Don't go back and forth with the e-file. If you have it on forward, go right to left; and if it's on reverse, go left to right. You can thin your nails out and destroy them! I learned the hard way 😱
Hey there! I love your videos! especially the nail ones! however, I am a professional nail tech and I do want to clear this up really quickly so that you and your subscribers are safe when doing their nails. I noticed that you called the beetle's nail glue gel adhesive hard gel. hard gel is an led/UV curable builder, adhesive, and is used even for polish sometimes. Hard gel can only be filed off with a hand file or an e-file. It is harder than acrylic! So the removal of the hard gel is more dangerous than soft gel. there are soft gel versions of hard gel but unless specified by the manufacturer of the product that it can be soaked off by acetone it will require filling. Soft gel is called soft gel because it is a soakable product. It is normally found as a gel polish. there are some soft gel polygels but polygels are also a form of hard gel. I could go on and on but those are the basics of gel products! So keep doing what you are doing girl! Love the videos always! You have so much talent!
these are really cute! I think you should start using a peel of base coat so you easily take them off without damage so you can do more designs. the one I got off amazon is pretty nice and doesn't pop off too quickly (at least a week) but is super easy to take off when I'm ready
I started doing my nails because of you! Love your videos. Love it when I get complements on my nails and can say “thanks, I did them myself” and people look shocked lol. Love to learn how to do more designs though. Keep doing your thing girl, your awesome!
Very cute and simple. Only thing that would drive me crazy is being able to see the natural nail through the nail extension. But overall I’m in love with this set and will be trying it soon
That bothers me too i got a clear and gold leaf nail from a salon and it grew out i was like eww so honestly i would do a high french tip ,stickers, gems or gold/silver leafs if you have them
if the nail extension is crystal clear- you’re always going to want to use an opaque nude/natural pink gel polish or acrylic (whichever technique you’re using) so they look natural & you wont be able to see your nail underneath. if she would’ve used a more opaque base color, your wouldn’t have been able to see straight through to her natural nails.
I’ve been doing my nails for a few years and am familiar with the methods for extensions that you use but your designs give me inspiration, they’re so cute and simplistic. I got to a point where I was feeling uninspired and having trouble with new designs until I found your videos. The work you put into them is definitely appreciated!!
Hey Kayli! I started watching your channel when I began doing nails and I followed your tutorials since the beginning. I appreciate these videos so much and I’ve been doing my nails for a few months! Really love it more than salon nails and I love your channel and am so grateful I found it!!!
you inspired me to start doing my nails! i used pollygel a couple of times but they didn’t last and it was super messy. thank you you’re such an inspiration
Thank you so so so much for giving us your time and doing videos for us. I know you have gone through some anxiety and stress and I am so happy you are doing better 😊
Your so right about this . I have been getting my nails done for a very long time , was a faithful customer to the same place for years but I had to find a place where they did it cheaper bc the price was just too much after a while. So I went to a place where they did it cheaper and was always unhappy when I left. Like they say you get what you pay for. As of right now I’m letting my own nails grow out and get healthy bc they are so paper thin. Found a nice builder gel and will be doing myself.
Found your channel after spending $170 at the nail salon. I've always used extensions on myself to save money but after the salon I was inspired to do my own gel x. Love this video and will try to do it.
I took the primer and used it to etch my press on nail and Omg thank you! I made a video doing it and tagged you in the title. I hope you’re able to take a look 🥰 thank you so much for this hack
You need a peel off stuff for around for nails and it helps a lot! But I did this marble so many time! There’s so many different ways to do it! You should try using a stamp to apply it! Ohhh stamping is a whole other way of nail art that is so easy and beautiful!!
Yes I love these, all the reasons you sounded off at the begging of your vid is the exact reasons I started doing my own nails 💅. I still go in here and there for a pedi but I always enjoy when the nail techs ask “who did my nails” love these vids it always nice to learn new techniques you did an amazing job!!!!
Hey Kayli! I just started doing my own gel x nails, and because of your amazing videos they have lasted weeks!!! I can’t believe it! Also I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR HAIR!!!! I also love all you tutorials, especially your nail ones! Can I get a hi?!
Hey! I just stared trying to do dip nails and I’m having trouble with the dip (maybe it’s the brand) but more videos on beginner dip nails would be awesome! I love your videos!!!!
i ordered a goose neck lamp bc of you and IF YOU HAVENT DONE IT YET DO ITTT. just the lamp itself has sped up the process bc i’d use the beetles one and just trying to get it under without moving the nail was still hard
Noo i did not need to see comment i JUST managed to convince myself i didnt need a gooseneck lamp and my beetles one is enough but your comment is swaying me again 😭😭😭
@@benedictaagha277 that was me too im like nooo my beetles one if FINEE but let be real the position can be awkward sometimes and i end up making my nail crooked trying to keep it in place and placing it under the light at the same time. they’re honestly super cheap the one i got was like $15 on amazon!
@@ElizabethAlexandra33 honestly youre right it makes me soooo frustrated whenever it comes out crooked and im so lazy i dont soak it off so i have crooked nails 😭😭 nah i think im gonna reward myself after all my exams and buy the lamp
pls do a water marble nail vid! Would love to see an acrylic and polygel one too just so your viewers can maybe have more options of what they can do :)
You are a huge inspiration to me and In August I’m going to be starting cosmetology school!! I’ve already learned so much from your channel,, thank you for being you and keep it up,!! Also you’re soooooo freaking pretty
please don't cut your cuticles to the point they bleed! graduate from nail school here, its indeed better and less expensive to do your own nails at home but PLEASE be more careful when cutting your cuticles, its very dangerous for you as you risk getting infections, ruining your nail matrix etc.
I’ve only watched a couple of her vids but I did notice she goes FAR back when pushing the cuticles, and even the extensions. I started wondering if doing gel x nails hurt because it’ll be my first ever session this friday… Can I ask the salon if they can NOT push my cuticles too far back or is it essential to the process?
I plan to start doing my nails like this but one thing I always request when I get my nails done is for them to be made really soft and kind of rounded underneath so there’s no sharpness on the underside of my nail. He always uses some type of buffing cube and I’m just wondering if you have a particular product you would recommend for that? Thanks ❤
I love all the nail designs you do, but im curious how yours look before you take them off. Mine just look very unnatural, i file them before and after glueing them to blend them better😿
This was bomb!!! I’m about to start doing my own nails! I’m over spending sooo much money and time at the nail shop I mean gel polish is 17$ freaking extra dollars 🤯
hey kayli, please could u do a nail video where u do gel polish on your natural nails. I'd like to start doing my own nails but without any falsies. thank you and love your videos. xxx
Hey! In a year or so I rlly wanna learn how to do my own nails but I was wondering: is there another way to file the top of the fake nail and the cuticle area instead of using a drill? Bc if so I’d love that bc I don’t rlly wanna buy a drill :) love ur vids!! Byeee! ❤️
When I do gelx nails I always stress about having a lifting near the cuticle or side walls so I immediately take of all the nails, or about the gel squirting into the cuticles and then that would lead to a lifting… do you shove the nail into the cuticle ?? It seems like you are so I don’t really know what I should do
Your videos are so so amazing! So educational and sooo many good tips!!! I have a question .. can we use the primer on our natural nail instead of buffing them to do these .. like how you use the primer on the tips? My nails are super thin and brittle ...
graduate from nail school here, you have to at least buff your nails to remove the natural oils and shine because if you don't then the product you put on top won't adhere correctly (base coat, gel etc.) ,so just buff them gently to make sure they will last.. I'd suggest that if your nails are really thin give them a break for 1-2 months so they can grow out and be healthier in the long run :)
For me personally if it's a detailed set it can take up to like 6-7 hours for the whole take-off, put-on, design process. But if it's a pretty basic set it'll usually take like 2-3 hours for me
