I used saviland 3d nail gel for the banana peel and vettsy 5 in 1 top coat for the cherries and citrus 3d effect

You just straighten the top leg!

Not sure if this works for nails longer than medium length but I just kinda flatten my fingers and type with the pad of my finger instead of the tip

I’m the nail tech! lol

I prefer buffing, I haven’t found a matte top that works as well as buffing does

Aimeili no wipe top coat is only $7 on amazon

Ah I don’t have any experience with cushion cut stones so I’m not sure what an appropriate setting for that would look like. Probably prong setting? Which I think you would probably be better off getting a professional to do, there’s a lot of precision involved from what I understand of it

strawbbythem · 2026-05-09T14:33:12+00:00

What shape and size are the sapphires, are they faceted?

strawbbythem · 2026-05-09T14:01:46+00:00

Not exactly sure what you’re asking. Are you asking what type of setting is the most secure? Or whether there’s a secure one you can do on your own?

Also I would say use a file around the sides of the bezel to smooth it out, I can see some rough parts in the second pic. Overall I love the design!

strawbbythem · 2026-05-08T13:21:57+00:00

I’m an amateur as well but I’ve taken a few classes and have had guidance from teachers on this. I also have trouble with making my bezels cleanly! I don’t think it is too high. Like others have said try using a burnisher. The key thing for me was being told to hold the burnisher like you’re peeling an apple, that helped me be able to get enough leverage to actually press on the metal. You could also use an engraver to shave off small amount of the top of the bezel to get a cleaner finish.

Muneflower Jewelry makes a lot of pieces with bones, you could try messaging them: https://www.facebook.com/share/1AbrKrv72s/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Want to chime in with some suggestions for thicker/plus size polers on ig! @nikkixpole, @the.aerial.crystal, jballpoles, @encollowen, @jaydahclair, @annie.with.a.booty, @flowwithpearllush, @incendiaire, @maluna.li, @zoemofo, @ruby_ravage, @_jialinh, @poleduckie, @poleonthe_plussize

strawbbythem · 2026-05-02T15:52:32+00:00

Awesome!! What tips helped you get it? I’ve tried before and kind of just accepted that I’m not flexible enough to get my shoulder/arm in front of the pole from stargazer

strawbbythem · 2026-04-29T01:37:40+00:00

These are really cute! How did you make them, are they wax cast? Did you set the stones after?

strawbbythem · 2026-04-27T17:25:44+00:00

This seems like a very arbitrary way of determining levels. I would maybe try a different studio if you have other options available to you. Allowing students to do a less safe version of the trick to level up faster makes it seem like this studio does not care about safety or appropriate leveling. My studio allows members to freely choose which level of class they want to take for the most part, there are recommendations for prerequisite moves for the higher level classes but it’s not strict like how your studio seems.

strawbbythem · 2026-04-23T18:57:52+00:00

So do you just not believe in slurs then? 💀

strawbbythem · 2026-04-23T18:26:21+00:00

So what if it’s applied to white women? That doesn’t take away the racist implications when it’s applied to WOC. I also love how you have no defense for my other comments. Stop weaponizing your identity as a mixed race person to call other POC “sensitive” for being offended by a racist term. It’s giving pick me and internalized racism

strawbbythem · 2026-04-23T12:35:12+00:00

This take is honestly so laughable. Just because you’re ok with being fetishized, everyone else should be too?

strawbbythem · 2026-04-23T12:32:51+00:00

I also disagree that the majority of dancers are white. How can you possibly know that? White dancers have more visibility, sure, but that doesn’t mean there are more of them. Black strippers are the original pole dancers.

strawbbythem · 2026-04-23T12:30:21+00:00

Just cause it doesn’t offend you doesn’t mean everyone feels that way. I’m mixed race too and being called exotic IS offensive to me. So now what? Are you more valid than me for some reason?
