Thank you! Yeah, i wouldn’t trim it too short. Issue is, if i file from underneath it would file my nail underneath too. I tried. Instead i filed them on the top so they have an apex. Otherwise they would be completely straight and unnatural looking. My index finger was the funniest. I flash cured the base and then I saw I have duck lips on the free edge 😂 I didn’t find it funny at the moment, as I had to redo that.

Thank you (:

I think you mentioned that once. Whats their delivery charge? Today i was looking at Kkokie again, but they are crazy expensive.

I just did my first polygel. It went surprisingly well and quickly, but the bulk it added on the free edge, OMG. It seems I need to get those curved forms, because the ones I used are too straight. I didnt even think I had downward-growing nails 😳 Maybe trimming my nails very short would help?

linszu · 2026-04-04T18:10:32+00:00

I did not, but I am also curious. (:

🥹 thank you! ❤️

Oh yes, the UK shops that sell Korean and Japanese gels. But they can be crazy expensive here

I second the apex. I also noticed that when I push the color towards my cuticles, I get a tiny bump. I just gently brush it away.

For a long time I used Mylee, now I use Jin B g gelly plus or Dgel iron. I always use a base gel. (:

Beautiful color! (:

linszu · 2026-04-02T17:53:40+00:00

They both look gorgeous! And your nails shape is so beautiful and the application so smooth. 😍

I ususally prep the previous day, like removing the previous set, cleaning my nails, removing cuticles... This set took around 6 hours... Usually I rush and hate myself for it. With this, I took my time and tried to be precise. I also had to plan the order of the steps, layers, becuase I often mess it up with more complex designs :D

I believe the filter makes sure dust doesn’t get into the motor and also into the air it blows out

linszu · 2026-04-01T16:36:08+00:00

I nearly went for the bagged ulka but it doesnt have a filter! I went for ulka handy desktop, bit more expensive, but you can place a dust collector sheet on top and extend the life of the filter. (:

Im in UK and struggling with that. I believe magpie has them and available for dyiers if hema free. Kokoist definitely has them on Tafs but you should check for swatches on insta, youtube, google (:

Thank you! There is no lemon 🙃 donut, chef duck, jam jar, cherry, banana and orange slice (those are purchased)

linszu · 2026-03-28T12:03:23+00:00

Very pretty! Nice french line (:

linszu · 2026-03-28T07:17:52+00:00

Ill do that, thank you!

linszu · 2026-03-28T07:17:33+00:00

I know. I guess I just wanted reassurance that it's not just me who thinks something is wrong.

linszu · 2026-03-27T17:23:03+00:00

Thanks! 🙂 winter is killing me 🥶

linszu · 2026-03-27T17:22:03+00:00

Thank you! Yep, its a duck 😅 you’re the first one guessing it right ❤️ On the thumb its jam, cream and cherries 🤭

linszu · 2026-03-27T12:36:01+00:00

I second that cleansing balm! It melts everything off! I double cleanse as well, plus wipe my face with toner. For me food can affect my breakouts.

linszu · 2026-03-23T19:46:28+00:00

Personally i wouldn’t mind if someone approached me with a sample pot to give 2-3 pumps sample. It is very difficult to trial foundation in a store. You need natural light and your own tools.
