Hi Minkus

They are so amazing and such a coincedence(excuse the spelling):oI to have half a big toe nail well 2 actually, i lost mine through an infection they are now starting to grow but its taking forever. I have been searching through past posts for days for solutions as to how to cover up my horrid toes and as the weather is slowly heating up i was getting a bit desperate, and i have a wedding to go to in a 2 weeks.

You have come to my rescue.

Just one thing i need to ask is when you have placed the fibre mesh on you`re nail do you apply the gel, cure then remove access mesh or fit the mesh and trim then apply the gel(hope that makes sense).

Would be really grateful for you`re help as im getting v desperste and sweaty feet:lol:.


Loads of Love

thing is sometimes peeps have odd big toe nails too so a thin layer of silk can match them up !

Just one thing i need to ask is when you have placed the fibre mesh on you`re nail do you apply the gel, cure then remove access meshyou can do either way to be honest or fit the mesh and trim then apply the gel(hope that makes sense).

Have recently had a go at sculpting with a form and L&P as 3/4 of my big toe nail fell off looked awful. You would never tell now though was very impressed with my self wish i had taken before pictures, Can now go on holiday and feel intact lol.

Great transformation Amber!

 

[pippadoodle]

Beautiful as always Amb, thanks for sharing. xx

 

[becca boo]

that is an awsome idea i never thought of putting a fabric piece down before the gel and since gel isnt very durable anyway thats a greatt way to add strength

thank u

Hi Amber,

Only just saw this ! Don't know how I missed it :smack:

Anyway, me being me and being very analytical, I was just wondering, the bit where the toenail is missing that you have replaced with silk and gel, won't water be able to get underneath there and cause greenies ??

I'm sorry if this sounds like a silly question, but as there is big "space" underneath the gel structure where there is no nail, it seems like water / moisture would be able to sit there quite happily getting up to no good .......
