Yes!!! Beveling the free edge. Thank you!!! Been doing my own nails for 6 months now. When I used to ask my nail tech to do that he always looked at me like I was crazy lol Glad someone else gets it!!!
Tara Robinson ~ another thing worth mentioning about filing is that the Empower top coat doesn’t chip or flake. I usually touch mine up every few days with a file and nothing happens with the top coat! It’s amazing, I can’t say how much this product has been a game changer for me 💕
That is a great idea! You're totally right!Thank you so much for the suggestion, I will make sure to add point to any demos/classes or videos. Thank you!
I just ordered your products to do with gel x and I’m so excited to learn structure gel. I had a client come in today and she wanted structure gel, I used the Apres extend gel (which was getting hard because it was exposed to light) I feel like it did fine but not at structured as I would like 😢
I'm looking for the perfect table light that gives me the perfect line of light . The oval light you use to see if the product is smooth. What table light do you use? Thanks so much. I just tried luminary for the first time. Love it.
I love luminary and so do all of my clients. They prefer it over extensions. The only struggle I have is sometimes it melts to fast and I have to start that finger over!
The temperature of your room and of your clients hands can make a huge difference in how quickly the product moves. Try to keep you room a little cooler and if your clients hands are warm have her come out of the light sooner between nails, just make sure to do a full cure at the end. 😃
Hi! So happy you've been loving it! Just switch back and forth and don't worry about the timing because the final cure will be 60 seconds on all fingers, make sense?
Hi Alicia, Multi-Flex Gel is for professional nail techs and if you are licensed we highly recommend you take one of our classes. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! luminarynailsystems.com/collections/certification-classes
what does the beveling do? does it help prevent the natural nail from peeling away from the gel at the free edge? i’m having that issue and maybe i need to bevel?
Yes, you absolutely do not want to try to do all 5 nails then put them in the light. You'll cure between each layer (30 seconds for thin, 60 seconds for building layer, 120 sec. gradual cure if experiencing heat spikes). As soon as the builder layer is there, you'll cure it.
The gel? If so yes, that is why we have our curing light The Pulse, it eliminates 90% of the heat spike. Linked below 🩷 luminarynailsystems.com/products/the-luminary-pulse
I wish just once in my life I could get a manicure like this.
Where are you I serve you exactly like that

I will like to start doing my own nails but I still need to understand where to start from. Any recommendations?
Hi Catalina, are you a licensed nail tech?
GAME CHANGER!! This technique works perfectly and the product lasts until removed. I absolutely love this❤️
Wow! This is literally a perfect manicure! Looks incredible
Thank you!! 💗
@@LuminaryNailSystems I just started using your nail system and this video got me so excited for my next mani 🥰
@@spejic99 Yay!!!
These are beautiful! I’m glad you’re protecting your joints especially with filing, the repetitive movements can really exacerbate arthritis
Thank you Marjorie! I'm doing my best to keep my hands and joints healthy. It's definitely an uphill battle
Luminary has been a total game changer for me!! I love it!!
Yes!!!! Love to hear this! For me too 😗
Yay! So happy to hear it Tracy!
If you use it as a base then wants to put other brand color gel polish on top would you use the gel base or just go straight with color??
I need this in my life! Beautiful
Isnt is just gorgeous! One of my favorites
YESSS!!
Love it Tara! 🥰
Thank you Adriane!
How long does it usually take you for an overlay plus gel color? These are beautiful by the way

The table light is the same (for me) it uses a round bulb! www.ikea.com/us/en/p/tertial-work-lamp-with-led-bulb-dark-gray-00424985/

@@tararobinson9731 thank you I'll give that a go!
Hi Tara can’t wait to see you again at nail camp when on ground 2025😘😘😘😘😘
💗
Loveit!
Thank you!
You guys should do a French manicure
Im late on this, but been loving Luminary, when you say you do 1 finger at a time and cure it, is it 30scs?
Hi! So happy you've been loving it! Just switch back and forth and don't worry about the timing because the final cure will be 60 seconds on all fingers, make sense?
Awesome!!! Thanks
Is there anything that can help with the flash burning ??? I find it hard doing a dollop if it’s burning so much
Waoo it's a nice work
Thank you so very much!
Beautyfulllllllllllll!
What are some lamps to cure the gel do you recommend...? as far as watts go.
Please do a baby boomer tutorial 💕
It's been a popular request ;), we'll have to do it!
💗💗💗
😗😗
😍😍😍😍😍
Can you do extensions with this product?
Súper lindo lo hago
Gracias! ❤
Is the product in the pot different than the product in the bottle?
The product is the same! 💗
Sometimes after a week or two my natural nail separates from the builder gel on the free edge of my nail what am I doing wrong?

what does the beveling do? does it help prevent the natural nail from peeling away from the gel at the free edge? i’m having that issue and maybe i need to bevel?
Hi Hannah! Yes, if you are experiencing free edge lifting with your clients you want to bevel ;-)
Where is your nail file from?
Here is a link www.mynailstuff.com/collections/ericas-accessories/products/diamond-hand-file
Hi, how do you remove Luminary? Is it possible with removing gel? Thanks)
Hi! Luminary can be soaked off with acetone or filed off with an e-file. We have a removal video on our channel :)
At this point, have you cured any of the nails? When I move the hand around too much, the gel product moves..
Yes, you absolutely do not want to try to do all 5 nails then put them in the light. You'll cure between each layer (30 seconds for thin, 60 seconds for building layer, 120 sec. gradual cure if experiencing heat spikes). As soon as the builder layer is there, you'll cure it.
Is normal when you put your nail in the UV lamp a hot sensation with this product?
Hello! Some people do experience heatspikes. To prevent this, we recommend flash curing. More info is on our website Help Center :)
Hello, the free edge needs to be cap as well correct?(:
Hello Brenda! No, you do not have to cap it. You can see in this video we file the free edge and bevel after application. Happy Holidays!
Do you cure the primer or go over it with the gel?
You can cure the primer if you want it to be a bit more tacky but you do not have to. Hope that helps!
Do you file before or after the top coat?
After 💖
Dónde se compra este kit
¡Hola! Te lo enlace
Can you purchase these products in the UK?
Hi Caroline! We ship worldwide ;)
How long does this take to soak off?
Hi Jenai, It depends on how much gel you have left after e-filing to soak. Usually about 10 minutes 💞
can gel polish be applied on top of this system?
Yes! There is more info about recommended gel polishes on our website's Help Center.
Will the 5g pots ever be sold standalone?
Hello! They will not, only full in Starter Kits, or empty in Color Bundles, Diamond Pro Kits, and as a single product to be refilled with 30mls.
What color is on this artist’s nails?
I'm not quite sure what is on Tara's nails, looks like Harmony. She is applying Hope.
Can luminary be used to do medium length extensions with forms? Or is it only designed for overlays?
Hi Chantal, You can do a medium length extension with Luminary and we're hoping to have a video up showing that soon! Happy 2023 🎆
Is it hot?
The gel? If so yes, that is why we have our curing light The Pulse, it eliminates 90% of the heat spike. Linked below 🩷 luminarynailsystems.com/products/the-luminary-pulse
Would have been so much better without the annoying background music.
