Hey folks! I’m new to this hobby, but loving the creativity. However, I am struggling with my extensions.

I am currently using Apres Gelx XS natural almonds with their no wipe extend gel. But my nails are much flatter left to right than the tips. Possibly flatter front to back too, but left to right is the bigger issue.

This is making getting the right amount of glue difficult. I need to fill a cavity but not squeeze out the end 🫠

Should I look at different brands of tips?

Learn to shape extensions with builder gel? (I have builder on hand for fills)

Switch to Apres beginner glue?

Would a different shape (like rounds or longer almonds) be more flat? I think I do want to bump up a bit in length anyway.
