    Advice on vertical splitting?

    Hey everyone, I've got a couple of quick questions. My grandmother has a couple of nails that split vertically from the free edge, and nail treatments and moisturizing has only done so much for her. (I would upload an image, but apparently it's too large.) My first question is: Should I go with...

    Vampire nails

    That's a great idea! I'd completely forgotten that fusing two forms together was a technique. You're right about the toenail tip, lol. Not exactly the look we're trying to achieve. Hopefully the forms I have are long enough. (Of course, if not it's no big deal to get others.) Fingers crossed! ;)

    Vampire nails

    Hey, Geeks! Got an interesting question for you all: I'm planning to do a friend's nails for a vampire ball in a couple months, but I'm not really sure what to use to give him the look he wants. We want to do a long stiletto, which is easy enough. But his hands and nails are huge. Gorgeous, but...

    Hard gels popping off tips?

    Hard gels popping off tips?

    Hard gels popping off tips?

    I think you may have misread my post. The tip only reached the end of my finger, not the end of my nail. My natural nail had broken off a good way into my nail plate, so to prevent any further pain or damage I applied a tip and cut it so it didn't extend past the end of my finger. I would send a...

    Hard gels popping off tips?

    Oh geez, I'm so sorry, I've had quite a time since first posting! My life has been a bit crazy :confused: First, I should clarify that the tip was only long enough to reach the end of my finger, so I did actually apply a form under it and extend the gel well past it. Second, I'm not...

    Hard gels popping off tips?

    I'll preface my question by saying that I am a student (currently on leave from school). Recently I purchased my first pot of hard gel; Tones Pro Builder Gel Plus; and because I'm apparently a masochist, I've been practicing with it on my own nails. Tonight in particular I just sculpted four...
