Probably should not use the modern almond DF if trying to create classic/salon almond… classic almond does not have a straight top with upwards lower parallels. Additionally, there will be a ledge as soon as the nail grows out on the under side & there was no work done to try to correct the appearance of the gel on the bottom sides at the points of growth. The apex area also looks too large probably because incorrect size was chosen (to try to compensate for the lack of free edge to make sure there was sufficient gel on parallels, but again this is a mistake). This is a customer complaint waiting to happen 🫤
@@natashaalicia8105 the product should avoid contact with skin as much as possible, but the method shown in this video uses an oversized form that ensures gel is cured onto the client’s skin- the narrator even tells us about filing off the excess on the sides of the finger. As well this method even cures gel onto the tip of the finger beneath, on the underside. Rather than the correct method where gel is never ever cured onto skin and any forms used are properly sized to make absolutely certain only the nail plate touches gel and only the nail plate is cured. This method of repeatedly applying and curing gel onto the skin will have a very high probability of leading to allergy because the nail file is used to abrade the product off the skin. So it’s micro tears in the skin after curing gel into the skin. Which is pretty much the exact process to develop any allergy: tear skin, scrub substance into the tears. If a technician uses correctly sized forms, the client will only have gel on the nail plate and any filing will be over the nail not into the skin. Hope this makes sense. Best of luck!
I would use carbide bit under the nail as it looked a little bulky

This is a gel allergy waiting to develop...
How so?
