Nail tip blenders

[Tatty Herberts]

Good evening
Can anyone tell me if they have used a bottle of tip blender before on extensions? If so which would you recommend as so many to choose from on Amazon.

If your tips are taking so long to blend that you're thinking of tip blenders, I'd say maybe look at changing your tips (or possibly your files?)

Thanks blossom. No there are not taking long just saw a you tube video on tip blenders and was intrigued to see how well it works. Wondered if anyone would recommend.
Thanks for your reply.

Its basically acetone to melt the tip, save your money, you need to thin the whole tip any way to ensure the final nail is not bulky so spend the time perfecting your blending.

I buff upwards (abrasive on the tip and stroke upwards from tip towards cuticle direction) then you don't have to worry too much about hitting natural nail as your abrasive only touches the tip. Once you've thinned the whole tip blending the line is easier. I then hold my abrasive horizontally and again only on the tip, and stroke right to left to blend out the line.

It is practise that makes it easier but also you need to slow down and consider what you are doing....if you are filing but nothing is happening then look at your abrasive position....is it actually buffing the area you want? If not change position and try again...if its still not change again...once you master the skill it is pretty easy

Thanks you so much. This is really helpful.

Tip blenders can also comprise your tip, as mentioned by Trinity they're basically acetone , but the acetone that warp and cause marks on your tip, best to just stick with blending it in with a file
