@Lakisha Antoine also, here are some chrome isolation tutorials done by me, @Emily Meyers and @Celine Hays 🫶 Hope they're able to help! https://www.skool.com/nail-business-resources-6629/isolated-chrome-leaf-tutorial?p=75a8692a https://www.skool.com/nail-business-resources-6629/3-d-chain-nail-art?p=15ad13cd https://www.skool.com/nail-business-resources-6629/isolated-chrome-2?p=29128271

@Amber Langley Welcome Amber 🥳 there are heaps of nail art tutorials in the space already (with more to come). Sometimes they're even done on lives, so you can hop in and ask questions 🫶. If you ever have any requests, just shout. I'm sure one of our lovely members would love to help and create something for you!

This is also in the Intermediate Art Tutorials classroom module

@Chloe Payne oooh, yes please! I was thinking about how to make the sections "bigger", if that makes sense. And maybe more bright of a blue? 🤔 I'd love to see what you gals come up with 😍

I've got all the stuff for it, I just chucked it in a drawer and forgot about it. But I will dust it off and start playing with it again so we can see if we can figure it out 🫶

I do know some plates are better than others, some aren't etched deep enough, and that sometimes causes transfer issues. But there are definitely some good ones from the cheaper sites. Patting gel - haven't tried it for stamping, to be honest 🤔. I *think* they could work? But that may be formula-based. To be fair though, you're probably better off getting the stamping polishes. They have fast-drying formulas that'll be better at capturing fine, intricate details cleanly without shrinking or shifting on the stamper. Gels tend to pool, self-level, and blur fine lines, making them much harder to pick up and transfer.

@Karen Fletcher May I ask why you apply rubber base between the builder gel and gel polish? 🫶

@Cat Tortorice sorry for the delay on this! So with the inhibition layer, you definitely can get to a point where your application is so well done that you technically can just go straight from cure to gel polish. I still choose to, purely for application preference, because the tacky layer can sometimes create friction, making it harder to smoothly glide your gel polish brush without streaking. 🫶 for the skin contact when doing your own nails - practice 😂. It is really tricky to do application and hold your skin back single-handed unfortunately. But you'll definitely get there with time. To this day I still do it from time to time, those little cotton-tipped sticks are the best thing to happen to my career 😆
