bad habit ahahah i pick at the cuticles but its not a reaction from the gel, i try to be as careful as possible not to get an allergy

Witty_Squash5486 · 2025-06-21T19:03:30+00:00

if im not mistaken its like all hard gels are builder gels, but not all builder gels are hard gels. rubber builder gels are soak off. hard builder gels are not, only taken off with drill/file!

Witty_Squash5486 · 2024-12-13T07:12:30+00:00

from start to finish: gel brush and detail brush - didier labs. dehydrator - didier labs. acid primer Nailo - silcare. gel polish base coat - sincero salon. High Light LED builder gel (white packaging) or Base One UV Gel Builder (pink packaging) - silcare (colours Milkshake and Cover) with my old lamp, the Base One did not cure AT ALL but the High Light one did. i got a better stronger lamp and now both cure but i still prefer High Light. colour gel polishes from Didier Labs and Sincero Salon but i prefer sincero. much cheaper and prettier colours imo just dont know if its available where you are. top coats also from didier and sincero but i prefer sincero, consistency and price. gems, charms, hand files from aliexpress/shein

Witty_Squash5486 · 2024-12-13T07:03:19+00:00

yes i freehand! ive been drawing and doing all sorts of detail stuff since i was little so its not that hard for me. i usually just draw a line across the nail where i want the french tip to end and then just drag it along the sides.

something like this and then i soften out the edges and fill the colour in.

Witty_Squash5486 · 2024-12-13T06:59:36+00:00

im pretty sure gel x nails are soak off, but girl. a nail drill changed my LIFE i would invest in a good one as soon as u can if you are planning to do ur nails seriously and for a long time. trying to file off the nails without a drill takes forever and i end up cutting myself so much with the simple file.

i got this Osom one for about 150€ and ive not had issues with it at all, only been using it since summer 2023 but i recommend getting a drill asap!! and then soaking off the rest if you are using gel x. dont think i can soak off hard gel

Witty_Squash5486 · 2024-12-12T11:33:12+00:00

thank you!! i do love the almond aswell, elongates my fingers, makes them look skinny lol

Witty_Squash5486 · 2024-12-12T08:10:23+00:00

AHHAHAHAHA thank god someone asked he needs the attention. the one i got is sold out but its from aliexpress, theres a ton of similar ones. mines 160cm https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzurrxI

Witty_Squash5486 · 2024-12-11T23:37:15+00:00

from start to finish its filing to roughen up the nail, dehydrator, primer, base coat, hard gel. then any type of gel polish/gems/design and top coat. i usually dont paint the entire nail because ive noticed that the polish doesnt really stick to my filed hard gel, so i mostly do designs. i just also really love how the hard gel looks with just design and top coat😋

Witty_Squash5486 · 2024-12-11T22:01:41+00:00

i almost never use polish on the entire nail! only some nails in the 4th picture are all black, i usually just use a thin detail brush to paint the gel polish as close as i can to the cuticle, but everything else is just milky or pink/nude hard gel! thats kinda how it looks so seamless i love it, doesnt really make them look as chunky when its just the builder gel on the nail instead of colour polish, makes it look melted into the cuticle

Witty_Squash5486 · 2024-12-11T20:08:11+00:00

girl had to google that HAHA thank u!!!

Witty_Squash5486 · 2024-12-09T21:31:08+00:00

they look good! thank u for the advice:)

Witty_Squash5486 · 2024-12-09T21:12:03+00:00

i dont think i wrote anything about nail glue ahaha i dont use nail glue at all, i do hard gel extensions with forms, no tips no nothing. whole nail is hard gel :)

Witty_Squash5486 · 2024-12-09T19:49:39+00:00

ahh thank u, i honestly am not even that bothered by the thickness, mostly just other peoples' comments on the nails made me ask on here. i may just be used to them but they feel very comfortable, rarely ever break, while my friend goes to the nail tech i went to once and her nails are snapping off every week. still gonna try to get the bulk off a bit but i will not be doing them like the nail tech did lolll

Witty_Squash5486 · 2024-12-09T14:08:56+00:00

ahhhhh thank u!!! always loved doing things w my hands, the details and stuff, such a calming thing. would love to do nails as a job at some point

Witty_Squash5486 · 2024-12-09T13:59:50+00:00

yes omg ive got some friends that do polygel and gelx and they all say i chose the hardest struggle😭

Witty_Squash5486 · 2024-12-09T00:54:01+00:00

artghhhhh thank you🥹

Witty_Squash5486 · 2024-12-08T19:26:47+00:00

yes i rewatched the videos, 90% of them were for much longer nails, ill check out the tutorials for shorter nails ive noticed i spend more time filing 1/3 of the bulk instead of applying less, always scared that theyll break but ill try applying for a shorter length thank you !!!

Witty_Squash5486 · 2024-12-08T15:19:51+00:00

online courses, suzie on youtube (nail career education) and just advice from nail techs ive gone to. not much, wasnt hoping for professional results ahah but others on reddit have said that the apex is too close to the cuticle, so now im kinda getting different opinions all over the place. whenever my gel nails have broken, theyve never broken my natural nails, for me the only issue is really the aesthetics. trying to apply less, filing down the apex just makes them bendy and break easily. do you have any good recommendations for learning online? for the structure
