@noodle_yess: let’s talk about prep! 🫧 I like to keep it simple — I only use 2 bits! I always start off with pushing back my cuticles. this step is BIG for me. it makes such a difference and I never get the results I’m looking for if I skip it. next I go in with my flame bit. lately I’ve been loving a fine flame — the wider circumference just lets me get into those crevices and clean out my pocket way easier than a medium. after working in forward, don’t forget to switch directions and go in reverse too. (sidenote: I work on speed 18 👀) if there’s anything to trim, I’ll go in and remove any dead skin — but in this set there wasn’t anything to clip, so you won’t see that part. then I take a medium sanding band on speed 5 to lightly etch the surface. nothing crazy, just enough to prep the nail plate. at that point, she’s prepped and ready to go ✨ I used my VBP nail glue with long stiletto tips to build the perfect base for this set. prep is everythingggg. don’t rush it 🤭 do you have a different flow for your prep? I’d love to hear about it 😍 code: NOODLE10 @vbeautypure #vbeautypure #noodle_yess #nailprep
