Cane success - 16-06-09, 06:17 PM

Evening all

Can I just say to all of you out there that have purchased pre - cut canes forget about it . I bought pre - cut canes and was desperately trying to do nails with them and fining them soooo difficult and then today I got my un -cut canes and oh my god the difference is excellent. I have done my own nails and they were so easy to do they didn't look thick and bumpy they look fab just like all the really good ones I have seen pictures of as soon as I can I will take a pic and up load it for you all to see, I will never use the pre cut ones again so if you r struggling like I was then I would defo say change .xxxx

Thank you so much for posting this, I was going to buy the pre cut ones, I already have the others and now I will just get more uncut ones pop them on a heated wheat bag for a couple of mins and carry on slicing them myself.

for those who do have the precut sort, i have heard that you can have better results if you lay one inbetween 2 files and grind them down thinner .

Hi all it was me in a previous thread that suggested to place the canes inbetween 2 files and thin them but since using un cut ones i woulds say dont even bother just get yourselfs some un cut ones as no matter how much i file them they have never come out as easy to use and look so good as they have with the un cut ones. xx

Agree with others, pre-cut canes are good only for some 3D modelling and special occasions. You'll be far better of by buying whole canes and cut them yourself in as thin pieces as you want.

Its great to hear you say that, i keep getting asked "when will you get the pre-cut canes in?" and i keep saying i won't people just don't seem to realise that they are really easy to use and look so much better, and are so much easier to work with so this is really cool to hear x

If you have bought the pre cut canes and find them too thick, may I suggest that you put them between two files and thin them down? This method worked for me as I cut a few too thick and didn't want to waste them.
