    I've been using this kit for months now. I love it and over time, I've gotten even better at it - now my nails look better than if I was to get them at the salon! I do recommend getting a full hand led nail lamp to save time and using the small beetles lamp to flash cure/secure the nails and then using the full led lamp to set them all at once.

    You don’t actually need to add a dehydrator to the nail tip itself, if you had a primer that’s what you would add to the nail tip to help the tip adhere to your nail bed. Your nail dehydrator is just cleaning your nails of oil and sanitizing your nail bed, just like if you had just used rubbing alcohol.
    And also the “gel nail glue” is essentially a rubber base coat or a builder gel. Beetles Calling it “nail glue” Is just advertising like apres called theirs Extend gel.
    If you’re having any problems with the tip popping off I would recommend you either etching your nail tip with a nail drill or scrubbing part of the inside of tip with pure acetone, or brushing on a primer on the inside nail tip before you apply it.
    But regardless you did a really good job, I’m about to buy the sticker it very fast, simple and cute nail design,

    • @andrearodriguez4208
      @andrearodriguez4208 2 роки тому

    I just ordered another one of these. I like the new style light they have. You don't have to push the button anymore it's sensored now
