Thank you so much for this video! Had a terrible experience with gel nails before but received this exact kit for my birthday and I can't believe how easy it was! Thanks for your clear instructions and your expert knowledge, so refreshing to watch a technician who thoroughly understands what they're doing and how to explain it. Will watch your removal video next! - Lizzie
Just started doing my own nails again after a few years off, I am a 78-year-old young lady and your video is amazing, it has helped me so much, Thank you.
Best tutorial I’ve watched! Thank you so much! Can’t wait for the nail prep tutorial (I’m going to search for it now in case it’s already up!) I’m new to doing gel nails at home. I used to do acrylics at home for 20+ yrs then my daughter got me started on having them done in the salon for a couple years & it’s just to expensive! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
The first time I had my nails done I was 60, I'm still 60 and have made a few mistakes, so I took the initiative, and looked around on You Tube for some help, I've seen some of the rubbish, well I won't go there, anyway, I have seen your videos, and I think they are great, you go through the training step by step and its so easy to follow what you do, I only checked out 3 other videos before yours, I'm sure there are a lot of good ones, but your training is best for me.. Thanks
just followed this with the mylee starter kit i got for xmas and im in loveee! so much cheaper than going to the nail bar but looks just as good. my nails are damaged from acrylics and i think the gel will definitely help protect them as i grow out the damage. thank you soo much!
I have decided to start my own little business and still new to all this...have used polygel before know it's different..now will practise gel polish and then will start doing clients
Someone recommended the Mylee kit to me a while ago but I, decided to be cheap and buy an unbranded version for about half the price from amazon. The cheap one was absolutely terrible so I immediately returned it and ordered to Mylee one! 😂 Can't wait for it to arrive, thanks for the tutorial!
I ordered the Mylee kit today! I bought gel from shein and it peels off straight after so I treated myself to this! I can't wait I want my nails to grow more.
you are the cutest person ever I searched all over youtube and this was the only helpful video because I know nothing about gel and want to order the tools....to start doing my own nails a new subscriber😘
Thank you so much for this video, it was so easy to follow. One of my sons bought the Mylee kit for me for Christmas and after watching your video, I finally had the courage to have a go. I’ve smudged in a few places but I’ll get better with practice 😁 I’m sorry I don’t know how to attach a picture but they turned out better than I was expecting 🤪
Just bought this kit for lockdown 3.0, very excited to try it! I’ve loved having my nails done but obviously won’t be getting them done by my tech for a while and I fancied a bash at it myself! I’ll be looking to you for tips!
Melia, thank you so much for this tutorial so well explained in detail. I am a good nail polish at home girl. I was always afraid of gel polish because of the UV lamp. But I finally decided to by a couple of gel nail polishes and also bought a terribly cheap UV/ LED lamp.😔 The first mani took place last night and it was a disaster. Some nails came out all creased (wrinkled), and others started to lift up from the nail’s borders. I went to bed a bit heart broken because these products are expensive and I hoped for a fine mani that lasts a bit longer than regular nail polish manis. Listening to you has been an eye opening experience because I made all the mistakes u are giving advise to avoid. I’ve gathered courage with your tutorial and am going out to get me a better UV / LED lamp to cure my nails after the fact and help my gel mani become better. I will let u know how it goes and hopefully it will be awesome. I love your tutorial!🥰 I will look for other videos I posted on regards to lamps that u have tried and recommend. Thanks Melia!😊🤗
I've just purchased the mylee gel nail starter kit ,I am very happy with it and your video is very informative thank you . I flooded the sides with top coat the first few times I used it and it peeled off lol
Eeeek! Yes that will happen - really do try to leave a gap as you practice because it can cause burns and contact allergies too so we want to avoid that 🤗
Great video! I’ve recently brought this kit but my nails weren’t lasting longer than a few days. You’ve taught me some really easy things I was doing wrong.
Super helpful. I ordered my Mylee kit and it arrives this Friday. I will be watching this video again to gain confidence doing my own nail. AAAARGH!! 😂👍🏽🥰
Have you done a video on how to prep your nails this is what I'm thinking i need to watch. The actual painting video was fab & figure I got that in my head just need to practice but it's the prep im probably not so clued up on 😊
It’s all in your application and prep. Mine last up to 5 weeks 💕 if things are lifting it’s most likely your prep or application rather than the polish lovely xax
Thank you so much for this video. It’s packed full of such great tips and advice. I’ve ordered my Mylee kit and can’t wait to start doing my own gel nails 😊
Thankyou for this video Amelia its been really helpful. I've been toying with the idea of getting this kit for a while and finally bitten the bullet. All your videos I've watched have been informative and clear and you are so lovely and easy to watch xxx
Thank you so much for this brilliant video! I did my girlfriends nails for the second time after watching it and nailed it! Particularly the shaping by the cuticle and sealing on the very ends. I’m not sure what I did wrong but the finish wasn’t as shiny as my first go. Any ideas what may have caused that? Thanks again, Ben
Wanting to learn how to do gel nails at home as I loved when I could get them before I couldn't with the job I'm in but I just miss the strength they gave my natural nails and how cute they looked! Definitely gonna give it a go
Hi there, very informative video! So, I’m a true beginner, and wondering if you are painting one nail, and then curing it? Or painting all five nails and then curing them, and then doing a second coat and then curing them all again? Thanks!
Great video, I've just received my Mylee kit and looking forward to trying it out, I don't know if you realise but the removable plate has a protective film on which has to be removed before use, both sides are shiny, I noticed in this video you have kept it on.
Can you please put the other videos you mentioned on the description box or create a playlist for nails? I tried looking for the videos but couldn’t find them.
I am new to this, my kit hasn't even arrived yet. Your video is very clear, but how would I wipe off the end of my finger or edge if the other hand was already painted? Thanks!
This is great, thank you. However, I didn't get it something. I'm curing with the lamp after base coat but it wasn't said if I'm also curing if after every layer of gel ? Before and after top coat? Or is it just after base coat and the just the second time at the end after top coat? Do I put top coat on cured nails or on a soft ones?
You must cure every single layer - you can't put wet gel over wet gel. As demonstrated in the video its base, cure, colour, cure, colour, cure, top cure. Your kit should also have come with instructions for you to follow as well x
Hey! Thank you for this video. I have just purchased this kit. I have been scared away by the recent article on the news about at home gel kits causing reactions and nail damage. Do you stand by this brand and has it ever caused you any reaction?
Thanks for this video its really helpful! Ive put cuticle oil on them before doing my nails no wonder they started peeling quickly what a wolly head 🙈🙈 i never knew what capped the nails ment i thought it ment just trim them. Thanks for educating me a bit haha x
Hi Amelia, your nails look amazing! I have some questions about this kit. Do you need to use the nail buffer as a first step? Were your nails ruined when you removed the gel? How many wattage is the lamp? Thank you very much x
Prepping the nail properly is key for a long lasting manicure but just be careful not to scratch or damage the natural nail - light touch. And no, when applied and removed properly gel doesn’t damage your nails at all 💕xax
Hello, and thank you so much for your video. I was wondering if you could tell me why it is that when I use the Myleene nail polish wipes at the end, my nails go dull and not so shiny
Thank you for the video it really helped me, only the 2nd attempt and my nails are as short as yours are in that video, they turned out ok...not the best but practice makes perfect 😀
Great video. I bought the builder gel as the shellac was lifting after a day or two. What is the process for using this? Does it replace the base and top coat? x
Hi love, did you mean you bought the mylee builder gel to use with shellac polish? Or are you using Mylee gel polish? Because shellac is slightly different to gel polish and it's always wise to stay with the same brand instead of mixing products x
The correct amount of time for your particular brand of polish to cure - it should say on the bottle/box/website of the brand how long it needs. Also make sure to check that it is compatible with your lamp (LED/UV) etc 🤗xax
Hey! I’ve just come across your video after watching a gazillion others….the usa vids just confused me further so I was delighted to find a U.K. vid 😂 Basically I’m new to gel nails. And today I purchase a full mylee starter kit! Your video was really easy for me to follow. I’m just need a little advice on how to do chrome nails, I’ve searched your account as far back as I could go and didn’t come across any to do with chrome powder nails… can you help pls? (When I watched usa vids I notice they say to wipe your nails with something before buffing the chrome on but I can’t gif the life of me understand what to use within the mylee kit to wipe with! Another thing I’m confused about is ‘builder gel’ at which point do I put this on and when do I apply chrome?? X
It’s been a while since I did chrome but I think you need to do your nails and apply the top coat. Cure and wipe away the sticky layer (with your prep wipe solution) then rub in the chrome and do another full top coat. Builder gel is totally different and requires higher skill and a different technique to properly apply 🩷
Hi! This was so helpful as I’m looking at buying the Mylee products. I have polymorphous (an allergy to UV) so was so happy when I found their LED lamp 😊 would you suggest buying their nail polishes or can you use others with the LED lamp?
Just came across this video after buying the mylee kit! It was sooo helpful as a complete beginner I didn’t know where to start! I have one question, is there a limit on how long you should cure under the lamp for? Just because after 30 secs mine still felt a little bit tacky ! Thankyou!
I want to start doing gel nails as a nail tech, I’ve been looking at so many gel brands etc. do you recommend these for more “professional” use or are they ok for someone just starting out?
There’s lots of videos about how to use builder gel out there lovely - not sure I could offer anything more than those really unless you meant mylee specific? Although I think I’ve seen a couple someone’s done already that were fab! 😊xax
Hey, I used your video and found it super helpful. I just had one question, my nails came out looking rather dull and not shiny. Do you know why this may be x
Hi, help please… I prep my nails well using dehydrator and primer and apply like you did but still found some lifting. Polish coming away from the natural nail. And I’m wondering why still?😔
Amazing video! 😊 Can you use any LED gel polish with the mylee base coat and top coat? I'm new to get polish and wasn't sure if I would be able to use halo gel polishes with this kit
What colour did you use? Been trying to find it but don’t think you mentioned it. Just ordered the kit and got like £100 of polishes so far 🙈 but love that purple!
Hi Sarah, I just watched my video back (I can't remember the colour it was quiiiite a while ago haha!) and at 1:36 I mention that it's the colour ladylike so you were right!! It's such a lovely colour xax
Fantastic, thorough video! How long do you get out of the gel? I’m planning on ordering the £90 starter kit when I get paid on Friday! Usually I go to a nail tech every month for calgel overlays which is thicker, but thanks to Miss Covid I’m not able to just now ☹️! As someone who barely has any cuticles, am I best to still try and push them down every time I re-do my nails? I was thinking of the cuticle remover also. 😊
I get up to 4 weeks out of mine but everyone is different and it depends on application. Just need to make sure you're not painting over cuticles lovely so push them back if needed xax
Morning Xameliax!!! First I would like to say that I love your channel!!! I am new at shellac. I got 1 time and loved cause my nails doesn’t used to last more than 2 days with normal nail polish. So, my husband gave me a surprise: the new mylle shellac kit! I love it and I used once! It came with the spring nail polishes color box. Although I loved the colors, sometimes I know I will miss my tradicional nail polish that I have at home. Do you think it’s possible to use traditional nail polish at shellac? Still using the shellac base and top coat?
Hey Natalia, so glad you’re part of team xax! 😊💕🥰 have you got mylee gel polished or CND shellac? Shellac is a brand name of a hybrid gel polish by CND - you need to be trained to use it and it’s not a brand I use so I’m not sure if that’s what you have. But if you have mylee polish, yes you can use a base coat, put regular polish in the middle and finish with a gel top coat - but the products always work best when they’re used with their direct counterparts - so gel polish with gel polish 😊xax
xameliax - UK Vlogger & Content Creator i do have the myllee gel polished! I am very used to do my own nails at home but not shellac. My first experience, i can say wasn’t that bad and my nails are beautiful!!! I hope to be an expert in the future! Continue training! Thank you soo much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I’m not sure what you mean my love? It’s always best to stick with the same lamp for your polish to ensure proper curing as per the manufactures instructions xax
You're a born teacher Amelia. Very clear tutorial.
You’re always so nice to me, honestly, thank you 😊💕xax
Please do a video on prepping your nails, I feel like this is something I’m not the best at and my manicures never seem to last as long!
It’s on the list 😊xax

The tip on not having the bottle near the lamp is SO helpful, I never would have even thought of that! 😂 Super helpful video, thank you!
Complete newbie to this. You explain things so well, short and sweet. Love your positivity and personality. Thank you for all of this :)
Ah I’m so glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely comment Elle 🥰 xax

Aw that’s great news! So glad I could help 😊 I also have a troubleshooting video on my channel which may help even further 💕xax
This was very helpful, thank youuu! I did glittery grey nails on my left hand, and crimson on my right - they look very okay!!
Oh lovely! 🤗

Thank you for doing this video!🙌🏼 Just wanted to ask you how long the mylee polishes last or if they start to lift quite quickly?
It’s all in your application and prep. Mine last up to 5 weeks 💕 if things are lifting it’s most likely your prep or application rather than the polish lovely xax
Thank you so much for this video. It’s packed full of such great tips and advice. I’ve ordered my Mylee kit and can’t wait to start doing my own gel nails 😊
Oh this is awesome! You're so very welcome - hope you enjoy! xax
I find the mylee builder gel really good too if your nails are on the softer side! Thanks for another great video 😊
It’s a very easy product to use that’s for sure xax
I rarely leave comments. But she’s lovely. Really enjoyed this video x
Aw Rachel, thank you! :) xax
Great video! What color is that? I love it!
Thankyou for this video Amelia its been really helpful. I've been toying with the idea of getting this kit for a while and finally bitten the bullet. All your videos I've watched have been informative and clear and you are so lovely and easy to watch xxx
Aw amy i'm so glad it was helpful :) xax
The whole prep would be great x
🤗
Thank you so much for this brilliant video! I did my girlfriends nails for the second time after watching it and nailed it! Particularly the shaping by the cuticle and sealing on the very ends. I’m not sure what I did wrong but the finish wasn’t as shiny as my first go. Any ideas what may have caused that? Thanks again, Ben
Hi Ben, Which top coat were you using? Did you make sure to fully seal the topcoat and then wipe away the tacky layer?x
I love my mylee kit! I often look to your Instagram pages for inspiration too! 😊💕
It’s so good isn’t it 💕😊xax
Thank you for sharing the timing when you cure the nails. That part is always left out in the tutorials. :)
You’re welcome ☺️ xax
Please can you do a biab demo? I'm having major lifting problems!
I’ll add it to my list - I’m a bit slow at the moment as I’m coming back off maternity leave. But I’m sure someone has already beat me to it haha x
Wanting to learn how to do gel nails at home as I loved when I could get them before I couldn't with the job I'm in but I just miss the strength they gave my natural nails and how cute they looked! Definitely gonna give it a go
This is great! So glad it was helpful 🥰xax
So many great tips! Thank you very much
You’re welcome ☺️
What do you use to take the sticky out? Does it come with the kit? Thank you i love your video
Yep, comes with the kit and I show it at the start. I also layout all the steps in the video - it's the last step :) xax
Hi there, very informative video! So, I’m a true beginner, and wondering if you are painting one nail, and then curing it? Or painting all five nails and then curing them, and then doing a second coat and then curing them all again? Thanks!
It’s totally up to you 😊 I tend to do one hand at once - so all five then once complete I do the other hand xax
Great video, I've just received my Mylee kit and looking forward to trying it out, I don't know if you realise but the removable plate has a protective film on which has to be removed before use, both sides are shiny, I noticed in this video you have kept it on.

Your energy is just glorious - immediately subscribed :) also super helpful video for a 'gel-at-home' newbie, thank you!
Ah this makes me happy thank you Lindsay xax
Hi Amelia! Loved the video! Just a bit of a random question here...Where did you got the tripod for your phone? Thank you!
I’ve got a video on how I film things from above with loads of links 😊 x
I will give it a go. Can't wait ❤
🤗🤗🤗
Can you please put the other videos you mentioned on the description box or create a playlist for nails? I tried looking for the videos but couldn’t find them.
They’ll all be in my tutorials playlist lovely 🥰 this video is quite old now so the others will be further back too 💕xax
I am new to this, my kit hasn't even arrived yet. Your video is very clear, but how would I wipe off the end of my finger or edge if the other hand was already painted? Thanks!
Personally I do one hand at a time - it’s a lot easier. Paint and finish one hand then swap x
Please do a video on prepping your nails xx
I’ve got an old one on my channels but I’ll film a new one 🥰
@@xameliaxRUclips Thank you, much appreciated xxx

This is great and so helpful but do I have to use the cuticle oil or is that just an option x
I would ALWAYS recommend cuticle oil of some kind. Even if you just use olive oil from your kitchen 😂 it’s important xax
This tutorial is amazing and very clear and thorough!!
Ah thank you so so much 😊💕xax
Hey! Thank you for this video. I have just purchased this kit. I have been scared away by the recent article on the news about at home gel kits causing reactions and nail damage. Do you stand by this brand and has it ever caused you any reaction?
I still use this brand but I am a trained nail tech so I know how to properly use them and avoid damage 💕

Hello, and thank you so much for your video. I was wondering if you could tell me why it is that when I use the Myleene nail polish wipes at the end, my nails go dull and not so shiny
Are they fully cured? Are you using the prep wipes not removal wipes? x
Thank you for the video it really helped me, only the 2nd attempt and my nails are as short as yours are in that video, they turned out ok...not the best but practice makes perfect 😀
Ah I’m so so glad ☺️☺️☺️xax
I love the colour of Lady Like! I was sad when I noticed it was out of stock on the Mylee website! x
Hopefully it will be back soon 😊💕 or maybe it’s on amazon!xax
xameliax - UK Vlogger & Content Creator Yeah hopefully! 😊
They sell it on Just My Look as well hope that helps 😊

Hey! I’ve just come across your video after watching a gazillion others….the usa vids just confused me further so I was delighted to find a U.K. vid 😂
Basically I’m new to gel nails. And today I purchase a full mylee starter kit!

Hi! This was so helpful as I’m looking at buying the Mylee products. I have polymorphous (an allergy to UV) so was so happy when I found their LED lamp 😊 would you suggest buying their nail polishes or can you use others with the LED lamp?
I’m so glad you found it helpful ☺️ it’s always best practice to use the polishes that are made for the lamp in question 💕xax
Just came across this video after buying the mylee kit! It was sooo helpful as a complete beginner I didn’t know where to start! I have one question, is there a limit on how long you should cure under the lamp for? Just because after 30 secs mine still felt a little bit tacky !
Thankyou!
Awww yay! So gel is always tacky until you add the top coat and wipe away the sticky layer (unless you're using a no wipe top coat) xax
What if I get some of the gel on my skin and it dries? Is it toxic to the skin when it dries? Thank you for this video!
Best to avoid the skin at all costs lovely, it can case burns and allergic reactions 💕
Thanks so much! That was really helpful Without being patronising :)
You’re welcome ☺️
Such a lovely video!
Ah i'm SO glad it's helpful :) xax
I would love to try this kit but I'm in the US! Any reccomendations?! Love the video!
Ah sorry Sarah! I'm not sure about what you have over there that might be similar - so sorry I can't be of more help! xax
I want to start doing gel nails as a nail tech, I’ve been looking at so many gel brands etc. do you recommend these for more “professional” use or are they ok for someone just starting out?
I would say Mylee aren’t the best for professional use but they’re fab for nails at home 😊 annoyingly they have loads of great colours haha 😆 xax
Do you need to use a primer if the kit comes with a base and top coat?
Primer is optional 🤗
Could you do a video on the builder gel as a nail base how to apply and remove
There’s lots of videos about how to use builder gel out there lovely - not sure I could offer anything more than those really unless you meant mylee specific? Although I think I’ve seen a couple someone’s done already that were fab! 😊xax
hi can u use tape cuticle protector or reusable ones ?
I've not used them personally xax
Really helped me thank you 💕you made it seem so easy x
You're more than welcome! :) practice makes perfect :) xax
Hey, I used your video and found it super helpful. I just had one question, my nails came out looking rather dull and not shiny. Do you know why this may be x
Oh fab 🥰 Which exact products are you using? 💕xax
@@xameliaxRUclips the exact same mylee set as you. I cured for 30 seconds. Im wondering if maybe I should have done it for 60 instead x
It's hard to say without seeing your process. Are you wiping away the tacky layer at the end x
This video is so helpful and interesting thankyou!! 😊
I’m so glad it helped!!!xax
This was great, so helpful👏👏thank you Amelia 💖
I’m SO glad 😊 thank you 💕xax
Hey, now that it's been 2 years would you still recommend this kit/LED lamp? x
There are so many lamps to choose from I feel lost haha
Yep! The only one I use xax
Hi , thanks for your video. Is pH Bond and Foundation the same thing?
Hi, I believe you're talking about products from Gelish? They're not a brand I use - I think they're made slightly differently xax
Yes I got a gelish kit 😁. Thank you for answering. I enjoyed your video . 🌻
What’s the difference between using a base coat and the 5 in 1 ?
The 5 in 1 is a builder gel lovely xax
Hi, help please… I prep my nails well using dehydrator and primer and apply like you did but still found some lifting. Polish coming away from the natural nail. And I’m wondering why still?😔
See my latest nail video troubleshooting the main problems 💕xax
Amazing video! 😊 Can you use any LED gel polish with the mylee base coat and top coat? I'm new to get polish and wasn't sure if I would be able to use halo gel polishes with this kit
It's best to stick to the top and base coat made for your polish for the best and safest results really :) xax
Hi, how long will I need to cure using the uv lamp not the led lamp?
Thanks
Hmmm I’m not sure as I don’t use UV but it will say on your lamp instructions as all lamps are different. Go by those 😊💕xax
Such a helpful video! Thank you so much!
You’re so welcome 🥰🥰🥰xax
Oh thank you! So useful! This was really helpful, thanks. Please can you do a nail prep video? I’m totally new to gel nails! Thanks! I’ve subbed.
So glad it was helpful Cheryl 🥰xax
Really helpful thx ❤
Do you cap for the top coats too?
I do 😊
Couldn't find the nail prep video or the cuticle one
They’re in the tutorials and how to’s playlist - the same playlist this video is in ☺️💕xax
Hi, do you give your nails a break in between gel manicures or do you do them back to back. Thank you.
Sometimes - sometimes I just do another set 🙂
@xameliaxRUclips how long does the gel polish last on your natural nails?
can you use rubbing alcohol or acetone to clean the nails?
Once they’re finally cured after the top coat? You could do. Just don’t soak them of course x
What colour did you use? Been trying to find it but don’t think you mentioned it. Just ordered the kit and got like £100 of polishes so far 🙈 but love that purple!
Think was ladylike the one I found? Not sure but looks closest to it
Hi Sarah, I just watched my video back (I can't remember the colour it was quiiiite a while ago haha!) and at 1:36 I mention that it's the colour ladylike so you were right!! It's such a lovely colour xax
Thankyou so much for such a thorough video. After seeing this I have bought this kit! 🤍
Hope you love it 🥰
Fantastic, thorough video! How long do you get out of the gel? I’m planning on ordering the £90 starter kit when I get paid on Friday! Usually I go to a nail tech every month for calgel overlays which is thicker, but thanks to Miss Covid I’m not able to just now ☹️! As someone who barely has any cuticles, am I best to still try and push them down every time I re-do my nails? I was thinking of the cuticle remover also. 😊
I get up to 4 weeks out of mine but everyone is different and it depends on application. Just need to make sure you're not painting over cuticles lovely so push them back if needed xax
This is a lovely video, so useful! I tried looking for your cuticle video but couldn’t find it 😅
Aw thank you! It's in my tutorials playlist :) xax
Brilliant, thanks!
Morning Xameliax!!! First I would like to say that I love your channel!!!
I am new at shellac. I got 1 time and loved cause my nails doesn’t used to last more than 2 days with normal nail polish. So, my husband gave me a surprise: the new mylle shellac kit! I love it and I used once!
It came with the spring nail polishes color box.
Although I loved the colors, sometimes I know I will miss my tradicional nail polish that I have at home. Do you think it’s possible to use traditional nail polish at shellac? Still using the shellac base and top coat?
Hey Natalia, so glad you’re part of team xax! 😊💕🥰 have you got mylee gel polished or CND shellac? Shellac is a brand name of a hybrid gel polish by CND - you need to be trained to use it and it’s not a brand I use so I’m not sure if that’s what you have. But if you have mylee polish, yes you can use a base coat, put regular polish in the middle and finish with a gel top coat - but the products always work best when they’re used with their direct counterparts - so gel polish with gel polish 😊xax
xameliax - UK Vlogger & Content Creator i do have the myllee gel polished! I am very used to do my own nails at home but not shellac. My first experience, i can say wasn’t that bad and my nails are beautiful!!! I hope to be an expert in the future! Continue training! Thank you soo much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi, I never used gel polish and I recently bought Luxa polish but I don’t know if I need two machines or just one .
I’m not sure what you mean my love? It’s always best to stick with the same lamp for your polish to ensure proper curing as per the manufactures instructions xax
What about when using your dominant hand?
Same rules apply 🤗💕
Great video, thanks so much for posting
You’re welcome 🥰🥰
Curious if you always complete one hand at a time when you are doing your own manicure? Great tutorial!
Yeah I tend to, I just find it quicker :) xax
can you do good nail kits for the US?
I’m afraid I live in the UK lovely, sorry!xax
