First attempt inverted nail application gel

This is my first attempt at the inverted nail application using glitter mixed with clear gel and sculpting pink

once the tip was placed and cured all i did was refine the shape of the free edge nothing else was touched with the file

all i can say is wow wow wow i love it and will now apply to the rest of my nails

looks pretty.

so have you left the tip in place, or have you used the removable mould thingy ?

it will be really interesting to see how long they last.

Cool...it looks absolutely fab.....let us know about the longevity of it....so I am guessing you bought some of these moulds?

Did it take you long to do the one nail?

i used a clear tip and it took me about 5 mins to apply the nail

i used a size two tip and turned it around if you try this you will find it fits perfectly hths

So did you apply the tip as normal or put the product on the underside of the tip and then apply over the whole nail?....did the product not stick to the tip?.....these things are confusing me now! lol

they are good aren't they !

I to am looking forward to how the last ie lifting etc, but guess the pressure you apply when putting the product on is far great than what we can achieve with a brush

my brain is unable to compute! Think I need to see how you do it lol! So do you put the design on the inside of the tip, place it on the whole nail and cure? I'm repeating myself now but I don't get it lol!

No!......no! Cathie, it's quite ok, you've saved me from repeating myself!

I've got the same question.

Here are a few more pictures you lot

Step 2 is just checking the pink will fit

Tiger Jay · 12-07-07, 11:54 PM

Thanks

Tried it with acrylic the other day, but i am really rubbish with that system so gave up to soon but yes it is possible. I have just been playing so why not just play yourself

I am not convinced still atm how do you build a nice apex and what about air bubbles getting trapped under the tip ?
