The Sims 4: New Game Patch (April 16th, 2024)

EA is releasing a new game update for The Sims 4 ahead of the release of the two upcoming kits, Urban Homage and Party Essentials.

The Sims Direct Communication shared a tweet that the patch will resolve the issue with an error message that is being shown to some players. See it below.

If you have auto updates enabled in Origin’s “Application Settings”, the game will auto-update once you open Origin. If you have auto-updates disabled, you will need to manually update by clicking the game in your library.

To ensure your game is up to date, check the game version found in Documents > EA > The Sims 4 > GameVersion.txt. Your game should now read: PC: 1.106.148.1030  / Mac: 1.106.148.1230 / Console: 1.91

Sul Sul Simmers!

In just a few days, you can get your hands on a fresh fit to wear to the best party on the block. The fun doesn’t stop there; we’ve also

Bug Fixes

Base Game

Plants that are alive and well will no longer emit green “stink clouds” as if they were dead. Translations related to this fix will be available in the next release!

After enforcing regulations with the Landgraab Power Company, power on a Sim’s lot will no longer be unexpectedly shut off when bills are paid in full.

What an identity crisis! Simmers playing in any language besides English will no longer see the First and Last Name panel blank in CAS for Sims that have selected pronouns.

Um, wasn’t this supposed to be a group activity? When doing Group Cooking, all Sims will now participate.

Gallery Server

We have been continually reviewing your Gallery profanity reports, which can be submitted through the The Sims 4 Gallery Profanity Filter Feedback survey, and we have been updating the ruleset to allow Simmer freedom while keeping others safe. A couple of highlights include:

Reducing the strictness of how hashtags were handled when listed in specific orders

Maxis-created Sims, even from past Sims games, should no longer be prevented from uploading if you choose to recreate one or more

Eco Lifestyle

We fixed an issue where The Dew Collector was not collecting any water. Now, it will correctly collect water, and the water level will continue to rise.

High School Years

Timestamps are now updated properly on the Social Bunny App. Phew, talk about FOMO!

Horse Ranch

While admirable, Sims will no longer express a desire to level up their Nectar Making skill, when that skill is already maxed out.

Yipee, Horse Riding now helps Sims lose weight!

For Rent

In this economy?! The maximum available rent value will no longer lower after evicting a tenant during a grace period in 11C Sungai Point.

Yikes. Now, this is going to require an audit! Landlords who own a Residential Rental Lot and own a business will no longer have fund transfer issues. Transfers from the business to the household will no longer fail, and money will no longer duplicate household funds when transferring to a business.

Crystal Creations

The shawl sweater from Crystal Creations is now visible when selecting a “Fashion Choice” in CAS filters. Please be advised that wearing this shawl did not grant the power of invisibility.

Realm of Magic

What a conundrum! When aliens abduct Spellcasters, they will now become pregnant and give birth to an alien baby instead of a Sim baby.

Werewolves

Tastes like kibble! After taking the ‘Wolf-B-Gone’ drink, Sims will no longer have a fury glow still showing.

Updated a series of CAS accessories that were originally showing up for werewolves, even though those accessories were not applicable to werewolves.

Grunge Revival

A texture issue with the chipped nails in Grunge Revival has been updated.

Poolside Splash

Textures on one of the tank tops have been updated to remove some texture bleeding.

Castle Estate

Hear ye, hear ye. All Castle Estate Windows have been updated to show up in the correct wall height categories.

The arrow slit window has been updated to show that it can be placed on curved walls.

The “Heraldic Crest of Yore” and the “The Eavesdropping Llama” have been updated to appear in Outdoor Wall Sculptures. Your castle has never looked better!

I was originally planning to do a whole section on the April SDX hair drop in my "Urban Homage" kit overview, but that's already a little longer than I originally anticipated... so here we are!

My thoughts under the cut ↓

I am never going to be mad at a free update, especially when they give us new hairs or update old hairs that have been driving the struggle bus for far too long. I personally love the color additions in both hairs and think the swatches are the perfect amount of vibrant and eye-catching.

I know people wish we had a color wheel or that the ombre additions could at least be in a different section (added on as an accessory like cc hairs do or even using the system we got with Cats & Dogs) but for now... this is what we got, and for what we got... I think these combinations are well done and effective. After I tried the duo-tone puffs on Ta'Nia, there was simply no going back to her original hairstyle (the braid buns from the Growing Together EP), and while I personally never used the old basegame braid style on the left due to it feeling dated and half-baked in the way that all basegame hairs do, I feel the duo-tone version refreshed it in a way that gave it new life! I'll get a lot of use out of both of these hairs, and I'm hopeful that they will fix the fact that toddlers have the color dyed puffs, but children do not...🤦. We already know it's not TS4 without some kind of bug or mistake though lol.

All in all, I'm more excited for the new hairstyle that they plan to drop in July (why so long from now ughhh) but the update on these hairs are a welcome addition to my game.

As always, I'd love to hear your guys' thoughts! Urban Homage review to come either late tonight or tomorrow afternoon!

YouTube 2022 Year in Review

Sorry for the wait on this one! This is what catching COVID after Christmas does to your schedule, I guess. This will be my first Year in Review post shared on Tumblr instead of Patreon! They're freely available to read either way, but this is a more suitable place to put it, probably. For those who don't know, in each of these posts I look back on the stuff I put out on YouTube throughout the past year, and perhaps share more interesting facts about them that I haven't before!

This year has been sort of a continuation of what happened in 2021. I graduated and got into a day job at the end of that year, so this year was mostly me adjusting to things, and as a result, output on the YouTube channel hasn't been as frequent as I'd hoped as I didn't have too much time to write/continue scripts.

However, I did explore other avenues for smaller-scale but still interesting topics, including the videos I put up on my rebranded second channel, Akfamilyhome Plus! I'll talk more about those videos later in the post. And of course, I started a Tumblr account, which you're currently reading from right now. In addition to that, I've been upgrading my computer setup as well, going from my 2017 MacBook Pro to a full-fledged PC for gaming and editing work! Migrating stuff over and adjusting my workflow for it wasn't super annoying, and thankfully the videos I made in the latter half of the year helped with that.

So anyway, stuff that I DID put out! Let's see what fun facts I can share along the way.

Every Unique Level Gimmick in New Super Mario Bros.

You could say this is the one "big" video I put out this year, and man I really wished I could've put out more of them! Regardless, what started as a small interesting discussion with a couple of mutuals about New Super Mario Bros. DS ended up as a pretty fun romp down memory lane and an excuse for me to babble about obscure Mario enemies! I was also very satisfied with the jokes in this one -- hopefully they weren't too bothersome for some of you lol

Of course, my list of what constitutes as unique level gimmicks isn't 100% accurate, some people have pointed out a few objects that actually did appear in later games like the tilting lava plaforms, but I think I still got most of them!

Some folks have asked if I'll do similar videos on later games of the NSMB series. Like other potential sequels to my videos, it's something I can consider, but considering they most likely have less unique gimmicks compared to the DS entry I'm not in the biggest rush to do so. There are still other overlooked aspects of the later games I could potentially talk about though, like the Coin Rush packs in NSMB2.

"10-in-1" Nintendo Switch Sports Accessories

Most of the videos released this year were kinda spontaneous ideas rather than the topics that were stuck in burnout limbo, including this video on plastic Switch Sports accessories that a Twitter poll convinced me to make! Yes, it is a simple review of plastic accessories at the end of the day, but some of them actually did surprise me a little and I thought the video struck a nice balance between constructive demonstration and dunk-fest.

For those asking about further testing...this accessory kit has since found a new home. Would rather have a family actually have a reason for using this than it taking up space at my place!

Since I found this accessory pack, there are other similar ones that have started popping up in stores here as well, including ones that contain golf clubs as well! ...I'm not sure if I want to make reviewing these a regular thing though.

Regarding my tangent during the Volleyball segment about using Joy-Con strapped to your arms and legs as VR trackers...there's already a tool that tries to pull that off called SlimeVR Wrangler! I have not tried it myself yet, but for those who have spare Joy-Con lying around this could be something to look into.

I bought the arcade version of Rhythm Tengoku

...that title kinda says it all! This all happened from me stumbling across an auction for the arcade game cartridge itself and biting the bullet, and documenting the whole process of getting it to work has been both frustrating AND fun (and perhaps even useful for other arcade noobs like me lol). I still have the cab where it is and it does still work when it wants to! Someday I might be able to hook up larger arcade-style controls to it or even build a standalone station or cab for it...but there is absolutely zero room at my place for a setup like this right now, so that will have to be in the very far future!

A month after this video was posted, a listing popped up on Yahoo Japan Auctions for the original control panel itself! ...at that point I didn't have more money to burn for both that and the necessary adapters and wiring to get it to work though, so hopefully it went to a good home.

Slightly unrelated, but it was a while since I posted an unscripted video on the main channel, and I thought I did a pretty good job in this one without stuttering or repeating too much! If you liked that and want to see more, I have more unscripted content over on Akfamilyhome Plus which I'll also touch on later!

The Famicom Disk System Cleaning Extravaganza

This is a case where I really just wanted to indulge in talking about the obscure of the obscure. I'm sure just generally talking about the Famicom Disk System and the stuff I've collected for it would make for a great video, but there actually hasn't been a YouTube video about these cleaning kits that aren't in Japanese! I also kinda liked the bootleg disk tangent, and hope that gave you an interesting glimpse at the early gaming scene in Hong Kong.

Like I said in the video, the cleaning spray counted as flammable material, so I wasn't able to ship it from Japan to Hong Kong. I'd like to thank PushDustIn for taking care of it in the meantime and also cameoing in the video! If anyone has further (legal) ideas on how to get that spray from Japan to Hong Kong, please let me know.

For those who were interested in the footage of early Hong Kong gaming stores shown in the video, I'd like to share its source! It's from a 1990 Japanese documentary featuring a local media personality investigating the booming Hong Kong video game market (and bootlegging scene). The clean rip I'm sharing below unfortunately doesn't have any subtitles (and the only reupload with subs I've seen was in Chinese), but it still shows some pretty fascinating accessories and scenes of a time period that even I was never around for!

Every Game I've Beaten in 2022

And here's my latest video, from...a few days ago as of this post! It's a quick review of every single game I've beaten during 2022, at nearly a game per minute! I would've loved to have it out earlier at the end of 2022, but then y'know, Christmas COVID happened.

As I said near the end of the video, I wanted it to be less of a simple "Top 10 Games of 2022" video and instead let me share a wild grab bag of games from different generations that might pique others' interest, and reading some of the comments, it seems that it accomplished exactly that! Thank you to those who watched it all the way.

I'm definitely down to do a similar video at the end of 2023 as well, but it hopefully will be shorter. I might write down each of these review sections as I finish each game as well, rather than doing it as one big batch near the end of the year. Actually, 2 games are already on the list so far. How many will it end up with? We'll see!

Akfamilyhome Plus videos

And that's not all, as I've shared quite a few unscripted videos on Akfamilyhome Plus this year! There have been new meme videos and core video commentaries posted this year, as well as a fun random idea I had of asking folks in my Discord server to GUESS! THAT! NINTENDO! IMPRINT! (you can watch the video above if you haven't yet)

Near the end of 2021, I started posting bonus unscripted videos for Patreon supporters. A handful of those videos have also been posted publicly since, so you can now enjoy videos of me:

Checking out four different variants of Tetris on the Game Boy

Trying the Hong Kong version of the Famicom

Write-protecting a Famicom disk

Flipping through a licensed Chinese Mario 64 strategy guide

Playing a 3DS game upside down

Messing with the GBA wireless adapter

Visiting a private retro museum in Hong Kong

Reminiscing about every 3DS Puzzle Swap panel

And throwing a Famicom disk into water!

And for patrons, there's still a bunch of exclusive videos available, from checking out the Nintendo DSi XL Demo Video carts, to reading the 2010 Nintendo anti-piracy manual! As more videos are posted on Patreon, some of the older ones will rotate out into public availability, and that's how I'd like to keep it going for a while. But if you can't wait around or want to show your support, all these videos are available on Patreon for as low as only 1 USD a month and will remain so for the forseeable future!

(It also gives you quick access to my semi-closed Discord server, but if you'd like a peek at this chill place of discussion, here's a 25-use invite link as thanks for reading all the way down here!)

That's almost everything I've put out on YouTube this year! That's not even counting the time I freaked out at Chris Pratt Mario!

This year, while I'll still be trying to get some of my limbo scripts off the ground, I'll probably embrace more spontaneous ideas like I did during 2022 as well, so I don't fall too heavily into a production rut. And after a year at my day job, I hope this year I can strike the balance between that and YouTube work more easily. I'd like to revamp my Patreon presentation later this year as well and continue to make cool stuff for it as thanks! The dream of being able to do YouTube work full time continues.

Thank you for your continued support, and hopefully this year will be a better one!

Here’s my note before I’ll get started….

(NO COPYING OR PLAGIARIZING FROM ME AND ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIEND’S WORK! THAT INCLUDES OUR CHARACTERS, DESIGNS, STUFF, ETC. IMPOSTERS AND SEXBOTS ARE NOT WELCOME TO FOLLOW MY BLOG WHATSOEVER! 😡 That will be all….I mean it.)

My 2023 item review - Dockable Case (w/ Screen Protector and Thumb Grips) - Part 1 [Jan. 9th, 2023]

Good morning to my all good friends and closest friends! Sorry for taking so long, but I’m back of bringing you this month’s review that everyone is waiting for. Though as a build up for my upcoming ones throughout this year. Do wish me luck I’m having; including ones that I haven’t touch as of yet. 

Anyways, here’s my first start of 2023 by checking this new accessories that I got it from last year’s Christmas; including two controllers which I’ll get to that for my upcoming reviews soon. If you wanted to know, then please check out my 2022 Christmas gifts post before reading this. Link Here

If you’re done though, it’s time I get started by showing off for today’s review so far. 

⬆️ 1st and 2nd Images

This here was my dockable/protection case and other accessories for my Nintendo Switch system. I waited for so long since after owning my gaming device from 2019. However it just needed things if I ever gonna keep playing games in handheld mode. Not because I’m not into playing on dock mode anymore though. Anywho, I check on this box front and back before getting started with the unboxing. Looks nice that it features art from Splatoon for the front. Hinting at the front cover, by the way.

⬆️ 3rd to 5th Image

Now for the unboxing part where I take a look on separate packages; which includes protection cases and other accessories. And by other accessories, I mean screen protector kit and thumb grip caps that I’m gladly using.

⬆️ 6th to 8th Images

A closer look of three items/accessories; including this simple instruction of how to remove front cover from my Joy-Cons. I think I’ll be handle this for a while, but hope at least I won’t scratch them by accidents. 

⬆️ 9th and 13th Images

And lastly, the screen protector and back cover. These are things I’ll be needed because it’s obvious. Hope it can fit my Nintendo Switch system of what it promise. Right now though is checking them up close; including the back cover while putting with Joy-Cons covers each side.  No overall thoughts for today, but do hope I’ll be back with part two as I getting started to assemble with my gaming handheld hybrid. However, looking good while doing this unboxing already. Stay tuned, everyone! 👍

Tamagotchi 4U Review

It's finally here! The review of 4U. I have to admit - I never thought I would own this model. I randomly found a basically unused Tama on a Facebook group for a ridiculously low price (the seller had no idea how much that little buddy is worth.) And every time I look at my Tama shelf, I thank myself for following through with this deal. Sometimes all you need is luck!

General score: 7/10

Design

First off, I really love the shell design. I have the white shell - when I saw the offer, I didn't actually know what was the shell choice in this model. After checking out the other designs, I believe that the one I have is totally the best. I love everything about it - it's very minimalistic and the golden ring around the silver faceplate looks amazing. The faceplate is under a thick layer of plastic, making the silver shimmer with depth. The plastic is very easy to remove, so customisation is very common with this model. I think it's a cool feature.

The buttons are placed shallowly in the faceplate. I love them - they are super responsive and you need very little strength to click them, as opposed to Meets, where the buttons hide deep in the toy and demand more force. They give this slight, pleasant resistance - to me, clicking them is just a nice sensation.

The back of the toy is flat. That's linked to the connection feature, which I will talk about more later. I like that shape a lot - the Tama doesn't spin around when you put it down and doesn't get as many scratches at the back. It's stable and you can play with it while it's resting on the desk.

The most important one is the NFC system. 4U doesn't use infrared - instead, there is a special touch place at the back of the toy. There used to be touch spots around Japan that allowed you to download new content. You can connect your Tama to other ones by touching their backs.

2. Unique mechanics

There were a few Touch Cards released. They contain new content, including unique characters. It's basically like an older version of Tama SmaCards for Smart. I never really considered getting one because the additional stuff wasn't really up my alley (especially the designs of the new characters - I don't like Tamas based on humans, which was the case with some collaboration cards.)

4U includes the 4 petal clover element from previous Japanese releases. Each character has a favourite meal, item and accessory. The 4th petal is earned once you have the adult character for 48 hours.

Skills are another feature characteristic for this model. There are 3 basic skills and 5 school ones. The basic skills are using the bathroom, bathing and cleaning the house. They can be earned only as a child, which is quite difficult, considering how quickly the characters in 4U become adults. The school skills are: invention, fashion, sports, art and cooking. As an adult you can go to school, where you get them. You need items associated with those skills (experiment set, sewing kit, ball, clay and frying pan) and the notebook to be able to participate in the classes. The amount of times you need to attend the class to get the skill depends on your character.

The last thing worth mentioning are the guests in the garden. They visit only when your character is an adult. The garden option isn't very elaborate, however from time to time either a seller or guest will come around. If it's the seller, you can get unique items in a good price. If it's a guest, they will ask you for help with some projects. Being able to help them depends on your school skills. If you have the skill they need, they will give you a whooping 1000 gotchi points. Considering how little you can get from the games, that's a great deal.

3. Characters and growth cycle

And here we have probably the biggest bummer of this model, something that didn't let me give it a higher score. There is no teen stage.

...what now?

Yeah. Your Tamagotchi will go from child straight to an adult. The growth cycle is very short. You barely have the time to teach your pet the 3 basic skills. If you're a fan of the younger stages, you'll be bothered by that, for sure.

On the other hand, every character has secret evolution stages obtained by special care or performing some actions/using items etc. To me, it's more of an additional fun thing, rather than a fair replacement of the teen stage, especially since the secret stages are temporary and can be reversed.

There aren't that many characters to obtain in general. Maybe the original idea was that the downloadable content will compensate for that, but once the cards stopped being sold and the touch spots were gone from Japan, we're left with a quite poor model (in terms of evolution.)

All in all, I think that the removal of the teen stage was a big mistake. It's probably my biggest issue with 4U.

4. Games

There are only 3 games included. Two of them are in the Game Centre, and one in the park.

The Game Centre games are Bowling and Spaceship. They are easy and quick. Winning them gives you 200 gotchi points. I have to mention that the Spaceship game has a beautiful background. A real work of pixel art.

The park game is longer, but it makes your Tama lose a lot of weight. You need to follow the dance sequence by pressing the right buttons. Watch out - at some point you will need to use a combo of 2 buttons. Start pressing them when the "Push" icon shows on the screen - if you do it too early, it will be counted as a mistake, leading to losing the game.

I wish there were more games. I often have this problem with the colour-screen Tamas - they seem a bit lazy when it comes to the minigames. The exception is Pix, of course. That one is actually great. Here? Not that entertaining, still quite alright.

5. Aesthetics

As I've mentioned in the "Design" section, I love the outside appearance of this model. And I have to admit that 4U looks great also when it comes to the screen!

You can easily tell that it's an older colour-screen Tama, with less detailed animations and character designs, but it's not any sort of issue - the animations are still very pretty and the characters are fun. I love the design of the basic room. Though there are wallpapers you can buy, I always stick to the basic one due to how cosy it looks.

You can give your Tama accessories, both clothes and head coverings. However, that works only on adults in their basic form - the special stages can't wear anything.

Due to the amount of official and fan-made faceplates and other accessories, 4U is very customisable. So if you're into this sort of fun, it's a good model to choose.

An important thing to note is how vivid the screen colours are. The quality of the screen is amazing - the shapes are sharp and even the background patterns are vibrant. 4U is perfect for taking photos of what's going on the screen. I'd say that it's super photogenic, which is not the case with Pix that has a softer screen that need a proper lighting.

Generally, 4U is so pretty that sometimes I play with it just for the sake of looking at it.

6. Battery life

Not much to say here. It's good. This model isn't as involving as e.g. Pix or Meets, so you rather won't be spending that much time actively playing with it. That means long periods between battery change/recharge. As always, I recommend AAA rechargeable batteries.

7. Conclusion

Tamagotchi 4U seems like a solid product to me. Not my favourite when it comes to gameplay, but still very nice. I like it a lot. Good choice if you don't have that much time to spend playing with your pet - it's easy to take care of them (and if you manage to teach your Tama how to use the bathrooms, you won't even have to worry about cleaning up after them.)

The biggest weakness is the growth cycle, but if you don't care that much about having a varied choice of pets, I consider it a decent and fun Tamagotchi.

The Sims 4: New Game Patch (April 16th, 2024)

EA is releasing a new game update for The Sims 4 ahead of the release of the two upcoming kits, Urban Homage and Party Essentials.

The Sims Direct Communication shared a tweet that the patch will resolve the issue with an error message that is being shown to some players. See it below.

To ensure your game is up to date, check the game version found in Documents > EA > The Sims 4 > GameVersion.txt. Your game should now read: PC: 1.106.148.1030  / Mac: 1.106.148.1230 / Console: 1.91

Sul Sul Simmers! In just a few days, you can get your hands on a fresh fit to wear to the best party on the block. The fun doesn’t stop there; we’ve also got some updates coming your way! The Sims Team

Sul Sul Simmers!

In just a few days, you can get your hands on a fresh fit to wear to the best party on the block. The fun doesn’t stop there; we’ve also got some updates coming your way!

The Sims Team

Bug Fixes

Base Game

Plants that are alive and well will no longer emit green “stink clouds” as if they were dead. Translations related to this fix will be available in the next release!

After enforcing regulations with the Landgraab Power Company, power on a Sim’s lot will no longer be unexpectedly shut off when bills are paid in full.

What an identity crisis! Simmers playing in any language besides English will no longer see the First and Last Name panel blank in CAS for Sims that have selected pronouns.

Um, wasn’t this supposed to be a group activity? When doing Group Cooking, all Sims will now participate.

Gallery Server

We have been continually reviewing your Gallery profanity reports, which can be submitted through the The Sims 4 Gallery Profanity Filter Feedback survey, and we have been updating the ruleset to allow Simmer freedom while keeping others safe. A couple of highlights include:

Reducing the strictness of how hashtags were handled when listed in specific orders

Maxis-created Sims, even from past Sims games, should no longer be prevented from uploading if you choose to recreate one or more

Eco Lifestyle

We fixed an issue where The Dew Collector was not collecting any water. Now, it will correctly collect water, and the water level will continue to rise.

High School Years

Timestamps are now updated properly on the Social Bunny App. Phew, talk about FOMO!

Horse Ranch

While admirable, Sims will no longer express a desire to level up their Nectar Making skill, when that skill is already maxed out.

Yipee, Horse Riding now helps Sims lose weight!

For Rent

In this economy?! The maximum available rent value will no longer lower after evicting a tenant during a grace period in 11C Sungai Point.

Yikes. Now, this is going to require an audit! Landlords who own a Residential Rental Lot and own a business will no longer have fund transfer issues. Transfers from the business to the household will no longer fail, and money will no longer duplicate household funds when transferring to a business.

Crystal Creations

The shawl sweater from Crystal Creations is now visible when selecting a “Fashion Choice” in CAS filters. Please be advised that wearing this shawl did not grant the power of invisibility.

Realm of Magic

What a conundrum! When aliens abduct Spellcasters, they will now become pregnant and give birth to an alien baby instead of a Sim baby.

Werewolves

Tastes like kibble! After taking the ‘Wolf-B-Gone’ drink, Sims will no longer have a fury glow still showing.

Updated a series of CAS accessories that were originally showing up for werewolves, even though those accessories were not applicable to werewolves.

Grunge Revival

A texture issue with the chipped nails in Grunge Revival has been updated.

Poolside Splash

Textures on one of the tank tops have been updated to remove some texture bleeding.

Castle Estate

Hear ye, hear ye. All Castle Estate Windows have been updated to show up in the correct wall height categories.

The arrow slit window has been updated to show that it can be placed on curved walls.

The “Heraldic Crest of Yore” and the “The Eavesdropping Llama” have been updated to appear in Outdoor Wall Sculptures. Your castle has never looked better!

Guide to Choosing Nail Extension Kit Essentials: Everything You Need for Salon-Quality Nails at Home

Dreaming of perfect, salon-quality nails without the hefty price tag? A nail extension kit can be your best friend. Whether you’re a beginner or a nail enthusiast looking to up your game, this guide will help you choose the essential tools and products for creating stunning nail extensions at home.

Acrylic Nail Extension Essentials

- Acrylic Powder and Liquid: These are the core components. The powder and liquid combine to form a paste that hardens into a durable extension. - Nail Forms or Tips: Forms are placed under the natural nail to create a base for the acrylic, while tips are glued to the nail and then coated with acrylic. - Nail Primer: This prepares your natural nails for the acrylic, ensuring better adhesion and longer-lasting extensions. - Dappen Dish: A small container to mix your acrylic powder and liquid. - Acrylic Brush: A high-quality brush specifically designed for applying acrylic. - Nail File and Buffer: To shape and smooth the acrylic extensions. - Top Coat and UV/LED Lamp: A top coat seals the acrylic and adds shine, while a UV/LED lamp cures the top coat.

Gel Nail Extension Essentials

- Builder Gel: The primary product used to create the extensions. It comes in a pot or a bottle with a brush. - Nail Forms or Tips: Similar to acrylic, forms or tips provide the base for the gel extensions. - Nail Primer: Ensures the gel adheres properly to your natural nails. - Gel Brush: A brush specifically designed for applying builder gel. - UV/LED Lamp: Essential for curing the gel and making it hard and durable. - Nail File and Buffer: For shaping and smoothing the extensions. - Top Coat: Seals the gel and adds a glossy finish.

Additional Tools and Accessories

- Cuticle Pusher and Nippers: For prepping your nails by pushing back and trimming cuticles. - Nail Glue: For attaching nail tips. - Lint-Free Wipes: For cleaning and wiping nails without leaving fibers. - Nail Brush: To dust off excess powder or filings. - Cuticle Oil: To nourish and hydrate your cuticles after the extension process.

Tips for Choosing the Right Kit

- Quality Over Quantity: Invest in high-quality products, even if it means fewer items. Good quality products last longer and give better results. - Read Reviews: Check online reviews and ratings to find trusted brands and products. - Starter Kits: If you’re a beginner, look for starter kits that include all the essentials in one package.

Creating beautiful nail extensions at home is easier than ever with the right kit. By choosing the essentials tailored to your preferred method — acrylic, gel, or dip powder — you can achieve salon-quality nails from the comfort of your home. Remember, practice makes perfect, so take your time, follow the steps, and soon you’ll be flaunting gorgeous, professional-looking nails!
