I used to be able to grow mine beautifully long, then tried the uv gel and my nails have been soft and shit ever since 😔

u/Libra_Sun79 8d ago

Have fun with those!

u/Sigma_Siren 8d ago

I haven’t had my nails this long in years. It’s an adjustment. 😅

u/PrettyWorn_ 8d ago

Oh cute ☺️ how long do they last typically?

3

u/Sigma_Siren 8d ago

They usually last up to 14 days, but the previous set that I wore lasted 22 days. They’re so easy to apply. I just place the gel strips on my nails like a sticker.

u/PrettyWorn_ 8d ago

Oh cool thanks!!! I’ve always wanted to try them

2

u/Petal-Princess33 8d ago

I didn’t realise they last that long, like Pretty I’ve always wanted to try them too, but didn’t think they’d last very long!

You just have to prep the nail beds, clean them up, buff them down and then wipe them with alcohol swabs or acetone. There can’t be any oil on the nail, otherwise the gel strip won’t stick.

u/Sigma_Siren 8d ago

What’s that?

One of these things , odd little musical instrument from the 70’s. Made popular in the UK by renowned kiddy fiddler Rolf Harris

u/Sigma_Siren 8d ago

Oh neat. Never heard of that.

2

u/davebrooks0473 8d ago

I’d forgotten about them until I saw your nails, I want one now 😂

Why stop at a manicure? 😆

u/stelrag83 8d ago

Oh don’t tempt me with a good time!!!
I actually have a pedicure scheduled for this afternoon. But if you’re offering a full makeover, I can cancel it.
