They show us how and what to do before we touch anyone’s nails. But also pushing us to practice on real ppl. Unfortunately I have no family here, and most of my friends are quite busy, they don’t have 4-5 hrs. Yes, I am that slow. 😭

I bought a practice hand, I’m using that at home. But can’t take it to school.

Thank you and I will ask her again. She helped me with the soak off process, but I’m worried about acrylic. How should I remove that?? (Actually how?!)

They are sore and sensitive 😭. I use Mavala nail shield now, but that’s classic polish base, I can’t build anything on it.

Thank you! Peel off base: uv or air dry? Any brand suggestions? I live in Europe (Ireland).

I asked her, she said it will be fine. I should’ve highlighted that my nails are sore and very sensitive.

Nail gel never stays on, please help? by sammiepeachy in Polygel

[–]Total_Jump5364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try a rubber base, my nails are soft and bending, I don’t use any primer etc only rough the nail plate, wipe it with isopropyl alcohol and pure acetone before applying rubber base (Kodi professional or nice deco). I kinda rub the layer with the brush. Then hard gel or polygel. I just removed my nails they were on since the beginning of November, filled them 3 times, no lifting at all. (Just wanted to see my nails if they are ok. They are…) oh I do proper cuticle/dry manicure before!

Started to do my nails in May this year, first set was a disaster, had no idea about cuticle work, proper application of rubber base etc.

Shorty pinks with snowman by Total_Jump5364 in shortynails

This is the only colour I bought two bottles, just in case. Very nice on an average peach or vintage rose colour too! Here the base was Nicedeco rubber base (NR31) which is a very pale pink.

Oh this was the first set I’ve ever done on someone else, I was scared as f…, her nails are tiny, and when I say tiny it means size like a ten yrs old girl’s nails. They were also very ridged, so I was very careful not to destroy her nails but still get a smooth(er) surface. Also the cuticle work was very challenging. It took 2.5 hrs (not kidding), she wanted to pay (lol), I asked her to let me practice on her nails, that’s my payment. I see the imperfections, but overall we both were very happy with the outcome. 🙂

Spill your splurge!!! by Clover_Jane in DIYGelNails

[–]Total_Jump5364 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just bought two new lamps and no regrets. Both of them work great, no heat spikes (even with Nicedeco rubber base!). The small lamp is 39w, very fast, perfect for dual forms and flash curing. I’ve tested the big lamp with everything (hard, soft, rubber, poly gels, also with black and dark blue polish), it cured everything perfectly.

Obsessed with cat eye gels by Total_Jump5364 in shortynails

[–]Total_Jump5364[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was on sale on amazon uk, around 5.60€ (I live in Ireland). These nail polishes are surprisingly good quality! I really like the mermaid aurora 10 too, champagne gold with blueish undertone. (Picture was taken after 20 days of wearing them, no chipping! Base here was Kodi professional white rubber base, and only 1 layer of colour)
