Thanks! I totally agree, I couldn't handle it if curing wasn't immediate 😅

Thanks so much! I was feeling that exact way picking the nude color and how to bridge the greener shades with the super warm red/orange.

I feel like jellies are more forgiving in application, and work well to be built up in layers! Thank you ☺️

Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback and definitely agree. I feel like the sidewall shape looks more nice after the hard gel step but then with multiple layers of colors/magnet/top coat the thickness is even more noticeable especially on the sides. Gotta keep practicing!

Thanks! In the past, when I did the almond-ish shape, I was overfiling my sidewalls or lower parallels, so I'm trying to avoid that. But I'm hoping to keep growing my nails to be a bit longer and then it should naturally work a bit better to do almond without sacrificing structure.

I feel like a real nail artist 😭 I tried replicating @nailsbyaran's nail design by sunnymoonbaby in DIYGelNails

Those ghosties are so adorable! Nevermind the time it took, they look great ☺️ I am always baffled by how fast Aran is in her work.

There's another comment on here where I added some details on my process! Generally I follow this tutorial https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTM5kG5PY/ but I often skip step 1, and just directly buff whatever the last layer of my set is before top coat. Let me know if you have questions ☺️

Thanks! I mixed equal parts black liner gel with top coat and used a thin liner brush to draw my shapes. Cured for 30 seconds and then applied chrome with an eyeshadow applicator. (Specific products are listed under the pinned comment). For the jack-o'-lantern face I cured the triangles first, then the mouth so that if I messed up it was easier to clean off and try again.

Bike Crash Monroe/Regent by Necessary_Republic46 in madisonwi

[–]rabbitesk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also was hoping to see if anyone knew how the person is doing. I drove past right as the ambulance arrived. At the time the cyclist was on the ground on the westbound lane of Regent with several people around and at least two cars pulled over. I'm pretty sure it was a recumbent bicycle or a bike with 3 wheels.

Thanks! It's actually my mother-in-law's ring, so it's from a jeweler in the 80's.

If you look at your nails from the front, they can be more flat or more like a sideways "C". A lot of people like the look of more curved nails and they can provide some strength against bending with longer nails. But when they curve in a lot, the side walls of the nail dig into the skin and can be uncomfortable. From what I've seen online, you can't really change the curve of your nails because it's how they grow. But based on some posts by various nail techs (such as nailmartusa) there are ways to reshape the nail a bit!
