PopIts-How should they fit???

[Miss Pink23]

Im excited as Im just about to try out Pop-Its for the first time tonight on myself.
But, my question is, should I choose a size that fits snug on mynail and right up to the free edge and cuticle, or one that leaves a slight gap in between?

Or do I choose the snug one and just not fill the Pop-It right up to the edge?

Thanks

I like the Popit to be slightly larger than smaller (check both sides) and make sure you don't accidentally move the forms to make it look like it fits.
I also slightly taper the nail so the acrylic encapsulates the tip.

Well, tried last night!!!!!!!!
ONce I got to grips with applying the acrylic in the tip it looked great-smile line was fab. BUT....... when I pushed onto nail the smile line smudged and it looked awful. I really dont think I overfilled it at all....................
What went wrong geeks????????

No idea im afraid but when you have mastered it can you show me?!

if you are dong a smile line in the Popit, let the white set for a while or it will squish when you put it on

The same thing happened to me when I first tried PopIts. I then let my white set up a bit more and it was way better. HTH!
