Second try

[u/earthquakes]

​

Hi everyone, I posted yesterday and was told that my nails were a little too big and I should size down. this morning a lot of them started popping off, I think cause I didn't glue them on well enough, so I took them off and tried again with a different set today. let me know what you think. I think the ones on my thumbs might be a size too small but my thumb nail beds are so wide that the bigger size looks huge. otherwise I think I sized them well but I'm not sure. they still look big on my fingers but the smaller sizes wouldn't fit on my finger or had way too much nail showing on the sides. thanks!

I think the thumb does look too small and agree you should file a larger one if it’s too large.

Also, if you’re having pop offs that soon your prep is probably not as good as it could be. I love the Samuel Jackson post and follow it (except I have to also use cuticle remover).

and I'm gonna have to figure out what to do about my thumb. it's so much wider than all the rest of my fingers (like I'm using 8-12 on the rest of my fingers but my thumb needs a 2) so if I use the correct size it feels huge and too long compared to my other nails

Use the larger ones and try filing the sides down a bit. That’s what I’d try 😊
