I have no intention on opening a shop or doin nails for a living. But I just 2 days ago decide I wanted to try start doin nails for the family, for fun, and after watching this video (even tho I already have the items in my Amazon cart lol) after watching this video, I could say I'm sold. I'm hitting order right now. I live in the Caribbean BTW lol
Tysm for the video! I just graduated from nail tech school and base coat is only used to lengthen the life of gel polish on your natural nails. There's no need to use it on tips, BIAB, or acrylic 😊💝
I have practiced this method about 2 years and I love it. The longer times that I have had them it's 1 month. It's not good to have them so long but they work really good for me. And make you save a lot money.
I keep my nails short but I loooove a clean cuticle! This was so cozy and relaxing. They came out great, and I love the nod to fall 😊 I'm looking at a few colors to add to my docket.
I agree. I do, however, use a basecoat with my applications because I do fill-ins most of the time and it helps to remove the color without me filing down to actual nail too much. Pretty much acting as a barrier but if I am going to soak off and do a new application I don't bother to apply.
I'm learning how to do gel nails on myself and have been STRUGGLING with an overflowing cuticle and excess gel at the natural edge because I don't have a gooseneck lamp, but this taught me SOOOOOOO much!!! Thank you for the tips!!!
Loved your design and tut! I don’t use base coat with gel x nails either, mostly cause the nail extension itself is made out of gel so a base coat isn’t really needed in my opinion!
thankyou! i have been struggling with gel extensions, i’m used to acrylic. and my gels wouldn’t stay put and this has helped me loads! i’ve subbed! thank u!!
You are so cute! And your nails turned out great! I’m self taught as well but I rarely do any nail designs. I usually just use semi cured gel nails if I want a design. I just don’t have time.
I've just discovered your channel, it's very useful. Could you please show us on another video how you remove these gel nail extensions? Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
Hi and welcome to my channel! Of course I can make a full video on this soon ☺️ in the mean time I do have a quick Shorts video on how I remove them ➡️ ruclips.net/user/shorts-dagO5vEkm0?feature=share
Now I see why my gel nails pop off. I am not applying enough glue and the most I did to prep my nails was buff it to remove oil and made the gel nail gritty inside, but I'm going to try these extra steps. Thank you for this detailed video
No Thank you! I am literally ordering all the tools you used now and can’t wait to have a go on my own nails! I want to create this as a new hobby because I love art, wish me luck 😆💗
I just started doing my own nails and this was super helpful, thank you! I may have gone to beauty school so I have a salon license, but I didn’t study nails, just skin 😂
I have a question? Today is Wednesday August 7. I just did a complete new set of nail extensions. Using Beetles full nail tips and gel glue. I want to send a snap shot. Of white film under the nails. I’m was wondering if you could tell me what I did ! The only thing I did different was I put primer instead of using the Efile
Beautiful design and great suggestions to make nails last longer and look more natural! Do you like your e-file? I have one from many many years ago and it doesn’t seem very strong but I’m thinking all of the cheap ones meant for homes are like that 🤷♀️
these nails last! MY NAIL salon days are over! +$60.. its funny i used to do glue nails in middle school but now i know way more steps now that im 30 years young
Usually at least 3 weeks. Sometimes more and sometimes I’ll have a few pop off before 3 weeks. I’m currently trying to figure the best application method for retention so I can get a solid 4 weeks every time
i love this video sooo much, but how do you do this with your non dominant hand your so good at it but I have really shakey hands already so I'm afraid that it will look bad.
Hi! your nails turned out soo pretty!! I have a question, when you apply the last top coat, do you clean it after? or just cure it and leave it as it is?
I cure it and leave it as it because it is a “non wipe” top coat made specifically so there is no sticky residue! With regular top coat you will have to wipe that layer off
It wasn't until now I realized I could prime all my tips ahead of time after fitting them. Here I've been doing them one at a time prior to application, dang haha
Did you see a difference in using gel X prep instead of filing the nail and putting extend gel on the natural nail before the tip ? Because I think I want to try it, but only if it’s more effective
😍 Just came across your channel and I loveeee! Obsessed with nail videos and doing mine and my daughters at home. Still learning and trying to perfect it. Did you find the extra step in filling the cuticle area on the nail tips help it look more natural especially once they start growing out?? I feel like mine look a little bulky around the cuticles especially once they start to grow out.
Hi! Sorry, super late. But Yes I definitely recommend filing the cuticle to make that part a little thinner and help it look more seamless as it grows out 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Omg your amazing! I ordered my items on Amazon to do my own nails. Question - how long do you leave the nails under the UV lamp when your applying the nails with the glue and when you paint it? Plssss lmk I don’t wanna over due it
Hi! For polish it’s usually 30-60 secs but every polish should come with specific instructions. When I’m applying the nails I make sure to stick my entire hand under the lamp for a solid 60 secs
Hello 😊. Question i but my nails really bad and I tried doing gel x nails like 4 times but they come off the next day. I was wondering if it’s because I bit my nails so bad? Is there anything I can do for them to last longer ?
Im not exactly sure but I am a pretty bad nail biter and they always last more than just a few days. As long as there is still natural nail left, enough to be covered my a nail tip and you’re doing proper nail prep and application, the extensions should stay. What does your nail prep consist of?
Sorry for the late reply but you couldddd but I definitely don’t recommend. It’ll be hard for the curing light to pass through the design and cure the gel extension glue underneath. If that glue is not cured completely your nails won’t stay long at all

Drilling the cuticle part of the gel nail before applying is genius

Why not good to have for long?
I keep my nails short but I loooove a clean cuticle! This was so cozy and relaxing. They came out great, and I love the nod to fall 😊 I'm looking at a few colors to add to my docket.
Thank you so much for watching! 🤎
Just letting you know base coat only matter if you’re using a high pigmented nail color so you don’t stain your natural nail 😊
but if ur using gel x nails it wouldnt stain her nail color right
I agree. I do, however, use a basecoat with my applications because I do fill-ins most of the time and it helps to remove the color without me filing down to actual nail too much. Pretty much acting as a barrier but if I am going to soak off and do a new application I don't bother to apply.
Not always true!! But it can help with that
I like your work it's fabulous
I'm glad u said it cause I'm new at doing my own nails just got everything for it but the base coat. So I dnt need that
I love the simple but elegant design. Also outstanding application of your Gel-X/Apres
Thank you!!
I'm learning how to do gel nails on myself and have been STRUGGLING with an overflowing cuticle and excess gel at the natural edge because I don't have a gooseneck lamp, but this taught me SOOOOOOO much!!! Thank you for the tips!!!

Thank you so much!!
This makes me wanna learn to do gel nails myself😭 they turned out so good!!!
Thank you!! And try it out soon☺️ so happy I learned how
Loved your design and tut! I don’t use base coat with gel x nails either, mostly cause the nail extension itself is made out of gel so a base coat isn’t really needed in my opinion!
Thank youuu ☺️ And that makes so much sense!
So you just use top coat? I just order to do my only that’s why but I order base coat lol

I've never seen anyone file down the false nails around the cuticle are before application. I'm going to try that!!!
They came out beautiful 😍 thanks for sharing 🙏🏼❤️
Oohhh I love them ! So pretty ! Nice job !!
You are so cute! And your nails turned out great! I’m self taught as well but I rarely do any nail designs. I usually just use semi cured gel nails if I want a design. I just don’t have time.

Beautiful ! I just learned about gel X nail set. I can hardly wait to buy some.
Thank you! Gel x is the best
@@YalianaEnid I can hardly wait to buy some. Someone told me about it 2day.
These turned out super cute. I’m here to stay 💕
Thanks so much 😊
They make nails that already have that texture now 🥰

Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful 💓☺️☺️
Thank you for this I am just learning how to do gel x nails ❤
Apply a layer of gel x to your nail first is a crucial step
Thank you for this amazing video I have been watching videos about nails and yours was really informative ❤
Thanks so much for watching! 💓
This is so beautiful!!!! The gel nails look really cute compared to acrylic. Your designs were very neat too, I am so inspired. Thank you sis 💕💅🏾
Thank YOU! 💓💓

I love the video. What lamp are you using and where can I find it 🌺
I just started doing my own nails and this was super helpful, thank you! I may have gone to beauty school so I have a salon license, but I didn’t study nails, just skin 😂
They came out beautiful great job 💅
Thank you!
I loveeee these nails! 😍😍
Thank you!
Is there lamp to cure the tips different from the one you use to cure the gel polish? Can I use the gel polish one?
You’re so pretty!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful....thanks I learned a lot😍
You’re welcome!
Now you're nails are the inspo🤭😍
Thank you🥰
This is awesome!!! True on artificial u don’t need base cost only on natural nails.
So satisfying 😊 love it!!!! 😍😍
Thank you!!
So Pretty love these colors and designs
Thank you!
Def needed more tips! Looks great!
More to come!
Can u use base coat as a nail glue?
I’m a new subscriber can I tell u ur so pretty
Yes base is needed to make the designs slide easier.
This is so helpful thank you sis!
Excellent tutorial !
Thank you!
I have a question?
Today is Wednesday August 7. I just did a complete new set of nail extensions. Using Beetles full nail tips and gel glue.
I want to send a snap shot. Of white film under the nails. I’m was wondering if you could tell me what I did !
The only thing I did different was I put primer instead of using the Efile
Does it matter if I use regular uv/led nail glue versus the extension glue you showed? Or are they the same thing?
Great video! If I were to purchase tips that were already painted, would the process be the same up until shaping/painting? Thank you!
i like to etch the inside of the nail w a nail drill then use primer my nails have never lasted longer
Beautiful design and great suggestions to make nails last longer and look more natural! Do you like your e-file? I have one from many many years ago and it doesn’t seem very strong but I’m thinking all of the cheap ones meant for homes are like that 🤷♀️
typically you only need base coat for bare nails to build strength but apres tips are really strong so it’s not needed
That makes sense!
these nails last! MY NAIL salon days are over! +$60.. its funny i used to do glue nails in middle school but now i know way more steps now that im 30 years young
They came out so pretty! How long does a set last you, give or take?
Usually at least 3 weeks. Sometimes more and sometimes I’ll have a few pop off before 3 weeks. I’m currently trying to figure the best application method for retention so I can get a solid 4 weeks every time
@@YalianaEnid If you buzz where you put the glue before, it will help the glue attach to the extension. :)
Amazing design!
Thank you!
Gorgeous!
Thank you!
great post! what LED lamp do you recommend? the one I got doesn't work good :/
this is beautiful and helpful but can you tell me how long these nails can stick properly because i m scared if they removed easily 😢😢🙁🙁
I agree, Saviland extension glue is one of my favourite. Great tutorial ❤
It's great! and thank you so much :)
Hello I love your videos could you please link the lamp you used to flash dry your nails please I can not find it on amazon like you said
Can you link which lamp you use please. Nails are so pretty 😍
Omg beautiful
i love this video sooo much, but how do you do this with your non dominant hand your so good at it but I have really shakey hands already so I'm afraid that it will look bad.
Awww so pretty😍
Thank you ☺️
Love this!
I’m definitely going to try the filing on the top portion to have it lay more naturally. I’ll keep y’all updated!
They’re going to come out great! 💕
@@YalianaEnid how long did you cure the nail glue for after you applied it to your natural nails? ❤
@@elenamikaelson9310 60 sec! :)
@@YalianaEnid thank you! ❤️
Ok I have all the supplies I need except for the Gel X prep. Is it ok if I do it without it or is crucial?
Base coat is only for the natural nail! It’s to stop staining 😊 if you have a nail enhancement on it won’t matter.
Beautiful ❤
Hi! your nails turned out soo pretty!! I have a question, when you apply the last top coat, do you clean it after? or just cure it and leave it as it is?

Hello lovely! When you put the thin layer of gel on at the beginning around 3:55 how long did you cure it for?
60 secs ☺️

Do you use acetone to seal the gel nail before polishing?

Thank you 🙏🏽 also when your cleaning up the polish around your nails is that acetone? When can I purchase acetone?
I’ve also some tiktokers they use acetone to melt the gelx into your nail? Is that something you’ve tried or recommend to do?
@@mailevakapuna9797 im usually using alcohol to clean up around the nail but acetone will work as well!
@@mailevakapuna9797 I’ve never seen this or really understand how that’s done. I’ve never tried it
can we use a base coat as a nail polish? Cause I have this milky one and I want to use it as nail polish bc I can’t find it at stores
So pretty! Pleeaaaseee list the links to products used! ☺
I completely forgot!! They’ll be up soon ☺️
I love these nails gorgeous ❤❤❤beautiful
Thanks so much. 💓
How long does a set with this kind of application last you? My gel sets last for 2-3 days before popping off!
Omg me too!!!!! I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. I dehydrate, prime, and everything!?
@@briannaleal4580same!!
These are soooooo beautiful
Thank you!!
How long did you cure the extension glue before putting tips on?
Love this set Beautiful
Thank you!
Thanks for this video ❤
This was perfect!!
I need you to do my nails! I pay you LOL! You did an excellent job!
Thank you so much!! Wish I could 🫶🏽
So you don’t buff your nails before applying the dehydrator and primer?
'didnt get cute for the video, this is why i look like this' *looking gorgeous*
Super cute!
Thank you! 😊
Base coat was meant to protect natural nails from staining
