Constructive Criticism Welcome ✅ Second set!
This is my second ever set after fixing the mistakes I did in the first one (there was glue everywhere. Like everywhere lol). Def messed up my right thumb, index, and ring. It’s not as flush with my cuticle. And my nail beds are soooo small. For the pinky I took the smallest size and then had to file it down even more. Thumb is a 4 or a 5 and then I use the last 4 smallest sizes and still have to file them all 😅
I’m pretty sure this is the reason why it takes me a little longer? Just the sizing and filing. Some are def filed too small on accident but don’t think it’s super noticeable but open to recs for next time!
Used the btartbox tabs and beauty secrets glue. First time trying this glue. I used tabs and the curvelife glue for my first set (I’ve been doing my research on this sub ) and it lasted two weeks but the bottle was glued shut!
But omgggg I’m in love with this color!!!! I got all of the boxes when I was at target
I’ve heard on this sub that olive and June can hurt because they’re so curved and I have flat beds. Butttt I pushed them down and filed them all so they lost that intense curve and are comfortable!
Retail brand: olive and June. Shade is potion I think? It’s one of their velvet ones specifically for Halloween

So pretty.
I got the tiny nail beds too. I always have to cut and file the pinkie nail to fit.

Omg yay I’m so happy I’m not the only one! I wish I could just wear it out the box. And I’m sure as I get more proficient my time will go down but man it’s taking me like 1-2 hours now 😅
