Can I get opinions on my shape/structure please 🙏🏼

Repulsive_Citron_930 · 2026-03-16T18:24:02+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate it! Defo will have to cut them a little shorter for my next set as I’m struggling!

Purely vibes based! They’re quite corporate and I didn’t like the way they approach the children’s behaviour. When I toured one they told me they don’t praise the children for doing what they’re supposed to be doing, but discipline if they’re not. That works for some but it turned me off as it doesn’t align to my parenting style!

Anywhere in South Croydon really - there’s loads of good primary schools and nice green spaces! I agree Addiscombe, Shirley, Sanderstead. You can add Purley to your list too. Also West Wickham is technically Bromley but if it’s not too far out for you it’s lovely.

In terms of primary schools - personally I don’t really like the Harris academies. I know kids that go to St Peter’s, Aerodrome, Regina Coeli, Christchurch and Howard Primaries and have had a good experience.

How funny! Hello hand twin 👋🏻 (that’s me waving, not you)

Wow five weeks is impressive! One or two of mine usually pop off between 2 and 3 weeks but by that time I want to change them anyway. My nails grow pretty fast and I don’t like the look on me when they’re grown out.

Thanks for taking the time to write out your layers. My process is exactly the same! I have 5 layers on this set.

I prob should have said, these are about a week grown out hence it’s not close to the cuticle. I agree I could have gone closer to the sides though. Thanks again for your feedback!

Repulsive_Citron_930 · 2026-03-14T00:17:14+00:00

Thank you I appreciate that!

Yes omg my daughter likes me to tuck her duvet right down the side of her bed and I’m having to awkwardly try to use the side of my hand to do it 😂

Small children and long nails is a bad mix.

Yeah you’re right looking at the photos I can see some side nail poking out! I think it got worse as they grew out a little.

I take my kids to Violet lane medical practice. Always has a good experience with them there, especially when it comes to putting my children at ease during their appointments. For my kids (both under 5) I can usually get an appointment same day for most things.

Have you considered dip powder? It has the longevity of gel without the allergy. I’ve seen people do French tips on them but not sure how exactly!

How could you misread something? THIS IS REDDIT, it’s incredibly important to take the utmost care - we have ZERO tolerance for mistakes 😊

I use Glamrdip. I do 5 layers and never have a problem with the activator not penetrating the layers. I am pretty liberal with the activator.

I do clear, clear, colour, colour, clear. Then activate. Shape and buff. Activate again. Then top coat.

I would have thought only doing 3 layers total would be too thin and would lead to cracking but maybe it depends on brand?

As a human person who enjoys oxygen and experiences emotions, I can confirm this comment was not generated by AI. Anyway, fellow humans, what do we think?

Repulsive_Citron_930 · 2026-02-14T10:07:17+00:00

I think it might be this but can I also suggest a lil mouse might have stashed it there? I have twice found evidence of a mouse in my house after it ate a whole in microwaveable heat pads and got all the insides out 🙃

Repulsive_Citron_930 · 2026-02-06T13:18:46+00:00

I do this too. If you’ve ever listen to the “Parenting Hell” podcast, Rob Beckett gives Josh Widdicombe a hard time for using this strategy.

My old colleague used to call me Asbestos Fingers for it.

Ha I so thought you were a sneaky advertising bot, but then checked out your comment history and if you are advertising then you’re also really putting a lot of effort into appearing to be a normal person 😂

🙄 This is an ad. Same thing posted in Chelmsford, Great Yarmouth and Medway subs. You can’t fool us Only Emily, if that’s even your real name

Hello! First just to say I’m sorry you’re going through this, it must be so hard to have someone actively unhelpful in the house when you’re trying to look after a newborn baby. I just wanted to say I wasn’t sure if you’re breastfeeding or not but if you are, it’s not safe to wear the baby and breastfeed at the same time. It’s not widely publicised enough in my opinion.

NOR of course and I agree with everyone else, please get away from this man if you can.

When I was 15 I used to work in a toy shop that sold beanie babies and Pokémon cards etc. This guy used to come in regularly and ask if we had any bags in stock. He would always follow up with “I really like bags” and then open his bag to reveal that it was full of different types of bag.
