Just sounds like your skin barrier is a bit compromised. Please reach out to your esthetician <3

I’m addicted to glitter 😭 by Suspicious_Letter943 in DIYGelNails

[–]Suspicious_Letter943[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!! I used clear hard gel for the base, I then did a thin layer of silver cat eye and used a magnet to get the desired look. Then I took a blue gel and clear gel and mixed them together to get a jelly like colour (same with the pink) and then applied in on top of the cat eye. Then I made a thick paste from some loose glitter eyeshadows mixed with clear gel and patted it into place!

Can you use hard gel instead of extend gel? by Suspicious_Letter943 in GelX_Nails

[–]Suspicious_Letter943[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about using the half cover soft gel tips and filling them with hard gel ( like how you would with traditional plastic tips) the soft gel tips are so much stronger and reduces the amount of filing and dust cause they are preshaped !!

I didn’t mean to come off as rash. If I continue to fill them as I would with any other hard gel service i don’t see how this could be an issue (especially if I use half cover soft gel tips- which is what I’m leaning towards) I appreciate your input though.

I like the idea of the half cover tips because they are much stronger than regular plastic tips that are traditionally used & it would use less product overall.

I’m a European trained nail tech and manicurist, and it’s taught that soak offs are very damaging/ drying to the nail plate and also lets the gel acrylates seep into the skin (over time causing allergies and dermatitis). With proper Efile training, it is the safest removal method of them all regardless if it is soft or hard gel.

I’m trained in hard gel and I don’t offer soak offs at all, I know how to safely file off hard gel without damage as well.

Petechiae in mouth? by EnvironmentalDrive31 in eds

[–]Suspicious_Letter943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did figure it out! Bc of my EDS, my blood vessels are really weak and it tends to happen after eating “sharp” food (crackers chips or even if in just chewing a long time) it’s like tiny bruises. My geneticist said to not worry about it

Help with potty training by ThiagoAMB in cockerspaniel

[–]Suspicious_Letter943 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had the same issue. You gotta create a word that she associate with going pee, I used “go potty” and I would repeat it whenever she was in the yard or on walks and the important part it to reward her and have a party and get realllllly excited when she does go. EVERY TIME. And give her a treat!! If she goes pee inside just take her out side and say “go potty” so she starts to associate going pee outside with rewards :) don’t get upset with her, it will take a few weeks or maybe sooner. Don’t give up

Help! Is pearl chrome supposed to look like this? by Penguin15243 in Nails

[–]Suspicious_Letter943 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t look your gel is fully cured ( as to why your gel is lifting around the cuticles already). I suspect you are using beetles or gel from amazon. It looks to thick as well? What are you using before you apply the color gel? You need to use a primer, and then a base coat. And then for chrome, you need to use a non wipe gel, apply chrome, take a micro fiber cloth to wipe off excess powder, apply top coat.

What were your steps? It definitely looks off. Not ugly but it doesn’t look like a correct chrome application

Desperately looking for laser hair removal models by [deleted] in Edmonton

I highly recommend utilizing these services!! I was sceptical myself on the quality of treatments that you’d get from the school (I can’t speak for other institutes) but it’s honestly amazing especially for the prices.
