@dancingstars1233 жыл бұрын
Do you push the tips up the cuticle or are you laying the tips right before? I keep getting a bit of lifting towards the cuticle area :/
3 жыл бұрын
Hi! It would be placed right before the cuticle. When lifting occurs, it usually means that a lot of extend gel residue cured around the base of the tip. Once the nail starts to grow, this will cause pre-mature lifting. We recommend using an old brush and alcohol to clean around the cuticle area before fully curing it.

I just received my kit and the thumb tips don't fit side wall to side wall! Other full cover tips fit my thumbs but since these are actually gel tips and not plastic do you think if I put an overlay using your Iconic gel to fill in the gaps on the thumbs would work be a good fix? I've seen some reviews on your website that mention this so I'm wondering if you've come up with a solution for those of us who have bigger nail beds?

Hi! Yes, filing down the sides a little so that the tip can fit a little flatter on the nail bed, and then adding a light overlay of Ionic Gel will help resolve this issue. We are planning on launching a bigger sized tip in the future, but we do not have any official release dates yet.

@Julia-mc1vt2 жыл бұрын
You should properly prep your nails. Prepping includes your cuticles! If you cure these nails too close to the cuticle or on top of those dead skin around the cuticles it will peel off! Other possible reasons: not filing enough; not filing around the edges of the nail; letting the tips cure on the skin; letting extend gel leaks cure on the skin; not properly buffing the tips. Well if even with all of these it keeps peeling of than you might wanna try using acidic primer. Keep practicing that you will succeed Xoxo

I’ve noticed that a lot of youtube reviewers, including professional nail techs, use only the mini lamp to cure the nails. Is the mini lamp strong enough to fully cure the gel? I saw that you recommend switching to a full size lamp for the final cure, but is that just for speed or is it because the mini lamp can’t fully cure the gel? I assumed it was only for flash curing, but I see people using it differently.

Is there a strong enough apex to support that length?? Hard to see in the video, but it doesn't look like it 🤔
5 жыл бұрын
HI Sara! Yes, our nails have a strong apex and are extremely durable under high intensity pressure. Since they are formed out of gel, not plastic, when under pressure, they are more likely to bend rather than break or snap! If you are looking for a tip with a thicker apex, check out our Sculpted line of tips! Our Sculpted tips have a thicker apex and a more apparent C-Curve, which fit more comfortably on rounder nail beds. (The tips shown here are our Natural Stiletto Long)
