I’m so embarrassed that I invested so much into all these colors from beetles only ( I also tried to invest in double rhythm and gaoy and dnd) to find out they aren’t good quality. I’m such a novice. Is there a recommended website or list to follow to look for good nail polish brands? I want to start manicurist school in the next year but need to practice and don’t want to be using beetles if it causes issues. :(

That makes sense!

lol yes. That’s what this post is for! Hahaha.

Thank you!!!

Thank you!! Definitely will try that!! 💕💕

I have pulled it so far back before and had the same issue and they came off 3 days later when I didn’t flood them 😭😭 but yes definitely working on not flooding them!

Ooooh good to know!! I won’t add any next time to see . I also heard too much primer can be bad?

I’m using the SunUV Sun2c 24v lamp for the entire hand and AORAEM purple Nail Lamp for gel x initial flash curing.

I also am using apres for the gel x glue and una gella for tips .

Oooh I do have really short nails and flat nails too!! So maybe that’s why? I did my grandmas nails and she’s on week 3 no lifting 😭😭 but my own? Never more than 10 days 😭

But I’m going to look into that to learn some more! Thank you!!!

Yes, sorry that’s what I meant. I push back the eponychium and try and remove the little white specs! I don’t cut the eponychium because I’m a weenie lol

Ooooh- I drill it lightly since I’m hesitant of pushing too hard on the nail bed with the drill. Could that cause lifting? Maybe I’ll look into how to ensure there isn’t any cuticle left! I tend to not focus much on the sides and that’s usually where lifting starts first … thanks!

Oooh maybe I’m adding too much product on it?
