do you prefer using the gold nail forms or tips better...and why? Ive seen nails been done both ways but still unsure which is easier/more practical... :) ps - Great vid xx

@pixijasmine

Hey there. I really like both. It depends on what I'm doing. If I'm making a shaped nail like a stiletto I tend to use the forms (gold things) If I'm just doing a fast plain pair of extensions I'll use the pre made glue on tips. I think the nail forms might be a bit more time consuming but they let me be a bit more creative. Thanks for the compliment and thanks for asking.

What is that gold thing??????

[kellmowat]

@2201chloe . I think you're asking about the gold nail form, Nail forms are used to hold the shape of the acrylic liquid and powder or gel until they set. After the product cures or hardens the form is removed and thrown away. They're a little foil sticker that the nail building products don't stick to. Hope that answers your question.

are the martha stewart glitters expensive?

@simplicityx0

I think it depends where and when you buy them. On sale at Michael's they're very reasonable. I got a kit of 12 colours for under $25.00.

Paint Brush is just straight to the topic ...!!!

[pixijasmine]

@kellmowat Ah! well, that makes sense...I guess I would just have to try both ways and see which works best for me & what I want to do....Thank yous! xx
