I e-file the most of the part then wrap in acetone and foil then put the fingers into hot water. If that make sense 😅 I usr these soak off bowl from amazon. It has 2 layers. I put hot water on the bottom and put the fingers with the foil in it. Heat helps the process faster.

Is there a particular reason why you use a separate brush when applying the base coat?
@chicnailbyconnie98463 жыл бұрын
So that I don’t apply extra gel. I find the brush in the bottle tend to apply lot of gel and it over flow

What type of gel lamp did you use? I’m trying to find one compatible with the product because the lamp they provide is good but doesn’t allow me to move around much to hold the nail. Thanks !
@chicnailbyconnie98463 жыл бұрын
I started with just amazon lamps but honestly lamp is sooo important with not lifting or curing properly. Obviously when i started i couldn't afford 200$ lamps so i started with amazon lamps that are only 30$. Now i can afford the good lamps i can tell how different they are and help the nail lasts long. Right now i use light elegance lamp. Its strong and works very well

@chicnailbyconnie98462 жыл бұрын
Hello. Do you mean using different gel to stick the tip on? Personally I never tried them but i think sticking within the line always better because they designed/carefully chosen to work with each other. Let me know if you try it and if it works :)
