I only do my nails at home on myself, but these are the details I've been missing that make the difference between homemade and pro nails!!

@EricasNails Год назад

Exactly! Anyone can do nails like a pro, it just takes the right education 🥰

Your video is awesome… I so needed this kind of teaching when I started doing nails 35 years ago. I trashed my shoulders and back after 30 years and had to stop😢

@EricasNails Год назад

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that! We're glad to be able to help out 💕🫶

@roxette2 Год назад

This is standard BIAB over here in the UK.....I noticed there wasn't any filing shaping as the video went on.

@elanavanderwalt6113 6 месяцев назад

Do you keep the sticky layer of the gel or do you wipe it before colour gelpolish ??❤

@ashleyisachild Месяц назад

After you spray the alcohol, what kind of brush are you using? and why brush into the opened cuticle and not brush away and off the tip of the fingers? 🌸

@artyshefartsy Год назад

This video is amazing! It's so well filmed and thought out. Any questions about hard gel were answered in this video! I have the basics down, and I feel like I'm doing an okay job at building the nail, but sometimes I get a little lifting at the free edge. The nail is curling a little more and the gel around it is separating away from my free edge. Any tips or videos to prevent that? Thank you!!

@EricasNails Год назад

Thank you so much, I'm glad you're finding the videos helpful 🫶 To prevent lifting, file the nails at a 45 degree angle, tilted towards you. Avoid filing at 90 degrees -- We'll be covering this tip in upcoming videos this spring!

@mistieh3016 Год назад

Do you ever use poly gel?

@brendafranklin6113 Месяц назад

I have extremely thin nails, and I haven't found a manicurist that does e-filing in this way that doesn't over file or make my nails look flat ( no apex builibg). What should I be asking/looking for? I live in Baltimore MD. Thank you!!!

The Hand Exfoliation is a great way to up sell to your clients. How often would you recommend one to do a hand exfoliation?

Every service!

can you do more videos about light and dark colour application please?

we can definitely make note of this, thank you so much for the suggestion 🥰

@user-lt9yi7zr4f Год назад

I am looking to start doing my nails at home & have some questions regarding curing. Do you do 1 coat primer and 1 coat base on one hand and cure the entire hand and repeat with other hand? For the second coat of base, do you do 1 finger at a time and cure each finger as you go and how long for? For the 2 coats of color, do you do one coat of color on one hand and cure? How long do you cure the 1st coat and 2nd coat of color? How long do you cure the top coat for?

@EricasNails Год назад

1. You can either cure one nail at a time or the whole hand, and you can alternate hands during the process. Wait at least 20 seconds for the primer to air dry before apply the first base coat, too 2. Either do the whole hand or one nail at a time -- Cure for 1 minute 3. You do want to cure each layer of color 4. Cure each layer of color for 30 seconds 5. Cure the top coat for around a minute

@JennyThan-pe8bd 2 месяца назад

Hello dear Structure nails we need do gel base coat first before we polish color? Thank for your video

@EricasNails 2 месяца назад

Yes! @ 8:03 you'll see Luminary Clarity base being applied 👍

@darkeyedfran Год назад

Could you please do a video of how to tuck the polish? I just want more tips/ tricks/ what not to dos with tucking in that polish!

@EricasNails Год назад

use a detail brush!

@user-bk9ew8dh2x 6 месяцев назад

⁠@@EricasNails Hello, when you use the detail brush for applying closer to the cuticle, do you bake the first layer of the nail polish first or you work while the nail polish is still wet? Or you bake first layer, then applying closer to the cuticle, then bake and then second layer? Many thanks 😊

@EricasNails 6 месяцев назад

Can you do a fill with a structured gel? If so could you please share a video. Thanks!

@EricasNails 11 месяцев назад

You definitely can! Just remove the color and former apex before you build the new set.

After applying the structure gel to all the nails and curing the hand, do you buff or file anything before polishing?

@EricasNails 4 месяца назад

if your application is smooth, it is no necessary to buff and disturb all the cuticle work to keep skin smooth. 🤩

@bibixnailz Год назад

Hi there! Quick question once you cure the structure gel you go straight to color? No need for buffing or wiping with alcohol? I’m a beginner nail tech in school and this is something I have no idea on

@EricasNails Год назад

You shouldn't buff the structured gel before color application - Before applying any product, including structured gel, you'll need to prep the nail. That will help any product adhere to the nail plate 😊

@bibixnailz Год назад

@@EricasNails thank you so much for the response 🫶🏼

@sarahhcuse Год назад

I'm surprised more skin wasn't clipped with nippers. Would that be considered more high end? Also how do you go about debulking after a couple fills?

@EricasNails Год назад

Hi there! You shouldn't be removing live skin or tissue around the nail plate, so we only want to remove those dead skin cells. This video will be more beneficial for gel fills 👉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BzqV-6XM3Ss.html&t

@yazminperez6298 Год назад

I struggle with not creating an even coat?? Sometimes my finished product of gel will hand tiny lumps.. mainly at free edge. How can I prevent or fix it?

@EricasNails Год назад

That will depend on the product and application! There are several factors at play such as the product viscosity, whether its self leveling, the angle the nail plate, how much was applied, how it was applied. Lumps at the free edge indicates that too much product was pulled down. Try to keep the majority of the product at the apex of the nail.

@emilyc8983 Год назад

Do you smooth out the surface before applying your product? I do and it makes such a difference for me.

@ChasingChecklists 4 месяца назад

Is there a video for filling this when it returns?

@EricasNails 4 месяца назад

Do you mean debulking for a rebalance?

@cynthiajones9621 10 месяцев назад

Is the diamond hand file a fine or coarse grit?

@EricasNails 10 месяцев назад

Fine is great for natural nails, coarse for enhancements 👌

@brenda2220 Год назад

I’m confused still, so how many layers go on each nail? It alternates between thick and thin in between fingers

@EricasNails Год назад

In this video I demonstrate: 1 coat Luminary Commit Primer 2 coats Luminary Clarity Base 2 coats color 1 coat top coat

@zarasnails_ 9 месяцев назад

How many coats ? And do you have to flip the hand ?

@EricasNails 9 месяцев назад

two coats of color and the flipping hand technique is so that the gravity could help us level the product and create that apex.

How much should I charge for a service like this excluding the exfoliation? I’m a beginner

@EricasNails Год назад

It all depends on your customers' demographics, location, and how much they're willing to pay -- I'd start off comparing your prices to other salons in your area.

Is structured gel same as biab ?

@emilyc8983 Год назад

Yes

@EricasNails Год назад

It varies depending on the brand. Some products may achieve the same aesthetic look but the actual structure and composition can be different and vary in how long it will hold up.

Just took a course on biab nails and then i saw this and i got a little confused thank you for the explanation.

@alliyahjones1552 3 месяца назад

How do you do this without burning the hell out your client in the lamp

@emilyc8983 Год назад

I have to disagree about not smoothing out the old product on the nail. It makes it so much easier and neater when you smooth it out, but everyone has different preferences.

@tila_timila Год назад

I agree, I smooth it out also.

@emilyc8983 Год назад

@Timila Edwards I feel like it self-levels better when I smooth it out and if I don't smooth it out, I get an uneven application.

@tila_timila Год назад

Exactly!

@EricasNails Год назад

The nail and/or leftover product should be roughed up rather than smoothed or buffed. Applying new product to a smooth surface will cause lifting.

@emilyc8983 Год назад

@Erica's Dry Manicure + Pedicure I probably should have been more specific. I just meant an uneven surface with bumps or hi/low spots, not a buffed with a buffer surface.
