I have a few questions. When doing 3D chrome designs, all the videos I’ve watched so far say I should flash cure, then apply the chrome. Does sculpting gel actually fully cure once I put it in the big lamp after applying chrome? I was wondering this when I did my first chrome design, but I plan on doing chrome for my next set and wanted answers.
How do you guys like this? I feel like I should’ve gone with smaller pearls, especially on the index finger. It all started going downhill when I started adding them. Is it too much? Be honest, is it taking all the attention, if so in a bad way?
I flooded my cuticle with top coat yet again.
Inspo: Randa Rosa
Y’all, please reassure me. I’m doing my nails, and after applying the extend gel to my natural nails, I’m just realizing I didn’t add primer or a dehydrator. I did use alcohol to wipe my nails after filing, though. 😭
Hey y’all. I recently started doing my own nails and I want to post a video on TikTok (if the video turns out well). My question is: I plan on mentioning the person I got the nail inspo from, but I also saw a transition video that I really liked and I think that person came up with the idea, I might be wrong. Should I also mention her or not? I’m conflicted.
Today makes 3 weeks since I’ve done my nails. I’m so proud of myself.
As it relates to how the cuticle area looks, is there too much gel, or did I not blend enough? The thumb looks the worse.
This isn’t perfect by any means; I was just testing to see if I could do it, and the concept is definitely there.
I’m planning on doing it on myself next. The tips I’ll be using will be longer and wider than these, so hopefully, the proportions and my line work will improve. I didn't have any pat gel, which is why I skipped the blush effect. However, I plan on using it for the official set.
I used Apres medium stiletto tips for the test, but when I officially do them, I’ll be using the long almond shape.
Ps. The last image is the inspo.
I do my nails at home, and the chair I use is broken, way before I started doing my nails. I’m planning on getting a new chair. Should I get one with or without armrests? Which do you think is better?
