Another little tip- the gel will feel tacky/sticky but it’s supposed to don’t worry about it, top coat will fix it 💕

Getting tips and then file them down to be smooth with your nail… thennn use a builder gel! It’s kind of like luminary but you can buy at Sally’s beauty!

Definitely go to the YouTube or tik tok academy! I use a combo of tips and acrylics. When you put the tips on, you decorate the tops and put nail glue on the bottom and acrylic powder on it to be…

In between applications of color, use a wood cuticle stick or something similar to clean up the edges before curing under the light! And very thin layers are definitely key!

Thin coats, and don’t freak out if you get it all over your finger. It will wipe off and liquid latex is your friend!

As someone who has done their nails I was like 7, I can tell you that you did a pretty good job. I think gel x would be a good option for longer nails. Also you should get a clean up brush to fix the edges before it goes into the lamp. I hope this helped 😊

builder gel! I use builder gel and get the sticker things to extent them. tips pop off builder gel extension don't and when they start to grow out you can file them down and fill them back in. 💀

I just started doing my own gel extension at home to save money. It takes some trial and error but they have almond shaped tip, I’d recommend getting short or x-short for a more natural length

I get clear tips and beetles nail glue to give me length and strength! A little learning curve and they will probably be messy the first few times but worth it! And a e file will be your bff!

Get builder gel!!!! You can build the apex and your nails will seem like they’re growing so fast bc they don’t break. And builder gel won’t pop off like tips!

I started doing dip powder with gel base and top coat. Game changer. I can grow my nails out and get the clack! It takes some practice but you'll get there.

The base coat should be tacky but do that layer really thin and rough up your nails with a file before applying 🥰 beetles polish is my favorite, you can also get dnd colors most salons use on Amazon!
