Can you open the pump top on this bottle?

Can you open the pump top on this bottle?

I didn’t know how to tag this one lmao

I’ve had this foundation before, I liked it but the shade was a bit off. I’ve tried many drugstore foundations and come to the conclusion that my shade doesn’t exist in the drugstore. So I was wondering if I can take off the pump and mix in some of that L.A. Girl blue mixing pigment?

I also liked the skin tint from this same line and it would be easy to put in the pigment, but I hate the dropper bottle, it’s so messy. I’ve heard people have bought a pump for that but if I could just open the one with a pump already on it, that would be much easier.

Also I mean specifically this version with the silver top, not the US version with a white top.

Did a manicure on someone else for the first time! Featuring my dad :)

I’ve only done my own gel nails for a few months now, but my dad had a nail split vertically a bit so I wanted to try fixing it! He works outside a lot, so he has all kinds of things happen to his nails, dirt, chemicals, hammers, general bumping into stuff, scratching off paint with them… He also aggressively cleans out under the nails so the nail bed is receded, I would have liked to cut the nails shorter but he said he didn’t want to expose the skin under the free edge.

I cleaned under the nails, used cuticle remover, cut and filed, applied the silk tape on the broken nail, did a gel base coat and two coats of builder gel on that nail, then base coat and one layer of builder on the other nails. It took me so long to fix the broken nail that we skipped the top coat. I’ve had a gel base and builder last pretty well on myself because I wanted to use regular color polish and top coat on top later

As you can see, that silk repair tape doesn’t turn completely clear, luckily the two layers of nude builder gel kind of hide it, and you can’t file it off. It just bends and doesn’t break, I had to just try to clip it as close to the nail as possible. Really don’t recommend that product.
