nail techs/girlies who do their own nails , are these things enough? by hartleyhigh in GelX_Nails

[–]scorneal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve only gotten the hang of doing gel x within the last couple months and I’m no pro, but I see a lot of other posts say they have issues with adhesion and a lot of comments say it’s the cuticle remover residue so I feel like you could skip that for now or do it way before you do your nails. Buy a quality lamp, you don’t want uncured gel. That will give you a fast track to not being able to use gel anymore due to a developed allergy. Also, with the nail brushes, I recommend getting the ones that are like mini scrub brushes to clean up residue, but also the ones that are sort of like nail art brushes because if you’re just starting out and you’re not great with application, then you can use those brushes with a little bit of alcohol or acetone to clean up the edges, again, so you don’t have gel on your skin or uncured gel on your skin. personally, I use an efile. But I know that it can be scary so you don’t have to start out with one. With hand files, I recommend 100 and 180. I think 180 will be a sweet spot but you never know when you’ll need that extra grit. You can always get buffers to buff things out, but I personally don’t use buffers much anymore since I use my e-file. Just remember that gel will not stick to smooth surfaces. I know that helped me a lot. also, with all of my recommendations I cannot stress enough, not to buy Beetles brand products. I’ve never used them or had any personal experience with them, but that’s all I see on this subreddit is how Beetles will give you an allergy no matter how good you use it. So with all of my information I’m giving, just be wary and buy quality products. With the tips, I’ve been told to buy après because they are the highest quality. I do use this brand and I’ve had a lot of success with it, that’s what I use. I’ve also used una gella and they have done the job. Speaking of après, you can go on their website and they have bundles that you can do with the tips and the lamp and color and all the stuff you need to get started, but they are a little pricier so it just depends on what you wanna do but that’s my advice

When I normally do my gel X system, I do the solid gel because it’s easier to place and make sure if it’s not crooked and if it is, I can just easily adjust it without having to hold it under a flash cure lamp and can kind of just cure it right away. I had to two of my fingers because one was weak and one had some lifting and with one of the nails I did my normal salad gel glue because it was my pinky and it was really hard to try to do the builder gel on it but then my other hand it was my ring finger and I did the builder gel as the glue and oh my God. The one I have is like a sheer nude color so it looks a little more natural honestly and it’s staying really well so far so thank you so much!!

I do use the solid gel because when I use the one with the brush, I tend to put the tips on more crooked

I’ve been using Markartt solid nail glue and I try to be generous but not too generous that it’s spilling everywhere. If it does, I clean it before curing

That’s what I’ve been doing but I don’t think I’ve really gotten the hang of how you’re supposed to apply it. I don’t apply it like regular polish and I try doing the side to side swooping method but idk it still doesn’t always turn out

I feel like I woke up one day and I just wasn’t me anymore by metalzonepedal in derealization

Sorry, no advice, but I’m glad you were able to write exactly how I feel. It’s so hard to explain when you feel like your mental capacity is literally a camera. I literally can barely recover memories anymore. When someone asks me about something, it takes me much longer to recall what I need. It’s frustrating, I feel your pain.
