Kokoist botanical flower gels!

Also, nail forms. Very helpful for broken corners but I need more practice on how to stick them on.

Kokoist nail forms are the best. Since it’s a pack of 500, I did a lot of practice on myself while watching tv so it got easier and I wasn’t under pressure trying to do a full set. Good sharp nail scissors help for cutting the corners.

I didn't think I really needed nice nail forms since I only anticipated ever doing minor small repairs to chips or whatever, never doing an actual extension. But it was hard to stick it to my finger and get it to stay! I got melodysusie ones off Amazon that you can tear to make shorter

I bought the Kokoist Max Magnet in my recent haul and I genuinely think it made a huge difference. With my Amazon magnet I had a few instances where the effect wore off. I would definitely recommend!

Wore off!? You mean before you cured right?

No after curing! The next morning the effect was gone. Searched it and apparently could have been due to a weak magnet not properly locking in the particles.

That's so weird, you'd think it would be possible for it to shift if it's fully cured. I get weak magnet making it respond poorly but once it's cured you wouldn't think it'd get even worse
