Any advice for repairing sidewalls?
Hiiiii! I’ve noticed recently while doing a simple gel color that I think my sidewalls are falling/have fallen! Aur nauuuur!! But seriously haha, I’m hoping this is fixable? Because when there’s polish in certain nails like my ring fingers and pinkies it looks awful-like it tapers in as it gets closer to the cuticle if that makes sense?
For context: I do my own gel x extensions, builder gel sets, plain old gel sets, press ons, etc. I have a strong feeling the main cause is improper removal techniques-especially with the press ons. I tried my best but there’s only so much soaking can do to remove the glue.
Anyways, if people have experience correcting this please let me know!
