Does anyone use the reusable nail forms and what do you think of them?
I've tried them and couldn't get on with them.
They're a great idea... but just didn't do it for me.
They wouldn't stay put.
I've only recently started sculpting on forms and sometimes I find that when I am sculpting the white tip it becomes hard to control, sort of slips a bit if you get what I mean. I think this could be the fact that my bead is too wet but it doesn't happen when I'm sculpting on tips. Why do you think that is. Thanks for the advice
Yes, I'm curious to know who said this too??
Sculpts are just as strong as tips, if not stronger IMO.
The tip adhesive and tips actually give less contact point for the product to the nail plate, which means less strength as it's the product that is strong, not the adhesive and tip. Adhesive breaks down over time also, which again could weaken the enhancement.
With sculpting the entire nail plate/free edge is made of product, so full contact with the nail plate.
If the sculpted nail is built correctly, then a sculpted nail is very strong indeed.
This is what I have been taught and shown and it makes perfect sense if you understand the science behind how your product works (strength etc) and f you use your product exactly how it is meant to be used.
I used the reusable OPI forms for a little while. They were tricky at first to fit but I got the hang of them and found them not too bad. They then started to break, the wire on them just didn't like to be bent back a forth and because you could not buy them as individuals they worked out really expensive to replace. A disaster really.
There are several great forms out there, ring around and ask for some samples, most companies are happy to oblige!:green:
