2024/12/1 Edited to

... Read moreGel X nails have become a popular choice among nail lovers thanks to their durability and vibrant finish. Changing the polish on a Gel X set involves several key steps to ensure a flawless look. Start by carefully removing the old polish, taking care not to harm the natural nail underneath. Next, it's essential to shape the nail properly, as the shape can affect both aesthetics and the longevity of the nail set. When selecting the base color, choose shades that complement your personal style—this is where creativity begins! After applying a base color, you can get creative with nail art designs, like festive snowflakes or charming motifs that reflect the season. Here's a quick breakdown of the steps: 1) Remove the old polish gently. 2) Fix the nail shape to your preference. 3) Apply a base color of your choice. 4) Use LED application for curing. 5) Add detailed designs like snowflakes. 6) Finish with a top coat to seal in your art and provide shine. 7) Inspect for the perfect shape and shine. Enjoy your DIY nail artistic journey and engage with fellow nail enthusiasts for tips and ideas!

Acrylic doesn’t harm natural nails NAILTECH DO!
If you are having a hard time retaining length with your natural nails either your not moisturizing your nails and cuticles enough so they are dry and brittle or it may be your nailtech filing your nails too much but either way it’s not the acrylic!!!! Lmk if you want tips on how to retain length ☺
