Worked great!
So, I guess the other client's fingers were too tiny maybe?
No bubble, no sliding.. it was super easy and turned out PERFECT!!!!

Off to order more of these clips

THANKS CARL

cool, did you try using the small end sideways ?
When I played with them, they had a gentle, but reasonably firm grip.

Just go to the tutorials section on the site and read the articles and Q&A's for Popits and step by step and you will soon know how they work.

You are an inspiration Victoria! Well done! You WILL master this !
I am still banging my head on a wall with the Gel but must say that my 3rd and 4th try were dang fantastic - just a tincy air bubble (like a pinprick) .. beginners luck perhaps as since... well its been difficult to achieve that magic amount I achieved the first time!

Well done You!

keep it up!

Thanks Cait!

If you go take a look at the Critiques section, you'll find a set I did with modified metal hair clips (usually used for pin curls?) which were the idea of another fellow geek. They turned out really well. I'm getting better at it.

Once you master the 'quantities' in terms of h ow much gel to use AND the amount of pressure (which is VERY light,but firm) you'll be rid of bubbles.

Good luck!

Your own nails look lovely in your pics!

Just what I was thinking x

would paper clips not work?
they come in different shapes and sizes and can be easily moulded to the nail shape..?
tried them on my natural nail and thought they might work?

I know you will get there hun. Your nails look amazing BTW x

seeing as though this has been resurrected again, I found another filmclip, I know it's not Popits, but thought you may be interested in the clips she uses in the clip ..... get it ?

Hi I am new to the Geek site. I am an experienced nail tech ( 10 Years) with gel, I got some pop its and tried them yesterday, I am quite pleased with the result but cant see how I can get a sculpted nail, clear or white and pink ( no tip ) without getting excess gel underneath. I know clients wont like the feeling of gel under their natural nail.
Am i missing something out ?

help !!!

p.s. its nice to be with nailey friends

Try and look at PopIts differently and don't try to do the things with them that in the end will not save you any time. You can do everything, but why would you if it does not save time?

Use PopIts for the quick easy tip and overlay service or natural nail overlay service and don't try to do every service with them.

The relevance of using PopIts in your business is that you save time for the clients who want that, not to take over or to use on all your clients who may want/require the handmade couture service. Get PopIts into perspective and use them wisely.
