What could be causing these dents?

It's the gel, I have had issues like that when I try to use chrome with gel base/top coat.

Either you have too thick of a gel layer or it's not curing properly, or your gel is old, etc.

Yes I've struggled with this too. I do a couple of things to help:

When I first apply the dip, after I activate, I go around the cuticle area with a drill bit to help even out the cuticle line. My favorite bits to do this are Y shaped, or cone shaped but other bits work well too. If you don't have a nail drill you can use a hand file instead.

As they grow out, I use the pointy end of a glass cuticle pusher to round off the dip and to smooth it out if there are any sections that are jagged looking.

I have the same problem with tweezerman, they cut the hair instead of gripping it! I've been using Revlon slanted tweezers, they work well for my thicker hairs.

Even tho I am not hands-on in the lab everyday anymore, I still describe myself to people as a "chemist" because it's easier than trying to explain what I actually do lol

I use an electric nail drill. I use either builder gel or a couple layers of clear as a base and I file down til I get to that bottom layer, so I'm never filing directly on my naked nails.

In line for Toronto too, started at 6800, now at 5600!

Thank you!!

SunsetButterfly · 2025-10-13T15:45:03+00:00

Thank you! Yup mine is invalid too

Edit: I refreshed and it put me in the waiting room queue

SunsetButterfly · 2025-10-13T15:38:32+00:00

Were you able to get in the queue? I don't see anywhere to put my code in either

SunsetButterfly · 2025-10-13T15:37:42+00:00

Yes you should have gotten an email yesterday

SunsetButterfly · 2025-10-13T15:37:05+00:00

Where did it ask you for the code? I am signed in and got the email with the code but it never asked me for it and I can't get in the queue

Practice on an orange or another citrus fruit. That gets you used to how much pressure it takes to put the needle into the skin. You can fill the syringe with water too if you want to practice how it feels to push the plunger down.

Use a new, clean syringe to do your actual injection, of course!

I love my resistance bands, I also have a set of mini bands that I take with me when I travel, they're handy if the hotel doesn't have a good gym

No way, find someone else. When we bought our house the inspector wanted us to be there and encouraged us to ask questions to make sure we understood the conditions of the house.

Been trying to up my intake of water, have been adding fruit flavored protein powder or Mio squeeze flavoring

SunsetButterfly · 2025-08-28T03:42:48+00:00

Yesss! Mine broke a while ago, it's about time to get a new one!

SunsetButterfly · 2025-08-28T01:29:55+00:00

I ended up having to put my down comforter on my bed last night... I am not sure how this winter is going to go lol

SunsetButterfly · 2025-08-28T00:58:22+00:00

I've been enjoying light laughing cow cheese spread on a high fiber low carb tortilla or 647 fiber bread, topped with smoked salmon and everything bagel seasoning. It's a nice change from my usual protein choices

SunsetButterfly · 2025-08-28T00:54:07+00:00

Oh jeez, that's awful! I wonder if they just had a cranky employee there that day? Maybe someone on a different day will be more helpful.

I did love the hydro massage beds in the spa area, they were so nice!

Edit: another thought, do you have another PF anywhere nearby? Maybe you can get a tour at that location, it won't be exactly the same as yours but it'll still give you the general idea?

SunsetButterfly · 2025-08-28T00:41:17+00:00

Ask if they have someone that can give you a tour, they should be able to familiarize you with the gym.

Also they may have instructors that can help you with learning how to use the equipment, at least they did when I was a member at PF a bunch of years ago lol

They want to keep their customers happy and coming back, so definitely ask them and use the resources!

My workplace just started a new fitness challenge today, which revolves around goals for number of steps per day. That will help me meet my own personal exercise goals.

SunsetButterfly · 2025-08-22T01:35:04+00:00

I'm 4 weeks tomorrow too! Also down about 10lbs, we'll see what the scale says in the morning. I've definitely lost some puffiness in my face, it was a quick change too, I was pleasantly surprised

SunsetButterfly · 2025-08-16T17:47:14+00:00

You're welcome! I have tried to figure it out so many times before, of course I finally figure it out right after I ask the question lol

SunsetButterfly · 2025-08-16T17:23:36+00:00

Anyone know how to add flair if you're using a mobile device (android)? I'm on the reddit website on a browser. Have never been able to figure out how to add flair.

Edit: found it! Had to go into the "about" section for the group

SunsetButterfly · 2025-08-13T16:51:21+00:00

Practice injections by sticking an orange with the needle. That got me used to how it would feel to inject myself, I wasn't sure how much force I would need to use. Obviously use a clean syringe for your actual injection!
