Dip nails not lasting

Hi there,

I’m doing dip nails at home and they’re lasting maybe two days before falling off. I’m curious what I’m doing wrong?

This is my process:

-Prep the nails (buff, file, push back cuticles, Mia Secret dehydrator followed by Mia Secret Xtrabond).

-Put Modelones base over the tip of the nails and dip in powder. Do this again, but over half of the nail and dip in powder, followed by base over the full nail and dip in powder).

-Put Modelones “activator” over nails.

-Put Modelones top coat over the nails.

That’s it! What am I doing wrong?

Do I need the air straight if I have the coanda 2x?

As the title says. I’m looking at the airstraight but I know my coanda 2x has the straight attachment. You can’t go from wet to dry with it tho, so I’d imagine it doesn’t work as well. Thoughts?

Frizzy hair

Hi everyone, my hair is fine after I shower, but as soon as I sleep on it, it’s frizzy the next day. Any advice on what I can do? Any products that would help me out with this?

Thermal spas?

Hi everyone,

New to the area/country. Back in my hometown, I could go to a thermal spa where they had saunas, steam rooms, and warm and cool pools to relax in. Is there anything like that in the general area?

Laser treatment??

Hi all,

There’s a laser place nearby with a great deal currently. My mum is encouraging me to pursue this for my neck/chin hair from PCOS. I thought that laser doesn’t work due to this being hormonal though? I thought electrolysis was the only option?

Curious to hear any feedback on this. Thanks

Why isn’t “weightlifting” a tag?

As the title says, why isn’t weightlifting a tag, or strength training?

Hi there,

I have the opportunity to adopt a local Persian cat, 1 and a half years old, and good with dogs.

My golden did not grow up around cats, so I’m wondering if anyone has introduced a cat to their golden down the road. How did it go? Any tips?

Thanks!
