I love that you are sharing this. There aren't a lot of videos with folks with simple instructions. I would love to see a tips and tricks video where you walk us through how to use the different nail art brushes for designs. 💕
I’m going to try these because my gel manicures only last about 4-5 days and the they start chipping and peeling which isn’t normal even after doing lots of prep they still tend to peel
I’ve tried everythinggg to stop my gel nails from peeling and chipping. But they still peel and chip after 4-5 days. I think it may be the cheap lamp I have. So if youve tried everything (like me ) and nails still chipping. It may be the lamp ???
I just found your videos and wow! I really enjoy your content. I'm just beginning my gel nail polish journey and your videos are perfect - short and very informative. Thank you for sharing.
Best basecoat is Essie Here to Stay, its a really grippy thin nail basecoat, even use it under gel basecoat, then add gel, then use Essie No Chips topcoat, then cure! Lasts AGES, few chips, but it works for me! Also use CND SOLAR oil on cuticles! UK 🇬🇧 13.4.24
I use plastic press on faux nails (POFN) and one major mistake i made the 1st time was not buffing/filing the POFN. This is apparently a crucial step to let the gel polish adhere better to the POFN. The layers of gel polish just chipped & even tore off in less than 3 days. All that hard work... Gone. But lesson learned indeed.
I've tried loads of gel basecoats, a lot of them are just hype! The best gel basecoat I've used is Arte Clavo, a good grippy gel basecoat needs UV light! Silcare Flexy and Color it! topcoats were too hard, kept snapping off! No flexibility for long bendy nails! UK 🇬🇧
Hi! So, i have a quick question. Im a teenager, and im going to start learning how to do nails. Mostly gel manicures and custom press-on's (with gel polish as well) is it bad to leave the paint on for more than 2 to 3 weeks? On the natural nail. I've heard some people say it will damage your natural nail, and im trying to recover for a long few years of severe nail biting. And im doing this mainly to get my nails healthy again. So, i dont want to damage them more in the process. So, i just wanted to ask someone who was experienced with gel polishes! Thank you so much for your tips!
Might be late but it's ok to have gel on 2-3 weeks. I've kept them on for a month and only took them off because my nail grew too much. But since you're still young I wouldn't recommend a month. Your nails are still developing, otherwise you'll ruin them. My sister also nail bites, so having a hard base was helpful and it helps grow your nails out a lot. When you do take your gel off, make sure to do nail care like oiling (you can make it at home if budget problems), file them, cuticle care, etc. I live on a budget so nail care with minimum products is possible. You just need to do it properly and regularly. Let them breathe for a week before you apply gel or press-ons again so they stay healthy, nails need air too. I started in my teenage years too and as an adult now my nails are quite strong and "aesthetic" in a way lolll. It's takes a while but you'll see a difference with proper nail care.
Beginner here, didn't realize washing hands directly before applying polish was actually giving those oils back! I'll wash them before everything else so I have clean hands and dry nails 😅
There’s still an issue with how long to cure your nails because you can’t over cure them and they will bubble so my issue is how long do I cure them and the power of the UV lamp
I bought the Beatles home manicure set and when I put the base gel polish on it looks like oil and water. It won't lay on my nail bed like any other traditional polish would. I need advice.
I honestly did not that I could overdo it with the capping😂 I capped every single layer. And I have to have short nails becaus of work, so there’s ALWAYS excess nail polish on my skin, like at the top of my nail. I tried cleaning it with a q-tip but it’s to big. I’ ll try to remove it with the cuticle stick… thanks for the tip!
The nail industry is a con! I cannot find a good gel 2 in 1 topcoat and basecoat that doesn't cost the earth and grips my manicure on! Silcare Flexy is the best budget 2 in 1 topcoat & basecoat! It's cheap at £4/$7 and grips the manicure. It can soak off a bit quick. MTSSII gel polishes ate cheap and come off easily! UK 🇬🇧 17.1.24
