    I've been using this kit for months now. I love it and over time, I've gotten even better at it - now my nails look better than if I was to get them at the salon! I do recommend getting a full hand led nail lamp to save time and using the small beetles lamp to flash cure/secure the nails and then using the full led lamp to set them all at once.

    You don’t actually need to add a dehydrator to the nail tip itself, if you had a primer that’s what you would add to the nail tip to help the tip adhere to your nail bed. Your nail dehydrator is just cleaning your nails of oil and sanitizing your nail bed, just like if you had just used rubbing alcohol.
    And also the “gel nail glue” is essentially a rubber base coat or a builder gel. Beetles Calling it “nail glue” Is just advertising like apres called theirs Extend gel.
    If you’re having any problems with the tip popping off I would recommend you either etching your nail tip with a nail drill or scrubbing part of the inside of tip with pure acetone, or brushing on a primer on the inside nail tip before you apply it.
    But regardless you did a really good job, I’m about to buy the sticker it very fast, simple and cute nail design,

    Thank you for this! I am just learning about gel nails. I did acrylic nails for many, MANY years, and my natural nails (what’s left of them) are so ruined and gross, I can’t even describe it. I want to try the gel nails because I’m tired of being so self conscious about how hideous my nails look. There are basically a million videos about how to do them yourself at home, and I’m very unsure what to get! This brand appears to be a good one that doesn’t cost the moon. Is this the kit you would recommend for someone like me? Regardless, I very much enjoyed this video!! 👍🏻

    Gorgeous and easy tutorial. Do they have the tendency to pop off here and there the same way press on nails do? Or will they last for two weeks straight then you soak off?

    This info is great! When I do my own gel nails, 99% alcohol on a brush works great to remove the excess polish before curing.

    I left proper directions ⬇️
    If anyone has any questions feel free to ask me!!
    You didnt do any prep work on your natural nails before you started ur application and ur prep makes for how long they last without lifting without proper prep they wont last long!! 😉
    -Buff the natural nails just by scuffing the top layer pushing ur cuticles back (not needed only if you wish)
    -Dust off your nails and use rubbing alcohol on a lint free cloth (rubbing alcohol mixed with half acetone makes for a good primer and dehydrator.
    -Do a base coat layer on all nails and cure. (Wipe off sticky layer)
    -Scuff the inside of your full covered tips with a file. (Or use a little acetone)
    -Then continue the process little means the world of difference with overflowing your cuticles/nails I use just the tiniest dot of base gel to adhere the full coverage nail to my natural nail.
    -Once ur nails are on and adhered to your fingernails you want to buff the shine off the full coverage nail before applying your colored coat or nail design without scuffing the shine off your colored coat gel polish will just chip right off you want it lasting all the way through.
    Good luck practice makes perfect we all started somewhere and trust me we all messed up big while learning just trust in yourself and keep on trying!! Xo
    IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK IN THE COMMENTS OR SEND ME A DIRECT MESSAGE!!
    I can help you with product information and discuss any further issues you may have!!

      @tisha2297 2 года назад

      Same. I've been looking. I can't find it. In one of her responses to a question about the machines, she just mentioned that the one she uses to cure takes 60 seconds, and the smaller one takes 30 seconds. But, I read in one of her responses to a question that you can use the one in the kit, but to just cover the light, and that should work. 🤷‍♀️

    @sonia i have this kit and can’t get these nails to stay on!! They literally pop off a day later. I’ve tried less glue, more glue and neither work. I’ve tried curing them longer but nothing seems to work. I’m wasting my whole kit! PS. I don’t have hydrator.
