I've fought nail techs at salons for YEARS! Asking to file here and there, changing salons ALL THE TIME because they never got it right.... So thankful for DIY videos!! Doing my own; learning to get it perfect just for me.

@anh7807 2 года назад

Ive been to multiple salons over the last few months. They are never perfectionists like I am and I always find mistakes. I know all the theory but still have to work on the technique.

@LadyKC67 2 года назад

Oh my gosh. Me too! I have had the WORST luck with nail technicians, I even had one use that illegal MMR acrylic on my nails. I was furious when I found out. But one gal I was friends with and had gone to her for years, 90% of the time I hated my nails but didn’t want to hurt her feelings. 25 years in the business and she still made a TON of mistakes. Lockdown forced me to do my own nails and I’ve never been happier. Even with my beginner mistakes. Lol. I get what I want. And I have fun doing them. My only drawback is that it takes me longer to do my nails than a professional would.

@LadyKC67 2 года назад

@@anh7807 I hear ya. I’ve had a lot of problems with nail techs too. I’m so much happier doing my own gel nails now. I’m a perfectionist too with my nails and now I get exactly what I want.

@alimbye795 3 года назад

Hi, may I ask a question, I normally got the nail bars but with the virus etc, I’m thinking of trying myself, would you recommend polygels or fibreglass or acrylics, stick on false, gel nails with extensions, shellac, does it help. Nails grow, eg , what is easier and not as expensive, many thanks and hope you don’t mind me asking,

@maryduff8831 3 года назад

@@alimbye795 I’m an old school educated tech and was introduced to polygel 2 years ago and I think polygel would be a great starting point for you. My daughter recently got MAKART and she loves it because she always has lifting issues because of her job and having her hands in water. She’s had her first set for 2 weeks now and they are still solid. So you will want to invest in a full kit with the primer, dehydrator, base coat, brush and slip saluting to go with your gel and get a box of dual forms also called popits till you get use to product application before you go free hand. Watch Anastasia’s videos about this type of application to solid info. She’s in the top 3 on RU-vid when it comes to knowledge and skill.

@justme6773 3 года назад

I just did my first set ever and ended up with bubble nails too. I used acrylic and had a hard time getting the perfect bead. Luckily I have the Makartt e-file and was able to fix them. Now I am going to try the poly gel and hope for a better outcome. 🙂 Can't wait to receive it and my practice hand because this is great fun!

@tsuraangel1980 4 года назад

My biggest issue, as a self-taught artist was my side walls getting flooded with the builder gel and I still sometimes have issues with it. The skin around my fingers is very puffy from being a nail bitter in the past, so it's always a bit of a struggle. Then I for sure would make the mistake of the tips being WAAAY too thick. Not as thick as those bubble nails lol but, for sure thicker than a credit card, I hated and still hate the flex of my natural nails and figured that if I thickened up the product from the apex all the way down that it would still look good lol..yeaaah not so much. I have learned how to have the product thick enough to keep my nails from flexing so much that it's uncomfortable, but also still keep my nails looking slim. It's a fine line to walk and has for sure taken LOTS of practice, trial and errors lol.

@Nailcou 4 года назад

For your own nails, you can use paper clip to keep the sidewalls back for a while :) I've shown this trick in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DVEo0abrHPU.html

I'm a DIYer and I've 100% made all the mistakes but it seems I'm still making one of them. I didn't realise you don't need as much of an apex on nails that have natural curves and because my nails do have their own apex and high c-curve I've been making my apex far too big. Thank you heaps for this!! I was going to do a nail tech course this year but COVID happened and obviously, there are no classes being held. So I continue to learn on myself via RU-vid.
