Nails I have done myself (Gel-x)

Let me know if y’all have any tips or tricks!!

My retention has gotten so good! I have no lifting after 2.5 weeks and have to soak my nails off instead of them just popping right off.

I hate nails getting stuck in my hair!!! No longer have that problem!

Gonna make a post about how I got better at doing my nails and the things I have learned!

2024/1/15 Edited to

In the world of DIY nails, Gel-x has become a favorite for its durability and application ease. Many enthusiasts face challenges such as nail lifting and retention issues. It’s essential to focus on proper preparation and product quality. For better results, start with a clean nail bed, ensuring no oils or residues are left behind. Use a good base coat to create a good foundation. After applying Gel-x, curing it under a UV lamp is crucial to achieve proper adhesion and durability. To enhance your skill, consider watching tutorials or joining online communities where tips and techniques are freely shared. Regular practice and experimenting with different application methods can lead to significant improvements. Sharing your journey, as you've begun to do, not only helps others but allows for feedback and suggestions which can further refine your technique. So keep practicing, and your confidence will surely grow!
