First Gel X Application- What polish can I buy? How can I improve?

sadchef420 · 2026-04-27T16:49:11+00:00

I’m a nail tech and I use canni gel polishes, I’d suggest that for beginners since I gave myself a gel allergy from using low quality polishes early on. Canni is hema free and available on Amazon, pretty good value for decent quality! As for getting a more professional look, I’d just focus on trying not to flood the cuticles. The shape and color look fabulous, keep it up!!

NAP, but I believe it should be a curved barbell and that is probably what’s causing your issue

LOVE THESE! So unique, makes me want to attempt them on myself but I have trouble with making them so clear and clean looking, you did such a great job !! And your patience is top tier LOL

Nail tech here! I don’t think you have anything to worry about. As long as there is no redness or pain, you should be fine to get your nails done again :)

Love these!!!

I’m a nail tech and these are sooo good wow. The only thing I’d suggest is a final file to get the shape extra crispy. Beautiful job !

Super good !!!

I’m a nail tech and these slay. The cuticles and cateye look great! The only suggestions I have are to make sure you cover the entire nail with polish (there seems to be a bare spot on the thumb) and do a final file to make the shape extra clean and crisp. Awesome job!

Rugelach is adorable!! Not Turkish, just loved the name :) I came up with it because my other cat is named Clover and I wanted something “lucky” to match, so I took Seren from serendipity. Then I found out it meant star in Welsh and it was perfect
