Apexes don’t need to be thick or bulky. The goal is a gentle curve that blends seamlessly into the rest of the nail. Often, beginners build too much product when a subtle lift would do the job. 🫶

When holding the e-file, resting your pinky or the side of your hand on the client’s finger creates stability. This reduces the chance of slipping and makes your movements more precise. It’s a small adjustment that can boost both safety and confidence. 🌻

The apex shifts depending on nail length. 💅 For short to medium nails, it often sits closer to the center. For longer nails, it’s built slightly further back. Adjusting placement helps balance the nail so it wears comfortably. ⚖️

I’m doing a birthday press on set for my best friend and I want to know the best brand for nail glue af the tips will be fully covered by gel polish! Something that is sturdy but also can be easily removed if needed! Let me know if I have too high of expectations or if there is something out there!🫶🏼🥰

Recently I did a full set with acrylic. I'm using Soft gel pre-shaped tips instead of normal tips. - I made the well and etch the inside of the tips.then I opened a brand new glue which I bought maybe 1 year ago. It was fine for 2 days, then they all started to pop off. 😭 Do you think it's the glue too old or the tips are not suitable for application like this?
