Update: took everyone's advice and tried again!

I also skipped the layer of white polish to make them less bulky this time. Practicing the shape will come later when I get a better nail drill (I have the 23 dollar KISS one thats as strong as wet toilet paper).

I put the gel extensions 2 mm away from the cuticle and applied builder gel in the gap. I swiped the builder gel across the entire top to try and level it but i think made it bulkier. Do you guys ONLY fill in the gap and sand the gel x down to match the height?

Feel free to critique on anything you see aside from the shape!!

Why do my gel extensions look so sloppy? ):

I use the gel x as press ons but with Mia Secret Nail Gel Glue for Extensions, apply Vettsy cats eye gel on top, and then seal it with Mia Secret Glass Finish Gel

Finally, the ultimate pigeon nest

A mated pair of pigeons have been laying eggs on my balcony for the past 2 years. Previously they've been aided by a potted plant I'd given them to shape their nests in, but it was getting really gross so I threw it away (intending to get a new potted plant for them). Before I had the chance to get a new plant, they started building a nest with twigs and made this!

This first pic is after I cleaned the balcony, the rest are how I found the nest before cleaning. The sticks are so densely woven the nest lifted in one piece while I cleaned, and now that I put it back, Cookies-and-Creambert is back to sitting on it :)

Thought you guys would be amused by my attempt at acrylics with zero practice

I was like "how hard could it be?"

Clearly, my hubris knows no bounds.

What color lipstick goes with this?

My daily full face of makeup, but I dont know what to put on my lips to finish it!
