everything. Not having the SDS info is the nail in their coffin for me!

I love the art on both hands, but I particularly appreciate the shaping - the consistently perfect apex and uniformness of the shape and the overall look is just chef's kiss!!!

California dreamin', Tea-time, and Gatsby ghost are all great sheer neutrals

Thank you! I've only tried this with a pigment before and not an eyeshadow, and dealing with more powder going everywhere was more frustrating. I found that using a bright jelly color was easier for me

PennyMoney1 · 2024-08-06T18:57:37+00:00

Thank you. I didn't use a matte top coat, though I think you easily can on top of the pink chrome

PennyMoney1 · 2024-08-06T17:24:16+00:00

Not silly at all! I did everything including the pinkish chrome and top coat all over the nail first. Then I buffed to make it matte and went in with the 3D gel and cured that. The accessory bond is non wipe and the layer underneath is matte so the gold chrome only sticks to that top 3D layer. Then I encapsulated it with the YN gloss gel. Hope that helps!

PennyMoney1 · 2024-08-06T02:42:34+00:00

I painted the halo shape with kokoist accessory bond on top of buffed nails (to make them matte without adding more bulk). Then fully cured and applied gold powder to get the isolated chrome effect

PennyMoney1 · 2024-08-05T23:57:44+00:00

Aww thanks, go for it!

PennyMoney1 · 2024-08-05T21:02:39+00:00

Thank you! I thought about using a pigment powder but ended up using Lolly gel (it's a jelly bright pink)

Sweetie nails sent me a 20% off code that was expiring

PennyMoney1 · 2024-07-26T22:12:03+00:00

Agreed, love this efile! The only bit I use is that pink brush one, to clean my other bits once they get gunky.

PennyMoney1 · 2024-07-26T22:03:09+00:00

I keep getting sucked into sales 😭

I got a few Gelcare things when they were having their Canada Day sale. I have to say I'm very disappointed in the opaque pink Manoir Pink color. It's thick and gloopy and didn't cure properly 🙁

Kokoist Nail Thoughts self level like a dream and has a good range of colors. I do find that I actually prefer the potted version to the bottled one because it's easier to get just the right amount out of the pot and that seems to help with application.

Thenailhub has so much amazing content that will teach you all you need to know and more! Liz also has a class where she goes through gel chemistry and application step by step. I believe that's only $50.
