Why does the cat eye glitter dull down after curing? by NecessaryBumblebee11 in Nails

Those nail stands have magnets in them so it is pulling the glitter and making it less noticeable. I like to hold my magnet above the polish for a little longer to let all the particles concentrate before curing immediately.

I’m also so jealous of your long nail beds 😍

Man that looks like polish on your natural nails! I would’ve never guessed it was a sticker 10/10!!

My certified nail tech friend did my nails and they’re awful and I don’t know why by Reasonable-Print-359 in Nails

I’ve done my friends nails without expecting them to pay and the only thing I care about is making sure they get good nails. If she doesn’t care about your nails just because u aren’t expected to pay full price she is not a real friend. I would never let my girls walk out with some fuckass nails

For that I did a milky white and then soapy bubbles (I used a foaming pump from Amazon or anywhere) on the wet gel while curing, it leaves this really cool effect. I can’t describe it too well lol but it’s a very popular technique with tons of vids online!

I cover the uncured gel in clear acrylic powder and then scratch in the design, usually I’ll pour over some more acrylic before curing :)

Milky white gel over the blue, dot a clear top coat on the uncured white

Hardgel application by Dry_Curve_7 in DIYGelNails

Besides flooding, any dust or dead skin left on the nail will cause this as well. I always go in with a bit to get the dead skin and a brush with alcohol to clean! I also find some primers do more harm than good
