Well I finally have my linkie extensions and i love them , the only issue is this, after bending them/closing them the colour on the outside
which is a dark brown I decided to buy in the end, has started to crack and almost peel off on some,revealing the silver colour undeneathe,I am using the silicone lined ones.
Is this normally an issue? I bought them off ebay, should I complain? or is this just what happens?
And, if it is not the norm then can someone suggest a decent UK seller of linkies/micro rings on and off ebay.
thanks

Did you use flat closures? If you used ones that are ridged it can cause the outside to look cracked. If you used flat ones, then this shouldn't happen.

Re: microrings/linkies cracking?
It could also be poor quality beads/crimp.
A lot of the stuff off eBay (that comes from China mostly) is low quality, which is why it's so cheap.
So it could be a combination of things, but I'd say poor quality and the pliers/closures would be main contributing factors.
