Gorgeous glitter! Thanks for sharing, I found this to be very helpful! (Also, I appreciate that you didn't speed up the gel application which I find hypnotic! )

[@KarenHeidiRees]

Awwwh thank you so much - I'm so glad you liked it, hopefully I didn'[t hypnotise you too much hehe xx

[@krissynddd8642]

Thank you for this video, love encapsulating glitter but wind up with a thick nail

[@KarenHeidiRees]

Keep your layers as thin as possible Helen and it should be okay :) X

[@myrathompson6508]

[@KarenHeidiRees]

Ooooh that was great timing then! Work in very thin layers huni, you'll get the hang of it through practice :) X

[@kimberleybarrett6485]

[@ryokot12]

Hi! Great video! I’m from the US and was wondering what a slip coat is?

[@beccapleece4087]

Love them xx

[@sheadorris]

The dots are my fave🟣🟣🟣

[@linneaburns9893]

Omg love the orchid glitter can you oh please link the tips you used in your flexi finger, I’ve tried a few off eBay but they don’t sit right in the finger can you please link the ones you have here?

[@KarenHeidiRees]

Hello lovely! Oh gosh I don't have a link for these at all I'm afraid as Natalie had sent me a bag of them, I think she might buy them from Ali Express hun, I tend to use the larger sizes (1/2) as they can slip out a little bit! XX

[@SarahOrman]

Loved this 😊 Thank you! X

[@KarenHeidiRees]

So welcome Sarah! Xx

[@curlydash4993]

Nooooo!! Your wasting all the purple glitter! 😖😖 half of it feel out of the jar 😂😂. Whoops
So beautiful 😍 ❤️❤️😍😍

[@selinstalking]

Where are the flexi fingers from?

[@gaelquilts]

Beautiful ! What would be a U.S. equilivent to the gels u used? Thanks

[@cookiecookie7126]

Nice Video, were did you get the fingers? Could you please post the link. Thank you.

[@soclse2hvn]

Is the color coats you put on hard gels or soak off?

[@kellee_moor]

Great set. Question what is fiber gel??

[@KarenHeidiRees]

Hi Kellee - fibre gel has tiny little fibres in it for extra strength 🥰 great for weakened nails xx

[@kellee_moor]

@@KarenHeidiRees thank you. I will definitely need to try. I wonder if it can help correct my nails from growing outward, like bell bottom nails.

[@shantayhightower8850]

Where can we purchase the flexi hand?

[@Thepurfektdrug]

What is a slip layer? I guess I'm confused between the difference in hard gel and slip layer gel.

[@manimanibooboo]

What are you using for the "slip layer?"

[@Navilian]

She's using the same hard gel, just a thiner layer than the encapsulation. The names of what shes using i thinknis at the begining of the video.

[@indysthing]

can i use gel polish as the color base??? xoxo

[@KarenHeidiRees]

Hi Indira, you can encapsulate with gel polish also yes :)

[@Patty-LoveMe]
