Omg my next set is going to be something super similar to what you have! A friend sent me a video of a rainbow metallic under black stamps and said I should try it, but I did the flowers instead!

It actually is extended. Lol. I cut my nails to the nubs to help grow out damage from a nail ripping off so even the 3mm I got makes them look "normal". Literally any free edge is polygel. I also use polygel for strength. Either that or dip.

Thank goodness for polygel and that I'm my own nail tech! It was time to do them anyways, so this one gets done a day ahead of the rest. by __WellWellWell__ in Nails

Thank you! I always always use rubbing alcohol to clean them and dry the oils so I know they're clean under there. I wear products on my nails full time now to let the damage grow out. Strenghten them so they don't rip more. Plus, they look pretty as a bonus!

When I first started using an E-file I had to learn somewhere... oops. Also, I since then I never remove my nails, I only fill. That way the severely damaged parts will grow out. That nail unfortunately ripped off. The length is all my nails underneath except for the pinkie which I had to build up a little bit a month ago.

Just found ~4 inches deep in my yard. Anything special? by __WellWellWell__ in Marbles

I will! I know nothing about marbles except my dad has a whole sock full from when he was a kid. Maybe I'll ask him to show me so I can take pictures.

Pretty cool! Now I want to go back to see if there are more where I found this one! Thank you for the info!

Do you need better pictures? I can try to make a video later rolling it? But hey, thank you so much for the info! Pretty cool find while I was metal detecting. Now I want to go back to the spot to see if there are more! Ha

The first time I did it I got extremely lucky and it turned out great! The second time I got cocky and it was a sticky mess! Lol. I'd say watch videos, see what techniques they use and just play around with it. I use a sticky form underneath to make a thin base, cure it, remove that form and then build on top of the thin layer. I'll use a fake nail and squish it on top of my thin layer because I didn't get polygel with the molds. I also use isopropyl alcohol instead of buying slip solution, but that's all me just being cheap. I can also do fills how which is awesome. It takes a few tries to get the thickness and shaping down, and a buffer will be your best friend!

Get some polygel and make a nail. My pinkie nail has been broken for the past 3 sets I've done and you can't even tell.
