They look absolutely gorgeous. I am not throwing shade at anybody. But for a professional nail tech to think that the other set looked good is just not right.
My brother and dad are the only ones in our family who have perfect, envy worthy nails. My nails are like construction paper, so they always bend and break. Like I didn't even know that break a nail could hurt until I started doing my own polygel.
I just done it again. I unconsciously blew on my phone to get rid of the dust on the ladies nails you were drilling. 😂😂😂 Great video, Blessings from Scotland. 🙏🏴🌺
Hi, Anastasia! I am not a nail technician, just an ordinary girl that wanted to learn how to take care of her own cuticles. And I want to tell you that I learned so much from your videos. I first just had cuticle scissors and always got hangnails! Later I bought orange sticks, then a super cheap nail drill that couldn't rotate. Then a better nail drill that rotated but with cheap drill bits that had no abrasive marking. Then a separate set of drill bits, and eventually, also a metal pusher. So little by little, I finally gathered everything I need for the perfect cuticle care and my nails are finally looking perfectly done. And these are things I had no way of learning if it weren't for videos like yours. Thank you!
I hear you! My nail drill doesn’t turn🤦🏻♀️ I should have invested but I didn’t know if I could actually do it. Even with the bad drill my nails look better than that first set. I’m shopping for a better drill that won’t break my bank 😆
Ballerina shape is my favourite! It looks so elegant, and the final result on your client is gorgeous! I'm a nail tech who does Russian manicure too and I keep learning so much from you, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Her natural nail bed looked very nice. I’d have done the same thing with that much lifting and damaged free edge. Hope you are well and staying safe. ❤️❤️❤️
Another nail service example that reminds me of the remodel of our (older) house: you have to peel away layers to find out what’s really going on underneath! Thanks for another informative video.
OMG I love your work!!!! It's very neat, clean and beautiful!! Also I love how you explain things. Thank you for your amazing videos! You are awesome 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤
She had gorgeous natural nail bases. But you made those nails impeccable. Simple, elegant with a pop.. great job with polygels. I want to love them (using them) but I was Creative Nail ( acrylics) back in 1989, when well here in NYS you had to hold a cosmetology license with a piggyback of nail technician license in order to do nails. I did not continue with cosmology, but was grandfathered in to do nails. Try as I may I struggle on myself to perfect polygel. You make it seem effortless yet your nails are just gorgeous each and every time. Kudos.
wow those turned out so pretty! I love the colors, they look like candy. I have ski slope nails like your client and as much as I'd like to grow them out, my nails just look better and are more sturdy when I use extensions. I wish I was 'genetically blessed' like you said, but oh well! I'll just be happy with my extensions!
You did an amazing transformation of her nails!! 🤩They look 1000% better than before😍 I also liked how well you promoted your Academy🙌👌🙌 And why do I feel like I graded your work here,lol😅Take care sweetie😘💕
Hello! I'm new to your channel and became a huge fan right away, your videos are so calming and educational. You inspired me to get my first nail extensions at 30 yrs old after never being able to grow out my natural nails, and I'm so in love with my nails now!!! If you (or anyone else who can help me) happen to see this comment, I was wondering if you could talk more about the eponychium. I googled the term and saw a lot of medical diagrams. Most of them labeled the eponychium as the part that you, me, and my nail techs remove, however the medical diagrams said that part is living tissue and should not be removed. The only part labeled as cuticle/dead tissue, was the bits of skin adhered to the nail that grow out and are usually pushed back, and also the free edge of hangnails. I'm really confused and I don't know which parts are okay to push back/remove and which I should leave alone. I'm super thankful to whoever who can help me out here, now I'm worrying that I've been damaging my nails.
I've been thinking about this as well, as clean looking a dry manicure looks, I wonder at the damage over time. The seal of the nail is being broken time and time again and the eponychium will compensate by growing thicker. I've noticed this on quite a few tech videos, the cuticles require more work and are very thick, much more build up of skin and dust from the removal. Yes, the cuticle is the skin that grows over the nail, it has to be removed for a product to adhere properly, otherwise you will get lifting. I use a cuticle remover to get rid of the non-living tissue, Blue Cross works very well for this :) It has to be washed off after use as it is a mild acid. Have a read of Doug Schoon, he's very knowledgable about nail health.
I have hard gel extensions 24.5 mm long. I injured three nails opening a cabinet door- I learn lesson and should use side of finger with nails that long. I removed the extensions very carefully. The nail beds are sensitive. Only one nail actually ripped off the nail bed and it has a red mark near the cuticle. I left it overnight to see if it turned black. It didn’t. I am trying to learn more about if it’s not recommended to put the extensions back on. I have a full set both hands of this length and I’m feeling strange with the missing nails. I am used to the long ones. I’m trying to get an idea of when it’s a bad idea or a good idea to protect the nail. Your videos are so helpful! Most people would just lie to take your money.
Hi Anastasia! I noticed something recently. I can't watch videos with audio most of the time so I need to use subtitles. However, in your videos the nails are often exactly in the part of the screen that is covered by subtitles so I can't see what you're doing! I hope you will be able to adjust the framing a little bit in the future so that I and people who need to rely on closed captions will be able to see what you're doing clearly ❤️
Hello, you can move the subtitles. When you activate them, you can go over them with your curser and just drag them around with the left mousebutton. I just tried it this second and it works. I think that helps you atleast a little bit. :)
I have tried to grow out my own nails but I cannot. I am the opposite of genetically blessed. My nails have always been so thin that they do not break they peel and tear. So gel extensions are the only way I can have long lovely. Maybe someday when I can afford some decent acrylics I can learn to do acrylic extensions too.
Could you tell me the difference between rubbing in the basecoat vs applying a thin layer? I'm using a new brand that tells me to rub it in before applying another product.. I know how to do that, but i am wondering what would happen if I don't rub it in
I have naturally SUPER thin nails and I do extensions all the time because of that... Gel polish is chipping after few days because they bend too much in both way XD
Anastasia I'm thinking... It's possible to apply a layer of polgel in her natural nails, do almond shape and apply hard gel before?? In that way she can keep your nail growth... Sorry I'm from Venezuela, English isn't my birth language
I will do a fill over someone's work but I don't guarantee it won't lift or break since I don't know what products were used, or if any important steps were skipped during prep.
This is what my nails looked like when I decided to stop going to the salon and started doing it myself 😂I’m much better at it now, but it’s way more time consuming to DIY and not practical for me so I’ll be headed back to the salon soon.
They look absolutely gorgeous. I am not throwing shade at anybody. But for a professional nail tech to think that the other set looked good is just not right.
You're right, maybe the previous nail tech was a beginner.
yes! it was a terrible job!
These days “professional” seems to extend to “did a 2 week course online with an amazon basics kit and now have a certificate that says ‘passed’ ”.
Looked pretty diy
I assumed she had done them herself
“Genetically blessed” 😄 Yes! Some people have the most perfect nails. How lucky they are. 💅🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️ Warm wishes from Minnesota!
Yes! Thank you!
My mum and grandma are like this! The b*tches! And their nails are hard as concrete too! How’d I end up with paper thin nails?! 😩
Hi, I'm from Minnesota, too! (Also, my nails are "genetically blessed"!) 😊

Usually for me it’s me trying to wipe hairs away that are in the video and not on my screen.
Also, hi from Scotland too (Edinburgh)🏴
i thought i am the only one that do that. Such habit :)
I find myself doing this during her videos occasionally too 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Also: I already got better bits.
So pretty! The marble nails look like berries and cream hard candies.
Thank you! 😊

Those were absolutely gorgeous! Best polygels I’ve seen done
You are so kind & gentle with your clients & that is why I LOVE watching you!
Beautiful final results.❤❤❤

All that lifting 🤦🏻makes me wonder if that set was a DIY gone wrong😝 thank you for another great informative video!🥰💕💕💕💅💅

I learnt so much from you.. I really hope you're doing well and will keep flourishing. Your positivity is inspiring. Thank you.

I can't believe she left the salon with that previous set, literally all of them are different and all are bubbly and bumpy
You keep me inspired to keep working to improve my diy technique on myself. You are truly wonderful ❤️
I'm so glad!
The colors were so beautiful together
You make it look so easy! What a beautiful set... especially that purple! Hope you and your family are staying safe. ❤️

Great job using polygel

@@Sabrina3805 thanks! Is there a way to do it on your phone as well?
@@d.on.in.a Sadly no. :
love this!
What’s your favorite carbides that you use in removing acrylic and gel polishes?😊
Beautiful set tyfs
Thank you! 🤗
What brand of dual forms are these that you used to do this set?
Hi! I was just wondering, do you need both dehydrator and primer?
yes
What is the bit you are using to remove her gel polish? Where can I purchase? I didn't find it on your links? Please and thank you. 😊
What abrasive mark is the Kiara Sky 5 in 1 carbide bit used here?
I have tried to grow out my own nails but I cannot. I am the opposite of genetically blessed. My nails have always been so thin that they do not break they peel and tear. So gel extensions are the only way I can have long lovely. Maybe someday when I can afford some decent acrylics I can learn to do acrylic extensions too.
Does dual forms exist for people with wide/large nailbeds
Could you tell me the difference between rubbing in the basecoat vs applying a thin layer? I'm using a new brand that tells me to rub it in before applying another product.. I know how to do that, but i am wondering what would happen if I don't rub it in
What cleanser after the base or after buffing??is it alcohol or just water??
Lordy, the set you removed was....interesting! Great job.
I'm so sad that you've started saying 'coming up'. I miss your lovely 'comen up'! Xx
Thanks 😄
So much better.
With the uncured gel underneath could you have popped it under the lamp for 60 sec to then be able to use the drill??
These nails look so much better on her
I have naturally SUPER thin nails and I do extensions all the time because of that... Gel polish is chipping after few days because they bend too much in both way XD

Question: What causes gel to be left uncured between layers?
Too much polish
