I could never get this level of care and precision in a shop. Wow!
I usually like alot of designs on my nails, but i'm really getting into more simplistic nails lately. So thanks for sharing your nude polishes! Love this set.

Hi, do you put gel on your nails and cure and then the nails, or just prime and prep?

I do both. If you want them to last longer, I recommend putting the gel on your natural nail, then cure first

Could we just use a regular UV lamp? Or does it have to be the one you used?

Doesn’t have to be this lamp however it must be powerful enough to fully cure the gel polish you are using.

So, I went on the hunt for your tips. It’s hard to find a Apres sculpted stiletto dupe. I’m curious to know what your backup is going to be?

How strong are gel x compared to acrylic
@ariiana.nicole
19 күн бұрын
I've never used acrylic so I can't give you a detailed answer. However gel x works really well for me and I've never had breakage or snapping 💕
The only thing I dislike about this gel x thing is what if you use a gel color to paint? Do you have to soak them off every time you want to change color? Wouldn’t that damage your skin/nails?
@ariiana.nicole
15 күн бұрын
Good question! You can do fills & color changes, but to get them off completely you would have to soak them off. I personally have not experienced any damage to my skin/nails and I do one soak off a month. A peel off base coat is also an option which would eliminate the need to soak off the nails.

So nice!! I’m a beginner in gel x, absolutely love doing them, but finding the actual tip sometimes breaking off or chipping, so I’ve resulted into adding a layer of builder gel on top before gel polish. Do you have any tips on how to get the tips to be stronger/ last or any branded tips you’d recommend?🫶🏼
