Oh to think of all those tips I have spent tayloring, etc, etc, etc. Seems like those days are over - YIPPEE!

So how does this counter the argument for a tip with a well, butting up to the natural nail so there is no step? Now we have a step as the tip is well less....there was some debate about this some time ago? Just wondered if the votes against the well less tip have now changed?
or they can be adhered to the edge, so they are "hanging" from where the natural free edge stops.
Cathie, as you know I have been using Pro impressions well less tips for over a year now and I find I can use them on most clients like a velocity tip, the only ones I cannot use them for are very flat or square/curved nails.Well (lol) I was thinking more about the step on the underside of the nail.....which isn't protecting the natural nail and allowing water to break down the adhesive....just thinking about what was discussed before...
Pro Impressions well less tips are really thin, unlike the Raptors which definately need to be well thinneddown before using...what is the difference between these and the new CND tips really?

I have never had a problem with service breakdown and I like the fact that you can place them where you like. I look forward to seeing what the new creative ones are like.
Okay...HOW exactly is that accomplished? Sounds like a good trick. I had a chance to use a couple on a client today, but I think I put them too high up her nail--I had to blend a little so they'd look all right.quote]
The way I saw it done was with cnd's gel bond.
You put a very thin line of it on the very edge of the free edge and on the edge of the tip and then you bud them up against each other and hold them til they stick. Then the line was wiped for gelbond and voilá.
It sounds easy and it didn't look difficult, but I haven´t tried it myself, I've just seen it done. I would guess you tailor the free adge of the natual nail and the tip so they fit exactly!
I have also seen them used like the velocity and formation where they are positioned on top of the nail, the difference was that they only covered a little less than a millimeter of the natural nail... I think maybe how they are thought to be used.

Thanks for the link Jac. Are these pro impressions tips white or natural coloured?

Do you mean of you only use say clear or pink as an overlay and not pink and white? You would still see the smile line of the tip unless you fully blended it.So - can you get away with no smile line showing with the natural ones or can you still the smile line.
I use them when the occasion suits and haven't had a problem with them.Do you use the regularly?
