I ordered both shapes. When I flash cure each nail, I flip my lamp on its side (remove bottom if your lamp has one), turn the lamp slightly away so the light isn't facing you, turn lamp on, and then cure while holding the nail in place. That's how I have both hands available to cure. (Hope this makes sense lol)
Hi..idk if Im understanding the reason for the "flash cure" or why it's called that. Why not just put your hand in the lamp for a couple of secs?? Im just asking bc Im trying to understand so I can do this also.
@@GabrielleEther flash curing helps to hold the nail in place before you do a full cure. It's to ensure that the nail won't pop off while your applying the others.
I just recently found your channel. I've only watched a few videos but I already love it ... down to earth, no BS, and totally honest. Thanks for your videos! I will keep watching.
YOUR WELCOME SWEETHEART 🥰♥️💗💖!!!!!Yeah!!!!! The video IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!! I’m so stoked you like them and that you shouted me out!!! Thanks for being one of the sweetest people I know!!! Brb gonna go watch 😘
Hi Jamie this is how I do my nails thanks to you I find it's brilliant for beginners, I still waiting for my little touch these nail tips looks amazing tysmfs take care xxx
@@jennifersoto4525 I say dont listen to the bulls***!! I personally am a leader not a follower!! So me I do not like to listen to that nonsense!! I placed an order that came to me SUPER QUICK!! Their products are really good.. That's what you do. You purchase your own products & see for yourself what your experience will be. For me my experience was amazing .I will be ordering more products very soon God bless
@Babygirlnails Hi Jamie, Girl , I did not get any notifications for this upload???!! & I nearly missed it ,l & I think I have missed some of your videos as of lately , -& I don't know why, but it bums me out, I love your videos! Thank you for sharing this, & esp. showing how you get the air bubbles out! Thank you 🥰 Ooh your nails look awesome! 😍♥️
Easier way to remove the spillage right from the horses mouth from him find a video with Suzie from NCE, is to take a gel brush and clean up the sides with alcohol before you put in the lamp.... Hope this was helpful
Cheryl Bruno very hard to do on yourself without it lifting. I will flash cure 5 sec. look at the finger. If there is leakage clean then or the way shown in this video if you don’t catch it.
Just ordered the beige coffins. Only thing, I can’t wear my nails that long (work on a computer all day) and I know once I cut them back, they will be square. I guess I can just re-shape them, but kinda defeats the purpose of buying coffins. I wear mine shorter, but long enough to make a coffin shape. I’d like to see the shapes in a more workable length for folks like me already in the desired shape so you only have to apply them and go. Can’t wait to try them though.
Lisa Palmiero , I ordered nude coffins as well, and still waiting on mine (hasn’t even been a full week yet, just excited!) I don’t wear long coffins like these either but it will be really nice to have the option, and if any of my friends want long coffin nails, I’ll already have these in my arsenal. I’ve been toying with the idea of something like this for a while because I get bored with my designs after a week of wear and it will be nice to be able to have the strength of gel but not need to reapply acrylic each time. Makes you wonder why his (enail couture) are so much cheaper than Apres, though??!!
I love this!! A few weeks back a girl did this but she didn't put the gel in the tip she used the base coat pushed the tip down and had her bf hold a small lamp over her hand. This seems so much easier. They look great!!
Just got my whole kit from Max this weekend. I put them on will let you know how long they last. I made a tiny bit of a mess buff nothing huge. Love the system.
also, if you don't like being able to see the lip of excess product at the free edge, you can flip your nail upside down and fill it with no wipe top coat to kinda camouflage it. Technically could use whatever you like, especially if you want more strength. Just some stuff I've messed around with while practicing and wanted to share ♥️
I have them but haven't used them yet. I have two broken nails now down to the meat. I might use these or do a poly gel. Kinda scared coz I have never done anything on my nails before
I saw him use these on suzie my concern wud be strength ? The set u have done here are technically half apres as u used mostly that product but wud be interesting to no how the 2 compair and which is better value for money
Okay, all you need to do to build strength is add a few thin layers of a soak off builder gel over your design. So your not only adding strength but you are also encapsulating your design. It's a win win and they will last until you wanna fill them or take them off. The Apres are a bit thicker but not much. I absolutely love them both!!! I would say the Apres is stronger as far as the gel tips are made. Other than that, they are both worth it.
I put on a set of these with all E Nail Couture products and no heat spikes and they look great! I trimmed mine shorter and after one week they are so solid I'm think I am just going to do a fill when they grow out and keep them on awhile. I didn't do anything to strengthen them just a gel polish glitter ombre design with a few gems and charms. I pulled weeds with no gloves to they got really dirty on the under sides and cleaned right up with no staining with a nail brush with soap and water. I used all E Nail Couture products for this mani and just followed one of Max Estrada's youtube tutorials. Boy do I love their products. I'm not a nail tech just a person with no training at all and my mani looks better then anything coming out of any salon in my area! You can see pics on my Instagram @stweedpics
Awesome doll. I only have the enail nails. I do have the matte and glossy top coat however. Yeah, the stains from the weeds I pulled didn't even budge with soap. I even tried bleach girl. Nope...LOL It's finally gone. I will follow ya. My instagram is babygirlnailz. tfw
Great video!!!! I really enjoy you , I’m going to try putting on one bail some Burts bee cuticle cream after I apply the first cured coat to just see if I can lift the squeezed out cured gel and clip it off easier. Just a thought I had watching you. Also, I always put the flashlight in my mouth till hubby saw me once now he helps, which amazed me! My last set is still staying on with no problem almost four weeks. I used Madam Glam builder in a bottle to put them on as I need to build up my thumbs first as the nail beds are flat. Thank You for a great video💕💕🥰🥰🥰
Hmmm 🧐🧐 this too looks simple to do and so nice looking. I used to always wear my nails square but have for the past while changed to coffin nails. When I seen you trim I was like 😱😱 I love super long nails,lol. So enjoyed your video big thumbs up 👍 and stars ⭐️ if I could 🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗🤗
Ooo these look really cool! I want to try them nail tips but not sure how much it would be to the UK. I am going to try this out I have some Ali express tips they should work. My nails are do thin due to all my operations the bloody flow to my nails is not great they get a little long then that's it so this would be great for me. Tfs 😁😀💜
I have had 2 sets on already and have not had any issues , I'm ready to do a new set soon . I sometimes do a nude nailbed w/a builder gel, a super thin layer. & Then apply them , I am trying to strengthen my natural nails & this makes them look better for clear designs. Jamie, do you top coat if you aren't going to polish them right away? I haven't left mine totally clear/unpolished yet
Ok so when I finish the nail what do I need to put on it, beacuse I want to put polish gel and matte top coat, does anything need to go before that maybe a primer or base coat. And If I want to put some builder gel on the nail what should I do first
FYI....Enailcouture.com just released super long, XXL LINE OF GEL press on’ s that are $14.99 in 3 shapes and there are 2 more shapes that are colored in a nude shade.
Thanks for the Great tutorial. I just purchased the nails and did not get the little flashlight so it was quite difficult curing my nails the first time I did it. That being said my question is do I have to buy the, “flashy” they have for sale on their website or is it simply just an LED flashlight?
DietDewAddicted Thanks so much hun, I actually have a link for a flashlight or you can buy his. It’s not just an led flashlight. I’ve tried those . It needs to be a led nail flashlight. Thanks sweetheart
Your getting awesome at these! I like this shape the most but all look great on you!! Tfs💜💖💜 oh I've been known, despite scrubbing with alcohol, "Dorito stains" 😂🤣😂those also seem to never go away!! Lol Though you said don't look...(of course I look 👀 then lol) But I saw nothing ! Tfs gal💜💖💜
Aww Thanks so much girl. Hahahah Doritis..LOL I love me some of those girl. I don't really care but love talking about the haters..LOL No, it's gone now thank goodness..Hahah My nails just looked horrid..Haha
As long as the tips are clear or opaque you can use any tips. I've even used Kiss glue on full cover nails and used builder gel or base coat to adhere the nails. They lasted for 3 weeks until I decided to remove them. Just know the plastic nails will melt more so than soak off.
C C JessieBoots ohh!! I love this idea. Could you use acrylic with any full coverage press on nails? I feel like this might be a stupid question 🤣. Just wanna know LOL
I just got the coffin in and idk if it’s just cuz I’m not doing something right but mine are super bendy I don’t mine a little bend any tips on how to stop that my natural nail beds a super short as well
Pinky Lemonade Life I absolutely love them. They hold up for a long time. I definitely will be wearing them more. Got new videos coming out using them too.
They look great. Maybe I'll get some in a few weeks. Talking about working in your yard, I saw a pair of gloves with little claws on them yesterday on Amazon. You might want to check them out. They were supposed to help you dig a little easier. If I were still able to work in a garden, I'd get them. :) xxx 💖💖💖
How long did they last queen? I love your application when I do it there’s always bubbles and spill on the cuticle cause the middle is never filled with gel and then the front part get stuck with gel. My nail doesn’t last but I want these to last 3 weeks and so I am giving it another go
You can do it doll. Mine last month’s if I want them to. Just make sure your prep is on point, you add a base coat, cure, etch the tips really well, add gel into tips, make sure it’s enough to flow from the cuticle to your free edge, then cure. Lmk how it works. 💗💗
I got mine in the mail over the weekend, but I had issues with application. I could not for the life of me get the actually nail to stay adhered to the gel. I even etched the inside of the nail. It is the most bizarre thing, do you have any tips?
I etched the inside with a nail drill and buffed all the shine off my natural nails. Then applied the base gel to my natural nails and cured for 60 seconds. Then applied base gel to the 1 2 3 go nail, rocked them onto the natural nail, held it firmly in place for a flash cure of about 10 seconds so no air bubbles, then cured for 90 seconds just to be sure. Their on so securely I went and bought a acetone steamer gel remover machine because I think I'll need a jackhammer otherwise to get them off! lol
Just what Mis Bunny Said is what I did. Make sure you prep well and add a base layer first. Don't forget the dehydrator and primer. Good Luck. You can do it. tfw
@@Fluffy1431 You're very welcome I forgot to mention before I buffed and applied the base coat to my natural nails I pushed back the cuticle and applied dehydrator and nail prep to prevent lifting.
Update: my problem came from using the enailcorture gummy jelly. For whatever reason it doesn't adhere to the fake nail like base gel or regular rhinestone gel.
Yeah, I'm sure since I've accidentally cured in the sun before 😂. Cures are longer I'd assume. Jamie probably can tell you. I know the mini Pink lamps start at 45 seconds minimum. I'd just cure until it's nice n hard...can test cure on a wax paper, form paper, pop up after so long see if "gooey" under if so needs more time. Easy way I check my lamp every few months. Just in case 😉 💜💖💜
@@Babygirlnails thank you so much for responding. Ill look up the times on my own. I couldn't think of what to ask bc i lobe your channel and tutorials!!
@@victordemarco01 Well you have 30 sec cure for like base gel and then 60 sec cure for all other gels except UV Gel. But most gels now are led and uv combined. So as long as you just stick with curing 60 sec each time you polish, you will be fine. tfw
I've watched most your videos especially comparing fast gel extension kits, from enailcourture, Apres, XV, KSky, etc. I'm not new to gels, but I am new to buying these kits. I wanted an opinion which one to buy? Fastest? On a budget? I watched Mark from enailcourture on NCE and doing his super fast kit. Your thoughts?
Ok girlfriend.. I've been using these for months . And I love them.. but what I want to do is make them look natural . I've mixed natural color (meaning the tip color beige) to the extend gel (which by the way I'm cheap I started using Mia secret builder gel in a bottle. ) Just as good. The pink I have down..I just put on a layer of pink gel polish before the extend gel. Works great and stays on.. But the beige natural color, I can't get right.. Do you have any suggestions? I just want them to look natural.. I'm not sure why a apres doesn't make a natural colored soft Gel nail?
I forgot to mention I love that brand that’s just one of my favorites there’s so many and there’s those it I don’t care of her so much which pretty much runs again with every technician and everyone is different on what products they like to work with Best but this products right here you are like phenomenal I wish I can get some more samples like I literally spent let’s just say 500+ on this Company
What other brands are there? Been trying to find similar products to compare but don’t know what to search. I tried searching press on gel nails without much luck. Thanks in advance!
Pls help me am learner my gel nails keep falling off :( . When I put base coat on iv been curing it then using isopropyl alcohol to remove sticky layer before adding polygel ugh.Only now iv heard it's meant to stay sticky? Is this right please x ty
Yes, don't take off tacky layer doll. Are you doing these type of nails? If so, don't use alcohol on them. It breaks the nails down. Message me with any questions. I have tons of how to videos. Good luck 👍😁😘
Hi! Are these the tips called "Coffin" on the site? There are so many different ones but I watched a 2021 video of yours and you mentioned using the "regular coffin" ones when he didn't have many tips.
Yes I do believe these are. He does have so many. Lol it’s hard to remember 😂 These are either the xl coffin or just coffin. Did I show the bag where it’s labeled?
@@Babygirlnails Ok awesome! No you didn't show a bag because you said they were older. Once I receive them I will leet you know if they are the same. Either way, you have done a fantastic job in comparing all of them (a few times if I'm not mistaken) so even if the one I grab is way longer, I can just cut them. Thank you for all you do because your videos have really helped me figure some things out. This will be my first time doing my own nails. God bless!!!
@@Babygirlnails Hey! Just following up. I got the nails from Enail 💅The "regular coffin" nails you use in this video and the 2021 comparison videos are the same as the "Coffin" nails on their site which is 3cm. The only difference is these are totally etched inside from top to bottom and have a satin look to it 💚
@@RaeYouGoGirl Yes cause those are the new already etched like you said. I still etch mine and use acrylic now to apply them. Works fantastic. Thanks for the update
Ooooh my gawd I want to try those so bad! I'm getting ready to make my first RUclips video for my new channel. Also, question... did you have an issue with the nails actually bending? Another you tuber has that issue with the stiletto ones... these remind me of the capped nails I used to do back in the 80s.. those were so cool and I wish they'd come out with those again. Oh the horror! Great looking nails though. Love the video.
Aww awesome. Please let me know when you do. Love to sub. I honestly don't mind if they bend before applying because us real nail gals know how to strengthen them. Hahaha am I right?? Just add some builder on top. 🤪🤪🤪😘😘😘
@@Babygirlnails absolutely! I will definitely let you know! I'm nervous to start but I'm also looking forward to it. I would coat the underside with a layer of builder gel then cure it and then add gel to apply it.
Try this from Amazon. It’s made for holding nail polish bottles but holds that flash curing light perfectly. Grip and Tip Nail Polish Holder Genuine Anti-Spill Bottle Stand
Can anybody help here?! I ordered almkst 3 weeks ago from enail couture and still no tracking number. I know things are probably slow due to covid 19. Just wondering if anybody had experienced waiting a long time to get their pkg? T.I.A
@@Babygirlnails thank you so much for taking the time out to answer my question! I love how sincere and thorough you are in your videos! Please continue the great work. You have inspired me in so many ways.
@@Babygirlnails I just started watching your vlog and I love it! Didnt realize i was logged into my daughter's google account on here. But I wanted to share something. I am not trying to vash enail coutoure in anyway. I had reached out to see about paying for expedited shipping and you wouldn't believe the prices. $223.60 for 2 day shipping! That cost more than what I payed for the actual product. Ill just wait!
Question: How long before this company ship out their product? I order/paid for the tips over 4 days ago and no shipment confirmation notification as of yet.
It took me 2 longggg weeks to get mine, but I know that they are extremely busy!! I signed up for the USPS informed delivery , &: check it often to see when it starts to ship. They are def. Worth it like Jamie says!! ♥️
Hi everyone what's the point of the flash cure?? Bc im wondering why cant you just put them under the lamp for a couple secs?? Have to be a reason I just dont get it
Putting them under the lamp for a few sec is flash curing doll. It's so the gel doesn't move around while your finishing the rest of your nails. After you are done, you can fully cure them all. That's the reason for flash curing.
@@Babygirlnails thank you hun...i was just wondering why people won't just use their regular lamp but instead they buy an extra tool but now I see that it is helpful. Thank you for responding. 😊
@@GabrielleEther Ohh okay, haha it's super helpful when applying stones and you want stones on all nails. Cause u can flash cure each one so they don't move. 😘
I love the 1,2,3 go nails. The first time I tried them they turned out great but my 2nd time i had to redo 3 nails because they popped off 30 minutes later smh. I think it was because of air bubbles
Yes they can. I clipped and filed them before putting them on then wanted them a little more shorter and clipped and filed them again after they were on.
Yes, you can fill these. I have a video doing a fill with the Apres gel x nails and they are the same thing basically. If you wanna watch. It's in my gel x playlist. Thanks 😊😘
Funny thing too I put the light in my mouth 👄 that’s how I found you someone said, I follow someone that does that too!! 😵😵😵 the only way I could figure it out to use both hands. I know Xtensystem just came out with a hands free tall lamp. May have to invest in it for myself. 💜💜💜🤣
I used the Apres Gel X Extend gel but I have used cheap gel and it worked fine. Here is a link for some dupe gel that works awesome. www.amazon.com/YesLady-Rhinestone-Adhesive-Diamond-Builder/dp/B07QHVVP2
Haha I'm glad I'm not the only one that uses an LED flashlight in the mouth to self flash cure these (well the Apres brand, I don't have this brand yet)
@@Babygirlnails One finger is bend and the other two are half way gone missing the knuckle. I had an accident years ago. My fault. I may not be a Vietnam or Iraqi veteran w/ missing limbs but I hide my hand like I'm one. I love your rudy colored stone as well as the sapphire/cobalt stone and I've never seen a Claddagh ring with a turquoise colored stone. That's really unique.
CMissShelleyMichelle Well your still beautiful no matter what you had to endure. My Aunt lost fingers in a auto crash years ago as well. I’m sorry you had to go through that. This body is only a shell so that we can live life here on earth. Someday you’ll have your fingers back.
@@Babygirlnails that's what my Catholic/rosary praying Grandma who was very religious said. That our body was just a "shell" and that when we die we leave our shell behind but our soul lives on and goes to heaven. Thank you for that. ✊✌🙏 😇

You should try this w a cover nude polygel instead of builder in a bottle! it kinda ends up with a baby french kind of look! super easy lol

Jamie, do you top coat if you aren't going to polish them right away? I haven't left mine totally clear/unpolished yet
Ok so when I finish the nail what do I need to put on it, beacuse I want to put polish gel and matte top coat, does anything need to go before that maybe a primer or base coat. And If I want to put some builder gel on the nail what should I do first
Iva K You can add whatever you want hun. Then encapsulate it all in a few thin coats of builder gel and then top coat. Tfw huni
So you can use any brand dehydrator and primer? Sorry newbie here lol can’t wait to get xxl square & coffin!
Yes you sure can huni. Welcome to my channel. Hope ya stay. Tfw
FYI....Enailcouture.com just released super long, XXL LINE OF GEL press on’ s that are $14.99 in 3 shapes and there are 2 more shapes that are colored in a nude shade.
Yes, I saw that. Thanks so much for telling me also.
Yes, they are very sturdy also very hard to remove lol. They are perfect if you need to get done in a hurry👍😍❤️❤️
They really are sturdy. I soak off mine and it works great girl. I agree, they are fast and easy to do. tfw
@@Babygirlnails Can you recommend any inexpensive extend gel plz Thanks
@@kamalbrar5682 Actually any clear builder in a bottle would work great. Any thick soak off gel. Or you can get the gem gel in the small pots.
Thank you so much ❣️
Also, are gem gels soak off?
These look great...can you do this method on any regular nail extension or just the extensions made from gel if that makes sense?? Tfs
Any of them should work. I did a dupe video and it's in my Apres Gel Playlist. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the Great tutorial. I just purchased the nails and did not get the little flashlight so it was quite difficult curing my nails the first time I did it. That being said my question is do I have to buy the, “flashy” they have for sale on their website or is it simply just an LED flashlight?
DietDewAddicted Thanks so much hun, I actually have a link for a flashlight or you can buy his. It’s not just an led flashlight. I’ve tried those . It needs to be a led nail flashlight. Thanks sweetheart
BabygirlNails thanks! I just ordered it from your link. 👍😁
DietDewAddicted Great!! You’re gonna love that thing, lol. It’s been a life saver for me.
Your getting awesome at these! I like this shape the most but all look great on you!! Tfs💜💖💜 oh I've been known, despite scrubbing with alcohol, "Dorito stains"
😂🤣😂those also seem to never go away!! Lol Though you said don't look...(of course I look 👀 then lol)
But I saw nothing ! Tfs gal💜💖💜
Aww Thanks so much girl. Hahahah Doritis..LOL I love me some of those girl. I don't really care but love talking about the haters..LOL No, it's gone now thank goodness..Hahah My nails just looked horrid..Haha
@@Babygirlnails love those things too!! Yummy😋😋😋 oh u know I know haters. 😔 just meanies. Love ya💜💖💜
Just wondering, why did you not shape the cuticle edge for a custom fit as instructed for these gel nails?
You can if they do not fit your cuticle. I didn't have any problem. Tfw
Love this! Going to order those now. Just wondering if this would work with any tips or only the enailcouture?
As long as the tips are clear or opaque you can use any tips. I've even used Kiss glue on full cover nails and used builder gel or base coat to adhere the nails. They lasted for 3 weeks until I decided to remove them. Just know the plastic nails will melt more so than soak off.
C C JessieBoots ohh!! I love this idea. Could you use acrylic with any full coverage press on nails? I feel like this might be a stupid question 🤣. Just wanna know LOL
I just got the coffin in and idk if it’s just cuz I’m not doing something right but mine are super bendy I don’t mine a little bend any tips on how to stop that my natural nail beds a super short as well
Apply a few coats of soak off gel on top of them hun before you polish and top coat.
Good, I’m not the only one that puts the flashlight in my mouth, they have all kinds a new shapes, I use them I’m my clients and everyone loves them
Melissa Nagy Yeah they do. I have a few of the new ones. I sure love them. Thanks sweetheart
Now that you've used these, for a while (Is the date right on this Nov. 3, 2019?) what are your thoughts on the product? I'd love to know
Pinky Lemonade Life I absolutely love them. They hold up for a long time. I definitely will be wearing them more. Got new videos coming out using them too.
How long did they last
My question exactly! How long did they last you?
Riana Botha They lasted until I filled them in, about 3,weeks
Shuree Dawn About 3 weeks and I filled them in. Tfw
Wow looks so easy!! N pretty...i gotta get me sum of these!!😁
These are really nice. I have a question 🤔 Dosent the cuticle oil make them lift ?
I’ve never had an issue applying cuticle oil afterwards. Some people might. If you do, I wouldn’t use it. Thanks for watching gal
They look great. Maybe I'll get some in a few weeks. Talking about working in your yard, I saw a pair of gloves with little claws on them yesterday on Amazon. You might want to check them out. They were supposed to help you dig a little easier. If I were still able to work in a garden, I'd get them. :) xxx 💖💖💖
I have ordered some of these should get them in next day or so ❤️😍yaaaa up date nails have just arrived can not wait to try them 👍👍😀
Enjoy them Hun. Tfw 😍
How long did they last queen? I love your application when I do it there’s always bubbles and spill on the cuticle cause the middle is never filled with gel and then the front part get stuck with gel. My nail doesn’t last but I want these to last 3 weeks and so I am giving it another go
You can do it doll. Mine last month’s if I want them to. Just make sure your prep is on point, you add a base coat, cure, etch the tips really well, add gel into tips, make sure it’s enough to flow from the cuticle to your free edge, then cure. Lmk how it works. 💗💗
@@Babygirlnails thank you! I am doing them today 💗
@@Tyrathetyrant144k Welcome huni
@@Babygirlnails IT WORKED
@@Tyrathetyrant144k AWESOME!!!!! I knew you could do it hun.
I got mine in the mail over the weekend, but I had issues with application. I could not for the life of me get the actually nail to stay adhered to the gel. I even etched the inside of the nail. It is the most bizarre thing, do you have any tips?
I etched the inside with a nail drill and buffed all the shine off my natural nails. Then applied the base gel to my natural nails and cured for 60 seconds. Then applied base gel to the 1 2 3 go nail, rocked them onto the natural nail, held it firmly in place for a flash cure of about 10 seconds so no air bubbles, then cured for 90 seconds just to be sure. Their on so securely I went and bought a acetone steamer gel remover machine because I think I'll need a jackhammer otherwise to get them off! lol
Just what Mis Bunny Said is what I did. Make sure you prep well and add a base layer first. Don't forget the dehydrator and primer. Good Luck. You can do it. tfw
Thank you both so much! I think my problem came into not rock the gel on my nail! How silly right? 🤭🧡🌞
@@Fluffy1431 You're very welcome I forgot to mention before I buffed and applied the base coat to my natural nails I pushed back the cuticle and applied dehydrator and nail prep to prevent lifting.
Update: my problem came from using the enailcorture gummy jelly. For whatever reason it doesn't adhere to the fake nail like base gel or regular rhinestone gel.
Great job girl. I love. This way makes doing your own nails so much easier. You don't have to put a primer before the base gel?
Yes, prime and dehydrate before applying the base. I didn't show that I guess. LOL Sometimes I completely forget. Haha DUH
@@Babygirlnails No worries I thought so just wanted to make sure . Thanks love
HI > The last one that you use the gold lid to put your nail tip ? what the name of the product Thanks
denise gibbs That’s the extend gel from Apres Gel X sweetheart
@@Babygirlnails Oh Thank you so much !!!!
What gel did you use to stick the nails on with? Have you tried the gel that comes with the nails kit, wondered if it was any good?
Anna Ly I’ve ordered the enail couture gel but I use a clear builder most of the time and it works great.
@@Babygirlnails great thanks! ☺
Can you use the little LED flashlight to cure gel polish in a pinch if you don't have a lamp? I cannot find the curing times anywhere...
Yeah, I'm sure since I've accidentally cured in the sun before 😂. Cures are longer I'd assume. Jamie probably can tell you. I know the mini Pink lamps start at 45 seconds minimum. I'd just cure until it's nice n hard...can test cure on a wax paper, form paper, pop up after so long see if "gooey" under if so needs more time. Easy way I check my lamp every few months. Just in case 😉 💜💖💜
Might take a while though 😉
Yes you can doll. Curing times for what doll?? A lamp, the flashlight you would have to time it but it does work.
@@Babygirlnails thank you so much for responding. Ill look up the times on my own. I couldn't think of what to ask bc i lobe your channel and tutorials!!
@@victordemarco01 Well you have 30 sec cure for like base gel and then 60 sec cure for all other gels except UV Gel. But most gels now are led and uv combined. So as long as you just stick with curing 60 sec each time you polish, you will be fine. tfw
I've watched most your videos especially comparing fast gel extension kits, from enailcourture, Apres, XV, KSky, etc. I'm not new to gels, but I am new to buying these kits. I wanted an opinion which one to buy? Fastest? On a budget? I watched Mark from enailcourture on NCE and doing his super fast kit. Your thoughts?
Enail Couture isn’t fast by any means but much more options and so adorable. I absolutely love all my nails from them. Thanks sweetheart
Ok girlfriend.. I've been using these for months . And I love them.. but what I want to do is make them look natural . I've mixed natural color (meaning the tip color beige) to the extend gel (which by the way I'm cheap I started using Mia secret builder gel in a bottle. ) Just as good. The pink I have down..I just put on a layer of pink gel polish before the extend gel. Works great and stays on.. But the beige natural color, I can't get right.. Do you have any suggestions? I just want them to look natural.. I'm not sure why a apres doesn't make a natural colored soft Gel nail?
Hmm, good question. Maybe keep trying nude and pinks to make the perfect color?
I like how you showed how slowly you pressed your nail on. I think that may have been my problem in the past. THANKS ! Now I know.
Sandra Knusta Anytime hun. Thanks for watching
Hi, nice video. What kind of gel was used to place the tips?
I used Madam Glam's Clear Builder gel but you can use any builder gel to do them doll. Thanks
BabygirlNails thank you
I forgot to mention I love that brand that’s just one of my favorites there’s so many and there’s those it I don’t care of her so much which pretty much runs again with every technician and everyone is different on what products they like to work with Best but this products right here you are like phenomenal I wish I can get some more samples like I literally spent let’s just say 500+ on this Company
Paula Mattis Thanks so much Paula.
What other brands are there? Been trying to find similar products to compare but don’t know what to search. I tried searching press on gel nails without much luck. Thanks in advance!
Apres dupe seems to be very popular with you.Do you think you will go back to doing nails the regular way again?
Yes they sure have been but I will be doing different stuff doll. I just wanted to try all the different full gel nail tips. tfw
@@Babygirlnails they seem so easy and the shaping is always perfect.That's a gd thing. Not all of us can get perfect shaping .
They are the best nails ever.
Thank you so much 😊
Pls help me am learner my gel nails keep falling off :( . When I put base coat on iv been curing it then using isopropyl alcohol to remove sticky layer before adding polygel ugh.Only now iv heard it's meant to stay sticky? Is this right please x ty
Yes, don't take off tacky layer doll. Are you doing these type of nails? If so, don't use alcohol on them. It breaks the nails down. Message me with any questions. I have tons of how to videos. Good luck 👍😁😘
Hi! Are these the tips called "Coffin" on the site? There are so many different ones but I watched a 2021 video of yours and you mentioned using the "regular coffin" ones when he didn't have many tips.
Yes I do believe these are. He does have so many. Lol it’s hard to remember 😂 These are either the xl coffin or just coffin. Did I show the bag where it’s labeled?
@@Babygirlnails Ok awesome! No you didn't show a bag because you said they were older. Once I receive them I will leet you know if they are the same. Either way, you have done a fantastic job in comparing all of them (a few times if I'm not mistaken) so even if the one I grab is way longer, I can just cut them. Thank you for all you do because your videos have really helped me figure some things out. This will be my first time doing my own nails. God bless!!!
@@RaeYouGoGirl Aw you’re welcome sweetie. Yes let me know and have a blessed day!!!
@@Babygirlnails Hey! Just following up. I got the nails from Enail 💅The "regular coffin" nails you use in this video and the 2021 comparison videos are the same as the "Coffin" nails on their site which is 3cm. The only difference is these are totally etched inside from top to bottom and have a satin look to it 💚
@@RaeYouGoGirl Yes cause those are the new already etched like you said. I still etch mine and use acrylic now to apply them. Works fantastic. Thanks for the update
Ooooh my gawd I want to try those so bad! I'm getting ready to make my first RUclips video for my new channel. Also, question... did you have an issue with the nails actually bending? Another you tuber has that issue with the stiletto ones... these remind me of the capped nails I used to do back in the 80s.. those were so cool and I wish they'd come out with those again. Oh the horror! Great looking nails though. Love the video.
Aww awesome. Please let me know when you do. Love to sub. I honestly don't mind if they bend before applying because us real nail gals know how to strengthen them. Hahaha am I right?? Just add some builder on top. 🤪🤪🤪😘😘😘
@@Babygirlnails absolutely! I will definitely let you know! I'm nervous to start but I'm also looking forward to it. I would coat the underside with a layer of builder gel then cure it and then add gel to apply it.
@@Tzaddiel Don't be nervous. You got this girl. I can't wait!!!
I’m hard with my nails, how do these stand up vs. acrylics?
They stand up very well. Ya gotta try them and see if they work for you or not.
They look so easy to use tyfs happy new year hunni 💕
These are really fun and easy. tfw
What is the name of the gel in the gold bottle? She uses it to apply the tips with? Can’t seem to find it 😱
Iris Huijkman Ohh that’s Apres Gel X extend gel doll.
BabygirlNails thank you!! Love the video!
@@IrisHuijkman Sure thing huni. Glad ya liked it. tfw
Try this from Amazon. It’s made for holding nail polish bottles but holds that flash curing light perfectly.

Thanks so much!!! Happy New Year to you doll.
Can anybody help here?! I ordered almkst 3 weeks ago from enail couture and still no tracking number. I know things are probably slow due to covid 19. Just wondering if anybody had experienced waiting a long time to get their pkg? T.I.A
Yes, it’s taking double time for orders. It is a long wait.
@@Babygirlnails thank you so much for taking the time out to answer my question! I love how sincere and thorough you are in your videos! Please continue the great work. You have inspired me in so many ways.
@@Babygirlnails I just started watching your vlog and I love it! Didnt realize i was logged into my daughter's google account on here. But I wanted to share something. I am not trying to vash enail coutoure in anyway. I had reached out to see about paying for expedited shipping and you wouldn't believe the prices. $223.60 for 2 day shipping! That cost more than what I payed for the actual product. Ill just wait!
Mckenzie Mack Oh wow, that’s crazy!!! I appreciate ya watching huni.
I wonder if you could use gummy jelly to do this
Absolutely hun!!
Question: How long before this company ship out their product? I order/paid for the tips over 4 days ago and no shipment confirmation notification as of yet.
About a week their very busy! I usually expect to receive an order about 1-1/2 to 2 weeks after placing it.
It took about 7-10 days for my package to show up and I live on the exact opposite side of America ? Hopefully you’ll get it soon....
It only took 2 weeks and I had mine. I sure hope they come huni. It's worth it. They will.
It took me 2 longggg weeks to get mine, but I know that they are extremely busy!! I signed up for the USPS informed delivery , &: check it often to see when it starts to ship. They are def. Worth it like Jamie says!! ♥️
Mis Bunny okay thank you for the information
How do these compare to the apres gel x nails? Are they the same?
I actually love them both and have a comparison video. Tfw doll
@@BabygirlnailsThanks I watched it already, I guess I'm going to have to invest in both 😊
I'm lovet your thet beautiful nails and l lovet how you show step by step nails to do great video sweetheart sis 😘😘😘 love you ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much sis
how long did it take to ship??
I got them in a few weeks doll.
I'm not sure if I missed it but did you use the apres extend gel to apply the tips?
I did. Thanks doll
Hi everyone what's the point of the flash cure?? Bc im wondering why cant you just put them under the lamp for a couple secs?? Have to be a reason I just dont get it
Putting them under the lamp for a few sec is flash curing doll. It's so the gel doesn't move around while your finishing the rest of your nails. After you are done, you can fully cure them all. That's the reason for flash curing.
@@Babygirlnails thank you hun...i was just wondering why people won't just use their regular lamp but instead they buy an extra tool but now I see that it is helpful. Thank you for responding. 😊
@@GabrielleEther Ohh okay, haha it's super helpful when applying stones and you want stones on all nails. Cause u can flash cure each one so they don't move. 😘
I love the 1,2,3 go nails. The first time I tried them they turned out great but my 2nd time i had to redo 3 nails because they popped off 30 minutes later smh. I think it was because of air bubbles
I haven’t had any issues with mine yet but I agree!! I love enc too. Tfw
Is the tips just coffin or different nail as well?
Enailcouture.com has many shapes available.
@@Babygirlnails yes i know that lik I was asking was the nails u had did they come with coffin or all different kinds of tips?
@@Gorgeousbaebeauty Sorry doll. It just comes with coffins of all sizes.
Should the primer dry before adding basecoat pls
Yes, it doesn't take long to try. tfw
@@Babygirlnails tyx
Basecoat protects? If I add acrylic extensions
I was wondering if the tips could be clipped to shorten.
Yes they can. I clipped and filed them before putting them on then wanted them a little more shorter and clipped and filed them again after they were on.
Yes, I clipped in this video doll.
Lol I have had stained nails from yard work I just end up taking off my gloves. I know I can always fix/change them lol. Nice set for “naked” !!
Haha, same. Lol Tfw 😘
Do you refill these? What do you do when they grow out?
Yes, you can fill these. I have a video doing a fill with the Apres gel x nails and they are the same thing basically. If you wanna watch. It's in my gel x playlist. Thanks 😊😘
@@Babygirlnails ok thank you from one nail tech to another. 93.
@@julieankhan.2801 Absolutely
Can you use acrylic on top of these nails?
Yes and I have done it. If you check my Enail Couture or Apres Gel X Playlist it's in there. I have done that a few times.
@@Babygirlnails thanks for the reply it was important😂💖
Tina Lynch You’re welcome 😉
Can you use regular polish?
Mariajo A To polish the nails yes hun
Funny thing too I put the light in my mouth 👄 that’s how I found you someone said, I follow someone that does that too!! 😵😵😵 the only way I could figure it out to use both hands. I know Xtensystem just came out with a hands free tall lamp. May have to invest in it for myself. 💜💜💜🤣
Tracey Evans Haha gotta do what ya gotta do right girl. Lol 😂
I use the Xtens lamp. It makes it so easy.
@@nicolesmith2112 Yeah, I have mini lamps I could have used but just used the flashlight. LOL
I saw a video where the enail coturure tip they bends as they were paper. It is true?
No, they are real gel. They are fragile but not as bad as some make them out to be. They actually work very well once on the nail. tfw
If that amazing beautiful company is watching and reading the comments please send me some freebies so I can post them Gracias
How you remove your nails?? With acetone?? Or dril??
Niobe Hdez Pure Acetone doll. Tfw

So do u paint them or dip them after? Thanks
You polish them if ya want doll.

Cool way to do tip. I use nail glue.
Thanks. This is something pretty new. tfw
Thanks for your wonderful tips 💅🏽💅🏽💅🏽💅🏽💅🏽💅🏽
Can you show me or use the gel you used
I used the Apres Gel X Extend gel but I have used cheap gel and it worked fine. Here is a link for some dupe gel that works awesome. www.amazon.com/YesLady-Rhinestone-Adhesive-Diamond-Builder/dp/B07QHVVP2

Who puts cuticle on before you polish??
I do if I’m not polishing that day. Thanks
Can you clip the nails shorter? I would like to try this system next
Yes, absolutely hun.

Hahaha It's so much easier..LOL
I'm sitting under the learning tree....I might do this the next time I do a full set.
You should definitely try these. It's so fast and easy. Tfw 😍
