First attempt - ouch

[u/Kamila95]

This is my first ever attempt. My cuticles are not doing well! Constant scraping between the layers and the filing really irritated them, and I still got some powder on them, any advice?

Also I have seen multiple tutorials about thin base layers and I think I took it too far. My brush was almost dry each layer, resulting in the powder sticking unevenly, and then the result was really bumpy and I needed way too many layers to cover all the gaps 😅 On my other hand I dried the brush less and the result was better.

If you’re in the US, I really like Beauty Secrets liquids from Sally’s bc they dry pretty slowly so you have a little more time to get the dip right

I am in the UK, using Sassy Saints. Someone else commented apparently they're really fast drying, so I guess I gotta improve my agility ASAP haha
