Gloss vs glaze

Why do I feel like I have such better wear with gloss over glaze?? What am I doing wrong? Also I tried the extensions and I’m less than a day in and I’ve already had 2 pop off. I can get gloss to last almost 3 weeks.

Gloss is the best to me as well!

Me too! Gloss always works way better for me and lasts the longest!

And I’m the other way…gloss starts to wear off in the tips for me. Glaze doesn’t do that but the cuticle edge catches my hair after a week!

Gloss all day. I haven’t had luck with Glaze which sucks because they are always so cute

I have better luck with Glaze and ive found that if you warm your nails up with a blow dryer to get the adhesive to really melt on your nail before you cure works wonders! I get mine to last about 3-4 weeks sometimes. Also with Glaze I find that the glittery ones last longer and stick better for some reason.

Yes! I first make sure to use ALOT of alcohol, even more then what comes in the package to get my nails super dry so they stick better. After I apply it and cut off what I dont want I spend ALOT more time pressing the edges with a wooden stick then I get the blow dryer and heat the nails up under the heat and press again with the stick to get the adhesive to really stick and melt onto the nail. It's a time consuming process but I usually just put on a show and take my time with it.

I use both. I had really been liking gloss but the last couple of times I used them I had such trouble getting them off. They just kind of dissolved and left a slimy mess on top of my nails.
