When doing or getting acrylics / gels, do you prefer tips or forms? :)
I usually do tips because that's the way I learned but I think I'm going to start doing the forms! Thoughts?

what are forms?

This is a form :) It goes under the natural nail and then you can extend out the acrylic or gel as long as desired / to whichever shape is desired, rather than adding a tip and shaping it. It seems like there might be a learning curve to it hahaha but a lot of nail techs I follow on IG prefer the forms so I'm interested lol :)

I don't know that technique... I always do mine on my natural nails since they are pretty strong and long. do you have pictures of the end result?

That's pretty cool... I've seen it used as an extension when someone breaks a nail or something similar... but maybe you should go with forms.. its different and I'm sure that's a good enough reason to try it out lol.

@Genevieve I am jealous lol I wishhhh my natural nails were long and strong :) These nails were all done by Nuni Torres with forms! His work is amazing

@Elizabeth that's how I first heard about them too!! I think I'm going to buy some and see how it goes :)

Ahh Traci that's what I'm afraid of! 🙈🙈🙈 Watching tutorials online they do it perfect in like 2 seconds but doing it myself will prolly take an hour each nail hahaha!

Forms are too complicated to me. I start with tips and as my own nail grows I continue to apply it on my natural nail.
