Just started doing my own nails again after a few years off, I am a 78-year-old young lady and your video is amazing, it has helped me so much, Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video! Had a terrible experience with gel nails before but received this exact kit for my birthday and I can't believe how easy it was! Thanks for your clear instructions and your expert knowledge, so refreshing to watch a technician who thoroughly understands what they're doing and how to explain it. Will watch your removal video next! - Lizzie
Great video! I’ve recently brought this kit but my nails weren’t lasting longer than a few days. You’ve taught me some really easy things I was doing wrong.
you are the cutest person ever I searched all over youtube and this was the only helpful video because I know nothing about gel and want to order the tools....to start doing my own nails a new subscriber😘
The first time I had my nails done I was 60, I'm still 60 and have made a few mistakes, so I took the initiative, and looked around on You Tube for some help, I've seen some of the rubbish, well I won't go there, anyway, I have seen your videos, and I think they are great, you go through the training step by step and its so easy to follow what you do, I only checked out 3 other videos before yours, I'm sure there are a lot of good ones, but your training is best for me.. Thanks
just followed this with the mylee starter kit i got for xmas and im in loveee! so much cheaper than going to the nail bar but looks just as good. my nails are damaged from acrylics and i think the gel will definitely help protect them as i grow out the damage. thank you soo much!
Someone recommended the Mylee kit to me a while ago but I, decided to be cheap and buy an unbranded version for about half the price from amazon. The cheap one was absolutely terrible so I immediately returned it and ordered to Mylee one! 😂 Can't wait for it to arrive, thanks for the tutorial!
I have decided to start my own little business and still new to all this...have used polygel before know it's different..now will practise gel polish and then will start doing clients
Just bought this kit for lockdown 3.0, very excited to try it! I’ve loved having my nails done but obviously won’t be getting them done by my tech for a while and I fancied a bash at it myself! I’ll be looking to you for tips!
Thank you so much for this video, it was so easy to follow. One of my sons bought the Mylee kit for me for Christmas and after watching your video, I finally had the courage to have a go. I’ve smudged in a few places but I’ll get better with practice 😁 I’m sorry I don’t know how to attach a picture but they turned out better than I was expecting 🤪
Thank you so much for this video. It’s packed full of such great tips and advice. I’ve ordered my Mylee kit and can’t wait to start doing my own gel nails 😊
Super helpful. I ordered my Mylee kit and it arrives this Friday. I will be watching this video again to gain confidence doing my own nail. AAAARGH!! 😂👍🏽🥰
Thankyou for this video Amelia its been really helpful. I've been toying with the idea of getting this kit for a while and finally bitten the bullet. All your videos I've watched have been informative and clear and you are so lovely and easy to watch xxx
Melia, thank you so much for this tutorial so well explained in detail. I am a good nail polish at home girl. I was always afraid of gel polish because of the UV lamp. But I finally decided to by a couple of gel nail polishes and also bought a terribly cheap UV/ LED lamp.😔 The first mani took place last night and it was a disaster. Some nails came out all creased (wrinkled), and others started to lift up from the nail’s borders. I went to bed a bit heart broken because these products are expensive and I hoped for a fine mani that lasts a bit longer than regular nail polish manis. Listening to you has been an eye opening experience because I made all the mistakes u are giving advise to avoid. I’ve gathered courage with your tutorial and am going out to get me a better UV / LED lamp to cure my nails after the fact and help my gel mani become better. I will let u know how it goes and hopefully it will be awesome. I love your tutorial!🥰 I will look for other videos I posted on regards to lamps that u have tried and recommend. Thanks Melia!😊🤗
I've just purchased the mylee gel nail starter kit ,I am very happy with it and your video is very informative thank you . I flooded the sides with top coat the first few times I used it and it peeled off lol
Eeeek! Yes that will happen - really do try to leave a gap as you practice because it can cause burns and contact allergies too so we want to avoid that 🤗
Have you done a video on how to prep your nails this is what I'm thinking i need to watch. The actual painting video was fab & figure I got that in my head just need to practice but it's the prep im probably not so clued up on 😊
Wanting to learn how to do gel nails at home as I loved when I could get them before I couldn't with the job I'm in but I just miss the strength they gave my natural nails and how cute they looked! Definitely gonna give it a go
Great video, I've just received my Mylee kit and looking forward to trying it out, I don't know if you realise but the removable plate has a protective film on which has to be removed before use, both sides are shiny, I noticed in this video you have kept it on.
It’s all in your application and prep. Mine last up to 5 weeks 💕 if things are lifting it’s most likely your prep or application rather than the polish lovely xax
Thank you for the video it really helped me, only the 2nd attempt and my nails are as short as yours are in that video, they turned out ok...not the best but practice makes perfect 😀
Thank you so much for this brilliant video! I did my girlfriends nails for the second time after watching it and nailed it! Particularly the shaping by the cuticle and sealing on the very ends. I’m not sure what I did wrong but the finish wasn’t as shiny as my first go. Any ideas what may have caused that? Thanks again, Ben
Thanks for this video its really helpful! Ive put cuticle oil on them before doing my nails no wonder they started peeling quickly what a wolly head 🙈🙈 i never knew what capped the nails ment i thought it ment just trim them. Thanks for educating me a bit haha x
Can you please put the other videos you mentioned on the description box or create a playlist for nails? I tried looking for the videos but couldn’t find them.
Hi Amelia, your nails look amazing! I have some questions about this kit. Do you need to use the nail buffer as a first step? Were your nails ruined when you removed the gel? How many wattage is the lamp? Thank you very much x
Prepping the nail properly is key for a long lasting manicure but just be careful not to scratch or damage the natural nail - light touch. And no, when applied and removed properly gel doesn’t damage your nails at all 💕xax
There’s lots of videos about how to use builder gel out there lovely - not sure I could offer anything more than those really unless you meant mylee specific? Although I think I’ve seen a couple someone’s done already that were fab! 😊xax
Hi there, very informative video! So, I’m a true beginner, and wondering if you are painting one nail, and then curing it? Or painting all five nails and then curing them, and then doing a second coat and then curing them all again? Thanks!
Hi! This was so helpful as I’m looking at buying the Mylee products. I have polymorphous (an allergy to UV) so was so happy when I found their LED lamp 😊 would you suggest buying their nail polishes or can you use others with the LED lamp?
Just came across this video after buying the mylee kit! It was sooo helpful as a complete beginner I didn’t know where to start! I have one question, is there a limit on how long you should cure under the lamp for? Just because after 30 secs mine still felt a little bit tacky ! Thankyou!
I am new to this, my kit hasn't even arrived yet. Your video is very clear, but how would I wipe off the end of my finger or edge if the other hand was already painted? Thanks!
Hey! I’ve just come across your video after watching a gazillion others….the usa vids just confused me further so I was delighted to find a U.K. vid 😂 Basically I’m new to gel nails. And today I purchase a full mylee starter kit! Your video was really easy for me to follow. I’m just need a little advice on how to do chrome nails, I’ve searched your account as far back as I could go and didn’t come across any to do with chrome powder nails… can you help pls? (When I watched usa vids I notice they say to wipe your nails with something before buffing the chrome on but I can’t gif the life of me understand what to use within the mylee kit to wipe with! Another thing I’m confused about is ‘builder gel’ at which point do I put this on and when do I apply chrome?? X
It’s been a while since I did chrome but I think you need to do your nails and apply the top coat. Cure and wipe away the sticky layer (with your prep wipe solution) then rub in the chrome and do another full top coat. Builder gel is totally different and requires higher skill and a different technique to properly apply 🩷
Fantastic, thorough video! How long do you get out of the gel? I’m planning on ordering the £90 starter kit when I get paid on Friday! Usually I go to a nail tech every month for calgel overlays which is thicker, but thanks to Miss Covid I’m not able to just now ☹️! As someone who barely has any cuticles, am I best to still try and push them down every time I re-do my nails? I was thinking of the cuticle remover also. 😊
I get up to 4 weeks out of mine but everyone is different and it depends on application. Just need to make sure you're not painting over cuticles lovely so push them back if needed xax
Amazing video! 😊 Can you use any LED gel polish with the mylee base coat and top coat? I'm new to get polish and wasn't sure if I would be able to use halo gel polishes with this kit
I love doing my own gel nails - but no matter how much I try I never get them looking good and I end up peeling them off a few days later (I know!) I push my cuticles back but I always seem to cover them with polish. I dont know what I'm doing wrong.
Getting neat cuticle lines is key to a good looking and long lasting manicure. Check out my cuticle video that I mentioned in this one for guidance 💕xax
The correct amount of time for your particular brand of polish to cure - it should say on the bottle/box/website of the brand how long it needs. Also make sure to check that it is compatible with your lamp (LED/UV) etc 🤗xax
Great video. I bought the builder gel as the shellac was lifting after a day or two. What is the process for using this? Does it replace the base and top coat? x
Hi love, did you mean you bought the mylee builder gel to use with shellac polish? Or are you using Mylee gel polish? Because shellac is slightly different to gel polish and it's always wise to stay with the same brand instead of mixing products x
Morning Xameliax!!! First I would like to say that I love your channel!!! I am new at shellac. I got 1 time and loved cause my nails doesn’t used to last more than 2 days with normal nail polish. So, my husband gave me a surprise: the new mylle shellac kit! I love it and I used once! It came with the spring nail polishes color box. Although I loved the colors, sometimes I know I will miss my tradicional nail polish that I have at home. Do you think it’s possible to use traditional nail polish at shellac? Still using the shellac base and top coat?
Hey Natalia, so glad you’re part of team xax! 😊💕🥰 have you got mylee gel polished or CND shellac? Shellac is a brand name of a hybrid gel polish by CND - you need to be trained to use it and it’s not a brand I use so I’m not sure if that’s what you have. But if you have mylee polish, yes you can use a base coat, put regular polish in the middle and finish with a gel top coat - but the products always work best when they’re used with their direct counterparts - so gel polish with gel polish 😊xax
xameliax - UK Vlogger & Content Creator i do have the myllee gel polished! I am very used to do my own nails at home but not shellac. My first experience, i can say wasn’t that bad and my nails are beautiful!!! I hope to be an expert in the future! Continue training! Thank you soo much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey! Thank you for this video. I have just purchased this kit. I have been scared away by the recent article on the news about at home gel kits causing reactions and nail damage. Do you stand by this brand and has it ever caused you any reaction?
