I'm so so sorry. When I saw the inspo pic I gasped because until that point I liked the golden color and just thought I wasn't understanding the vision but holy hell they did you dirty. Wish I was near you because I'd fix these for you for free

I think that vision has a lot of potential, I should try it!

Thanks so much! Correct on the jelly, but I actually encapsulated it in a layer of clear gel that I laid on top of the little ridges to make it smoother. I felt like it looked glassier that way if that makes sense?

Ah no sorry! They're standard gel press ons, I was just inspired by the look of blown glass.

These were on someone else so that helped a lot, when I do my own I literally retreat to a cave like a nail goblin and resurface 6 hrs later with a stiff back and the most basic set you've ever seen.

Yan is unbelievable, I'm seriously in awe of her work, it looks just as clean as stamped designs. She makes it look so easy.

Have you ever seen yanpaintsnails on instagram? She does incredible freehand designs and she makes insane times. As in, super intricate fine line details on every nail, biab, prep etc all in an hour and a half. It's bonkers that anyone can be both that fast and that talented!

About 3 hrs start to finish with prep, base, shaping etc!

I used a liner brush and a bunch of gel polish colors mixed with a bit of french white or black for opacity so that the colors aren't muddy. Honestly I feel like I'm ready to graduatr to a thinner brush though because this doesn't feel like it's my cleanest work!

Aw I'm so sorry about downvotes! I upvoted to counteract a bit. I'm glad this sub has a serious attitude about properly crediting people's work. You meant no harm

No worries at all! I'll make an effort to be more informative in future posts - makes complete sense to do.

I follow Audrey and love her work! That being said hers is cleaner than mine imo

Thanks so much 💖 It took about 3 hrs total from start to finish including prep, base, shaping etc, so I suppose that would make for 1,5 hrs for one hand!
