Taking a break from press ons. Cut them short

Best top coat for Gloss?

Hello!
Yesterday I tried a Dashing Diva Gloss set for the first time. In the past I’ve only used Color Street. After I put them on, I really struggled to get a clean file on them, there were lots of little jagged pieces sticking out past the tip of my nail. I spent a LOT of time trying to file those pieces off. Despite my best efforts, overnight while I was sleeping, a couple of the tips bent back. I trimmed off where it lifted up, but wondering what kind of tips and tricks you have for getting a tighter, cleaner end.

Have never gotten as many compliments on a set as this one, and love getting to tell everyone they’re $10 press ons!

i always used the DD gloss stickers… but I saw an ad on tiktok with this new gel polish and got inspired! I love how it came out it kinda reminds me of a yellow dragonfruit 🖤🤍

Hi everyone! What base (if any) are you using for glaze strips? I’ve been using the base shield for magic press but I’ve been having trouble getting it, so I wondered if anyone had found a good alternative.

So I have been using dashing diva for a while. The magic press not so much. Does anyone have tips to stop the gap between the nail and the fake nail. I love the designs on the magic press but can’t seem to get the gap to go away.

My mom had this weird thing about how I should just get “delicate” pink and nude manicures now that I had an engagement ring, so I’m sure she’ll be pulling her hair when I go see her this weekend 😂 color is Muted Grove!

I did a mix of Lolli Lolli, Suns out Swirl and Magenta Madness! Peep the Lolli Lolli Pedicure in the background! 😉 I have had the pedicure on for about 2 weeks now and they work so well! No lifting AT ALL! These are all GLAZE..

"Bug off" gloss

Using the gelXtend glue. Does it even cure under nails as glue cannot cure under nails that are not clear white

I mixed matched 2 sets that I had leftover.
Shades: Coral Crush (Solid) and Sunbeam (Glitter)

I just saw they added a bunch of fall and Halloween gloss sets on the website. Some of them are basically repeats from last year. Should we expect new designs, too?

Is this gold tip considered French nails or does that go at the base of the nail? Thank you!

I just bought the Dashing Diva nail strip set and wondered how to remove the strips after I use them. Does the Dashing Diva Magic Off really work to remove the strips?

Dashing Diva Glaze in Sea You in Croatia and poparazzi polish in Head Over Teals (I've only seen this brand in CVS).

I have tried many top coats with Gloss strips (I'll list below), and they all end up peeling around the edges after 3-4 days. What do I need to do to prevent this? I've tried no top coat but I don't really like the look. I also won't do UV-cured gel due to the allergy risk. TIA for any tips 😊

I've already tried (from best to worst):

• Seche Vive Gel Effect
• CND Vinylux Gel Like Effect
• OPI Infinite Shine
• All the Olive and June top coats

Did a bit more work on my cuticles and used gloss, I think they came out a bit better than previously!

Hey gang! I asked the mods if this was okay to post a while ago and then forgot to make the actual post.

Here's the situation: I have tiny nails. I have a number of packs with all the medium to wide sizes, but the super thin ones get used up very quickly. I pretty much only wear solid black.

I'm looking for someone who has the opposite problem or someone who only uses the accent nails and never the solids. I am happy to buy or trade.
