The tip primer is a new thing. Instead of using a file to rough up the surface I guess. Looks like it is easier to handle that using the file to:rough the surface up too. Great system, and I love using them to keep my hands looking symmetrical when I have nail breaks.😊
I’ve been waiting since I was a teenager for something other than acrylics to exist and decades later but I got my answer. Salons are smelly, pricey, and intimidating.
I am struggling keeping them in longer than a week. Any suggestions folks? My newest attempt is rubber base on natural nails and extend gel on the tip. 2 days so far so good.
i find that your natural nails may also play a part. Gel X doesn’t stay on my clients that have bitten nails. other than that I’d say size up and customize the tip shape wise to fit
what if my clients have nubs? aka for my nail biters who dont have any free edge whatsoever and want nail extensions and expect them to last a month? i have a method of doing it but i'd like to know if there is a better and fool proof way? love this product btw!
I see you leave the product quite thick on the underside, right? but my question is... doesn't that application leave a gap between the finger and the extension? Or should that space be filled in later with gel?
If my tips fit almost perfect to the nail not exactly sidewall to sidewall…just a little tiny bit off, am I ok? will the nails still work and fit/last as usual or does it have be to 100% fit
When your tips do not fit properly, don't force it. Go up a size and file the tip to the correct size, espessically for this type of application your prep work is key and ensuring the nails are fitting correctly are apart of that.
You can only file your ‘nail bed’ if you fully remove your actual ‘nail plate’ and that would be extremely painful so I think you are asking if you buff the top of the ‘nail plate’ where you apply the gel Polish to. I’m about to start trialling their gel system so will email Apres’ directly and ask them and suggest you could too. 😊
@@diannes1254 you knew what they meant. as did the person who already answered the question before you. there was zero need to respond in such a know-it-all way.
Hello . i love this product. but i have question. Do i have to use tip primer too? I didnt use a tip primer and did the extend gel after grinding the insde of the full tip with a drill. There was no tip primer in the full package. omg.. I did already couple of customer. OMG
