hey everyone..just wondering..which will last longer???
tips or sculpting...tips seem to break off easily

How much training have you had, only your profile doesn't say? Are you asking as a tech or a consumer?

If done correctly a tipped nail is as durable as a sculpted nail. If tips are breaking at the join it will more than likely be because your apex isn't strong enough. If they're chipping at the free edge it's because your product is too thin. If you give us some more information we can offer more help......

As Yvette says, there should be no difference at all if both are built in the same way and done with the right techniques.

Hi Hun,
Well I have to say they both last equally with me, and on my clients.
I do tend to wear the tips on myself, as I can only sculpt my left hand, I try to do my right, but I am not happy with the results, need more practice.
At the moment I am wearing tips and have used PopIts.
By golly they are strong & they are not thick. I have just had my poor nails in tons of hot soapy water cleaning a giant chocolate fountain, they are still perfect, and I have cleaned 3 fountains this week, and all the bowls etc that go along with the other job, these nails are only 1 week old so they will do a lot more work yet.
I very very rarely break one, and I do wear them long.
So if put on correctly as Gigi says there should be no difference.
Have you had any training? Or are you just asking as an obsever to the site ?
Lotsa luv x

yes i have training...but for some reason they always lift or break off.. I wonder why. Instructor is really good. And i trust her..but some things she does ccome out perfect..but when i do they always have problems

They are both as strong as already mentioned.

I tend to prefer tips - That is cos i love to blend. Blending is my favourite bit - the first part of the new transformation.

However, sculpting is faster. I prefer gel - so i sculpt and apply tips with my gel

Do you think this could be because you are learning while she has skill and experience?

yea thats proboly why..thanx alot i need to keep practicing
