How I Learned to Paint - Nail Art Beginner 

I thought I was terrible at line art until I bought ONE diami brush and turns out I wasn't the problem xD I still have a long way to go but products make a huge difference and I'm so happy that you talked about it because a lot of other artists will say "don't spend money on x y z, just get gud" which can make it feel like it's my fault if I can't recreate certain designs easily.

Your presentation is phenomenal. 10 years in the nail industry, and this is one of the best and most informative videos I've ever come across! 🤩

A video on when to or not to use alcohol and/or acetone would be an awesome video. This one was very informative. Thank you

I dont even do gel nail art and Im obsessed with the structure and presentation of this video! Love. ❤

saw the ly album and clicked so fast

When you’re using painting gels you’ll have a better time with a shorter brush. Since they’re so thick using it with a thin long brush is gonna be wildly annoying 😅 you wont have enough control using thicker paints

Love when you post new videos. Always a worthwhile watch, I learn a lot. Your encouragement is a blessing to many, Thank you!

I would love a video of how to set up an online store. It’s so intimidating and you have helped me work through a lot so far in my goals.

I'm sorry if you already said this in this video or another video and i missed it, but how do you clean your brushes between different colors and different gels/ products? Like if you really work the product into the bristles, how do you get it out of the bristles before changing to a different product? Do you have a little container of acetone next to you while you work and you swish it around in there? Or do you use some other product to wipe it off between colors? I hope that question makes sense.

I'm a painter, and I also find that Holbien Acryla Gouache and Posca Markers are great for drawing nail art in between layers of gel as long as you let it dry.

Happy to see a video from you!

Wow thank you so much for this video!

such helpful tips! will definitely try to apply these tips to my future nail sets :DD

the best tips as always 💖

I started my small nail business mid april and i'm stillllllll learning a lot!!!!

Wow it’s very helpfull, thanks a lot! ❤

Excellent video! Thanks for the tips... ❤

Very good informative video. Thanks!

always so blown away by how well you explain everything, you are so generous with your knowledge, and it gives me so much more confidence!!

this is so so helpful thank you sm

My own tip for bubbles in gels is... lighter!! Its just like resin, so high heat removes them. Im just gently getting closer with the flame until the bubbles pop out. :DD

I honestly am not a nail tech, don´t do gel nails at home or even get them done at a salon but your videos are just so interesting and relaxing to watch :D I do very much enjoy painting (with acrylics usually) and it is fascinating how other painting mediums behave, there is also a lot of transferrable knowledge in it :) Keep going strong 🫶

thanks for this awesome video

awesome video ❤️❤️

Hey i love ur content! I hope in the future you can give us a video about what gels u have!

Hi! I hope you can make a video about the different types of nail gels (cat eye, regular, glitter, non wipe top coat, wipe top coat, etc.) and nail tips (gel, acrylic, etc.) and their differences from one another from their uses to tips or dos and don’ts in using them. 🫶

Great educational video 😊thanks for sharing 💕

I just love watching your videos , You're one of my favorites that I follow.You're always so insightful Organized detailed and planned I love it . Thanks for the video!

Thank you!!

I love your videos, I'm a huge fan of your work. You inspired me, like, you have all this business and it is so organize. It's amazing. Also I find your videos relaxing... I don't know if it's something that should be like that xddd

Well damn, I'm the first one here. Let's gooo! I always look forward to Mini Ami videos! So much good information and delivered in such an understandable way!

I can’t believe I’m watching this for free. This is a masterclass! I’m a pretty new subscriber but I’ve been watching your videos via my other channel for a while and I just want to say I love all your videos and you helped me a lot! Thanks so much.

Hello there 😊, I was wondering what type of blinds you have. I really like how it’s sorta a double blind curtain. Also, I love watching your videos. I’ve learned new tricks! ✨

Your content is so helpful and detailed! Thank you so much for sharing, you've helped me get started. QQ - do you have a process to note down your designs/equipment used? I'm wondering what's the best way to do this

came for the ly album cover art, stayed for the vid. Great video!

I get what your saying and its all true. But it’s the experience of doing it while you learned the lessons you learned that quantified it for you. In other words its going to be different for each artist how they learn those things like gel polish consistency being better for hand painting than gel paint despite the fact that it’s called gel paint or gels are basically semi permanent and permanent but amongst both categories you can have both soft and hard depending on which country your products are from will matter in what you call it and even the fact that laying a line down is just as much about your clean up skill as it is about your scribe skill and lastly how you have to actually put pressure n next to the area you want the gel to go and not directly on top of it because your essentially guiding the gel into place not painting it etc… Those little nuggets are things we get when we put the time in and practice in of our industries art. I just feel like i make a ton of videos trying to explain tips to others who are starting out to hopefully make their transition easier and i feel like it goes over their heads at that time because they are not actively in a situation that pertains to that information. Do you ever feel like that? 😆 I mean i still love to teach and i think it’s still important but sometimes i feel like im too analytical lol. 😂 anyway i love your content it’s great. Keep up the good work

Hello! Grear video. Thank you so much for all of your tips. If you (or anyone reading this) could tell me where you get that automatic wipe dispenser I'd appreciate it very much 😊

im looking to star press on nail art studio as well, but i was wondering if you took any online course to learn the basics, if yes, can you recommend some online course please ~ thanks luv !!

The biggest thing that has stumped me was the apres nail tips. I’m a beginner nail tech and I’m starting to make press on nails. I want to have standard sizes but I noticed on the apres website every shape and length has different mm which is super confusing. An almond short size 4 is different than an almond long size 4 in mm. Are you suppose to have standard for each length or shape I’m so confused 🙏😫 I hope this makes sense ! Thank you, your videos have been so helpful

Hey! I have a Shopify related question. I love your videos and content! Basically how did you set up the selection drop downs on your product pages without making a bunch of new variants? If I only wanted to sell 15 of a specific nail design, I wouldn't want to have, let's say, 18 variants for the nail sizes and shapes. Because I could easily oversell or run out of stock for a popular size/shape. I'd have to check my inventory so often and it doesn't seem practical. Did you set your store up with a special application so you wouldn't have this issue? Or is there another solution you found? I'd love your advice. Great video, too!

How do you mix your gels without injecting air bubbles?

How do I remove the press on nails without damaging them and also without damaging my original nails?

What do you use to store the micro q-tips in on your lint free pad dispenser?

Hi, I am trying to start a press-on business online, and I came across your videos which had been so helpful. I was wondering if you had to register a business license for this online business. If you did, could you explain what kind of documents you needed and the process of it? Thank you so much for these videos.

Where did you get the heart palette ring?

Great video! I like the way you organized the information & its relaxing. What is the pad of translucent paper/plastic you are using?

❤❤❤

hi, can i ask, did you learn doing nails by yourself or did you take a nail course?

Just clicked bc of the lineart in the thumbnail

How I can wear press on Nails if i have curve Nails? They don't fit me.😢

Heyyy !

did you do something like idk exercises to get the techniques like lines so good? I'm absolute newbie and doing my first overly ambitious set rn. I'm a professional digital artist so it helps to some extent but I've learned that drawing with gels are.... almost closer to pottery? You don't draw as much as you mold the paint to the correct form. It's been a very challenging adjustment but very fun in it's own way too! =D

thanks so much for the vid! literally had no idea abt gel’s different viscosities i do have a question (open to anyone) tho: i'm going to start working with gel polish for custom press ons and am wondering if i should purchase cheaper polishes (looking at modelones or jodsone) to use for practice & get better at my craft. then, i'll purchase higher quality polishes for when i start selling. OR, should i get the more quality & expensive ones from the jump and risk wasting better product because of my low skill level? im aware the better the product, the easier of a time i may have (and possibly the better the set will turn out), but i'm kind of thinking of this in the way of art supplies where you learn the basics with cheaper supplies and then apply what you've learned after investing in better products, yk? once i open shop, i'm looking to buy kokoist pots until im able to go a bit higher in price. let me know all your thoughts! anyone is welcomed to put in input - thanks so much :)

tried to get nail brushes, the code is not working and it keeps on showing the price in euros :(

I have been watching your videos ever since coming across your channel a few hours ago.. I have an urge to ask you one question.. The most important question for me.. How do i get lint/fur/dust out of your gel bottles? I keep painting and its endless, i don't think there's a way to get them out of the bottle anymore so i can only wipe the nail brush on the lint free wipe and pray that no more comes out. I don't want to repurchase so many colors too, i built my collection for a long time :( Sometimes i thought i had the smoothest top coat ever but i see those little bumps. I'll have to file it off and paint the top coat again (but most of the times i just leave it because the press ons is for myself TT) But if i want to start a business, i really don't want the customers to experience this. Also, i saw in another video that you had a green tub of jelly where you just dip the completed press ons in, before you stick them on the card. Can i know whats that? Seems to be useful especially for a house with a dog!

I was so ready for your recommendations that I bought the brushes and forgot to use the discount code 😂😢

Where do you get your nail cards printed? And how much were they?

My broke ass that can only afford shein gels and has to ration base gel 🤡 jk still loved the video regardlessly. I hope someday I'll be able to afford trying different things instead of being forced to get the cheapest thing available

Great video throughly enjoyed it. This was very helpful and useful. 😊😮👍🏼 love your nail art 💅 loved seeing your before and after, plus the techniques you showed were helpful and you improved and i was impressed. Thanks for the video great motivation for me to one be able to do my own nails with confidence. 💛🧡🤍

I can’t thank you enough for this video! I’ve been wanting to improve my nail art and this video came out at a perfect time. I’ll have to check out those mpf tools! 💕😭🫶🏼

How do you apply press one to last more than 3 days? 🥲

I would love a recap on the label system you have and what you recommend when it comes to shipping press on nails for beginners🥹🥹🥹
