I made THE BIGGEST MISTAKE removing fake nails 🤦🏻‍♀️😭 don’t do this 🚫 

Where did you he the heated mints?

Never knew this ! Thank you 🧡

How are so many people not aware of this-have you never been in the bathtub, lake or sea for too long?! Even water will make your natural nails flimsy and it takes a while for them to dry…

Hello!! Can you please give some tips on aftercare? 🥺

I’m not a nail tech but I’ve noticed this after taking off gel! One day I have paper nails next day they feel much stronger. So cool how the body can just bounce back like that

@@sxghing6402there are plenty of videos online about how to care for your nails after removing gel/press ons.

Literallyyyy😭

omg hi ur nails are so pretty! Where did u get them?

@@jesslizs😊❤😊a

@@jesslizswhat fake nails were those?

BHAHAHHAA

I make press ons at home and soak them off with oil, dish soap & warm water & they are 100% reusable.

Most press on glue breaks down with water exposure so oil and water can soak press on’s off but since she had a thin layer of builder gel it made her press ons a little more permanent.

That’s not true (I’m also a nail tech). They can still come off with warm/hot water, soap, and cuticle oil. Her issue was the layer of builder gel the press on was attached to. Of course with that it needs to either be drilled or acetone soaked off.

How long do they last with nail glue? and with sticky tabs?

which type of fake nails can easily be taken off within a few hourss? I only want to wear them for a few hours to an even but dont want too much hassle taking them off? Thanks :D@@xiii000

How does this work?

Isnt that like 25 dollas a bottle? 😭😭😭

@@Noa-g1ex yes but a little goes a long way if you only do your nails like once every 2-3 weeks!

@@tahaniahmed8801 you use the remover and put it on like cuticle oil and it just pops off!!

@@BeryMlk what the hell is the point of using glue on press ons if you’re going to be able to pop them off that easy?! Just get the press on tabs!

Yea I used to think it was the gel itself but it was soaking in the acetone which was actually the most damaging! I started using peel off type base coat and my nails are much better! I only use a little acetone when necessary

Acetone makes my fingers and cuticles so dry, it's not worth it! I use nail drill now and I don't need hand cream or oils anymore :)

Exactly. Soaking your nails in acetone will fucking ruin them. Either file down completely, or leave the thinnest layer and use the acetone like actual nail polish remover. No soaking nails in acetone.

E files dmg your nail more than acetone fyi

Thank you for this tip. Will definitely try it!

Thank you beautiful me just using nail glue only gets me 1 day wear.

@@JayniceOO7 I did try and it worked so well! I have had my set of press on nails that I applied using your technique for 2 weeks now. Game changer! Thanks again!

that’s so smart!!

Thanks!

Thanks!!! I applied on the whole naiI and it lifted up so easily, made me think the unt peel off base doesn't work with gel polish. Then I don't need to buy a peel off gel base!!

Oh, so that’s how. I cover my whole mail and my nail polish comes off in a few hours hahaha

I was gonna say I put gel on my natural nails and all I put under it is base and this is exactly what happens so maybe I should try doing that

👀

Builder gel is meant to be its own enhancement, usually to help with thin nails. You cannot soak it off and it has to be filed off so it is like a double edge sword. For it to work you have to commit to it. If you use it as a base for press ons you're in trouble cause that's not what it is meant for. It's supposed to protect your nails from more damage but with builder gel you use gel polish on top, never another enhancement like fake nails. So using anything other than gel polish on top of builder gel will damage your nails.

what is the right equipment? i thought to remove tips you file them down and then soak the glue off.

​@@jasmine3847I used a cheap electric file & now bought one from melodysusie. The difference is night & day.

You are not alone…. I did the same thing 😅

Then you should use builder gel underneath the press-ons, like she did. Why do people have problems comprehending the gist of a 30 sec clip?

This procedure is for shellac nail polish 💅. Not for fake plastic nails ! Common !

You are exactly right. I do this all the time and it never fails. My nails are perfectly fine too.

I've had this issue before, you can try a rubber base coat, it might help. I even use a rubber base coat as the "glue" to attach full coverage tips.

@rockinsockmonkey8033 I had no idea it was this bad, until I noticed that the product kept coming off, I kinda thought it was the usual lifting...until I noticed my nails are super thin and damaged, at some nails it's almost like something sharp could go right through the nail. The rubber base kept on your nails even in this condition? I'm kinda scared to put something on again because if it also comes off I'm afraid it wil peel off the last layers of the nail (I noticed that every time I remove the gel with acetone thing layers of the nail come off also). Were your nails this damaged too?

@@nijmegenares I'm not sure if mine were that thin, although they've definitely been super thin. Maybe there's videos of ppl using it on damaged nails, I haven't looked! Good luck ❤️ I hope something works for you

@rockinsockmonkey8033 thanks for your reply, I only just saw it. Ive put gel on again and its on my nails for weeks now, so my problem seems to be solved 🙂. Thanks for thinking along ❤️

Ur soo sweet thank you ❤️

Hope it helped😊

But did you also have builder gel underneath your press-ons..no? Well, then it’s a totally different story.🙄

This is good to know!

Thank you 🥹
