@@KkaejjangDo you have ZEPETO?

I noticed it doesn't last long either and I thought it was just me

Lasts for me r u sure u r curing long enough? For me I had to buy a stronger watt lamp, then no problems. Also re apply clear top coat every few days

Если у вас скалывается цвет, попробуйте другую базу. Возможно вам нужна более кислотная, жесткая база. Тонкая подложка вашей обычной базы, сверху strong база, потом цвет и топ. И всё будет держаться на отлично) И праймер тоже попробуйте кислотный, но только на самый край ногтя. И подпиливайте торцы в конце маникюра

​@@MsJtownesни в коем случае нельзя наносить топ несколько раз, не меняя всё покрытие! И с очень мощными лампами будьте осторожнее, если появится чувство жжения, сразу доставайте руку, иначе можно получить серьёзные проблемы в виде ожога ногтевой пластины

That happens to me because I have oily nails. So it pushes off the nail polish. You have to prep them really well. Buff the nail, wipe with alcohol, use a dehydrator and primer before using the base coat.

It’s a difficult habit to break but totally doable, I used to bite too 🥲

Yes you have lovely hands and nails.

Ooooo thank you for this tip! I’m def trying it

👀 👀 👀

Yessss it gives more traction so the polish dosnt bleed

@@Doodlecream bingo. Such a useful hack ☺️

I've been doing this forever! It makes it so much easier.

I got you, I’m here to help! What helps my nails grow is always having nail polish or gel on, it acts like armor to protect your nails, and help prevent them from breaking:) also I moisturize in the evenings and wear gloves while cleaning/washing dishes because waterlogged nails = weak nails!

@@thegraytergood ty

@@ElsaTheNoob when I don’t have time to paint my nails with color or whatever, I also use a clear strengthening polish to help strengthen and protect my nail beds as I grow mine out. I have done this for a while and it has really helped mine! Just a tip :)

@@thegraytergoodi have the same experience!! whenever i have any polish or gel in my nails are fine but the second i try to do something without the gel polish on my nails break!!

Awh I love that for us 🥰

Tysm, I’ve been working on them for about two years now 🥹

@@thegraytergoodhow do you work on them? Mine keep splitting

​@@Snailmail1you need to push back the cuticle and use nail oil to make them stronger. It also helps if you keep a thicc layer on the natural nail from it splitting

Que hermoso😊

Nice! 👍

Tyyyyy I’ve been working on them for like two years now 🥹

​@@thegraytergoodочень красивые руки и ногти😍

I absolutely agree, it’s such a good brand 😮‍💨 I really want the fall colors pack too!

@@thegraytergood It really is! I do as well. By the way, you painted your nails beautifully!! I might have to try that design myself! 😁

Ty! This design was a recreation of @heygreatnails on IG 🥰 I love her work!

Of course! Recreation or not, they still look gorgeous!! ❤️

Same here, I swear by beetles gel, most of their colors are beautifully opaque by 2/3 coats. The lighter colors can be translucent, but it’s still super dependable.

Absolutely, great tips ty! 💅🏻💙

This gel polish specifically is super high in hema. I haaaate beetles.

Any brand recommendations for ones with ones with no hema or less of it? I used to use the beetles and I got a allergic reaction, as much as they look expensive. No matter what I do now it just keeps flaring up when I use it. 😢

@@wanderingegg_ I developed a HEMA allergy and still use beetles heavily I jus stopped letting it touch my skin. which let me still do gel nails while staying safe! For some people it’s not too bad while for others I can be worse

@@lizmaryf7892for sure, it’s always best to be careful and not let any brand of gel touch your skin:)

I appreciate it so much, it’s helped me get more into gel :)

Aahhhhh seven collections, that’s amazing! Any recommendations ?

@@thegraytergood I love neutral earthy tones so the City In Snow set is amazing. It’s only six colors but it’s stunning for neutral looks. Then the twilight set is also stun! It’s like thirty smaller bottles or something and it comes with a base coat and glossy top coat and matte top coat. Those are my favorites from the sets that I have :) twilight is like cyans pinks purples think vaporwave or retrowave color schemes. :)

I love them so much 🥹💙🐸

Aw yay, I’m so glad to hear it! Cirque colors is one of my favorite brands 🥹🫶💕 their stuff is sooooo good!

i know this is 6 months late, sorry! but keep your nails polished as often as possible so they grow more and are stronger! and if you use gel polish that requires a uv light, get some uv resistant gloves to protect your hands and cuticles. and to make polishing them more fun, find some designs you like to do on your nails! one thing that’ll keep you motivated is how many more designs you can do with your nails the longer they get, so be creative! and i don’t know if nail strengtheners work since i never used them, but maybe try them! stronger nails are definitely the key to getting longer nails! make sure you don’t have square nails! i used to have some pretty weak nails too, so them being square made them even more prone to breaking. round nails are better, or if round doesn’t look good on on you (like me) almond’s great too! your nails are vulnerable after they’ve been wet, so let them dry before you do anything that could possibly break them! unless you have gel polish on, since that protects them well. and moisturise your hands and cuticles while they’re wet for optimal moisture. use a cuticle cutter whenever you see your cuticles have grown. make sure they’re kind of moist before you cut them, but not too moist where there’s a risk of cutting your skin. make sure the cuticle cutter you use is smooth and sharp. if it’s ragged or doesn’t do the job well, throw it away as not to damage your cuticles and possibly cut yourself. it’s happened before to me, it hurts! and use cuticle oil straight after. this is optional, you can take pictures about every one or two weeks, depending on your nail growth rate. you’ll really be able to see the progress, it’ll surprise you! -tips from someone currently trying to grow their nails out and kind of succeeding 🤍🩶🖤

Oooooo I bet they have even more selection on their website:) and I feel you, I had trouble getting gel to stick to my nails too. What helped me was using cuticle softener to scrape every bit of dead skin off the nail plate and cleansing with 100% pure acetone (I get mine at Walmart!) I also use a soft nail file to add just a bit of texture to the nail plate because gel won’t stick to a smooth surface:) I hope this helps, I’m always here if you need anything!

have u ever tried their builder gel? i find it helps the nails stick on better and last longer❤

It won’t stick to mine either 😭 it peels right off even with the base coat gel!

@@haganmonet4810 I haven't tried that! I definitely will 😊 cuz I wanna use it on my toes lol

@@caylarose6658 yes girrrlll try it but also don’t do ANY set 1st within doing ur nails it’s gonna mess with the adhesive ability. also; i get my nail dehydrator + primer from either amazon, sally beauty or ulta really only ulta for the dehydrator theirs is best for value and quality sally beauty isn’t as hype imo unless ur getting the gelish brand itself other wise big fat no no

Ya

I’ve been working on them for ages 😭

Grab prenatals from the local store🖤

Right? I’m especially obsessed with their topcoat, it’s so inexpensive and better than some expensive ones I’ve tried 😮

@@thegraytergood right! I just ordered the matte topcoat, I'm excited to try it

I found it on Amazon! amzn.to/3iV3YfP

It’s the RARJSM milky rose - linked in the description box for you! 💙

I just posted a video about it - it’s important to hydrate up after removal, I use cuticle oil and lotion after

Yep. It's even worse when you develop an allergy from it. I used Beetles, thinking I'm saving so much money. Then I ended up having to take a trip to the ER (it really was that bad), had my hands and fingers covered in itchy and burning blisters, was on steroids for quite a while and months later, my skin still hasn't fully healed. You were definitely smart by not buying them.

I just posted a short about it recently! kzfaq.infoNuNn3P7BCJE?feature=share

@@thegraytergood ty!!

here are some things that have really helped me 🥹 I used to have nail nubs but doing these things constantly have changed my life:) - Use a gentle file, 180 grit or higher or a glass file, don’t clip or use a cheap abrasive file that shreds your nails - Gloves every single time you’re doing dishes or cleaning, water is so so bad for your nails - Always wear polish or gel, bc it’s like armor for your nails - Round nail shape, square shape tends to break on corners because it’s a stress point (especially with bare nails) - Put on cuticle oil + lotion at night before bed, more cuticle oil during the day if you can
