Hi! Quick question. If i have a nail polish remover with acetone, can i just use that? I dont know if it willl work the same. And for nails like this, can you use normal bail polish and let it dry overnight, or do you need gel polish? Im a teenager on a budget, and I'd like to learn to paint my press-ons.
@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie17 күн бұрын
@Choaticsibling1111 hi! Yes, regular nail polish remover with acetone is fine :) regular nail polish is fine too, but it takes a while to dry. 24hrs is probably enough depending on how thick they are painted. The problem arises when you press down on the nail to apply it, if it's not 100% dry it will leave a fingerprint in the polish. I'd reccomend painting one extra nail, that you'll be able to test if it's completely dry without worrying about wrecking it :) have fun!

I just started making my own press on nails and I went and bought all kinds of full cover nail tips but I noticed a lot of them were soft gel tips and not plastic.. could I still use the soft gel tips like this?

@NightBorne2 hi 👋 yes those are fine. Lots of people prefer those type anyways as they are less likely to break, and mould to the natural nail easier. Have fun!

I didn't order these as I didn't know wtf I was doing with powders! Lol... but this tutorial was straight to the point and so easy to follow! Tysm! 1 question: Did you cure the 1st coat of white, then leave the 2nd tacky? Or did you not cure either?
@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie2 ай бұрын
Hi! I'm glad it has helped. Pigment powders are really versatile and fun to use in other ways, too, so you should get some! Each coat of polish is cured. The tacky layer is created by curing. Some polishes cure with no tacky layer though, if that happens then just flash cure for 10 sec ( or more, you'll have to experiment which gives you the best sticky finish for the powders to cling to) and make sure to cure fully after applying the powder to reduce the risk of allergies from uncured product. Hope this helps xx

If it's 100% the same as when you applied it, your light isn't suitable. But if you're just wiping it off and some color is coming off but the design remains, just don't wipe it, and apply a topcoat.

@samanthanicholson9015 it certainly pays to invest in some high quality brushes and gel paint.
