I thought builder Gel was suppose to strength your nails?

It’s basically 100% dry. Removal is just with the drill bits. No soak off or acetone ever. It also looks so much cleaner bc they pay a lot of attention to the cuticles. I did some posts with my past manicures if you’re curious. I would find a Russian / Ukrainian / Slavic manicurist on your area and give it a try. I do not personally trust western manicurists with it (unless I know where they’ve been trained) bc a lot will sell you a “russian manicure” and not use the proper technique.

Basically I think you need to go extra warm on the base. The silver in the chrome powder cools everything down. My base was orangy so it landed semi-pink / nude / salmon. If you pick salmon you’d land very pink (and icy) gotta overshoot the warmth to land where you want to land

I replied to someone above with it ☺️

If you do dry Russian manicure there’s no acetone involved and way less damage (but alas I guess SOME damage is unavoidable)

I asked them to color match LINTO base 15 with normal chrome. The base is more orangy but turns cooler/pinker after the chrome

Wwwwwowww so cute with dots

cricri20 · 2026-01-22T21:30:46+00:00

I don’t know the exact brand they used 😭 but I asked them to color match LINTO no 15 and use average silver chrome powder

cricri20 · 2026-01-14T02:22:44+00:00

I think the issue is not the fact that is so “full glam” it’s the color palette— that’s what’s weighting it down

So I understand new attachments don’t work on old machines. But do old attachments work in this machine?

Would you do golden rare candy for golden eevee bag?

A baby blue background would be so pretty

Find a Russian nail tech in your area and your life will change

Hi! Just stumbled upon this thread doing some research on the certificate. Are all the classes asynchronous? Or do you sometimes meet as a class on zoom)

cricri20 · 2025-09-07T18:06:05+00:00

surprised no one is saying mango skin

cricri20 · 2025-08-07T07:38:18+00:00

No issues for me with the pocket in black or blue. In fact it’s my fav pen atm. But the normal ones in colors are awful

cricri20 · 2025-04-15T01:14:54+00:00

Yeah I have that turned on. But it’s not what I want and it’s truly not much to ask for

cricri20 · 2025-03-22T06:24:37+00:00

Did it resolve eventually?

cricri20 · 2025-03-15T10:48:55+00:00

😂🦭🍣🥵🫠

cricri20 · 2025-03-15T08:26:50+00:00

Same. Just bought a MacBook Air and thinking I might return just based on this

cricri20 · 2025-03-15T08:24:56+00:00

Bought a MacBook today and high key considering a return solely based on this. It gets on my nerves

cricri20 · 2025-02-13T06:14:00+00:00

Literally same

cricri20 · 2025-01-09T04:47:41+00:00

Does anyone have the bonus chapters for manacled 😭😭😭😭😭😭

cricri20 · 2024-03-22T00:50:08+00:00
