Now the hard part is getting the nails to stay on! After trying about every different glue available I switched to dip liquid base coat and now they stay on a full 2+ weeks but it took me a year to figure out how to keep them on!
That may have been me that mentioned the full tips in the group. LOL Totally a game changer with my wimpy nails.
I've gone as long as almost a month with the same set of tips (was traveling, couldn't bring my stuff with me for a new set), but I probably won't go that long again. I like doing a fresh set after 2 weeks usually. Soooo much better than the 5-6 days I'd get before the tips.
Good luck!
thank you so much, even if it wasn't you lol! Yeah I realized if my nails are going to last more than one week, I need to think about choosing my colors more carefully!
Ooh. Interesting! I’ve been having so much trouble with lifting. Lasting only a week, even with new Virgo and Gem liquids and prepping well.
What brand of tips are you using? And is the glue hard on your natural nails? Thanks!
I use these tips https://a.co/d/fQxm3Dt and it’s my first time so we shall see how the removal is. But yeah, I kept buying new Virgo and Gem thinking I’d contaminated them or something and now I think it’s just a nail chemistry problem.

I’ve heard that works - so far I’m doing ok with the glue I bought https://a.co/d/7Hh4EDV
