Quick tip to soak your nails. Pour acetone in a ziploc with the paper towel and dip it In a bowl with very warm water. The acetone will get warm and gel will be off like in 5 min.
OR just place a stnading upright acetone bottle in hot water half way up the bottle until bottle is warm!
Thank you. That actually makes sense. I will try it. : )
Must try that cause I hate waiting forever 🤪
I’ve been doing my own nails for about 4 years now. I used to go to the salon every 2 weeks before that and I could kick myself for all that wasted money. I’ve grown a large collection of gel polished and different techniques like dip powder, structure gel, gel polish, acrylic etc... so much fun to play with stuff and try new thing! 😊 once I started using YL I felt guilty about using so many chemicals but honestly it brings me joy so I try to just accept it.
Melissa Medina there is middle ground!! It’s okay to not be 100% natural/organic with every little thing. Especially when it’s hard to find products that work well. I have heard 100% Pure has clean nail polish (their other products are very clean as far as ingredients go) and Lights Lacquer nail polish (by RUclipsr KathleenLights) is 7-free made in the USA. If you are willing to try some new brands I think those would be worth checking out. I have not used either of them yet on my own as I don’t really paint my nails much. I think it’d be worth a shot though! Your mental well being is just as important to your health as trying to stay away from chemicals/unhealthy things. If painting your nails brings you joy, stick with it 😊
Where do you get your gel nail polishes?
Hello :) I have a question. Should you let your nails "rest" after a certain amount of time doing your own gel nails ?
@@EvaaBanevaa wow I’m sorry i never replied to this. I never saw a notification til someone just commented. I buy my gel polishes at my local nail supply store. Some do require a cosmetology license but some don’t
@@dt564 I think it’s personal preference. I don’t think nails NEED to rest or breathe but just my opinion☺️
I’ve been doing my own nails for 3 years now, love it!! My first time it took me 1 hour after 6 months it took me only 30 minutes 😊 First I started with Gelish now I’m using Ezflow trugel, great brand and very easy to apply I have a few different brand gel polishes.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who saw you do your nails before and thought, "I hope she shows us how she does them"! I really do love everything about your channel, thanks for sharing this with us!
Allie, I bought this same system, because of you! I love the results!!! Can’t believe I never tried this before... I thought they would be outrageously expensive, but no... well worth the price! Thanks, so much for sharing ! 💅💗💕
How long did the polish last on your nails without looking chipped etc? Xxx
I bought an entire kit, and haven’t opened it. I finally know how to use it. THANK YOU! 💅🏽
A professional tip: you don’t need to put paper towel in the acetone. The paper towel will soak up more acetone and you will end up using more. Make sure you are using 100% acetone, and the alcohol make sure it’s 90% or more. Anything less contains water which will cause lifting.
Yeah, the paper towel is just wasting acetone.
Quick tip I just learned when I started doing my nails.. buff of the shine from your nails to make the manicure last even longer
Yes most do that I noticed as well as wipe each nail with alcohol after top coat cur to completely dry it
I do my own nails at home too. Such a time and money saver
You have such pretty eyes😘
Anyways on a less creepy note, Sally hensen 60 second top coat works wonders drys your whole Mani in 1 min or less, and lasts forever. Just a quick tip😁
layshas2005 lol you’re so sweet, thank you! 💕
This is so pretty!!! I wish I could do this! But I’m one of those people that when I paint my own nails... it looks like a 2 year old did it! No matter how long I take or how precise I am.. somehow I get it EVERYWHERE 😂 my 8 year old daughters have painted my nails and it looked better lol
But I loved watching you do it!!! Thanks, Allie!
Try using liquid latex around your cuticles and get the poppy mani tool by Olive and June. :)
@AshLee ~ Hey! 👋🏻 As with anything in life, “practice makes progress”! Don’t give up! Just take your time, don’t have high expectations, and keep trying! 👍🏻 Someone mentioned trying liquid latex around your nails while painting them. Great advice!👏🏻 Also, get a tiny clean up brush that you can dip in pure acetone for the mistakes you make when painting your nails to give it that “clean, fresh from the salon look”. Also, give your nails some good TLC with oiling your them- multiple times a day. If you do this, you will be amazed! That’s something that is essential to anyone’s nails/manicure. Just do that step after your manicure is fully completed. Every girl deserves to feel great about her nails no matter what~ if your a pro, a beginner; no matter your length, or shape! You got this, girl!😘💪🏻💕
@@NicoleSmith-uq5gj wonderful suggestions, thank you.
I bought the same uv lamp and polish after you shared it on your Instagram stories! I love it! I hadn’t been able to go to the salon because it’s so expensive but now I do them all the time! Thanks Allie! ❤️❤️❤️
Does it cure very well your gel polish?
Allie, the last time I saw you was the first time. I had mentioned to you , not to cut your cuticles, I hope you remember. You messaged back to me how your cuticles had become overgrown and tough. I tried to get back to you but had no space to enter my comment. Today I found you, Yeah ! I'd like you to stop cutting those cuties and start massaging them with oil. Keep working with them gently as often as you can. When you use your cuticle pusher, be very gentle. So many peeps use their hands and fingers as tools. Thats a no no. Just be kind and gentle with yourself. I'll tune in now that I know you and I'll try to help when I can. I was a Cosmetologist when I was young and things have changed alot. So you can teach me and I can teach you. Best wishes.
who are you lol
wtf lol
This was such a sweet comment :) I appreciated the advice. Thanks Jacquelyn!
Wow I will take this advice for myself
I watched your other videos when u has gotten manicures that u weren’t happy with. I was in the same situation as u and it’s very frustrating to say the least. Plus, time and money u spend and you’re still not 100% satisfied. I started doing my own pedicures and I haven’t done anything with my fingernails. This is so perfect!! Thank u so much for this little tutorial and linking everything for us.
I just bought one today at Amazon it’s coming on 23 April. I’m excited but I’m also a little nervous to do it myself. Stay safe!
Priscilla Jane Fumero I just bought a bunch of stuff online at amazon for gel manicure 💅🏼 including a UV light, and my stuff came with a dirty used Kleenex inside my box. I recommend opening with gloves 🧤 and outside to be safe. I’m not joking. I had to spend 45 minutes disinfecting the entire area I was in and myself. It was disgusting. The seller’s name was like S-something. People are just mean.
dothan gal I am so sorry to hear that.
I don't use gel I just use regular nail polish with a good top and base coat,it lasts a week,not sure if I would use gel as I like to change my nail polish once a week
Also please use a cuticle/nail cream to stop your nails from getting damaged and brittle 😊
Loved this video 😀
xxxxx
Thanks so much for the video! I’m a momma of twin infants and can’t get to the salon. I need something that’s gonna dry fast and stay awhile. This is perfect and inexpensive! I can’t wait to get it!!
OMGosh kudos to you for keeping up with your nails!!
I just love you! Your videos are not only motivating but so relaxing and easy to watch. This one is such a fun bonus. Thank you for your content!
Omg I love this tutorial! I HAVE to try this! You probably have saved so much money already from doing this yourself! They look amazing 💓💓
Great video. Just going to start doing my own gels .In all other videos they wipe nails with alcohol to remove sticky layer at the end( after top coat) - then they are completely dry with no tackiness .Hope this helps 💄👄💄👄💄💜💜💜
Love this video I love that colour definitely gonna buy :)
The hard is doing the other hand using your non-dominant hand! Your video is great! Thanks for sharing.
I use leminimacaron for my gel manis, the polish is all in one and you only need to coats plus the lamp is adorable!
Same I went to a salon and they actually made me bleed, I was so mad I could not express my self..... I ended up feeling very disappointed. No apologies nothing....And no I did not tip thats how mad I was inside.
They rushed during the whole nails appointment
Now I do my wine nails it has been the best thing!!!
I had the same experience when she cut my cuticles.
Love you! You are one of the prettiest women on this earth! Oh that color is just absolutely gorgeous! I just subscribed to your channel I love supporting my youtube hard working people! Hello from Massachusetts and can't wait to see more videos like this 😍😍😍
I have natural nails and have never used gel nail polish. What’s the difference between the regular polish and the gel? Also, the uv is just a fast drying tool for mani?
I’ve been doing my own nails for 4 years now. Since than, I ditched the cuticle trimmer after transitioning from the cuticle cutter. Just been using Sally Hanson’s cuticle remover. And moisturizer everyday
Marcelle Mazzocato the uv quick dries the nails, but also hardens the gel polish, making it last longer! 💅
Please start filing your nails in one direction only. Filing back and forth is just going to create micro tears and really damage your nails over time. I just want your nails to stay healthy. 😀 WOW she makes painting the nails look so easy! No matter how careful I am, I always get polish on my skin. smh I’m waiting for liquid latex to arrive in the mail to use. I like to put Vaseline all over my cuticles before soaking my nails in acetone. It really helps protect my sensitive skin. Then I wash my hands and apply alcohol to prep. Make sure to always apply cuticle oil at the end of your manicure.
Love that colour, your nails look so pretty ❤️
Came across this video with a RUclips search for nails that last, and with you mention Elle, made me subscribe cause I know that your content will definitely fit my RUclips viewing profile. Thanks, loved the tips
I do the same thing! Also bought the kit on amazon. I need to make my own video about it!
I’m trying to relax watching this and all the dogs in my neighborhood don’t stop barking for nothing😒😂😂
I have the same issue. Bark bark bark alllll day!
Will this still work if you don’t have a base coat? I have the color and top coat
That red is so pretty!
I am getting me a gel kit I think I'm going to love it as well
How about the removal step? How long does it take? Does it damage the natural nail?
omg im new to this thanks for this easy to grasp video!!!! : )
Thanks for sharing! Painting my nails gel now yay
Thanks so much. They look great! Have you ever tried Nail Addict? They have a natural remover so you don't get the drying effect of acetone. TFS 🙂
You can put your fingers into a bowl filled with hot water before you remove cuticles. Then you can cut them easily and smooth.
Yeah that's what I like to do
I really love your videos! What kind of camera do you use?
oh my, you are the hello fresh girl
I haven’t used my uv light In a couple years and though all my polishes would be old and clumpy surprisingly they seem to be intact! In school we were told an important step was to use the anti- fungal stuff (it’s in a polish form, smells funny) but I can’t remember the name!!!!!
I never go to a salon, but this seems like something I would want to try... how long does the gel nails last when you do it like this? Does it chip like normal uncured gel nail polish? Or do you simply redo it because of the nail growth?
Brigitte Brussow, I just bought this system because of Allie... They lasted for a good two weeks and more... I did have a couple of chips at the end, but for the most part they looked good and I redid them just because of the nail growth!
Thank you! I am so tired of spending $100 with tip every three weeks for a gel mani-pedi. I think I can do this!
If im doin alots of chores, and Im allergy to gloves, can it still last for 3 weeks? Because i really dont want to wear glove doing my chores.
Oh wow 3 weeks. Mine lasts 12 hours. I need to go buy base coat, top coat and that magic lamp
Luna LG magic lamp lol!!!! That’s the darned cutest thing I’ve heard all week!!! 💅🏼🤳
Thanks for sharing. I am going to look check it out on amazon. Any chance you could share the eye shadow colors you used for your eyes in this video. I love the look.
I'm so going to purchase all of these tools!!
how long does it usually last for?
Let this! I hate having to go every two weeks!
Alicia Rogers I hated it too. And it always took sooooo long
With how often I do dishes I’m constantly retouching my nail polish. I am curious as to if the constant use of UV light will speed up aging on hands? That’s the only thing keeping me from trying this!
Zia Cisneros you can get special gloves to help protect your hands. The fingers are cut out
Simply Allie awesome!! Thank you!
Most gel polishes can be cured with an led light so no uv exposure
You get more exposure with your hands on the steering wheel
Hi Allison! I’m looking to purchase the same UV lamp that you have but I’m not sure if I should buy the 54W or the 80W lamp. What would you recommend?
I Loved that color 🙋🏻♀️
Verónica M isn’t it pretty? 😍
I can show you a one step that is amazing with less time
How long do they last??
I definitely want to try this at home!
My nail place of 8 years closed and 3 years later I STILL have ugly stubs that will not grow!! Looking forward to this video!
I work for Avon and we do a growth nail serum that I use
How long did you soak them
What is the nail kit called that you got from amazon... and what polishes did you use cause that color was gorgeous... your nails look so pretty💅... thanks for sharing... can't wait for the next video...👍👍👍👍👍
Julia Marin she has it in her Amazon store link below the video. 😊
Can you link thr cuticle pusher you have?
cool thanks
What brand of polish?
How hard is it to remove/how do you remove the polish?
Katie Greenwood I showed how in the beginning of the video. Soak in acetone until it starts to dissolve. It usually peels off
I’m really sloppy when painting what happens if you get gel polish on your skin?
Do you ever use a cuticle remover gel or cream first before you scrape back your extra cuticle?
Sydney Holmes nope, I don’t. 💕
Simply Allie sooo simple! I swear every time I go to the nail salon I have to pay 10 extra dollars just for them to trim mine🤦🏻♀️
Sydney Holmes I do, and like the results! I also bought Allie’s system and wow... loved it... so worth the $! 💅💗💕
can you use any gel polish with the light you got?
Yes you can 🥰
For cutícula is better olive oil, mosqueta etc with oil the nails are nutridas because if you use instrument the cutícula will be hard .
Great video thanks for all the tips! I want to purchase the same lamp, but do you know if I can use it with any brand of Gel polish? Any brands you recommend additional to what you used here?
Does the uv light damage skin or jewelry?
I've been doing my own acrylics at home for many yrs to avoid long waits in the shop. I'm wondering if this would be faster than doing acrylic at home. Also will it keep my nails hard? I have very thin, weak nails naturally. Thank u. Great job
UV light can damage the skin, although many salons don't admit it. However, there is protetctive hand gloves made for your hands going under the lamps.
This gel will keep your nails hard, it will make the apperace of thicker nails due to the gel coatings.
For your weak and thin nails I reccomend eating more animal proteins like eggs, salmon, chicken and taking a hair, skin, nail supplement. It will help your hands become thicker and stronger.
Also do u have to remove it all after 3 weeks or can u file down existing gel & reapply more gel on top?
Can I use a diff uv lamp?
Wow that’s great
cannot do it without UV lamp?
How long does it take you to soak your polish off?
Do you use Gel specific base and top coat polishes? Or just regular base and top coat polish?
She’s using a gel base & top. She cured it in the lamp. :)
Does the light dry the nails. I have an awe full time with regular polish drying.
Yes the lamp cures the polish (dries) it 😊
love it
I never was good at polishing my own nails. Can anyone tell me if gel is easier to use?
Girlfmva no it’s not actually, so you should learn to do it properly with a normal nail polish first😊
Kateryna Golodna Lol, thanks! I think I will practice a little bit more. 🙂
Love to and ready to try it 😊
You should look for foils with the pad. Then you put just the pad on your nail. You aren’t wasting as much acetone plus you won’t dry out so much of your hands.
I just use a cotton ball and a piece of regular old kitchen aluminum foil. Works perfectly and it's cheap and easy.
Wow I like it😍😍😍
Is it hard to remove the polish you accidentally get on your cuticles? Would your clean them up before curing them or after? Thank you!
Genie definitely clean before curing. You can’t really once it’s cured
@@simply-allieThank you for the tip! I'd love to try gel polishes, but I honestly have sooooooo many regular polishes. I also get bored after wearing the same color for more than the one week that mine usually lasts. Maybe I'll branch Ito these for Christmas. 😉
How long does the process typically take you?
I have the same lamp, prep my nails and use the thinnest layer of gel polish yet my nails don't dry they're always tacky, even after the base coat! I'm currently sat with base coat on from last night as I'm worried the polish won't dry and will smudge 😩😔
After you’ve prepped your nails, then put base coat on, cure and you will have a tacky layer so your gel colour will stick, a couple of coats, obviously curing in between each coat then top coat and you will have a tacky layer which should be wiped with isopropyl, perhaps you are not wiping off the tacky layer that is why your nails feel wet, hope this helps
You have to remove the tacky layer after you do the topcoat. You just use 90% isopropyl alcohol on a paper towel or tissue and wipe it off and your nails will be shiny and hard underneath. I was sure it would all smudge the first time I did it, but it was like magic.
✨Super pretty! ✨...How long does the soaking take?
I don’t see the links to the stuff she used??
I used your link. I hope you get a kickback from it 💕
Are the nails dry after curing? (never had gel nails)
yes! no dry time
I always heard your not supposed to file back and forth, you should go one way when filing.
What do you wipe off with after top coat ?
You can use rubbing alcohol 🥰
I love you heart if you love her to or anything of her💗😌
I just want to point out when filing your nails only go in One Direction don't go back and forth also instead of back and forth
I was going to post the same thing. When she started filing, I actually yelled out NO, STOP!😅
I am in makeup school and we learn nails and that was a big thing.
love your chair!! where did you buy it at?
Where is your sweater from? ❤️
Mines never last long a week and half the most . No matter what base I use or anything so I have to give my nails breaks cause they do damage nails
Buff the shine off ur nails before asetone and base coat
Mine last a full week lol they start to look really bad after
Love the color 🥰 Did you have to wipe the tacky layer off after you cured the top coat?
OMG! What is that music track when you are applying nail polish at 7:00? That's so soothing...
is it completely dry right after?
Yes
Lindsey Alexis yep! That’s why I love it. I do not have the time or patience to let regular polish dry
