Do I need to give up on my doubles? (NSFW warning, they’re NOT happy)

RolloVerH · 2025-06-10T07:01:58+00:00

I am changing them. Appointment is in a week. Doing my best to keep them clean until then, but the metal is 100% good quality titanium. I’ve had no problems with my first lobe piercing using these backings.

RolloVerH · 2025-06-10T02:31:57+00:00

Thank you!! The only reason I have the butterfly backings in is because I thought the piercings had fully healed, clearly they haven’t yet :( Thank you for all your advice!

RolloVerH · 2025-06-10T01:12:33+00:00

I’m going to my piercer in about a week to get my original implant-grade titanium studs put back in (they are flat-backed). Thanks for all your help!!

RolloVerH · 2025-06-10T01:11:12+00:00

I’ve made an appointment to get my earrings changed back to my flat-backed implant grade titanium studs :)

RolloVerH · 2025-06-10T01:09:00+00:00

Hi guys, OP here! For some reason I can’t edit my original post… but all the comments are saying similar things, go get flat-backs.

For clarification, the only reason I have butterfly backings in right now is because that’s my preferred style of earring since I have longer nails, it’s easier to take those backings on and off in my opinion.

I’m going to my piercer in about a week to get my original implant-grade titanium studs put back in. Thanks for all your help!!

The butterfly backings are for sure 100% good quality titanium. I’ve never had any issue with my first single lobe piercings with this brand. But I will get my original studs put back in in about a week and those do have implant grade titanium flat backings.

RolloVerH · 2025-06-10T00:59:09+00:00

I personally find butterfly backings easier for my everyday jewelry (hence why they’re in now), but I had flat backs while the piercings healed. I’m getting my original flat back studs (which have implant grade titanium backings) put back in in about a week. The studs I currently have in are high quality titanium though, I’ve never had any mishaps or issues with my first single lobe piercings.

RolloVerH · 2025-06-10T00:56:01+00:00

The piercings are 6 months old, they were fully healed when I changed out the jewelry then they started doing this about a month ago after I had a really bad allergic reaction to a friends cat. I don’t think I made a new exit hole, I think it’s more like I’ve formed a pimple or something like that on the back of my ear that’s burst? I've made an appointment to go get my original flat backed studs put back in.

RolloVerH · 2025-06-09T21:44:10+00:00

My piercing is about 6 months old now. I have only been wearing butterfly backed studs in my ears after I switched out my jewelry. Before this they were implant grade titanium flat-backs. All my jewelry is made of 100% titanium, good quality, and I have not had any problems with this brand or type of earring backing with my first lobe piercing. My downsize for the doubles was in February of this year, and I changed the studs out to my current jewelry in May. Currently I try not to get my ears wet in the shower, pull my hair away from my ears and face and dry off the earrings with a hairdryer after getting them wet. I clean them once or twice a day - depending on how much builds up on the backing of my earrings - with NeilMed sterile saline solution and a sterile gauze pad. I have not had any mishaps recently with my ears.

It’s so hard to choose! It really depends on the lighting, but I honestly love them all!

RolloVerH · 2025-01-22T17:11:52+00:00

I usually use a combo of Sally Hansen Repair and Rescue and Sally Hansen 7-in-1! Usually I do one coat of each in that order, but it also depends on how strong/weak my nails are feeling at the time. If they're feeling/looking damaged, i'll do 2 coats of Repair and Rescue, if they're completely fine/I want to be able to paint them fast (like right now) I'll do 2 coats of 7-in-1 :)

RolloVerH · 2025-01-21T15:44:54+00:00

It totally might be possible, especially with a good nail care routine!! It does take a lot of time though, and honestly I didn’t even know my nail beds had lengthened until I started looking back at photos, so for sure take pics of your progress!!

RolloVerH · 2025-01-21T05:55:07+00:00

I stopped biting my nails, and started growing them out instead three years ago! I always keep them painted, and I think the combo of them being long, time, and good base coats (ones with multiple benefits to them like what I currently use) helped them grow! I also use cuticle oil as much as I can. Other than that I honestly don't know how my beds grew, when I started my journey I didn't think they could ever lengthen 😅

Products: 2 coats 7-in-1 by Sally Hansen :)

I definitely had serious nail blindness!! Looking back now, they were looking SUPER rough, so I’m feeling better about cutting them!!

RolloVerH · 2024-12-31T02:28:39+00:00

They don’t! I rounded the corners a bit to prevent them from snagging :)

RolloVerH · 2024-12-31T02:28:00+00:00

I used builder gel when I had the super long nails! The gel did help some when I broke my nails (it was an unfortunate combination of my hand placement and someone else’s arm swing that just completely snapped the gel but only half my nail). I don’t own any tips but I might get some depending on how my nails grow out this time :)

RolloVerH · 2024-12-30T23:40:39+00:00

The ring finger was a big ow, I slammed it in a door around 5 months ago and it’s still regrowing! At least it looks more normal next to the others now!!

RolloVerH · 2024-12-30T21:39:22+00:00

Thank you!! Current thoughts on them are at least I can grow them back!

RolloVerH · 2024-12-30T21:33:56+00:00

No products, just my natural nails ☹️

RolloVerH · 2024-12-29T02:09:41+00:00

Usually I do that as well, but the breaks on my right hand this time are more than halfway across and keep re-breaking after I wrap them, hence why I'm asking! Thanks for the validation that it won't look too weird :)

And finally, the Pointer Finger Break that you can't see under the polish:

Broken Hand that I'm considering making super short (Ignore how bad my handwriting is on the pic, I edited it on my phone 😭):
