Try using the thick extend gel they offer now.. it really helps.. I use different brand but it's a gamechanger.. if you want to use the regular extend gel increase the amount you use it basically eliminates air bubbles

They look so beautiful when you do them 💜

What drill bits are these ?

Just got the whole kit so excited 😍😍

💕these are so pretty

I bought my natural tips and did it last weekend I did a TON of prep around my cuticle and followed all the directions. Most of them started lifting within a week...even tho I got the natural ones there was a TON of space between top of extension and my natural nail. Not put enough product there were bubbles and then i iput more product it oozed out the sides. I hate it because they are such a pretty shape and look so much better than lumpy dip powder. I worked to file critical line so it fit and the sides covered sidewalls completely. I don't know what to do😢

Did you use primer, and dehydrator then etch the tips??

@elizabeth9841

I've been having the same problem and I think the key is getting the glue right and taking your time with the application before you cure. You should be applying the extension slowly and carefully and trying to make sure there aren't any bubbles and before you start curing and if it's not right try again adding or taking off glue from the extension. I've tried like 3 times in the past week and I think my problem was not bothering to check the application was perfect before curing

By far the best system, anything else - even dupe systems - damages my nails.

Does cuticle prep and using just a buffing block work for etching the nail? I’ve tried this and my nails do not last. Is there a recommended grit?

@torischwartz745

Жыл бұрын

For the cuticles u need to have a pusher or an orange wood stick to expose that dead cuticle once it is you can go in and use 150 buffing block or file to gentle go around the cuticle then lightly remove the shine from the nail Make sure to use a cleanser on the nail plate like yn swipe or u can use 91% alcohol I dehydrate then bond and prime my natural nail only For etching the tip a diamond bit works best especially a long flame bit that can get into the pinky nail very well to etch or u can chemically etch the nail with a primer I do both if I do gel x nails hope this helps hun or almost forgot u have only 14 mins from the time you remove the shine to finish prepping and gets the nails on otherwise our natural oils start to come up to the surface of the mail again 😊

@@amalasiridepending on the quality of your gel and the condition of your nails, you may not need bond and prep. Some nails need all the adhesion help, and some don’t. Use alcohol to cleanse after removing all cuticle from the nail plate and “scub” the base into your nails. If they lift at the free edge, you need more adhesion help.

So my coworker in insists that you should use a sanding band on your e-file to rough up the nail before application. I've always just buffed away the shine with a medium buffer. Is there really that much of a difference? I just feel that I'm damaging the nail plate less using a buffer by taking off less

You need at least 180 grit on your buffer to ensure there is enough texture to adhere. You don’t want to buff the nail plate smooth. You can focus the buffing on new growth only so you aren’t removing layers from the older growth every time.

Flash cure is juat a quick cure to hold the product in place but it’s not fully cured. You can use a big lamp to flash cure, but the small lamps may not be strong enough to fully cure the product and this will eventually cause skin problems.

Like Lee Press On Nails? They’d work with the cheaper plastic tips…I don’t think they’re meant for nails with an apex. So you’d want flatter nail tips like from Makkart or something like that. These are soft gel, not plastic.
