Item 1 of 2
This might be a little longer post and I'm sorry in advance but I need help and I want to be specific . I use the tippex full cover instant apex gel x by Beetles with the beetles uv glue. I have had no issues and I've done probably about six sets now I'm getting better with my artwork but the ones I want to do for Christmas I cannot do my peppermint swirl with my non-dominant hand . I had the idea to make the nails in advance and then use them like a press on for the peppermint nails the only problem is I cannot cure them with the UV lamp because the UV supposedly won't penetrate the painted nail to cure the glue which makes sense but I don't know they glue that is thick enough to use as a press on glue that is not UV cure for a nail with this high of a built-in Apex someone online recommended polygel but again I can't cure it I've seen multiple tutorials of people using acrylic powder with me monomer to attach press-ons I'm curious if something like that would be the best option . I did order some thick glue on Amazon that I'm going to try and hopefully that will work but I need another option in case it doesn't another option that is not UV cure if you're not familiar with the instant Apex in this brand it creates a really big pocket between the nail and your natural nail which is okay if you're using the UV glue because it perfectly fills it .
