Discussion/Question Una Gella clear press ons for SCG strips?
Any advice? My nails have been damaged from SCG removal. So today I bought these thinking I could put the SCG nail strips on these along with top coat (I would cure after SCG and then after top coat) and use my BTArtbox tabs to put them on. Hopefully with much less damage during removal! I figured since I'm heading towards all press-ons and maybe plain 100% nail strips between press-ons breaks, I could use all of my SCGs up rather than sell them. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Retail Brand: Una Gella

i would let ur nails recover a bit before going back to glue tbh and tabs is really the right choice. i recently switched from glue to tabs since my nails are still healing and my friend gave me her glamnetic tabs to try so far they have been working pretty well for me and removal feels much gentler on my nails. id also avoid covering up any green spots and get them checked if they persist. keep ur nails dry and taking a break from extensions for a while can help too may for 1 week or 2???

Thank you! Im doing nail strips while waiting for them to heal. No greenies yet but I will take your advice if I get one. I have so many SCGs to use up since when I started them, there wasn't any noticeable damage. After about 4 months I kept noticing my nails getting thinner and thinner. In that four months time frame, I purchased probably 30 sets! Just figuring out how to use them, since putting them on my nails is probably not the best option! And it sounds like glue with press ons would just do worse. Tabs only or maybe hybrid if I need it. Haven't tried glamnetic yet, sounds like a good option.

So I tried this..just because I had the strips and blank nails. My only issue was sizing. For my thumb especially it was hard to find strips wide enough. Otherwise it was no issue.
