    Hi Loepsie, sorry for the long comment but I'm a nail tech and want to give advice on Gel polish for you or anyone who sees this. Nails should be first cleaned, shaped then lightly buffed with a primer applied prior to polish. Builder gel (Biab) is one of the trickier products to apply due to the thickness of the polish. It should be applied in two layers, the first a thin layer (sometimes referred to as a slip coat) this should be cured under a lamp for the recommended time then a second layer should be applied first as a bead of gel at the top of the nail near but not touching the cuticle (now this is the tricky part) guide the product using your bush as close to but not touching the cuticle then down the middle towards the free edge (end of your nail) then down either side to the free edge. Flip your hand upside down (so your palm is facing the ceiling) for a couple of seconds then back over again and cure this layer under the lamp, this allows the gel to level in a curved shape giving structure to the nail. Most nails techs will do this step one nail at a time to prevent gel seeping into the cuticle and side walls of the nail as direct contact of gel on skin can cause people to develop an allergy to all gel. Top coat is then applied and cuticle oil is usually added as a last step. There are lots of possible reasons that your gel manicure didn't last the two weeks is should the most common reason for this is user error but it could be the builder gel itself, I've never used this brand myself so I could say whether this is the case here or not. There are lots of amazing nail content creators here on RUclips who having amazing and helpful videos on applying builder gel and tips for lasting nails. Again sorry for the long comment. Thank you for another amazing video and some great hairstyle ideas.

    I have the same issue about removing cuticles! My way to deal with it is to use nail oil on them every night (if I can) and then just gently push them back. They will be a lot less visible and the skin remains nice and “fresh” looking so they just disappear visually. It’s a bit annoying having another small thing to do daily but I recommend giving it a try if you can squeeze it in!

    Hey Loepsie. I've learned tons about nails watching a channel here on RUclips called The salon life - please have a look! She is a professional and shows her work on her own nails and clients while giving you all the tips you need. Cuticle is just the dry skin on the nail plate - you can scrape it off with a wooden stick or metal tool, using a cuticle remover will make it easier. It's such an easy process but I think a lot of people think that cuticle is the seal/fold at the base of your nail, that is important living skin and should be just gently pushed back, never removed. She has got tons of videos about nail shaping too. Another great channel is Bliss kiss - a lot of content about general nail care/polishing techniques.

    A lot of young moms go for a chin length bob hairstyle. I myself went for a wash and go pixie hairstyle. But chin length is perfect for baby not being so able to pull the hair. My hair is still so heavy at 67 that I must wear it short, to prevent migraines. And it looks best short so plus for me, up do styles just slide out no matter how many pins used and make my head hurt.

    When I was a baby in the mid-60s, my mom always wore her hair in a French twist... once the 70s rolled around, it was no longer fashionable so she generally wore it long and loose - and I was old enough not to pull on it ;)
    Incredibly, I still have some pink plastic hair fasteners (with a separate bar) and decorated bobby pins that I used to use back in the late 70s as a teen - some things just last forever, it seems!

    Former nail tech here! Maybe give a nail curette a try? It looks like a little tiny melon baller 😅 it helps remove a lot of cuticle without having to use the cuticle nippers.
    Also using a buffer with a medium/coarse grit will help remove a little bit of cuticle. Make sure you buff/file the edges of the buffer before using it! If not, you can cut yourself! Same goes with new nail files. Hope this helps! 😊

    I'm definetely not a nail expert, but I also do my gel nails at home and my best tip as someone who doesn't touch their cuticles either is to not go all the way with the nail gel, leave a tiny line between your nail and skin (that will show anyways as your nail grows) so it doesn't peel off

  • @rockpaperskizzers
    @rockpaperskizzers 2 месяца назад +3

    If you want neater cuticles without doing a whole removal process here are some tips:
    1) After you shower, you can use your towel to gently push back and rub around the cuticle. Your cuticles are most pliable when they're wet so this will help to exfoliate any dead skin and keep the cuticle from sticking to your nail plate.
    2) CUTICLE OIL! You don't need a lot, just one drop per hand. Rub it in and around your cuticles at least 2 times a day (or as often as you can). Keeping the skin adequately moisturized will help prevent hangnails and makes a huge difference in keeping your cuticles looking neat and tidy. On that note...
    3) Lotion. We often underestimate how often wash our hands through the day: while cooking, cleaning, gardening, etc. and all that washing dries your skin out. Keep a bottle of lotion near the sink and try to use it whenever you wash your hands.
    4) If you do want to try a chemical exfoliant, my favorite is the Blue Cross Cuticle remover. I find it to be very gentle and moisturizing and it works amazingly well. It's a thin liquid so you just apply a few drops, let it soak in for 30 sec, gently push back your cuticles, and then wash your hands. Simple.
    I have been doing my own gel nails for years now and have found that a little cuticle care makes a huge difference. You don't have to be perfect with it, but even a little effort day to day will have an effect. Hope these tips help! Good luck ❤💅❤

    I feel the decision anxiety over bangs/growing out further. I'm currently facing the same dilemma.
    As for your milkmaid braids, If you don't like the full part on the classic milkmaid braids, you could Dutch braid, cross the braids in back, and pin them up alongside your Dutch braided section. Even if it doesn't reach all the way up, the weight and pressure of the pinned up sections will be more evenly distributed that way. (Ar least that works for me).

    The best prep for gel nails is to wipe the nails with pure alcohol first. It stops them peeling. For normal nail varnish use pure acetone to wipe the nails,then straight on with the varnish without touching anything, including your hair.

  • @melissaandreag
    @melissaandreag 2 месяца назад

    When you use normal nail polish, do you use a base coat and top coat, as well as two coats of the polish itself (letting each coat dry before applying the next coat)? When I do that, I find it lasts me over a week. I also don’t usually remove my cuticles, but I will push them back and clean them up a little bit. Making sure you cover your entire nail with the polish, base and top coat, edges included, is key to that. I also can’t paint my nails right before bed or else they’ll get messed up.
    For the builder gel, my nail stylist always applies several coats, definitely apply more than two. At least five layers. She also applied some sort of base and top coat too, which always helps.

    The best tip for cuticles (because cutting and chemicals freak me out too) is Kerasal. I buy it on Amazon so I don’t think it’s hard to find. It works a treat on my feet, and the tiniest bit on your nails before bed helps moisturize and remove the cuticle that’s stuck to the nail plate. That way my cuticle never gets to the point where it needs to be cut.

    Oh yes, nail prep is very important to get any manicure to last. Make sure to buff your nails to take away some of the shine and wipe them down with alcohol. This will get rid of any oils or dust on the nails and give the gel something to grip to.

    Cuticle cutting isn't done here. It's not necessary, just pushing them and keeping your hands relatively moisturised is more than enough. RE the builder gel. Are you using a dehydrator and nail prep? Isopropyl alcohol is good and hopefully your kit came with a primer. And make sure you aren't getting any gel more than a mm from your skin. Thats what causes the peeling

    Hate to be a party pooper, but I'd be concerned about the potential toxicity of these nail polishes to your baby, especially since as you say they don't last, which means that little bits come off easily. I've seen that there were studies on the toxicity of UV lamps for gel nails already (sorry if I'm mixing up the terminology here, I've never had nails done this way), I guess the polish itself is not without concerns. Anyway; thanks for the tips on hairstyles! My hair is too long for stuff like the classic French twist, but I think I'm going to use it as a base for buns when I want to elevate my look, now that I know how to do it 😄
