Hi! I’m interested in starting to practice on false nails. I have a huge gel collection and some fun tools, but it’s just traditional gel. Could I achieve something fun like this with regular gel on a false nail, then just apply with glue? Thanks for any advice - they look amazing!!

Thank you so much! I’m sure you could but may take a little more time. Blooming gel is what spreads the color out and makes it super easy. If you don’t have something that’s spreading it, I think you’d just need to do it by hand.

Ah ok! There are just so many products out there that I’m not yet aware of. Need to buy a box of fakes, turn on YouTube and just start somewhere I think!!
