I love your designs and you're helping me become a better nail artist! I am disabled and have extremely shaky hands so I really cheat! I wear glue on nails and I paint them before I put them on. I use the vinyl strips and this allows me to stabilize my hands for putting on the strip and painting them one nail at a time. I think it's a good hack for anyone who wears glue-ons.
for the beauty blender one, you have to find a place in the sponge that is completely flat and pull the plastic so it is tight around the sponge! it works amazingly!
I loved that gel liner it looked “easy enough” I have soooo many stamping plates and different size stampers and I CANNOT get an image on that stamper to save my life 🤷🏻♀️ RU-vid makes it look sooooo easy I don’t know what I’m doin wrong 🤷🏻♀️
Hi Gabby! You are always so beautiful and poised! Your nails are just lovely! Thank you for this vid. For me, if it is regular polish, it is always easier to use vinyls, stencils, liner tape, etc. If it is gel, I just slap some polish on there and use a clean up brush and alcohol to get the perfect smile line. You could also use a gel base coat and put regular polish on the tip and use a clean up brush and acetone to perfect it. All those other hacks seem like not hacks lol. You waist polish with them, how is that a hack?
Curious, how you deal with the brush in the lid that comes with the polish--while you're using the separate liner brush?? I tried something like that with an angle brush --b4 seeing your video-- & it was messy especially with my non-dominant hand!!
1:47 Important: the finger "stamper" tip is okay for normal nail polish, but PLEASE if anyone here considered doing so using a gel polish: don't put gel polish on your skin!!! Exposing skin to uncured gel polish may cause allergic reactions which will then last forever and may even activate when you will try to use a regular nail polish! So a french tip is not worth it a lifelong allergy to polish; better use a nail stamper instead and protect your fingers from contact with gel!
Cool hacks thanks!!! But I'd like to know how to do it with a colored base? Because I want to paint my nail a color and then have a French tip on top so how would that work with the stickers? Would it pull the polish off or can I paint the bottom with the sticker still on? And what would happen to that line, like it would leave a gap right?? 🤔🤔 Hope that made sense LMAO 🤦🏼♀️🤣🤣🤣
I have a real problem! Every white nail polish I have just smudges and gèts hairy, or has holes in it! I use Essie 5ml Blanc white with ESSIE HERE STAY BASECOAT AND ESSIE No chips topcoat! I use Essence nail dry drops and Elegant Touch spray, I waited 1 hour and my French manicure STILL smudged! Help??? Uk 🇬🇧
