      I cannot thank you enough. I have some damaged toenails and have had to spend a lot of money keeping them up. This video has saved me from having to choose between keeping my feet covered or the more expensive option of continously paying $$ for pedicures. Thank you for showing me that I can have the same look for less 💕

    Great video, Sis! You make it easy to understand too.
    A couple tips for people. Im not a tech, but I've been doing my own nails for over 20 years:
    When you do method 1 and dip the nail in acrylic, lightly tap the nail to get 9ff excess powder before putting it on your nail. Otherwise, that loose powder could cause adhesion issues if the glue doesn't wet it all, and they'll pop off.
    Please dont use gel of any kind, including builder gel, to put on pressons unless they are transparent ir translucent on the nail bed where the gel will go, or it won't cure, and you can develop an allergy, contact dermatitis. French styles typically are an example of nails with translucent (semi-see thru) nail beds. If you aren't sure, use regular nail glue. Dashing Diva has a thick gel-like glue thats air dry. I believe it's called Quick Bond. It's in a pink tube. I LOVE it. It's the only air dry glue I've been using. I've seen it on Amazon and on Sally's Beauty website.
    Just wanted to lookout. Gotta have each other's backs.

I even tried soaking fingers in pure acetone for 20 mins. Brutal. Although it stays, I didn’t want to use an efile for removal. In the end, I had to use it.

      It would look similar to an acrylic encapsulation which is fine. If someone struggles with acrylic like I do I would suggest using a clear builder gel on top & cure it with a led lamp. Bonus* The builder gel can also be used as a method of glue

      @@niharikakamatala If they’re super long I cut them down then soak them like a full set. Sometimes I use a nail file across the top make it thinner. (…..if I’m being lazy I bite them off 🫣) I recorded the removal process a while ago. Need to edit that & post it. Thanks for the reminder!
