Forever French fibreglass

[Pebbles#1]

Hi,

I have a client who loves her fibreglass nails/wraps, but would like to have them in a permanent french finish (not using white tips).
Is there such a product on the market to create a forever french look with fibreglass?

Thanks to anyone that can help

I think there is a tutorial that Ruth Fordham wrote on this somewhere,but do not know how to attach it....otherwise i would like to know the answer as well

if you have a gel lamp you could combine it with a white paint on gel to do the tip and then carry on with your regular application.

I would use white water-based acrylic nailart paint to create the French tip, then continue with the fibreglass overlay.
You can add the white either before of after the builder layer of resin, depending on which system you use.

hth's a bit :hug:

For permanent french tips with fibreglass I use this:
create your nail from start to finish..... when you get to the last stage after shaping and lengths checking, do a 240 grit buff (this will allow the gel to grip), apply paint on white gel, taking the white gel over the edge to grip the free edge (capping), refine the smile line and freeze cure, do this to all ten fingers, then full cure for recommended curing time, remove inhibition layer, after this give the white smile line a, very, very light buff to remove the slight step the white will create, then apply the uv finishing gloss making sure you cap the free edge, so the gel doesn't come away from the free edge......

I did use white acrylic paint, but sometimes it makes the fibreglass slightly less invisible and the resin can tend to melt the paint so you could get smudges..specialy when you try to stipple the resin into the mesh to get good saturation.....to me this was more of a hit and miss scenario, so I switched to gel smile lines.... easy to buff off when it comes to rebalancing service.
You know there is no right or wrong way to do anything, try out different ways and see which one works for you...HTH.. good luck huni xxxx

Thanks for your feedback. I don`t offer gel nails so don`t have a lamp etc so I`m going to give it a go with the acrylic paint.
