Though $150 is a lot, it’s pretty good given the amount of full sets you can do
Gwendolyn Hampton t
Nash not much I get nail stuff at like 350 or 400 so yeah but maybe a lot for other people
Gwendolyn Hampton so true two fill in a month run me a hundred
Yeah.. I wanted to order this kit but the shipping to my country literally cost a 100 USD soooo...:(
Exactly, and that’s just for the kit it’s self when you need more nails depending on which one u want it’s like $10-$30 that’s nothing and you get a lot
The fact that she didn’t give up and kept on trying just proves that everything is possible and it’s better to keep trying cause it all takes time and practice , I recently came across her channel and I love every single review she has done cause she’s so honest about it, new sub🥺💗💗
I wonder do people look at her hands crazy when they see her nails on both hands aren’t the same 🤔
I never notice since I watch a lot of you tubers who do that
When you practice doing your own nails, you often end up having different designs that don’t match the other hand just because your trying something new every time. In short, people usually think it’s weird to not have matching hands so they probably do, especially if there’s a lot of bling on them 😆
My hands never match, I always want to wear so many colours so I do two different hands and no one really judges
Well same for Christine 😂
She probably does the other hand off camera
Hey gal- you’re pretty famous but I still feel like ur still underrated. I think you are a YT that would have 5M subs..
Rightttt!!!!!
Just FYI: holding it with your thumb is what’s adding to your air bubble problem. There is not enough pressure. I stopped using that small lamp. Used a regular large LED lamp with the bottom removed and propped up on a table. That way I could get both hands inside. This way you’re able to use your free hand to secure the nail needing curing at the time.
that's what I do too
Me too! This method is a lifesaver!
I have a question since you seem pretty knowledgeable here. Can I buy these APRES nails without their expensive gels and add ons and just use a normal nail glue?
@@eveezelda you can, but I advice using a thick base coat instead. Paint your natural nails with the base coat, then paint the inside of the apres nails where they will come in contact with your nails, hold in place and cure
The reason I advise using base coat vs glue is because of the removal process. Many people don't realize that you do NOT have to soak in acetone to remove the nails! Simply clip them short and then soak in HOT soapy water for about 15 minutes. Start to gently pry up the edges that are starting to lift, then soak some more. After the 2nd soak you should be able to gently lift off the nails. Then just file off the remaining base coat and you're good to go, without the dry hands and nails that come with removal in acetone!
This is still a cheaper option than me getting a $70 set every 2 weeks (my nails grow super fast)! You did absolutely amazing!
Agree! I do mine at home and get comments all the time...it takes patience to learn, but I love that I can do it myself and people think I went to the salon! 😊👍
Girl no get you some acrylic and get some pre-painted press ons. Buff your natural nail put on a bond and I promise you they will last for 2 to 3 weeks.
I do Apres nails on clients professionally but also on myself here’s a few tips ladies
1 put a goo amount of extend gel at the beginning of the tip let it fill through the nail by itself. Doing this part slowly is key to no bubbles and extra gel on the sidewall.
2. Don’t try to use that teeny tiny lamp when working on yourself it’s more efficient when working on other people. What you can do is let your normal size lamp if you have one sit at the edge of ur table or nail desk so it can catch ur motion and cure it while you hold the nail In place . It’s less work that way,
So happy you finally tried Apres LHPN ✨❤️
Please help! My salon just introduced. It's so hard and so messy
What do you need help with ?
@@iloveyouDAIMOND love the idea gonna try it
You should do, "Hate comments do my nails"
That would be a good video but I don’t think she has any!
@@makaileigh1356 IKR it’s not even like an exaggeration it’s true! She has not hate like I’m so proud of her!!
Kaileigh Barnes
That was exactly what I was gonna say haha 😂 I was gonna say she does not have any haha 😂
What do that mean
I was ur 200th like
CEO of putting memes in her videos 😂
Antonio Garza: aM i A jOKe tO yOU
Love this system! 3 weeks going strong with my current set!
Led flashlight!! That's the secret. I use a flashlight, hold it with my mouth lol to flash cure while Im able to hold pressure on the nail! No bubbles ;)
Samantha Nemie I know you’re telling the truth, my old nail tech used a led flashlight to secure my gel x as well.
Hey do you have a link to the flashlight you used ?
What flashlight do you use!!???
The led flashlights you can find on amazon!
TANEKA HAIRSTON I do too. Sooo much easier.
$150! Tips should be already "pre-roughened" and the light should be as big and as bright as the sun! Thanks Evie! Sorry you had to shell out some precious nail money to get this system
Yeah at that price for the finger lamp is a joke.
Yes! that's why I keep seeing Apres dupes. The tips are expensive too. Enailcouture has gel tips for 10 bucks, and you apply it with a normal gel base coat.
Im wondering how do you do a fill in with this product 🤔
That’s just too much money to spend just for the convenience for me personally.
Bri Jadore girl, you can say that again! Everybody calling themselves a nail tech and can’t even bother with trying to sculpt a proper nail. 🤦🏿♀️
I use just clear full cover nails, my own lamp and ibd builder gel. Works the same and less than $20.
I've done 7 sets of Apres nails on myself, love them, you get used to doing them on yourself. I dont use their lamp I use my big lamp upside down. It's much easier to hold the nail on and no air bubbles.
I’m so glad I came across this comment, I was having such a hard time going under the light, thank you !!!!
That brush reminded me of that episode of spongebob when they had to paint mr krabs walls with a brush the size of 1 hair
Yes I remember that episode 🤣
I get relaxed and sleepy when I hear your voice
Saaame
I’ve done so many sets on myself with my gel-x! I am not a nail tech what so ever and these last at least 4 weeks on me. Removal is 10-15 mins super easy! Just takes some getting used to doing it on yourself. I haven’t even attempted to use the mini light in the kit on myself (better for application on client), I just simply slide out the tray in my uv/led lamp and prop it up somewhere. If that makes sense! It makes the process so much easier. Love love love my gel-x and I definitely won’t be going to a salon again.
How long does the whole kit last? Do you think it's really worth $150? I'm no nail tech either but I've been doing my own for the longest & have really come to appreciate nails I can press on rather than mold myself.
Dee the whole kit includes enough product for 50 sets, and they last 3-5 weeks. I’ve been using this for about 5 months now and have had a couple sets last 5 weeks! If you enjoy doing nails and want something that is much easier than sculpting (especially when doing them on yourself) I would definitely recommend to try it! I know it seems like a big chunk of money to spend all at once on nails, but it’s such a bang for your buck. I just think of it this way. If you went to a salon once a month and paid $55 + tip and had them last 4 weeks, even with just getting fills you would spend way more than $150 if you got 50 sets done from a salon!
How do you remove gel-x? Can you soak them off or do you need to file off the tips?
@@Nickichimney you do realize that 50 sets would be 500 nails? One set are 10 nails and I don't believe that you can get 50 sets out of those. Sooo..
@@wioi no I think she's correct. Each size has 50 nail tips. So assuming none of your nails use the same size, you could get 50 sets out. But for me, two of my nails use the same size so I don't get 50 sets from a box.
I love how u didn’t give up on the web I would’ve given up at attempt number two🤦🏾♀️💀
I love that you showed your different attempts at doing the art on your nails. Personally, it makes me feel better knowing that even super talented nail people like yourself don't get it right the first time... or second.... or third... or, well you know...
she is very calm and never gave up
👇
Mrs Evie, do you have a whole long hair pretty nails kit, if not can u create one. Pleeeaaseeeee with some glitter an tingz 😭 pretty plz
leah yes! Great idea.
Omg yass please
Yes but an apres dupe
My names evie and I thought I was in my old account and saw this I was like UMMMMMMM WHATTT
leah I’m new and I went on her website searching for it. I definitely agree!
how is there already 1 dislike ? she’s literally just posted a sec ago 😤😤
Ikr
Faith Xiong it just means the haters have their post notifications on 👍🏽
Faith Xiong because they don’t want to be nice
Hate watchers are so strange. Why are they watching (and apparently subscribed) to people they don't like? Weirdos!
Faith Xiong haters hate just because it’s all they know how to do
I would be blessed if there was a nail artist like you around my area. These lady’s are still leaving my nails crooked.
OMG ISTG I was at the nail salon and I was showing her that she put my nail on crooked and she said no that’s just ur messed up eye.... like what the hell.....
ShEeEeEEEeEesh
The last time I got apres done in salon the lady mixed natural and sculpted tips and also put them on crooked and blamed it on my fingers. …..so why did I get all my nails on straight my first try doing this at home?! 😂
Mine are always lumpy and crooked for $70.
@@fazerugg1992 not that just your messed up eye wtf 😬 she cold for that
Hi, I am just a kid and I am trying to learn how to do nails better I soon want to be a nail tech when I get a little older. I just want you to know you inspire me so much to do what I love! 😁💕
I have had this kit for 3 months now and I love it. It is a bit difficult to do on yourself but when you find a method that works for you it’s easy. It takes practice but I’m a self taught and I love Apres. I love your channel and keep being an inspiration to me and others in the nail world
Ashley Williams I feel like you definitely need to learn what works. But the kit is amazing. I had mine done by a pro and they lasted me 3 weeks! No Chip, no lifting. If I could have done a fills I would have. But honestly, I loved it. Debating on buying it! I was hoping she nailed it (pun intended)! Lol
I’m not trying to be rude but how can you be a self taught nail tech? You need to complete a certified program in order to get licensed. If you’re practicing without a license I wouldn’t be talking about it on social media
Goon Cookie I didn’t mean a nail tech just self taught. I only practice on myself and daughter not others. But I do know a lot of self taught nail techs that do nails on others.
you’ve taught me so much when doing any types of nails i am so grateful for you! i hope i can be a nail tech one day🖤
I don’t know how but you manage to make every mistake that you make funny!
That’s probably one of the best things about your videos (and how satisfying they are)
Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Your attempts at getting the lines how you wanted was so inspiring!! ♥ And you have the cutest chuckle! ^^
I'd buy the kit just for that mini lamp. It's so cute.
JAB girl same
The mini lamp probably is what made it cost so much lol
You can buy it separately, it's 12$
@@keyannabradford5882 it's 12 dollars alone so no lmao
You can buy them on amazon!
I have been wearing the Gelx nails for about a year now and I absolutely love them. You did very well for your first try, but my only advice was that you forgot to do your base layer of gel on your nail bed first, then you cure your nails with just the gel. Then you put gel in the well of the tip, press tip on, and then cure again. This will not only make them adhere better, but it will also prevent the air bubbles.
I have to say, I truly appreciate you showing all the attempts at your nail design! It makes us see you as human, lol and that things take time... even if you're a pro!
I’m not big on commenting but I needed to let you know that you are so sweet and humble. Other channels are unbearable but you are so professional and I love your channel. Keep up the work and best of luck to you
$150 definitely is not cheap, but the finished product is gorgeous. Although, I think Evie could make any product work with her skill and perfectionism. I absolutely love how clear-looking the nails turned out. They look so classy! You are the nail master, honey!😍
Idk why the “bruh” made me laugh so much 🤣🤣🤣
JanelleAlexandra the “bruh” always makes me laugh!!!
I love that you show every step. A lot of people don't remember to file the insides of the gel nails. Or tips. When doing so it helps a lot to have that hold you need. Don't forget base coat on ur nails b4 placing. Than cure.
I like how this show us how to never give up and just keep our head up
I bought the apres system last month, I’ve done two sets on myself and I absolutely love it and won’t be going back to polygel or acrylics. It was worth every penny. I’ve been waiting for your thoughts on this system for months .
the 304 dislikes are the people who nails are chipped, dirty and NOT poppin
My nails be chipped. ;-;
Yess you are perfectly right who ever disliked your nails crusty rusty and dusty
mango was it ever that serious?
My nails be like that everyday. I’m a big fan of this RUclips channel and I didn’t dislike.
mango if they don’t like the Product it’s not the creators fault.
I appreciate you showing all the attempts! Everyone sees the results but not the struggles and it’s refreshing
I would love to see you do the dupe method for this since we can't go nowhere lol. Over the years, you've helped me sooooo much with doing my own nails when I can't get to the salon. Thank you for what you do, sis and stay safe!
how r u not super sticky?? signed a very frustrated newbie coffee drinker lol😵
It’s sad that everyone here is a nail fanatic
Then there’s me the one just here for your voice 😭
I'm here for the same thing
Oh no, same! I always watch these videos to relax bcus of her voice x
I love nails but I'm here for her voice too.. it's crazy relaxing lol hearing her talk
I’m here for both don’t worry 😉
How is it sad?
After the second attempt I would've just been like whatever and paint the whole damn nail lol
Over the air bubble?
You are so creative. I learned SO much from your videos. I just started acrylic 4 days ago already a little advanced for just starting by watching your videos. Keep it girl. I stand by your videos !!!!
I love the hubby being all supportive with the subscribe pillow there ❣️
Me: ouhhh im finna get some inspiration agian
Me again: this is the introooooo of long hairr pretty nails showwwwwww YEHHH
Kristen Kirkpatrick omg no joke....I literally said the same thing!!!!
Omg same lol
My husband sings it Everytime he hears it!!!
The “bruh” when she found the 1st air bubble took me out!! I love the edits she puts on her videos!! So glad I subscribed
I love that little nail lamp. It's pretty awesome. You are so sweet and have a soothing voice. I like that you point out mistakes and keep moving on. It's all a learning process and no one is perfect. I bought a fiberglass kit from Amazon and the builder gel was super thick like the gel u have. I will be letting the company know, because it did make it really hard to work with. Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work. You are a beautiful person! 🤗 P. S. I love love love that you don't give up... You keep pushing along gf. So impressed.
you showed up on my suggested a week ago and all I want to know is why youtube didn't show me your channel sooner! thank you for the thorough and awesome content, you have literally answered all of the questions I have had the past few months.
I bought everything separately (sans emory board) & saved almost $40
Thank you for the tip sis
I’ve never clicked anything so fast in my life
You're little clips in the corner of the video cracks me up. I just love your videos they're my favorite as for advice on products for beginners .
I love your videos. I started trying to do my on nails when the pandemic hit and I was an epic fail. You showed me that mistakes occur but keep trying. I m still trying and getting a little better each time. Thank you for your videos.
You don’t understand how loud i scream 😱 “THIS IS THE INTRO TO THE LONGHAIRPRETTY NAIL SHOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!”
Jnarra Eilam AND the little " yeaaahh " at the end 😂
When you are first and you have no juicy comments to read so you just watch the vid and not just listen to her soothing voice 😂
This is exactly what it’s like doing your own nails! Seriously, I start over a few times on harder nail art! ❤️
I've been watching your videos for 3 hrs now. Love your in depth explanation. I'm new to doing my own nails. You do an awesome job. Thank you for all the tips, etc.Lov your videos. God bless.
I always think im first but then realize how there are a whole lot of people who are "the first ones"
Man, im upgrading, my notifications are late making me late to my fave ytuber
So me and my 4 year old sassy diva daughter goes “this is the Introooooooo, mom why her nails so sharp” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 then she sees the blood being painted on “MOM WHOSE BLOOD IS THAT” 😂😂😂😂 I am screaming Evie I can’t watch your videos in peace
This needs to be featured 🤣
Agree
Ayeee Janea 🤚🏻
This is the winner for a feature 😂🤣
lol😂
I love watching your videos. I honestly am terrible at painting my own nails.
But your videos are so entertaining and your voice is soothing, unlike other you tubers... Watching you makes me think I can do it. I know better but for a minute it’s nice 😂❤️
The dislikes are the people who don't know how amazing and talented you are.
I am rewarding you with...
A subscriber!!!!
When she filed down her nails I was about to cry! C'mon sis save some nail for us 😂😂
The one time I’m early it already says 59 comments😂😂
I love your editing technique trust me I know it takes a long time and it is appreciated!❤️
i love that you show your mistakes with nail art !! makes me feel seen 😌
I’m in england it’s like 3 in the morning here rn and you’ve just released this video😂
This seemed like more hassle than it was worth. But turned out pretty.
You took the exact words out of my mouth!
I promise it's easier when your doing someone else's nails
@@ladymonds4936 It probably is.
I’ve been doing these on myself for months. It takes getting used to. Practice is key, but once you get it down pat it’s life changing.
It's not that bad but def.takes practice. Once i got it down, i can do a full set in 15 minutes on myself. Also, it soaks off like gel polish.Downside is the products are a bit pricey and can take a while to receive after ordering. This system is def.a money maker...the nail tech who did my first set charged $50, however these can last up to 6 weeks
I love that you kept trying until you got it!! Nails look beautiful as always 😊
I have been really debating and I mean REALLY debating getting this kit. I usually use dip powder and I do my nails at home because I also am/was a nail tech. I ALWAYS come watch your channel any time I need another opinion. You're awesome. 😍 I think this I one I might have to pass on though. I'm so glad you posted this.
Kiara sky gelly tips kit is sold out everywhere so I had to go with this one! I hope I can do it lol this will be my first venture into doing my own nails....
how did it go?
All Things Akua This kit is really easy to use I say buy it you won’t regret it I love it even bought more shapes and sizes
@@TayAremoni Thanks a lot. I'll go ahead and get them then
All Things Akua Your Welcome
These attempts are cracking me up. But you sound like me when you were like “I don’t like that”.
I like to watch these videos because they are supper cool and to get over my fear of looking at the cuticle being pushed back. I have never gotten my nails done before and always cut them short but never did that cuticle thing.
You are like the only person I watching RUclips now all day today I was watching you and if I had to do something that I pause the video go do it and I come back to your videos
My sister was like girl u always watching her girl I was like girl I know I love her so much she always teaches me how to do my nails and by the way I love you and I love all your new videos 💕🥺 and I love the way your nails came out 💕
I really love how you do your nails it’s so detailed and i am learning a lot from you every time i watch your videos. Thank you 💅🏼😃.
I used a little clip on iPhone holder from dollarama to hold light. It frees up my hands and made curing so much easier. 😻
Me: * buys kit just for case *😂
That lamp is literally the cutest thing ever
It’s easier to get straight lines when the brush hairs are shorter, ( for me at least ) you should try that next time
short brushes give you more control
Consistency is key I almost thought you were going to give up but you didn't lol... Just another reason to watch you is all I see. I loved it and I enjoyed your determination it's amazing as usual❤❤❤
I literally can't stop watching your videos
Am I the only one wondering how many different nail kits are at her house🤔😂😂
Ig: adoree_jeyy
You are not the only one, i wish she can send me some lol
I know right
I think the same thing every time I watch a video lol. She should do a top 5 kits video!!
@@jamikapolk9522 yh that would be entertaining
Fr
7/8 attempts? You're a G for showing us that. Btw, your husband is always so funny in the corner. Yes for your male cheerleader ✊🏾💛
Even though the price is steep the amount of sets and the easy application is right up my alley. I've been looking for a kit that's easy to use and long-lasting and I feel as though this is the product and it's convenient that it comes with a lamp of its own and I love how small it is and the packaging is great for on the go. Definitely worth the money 😊😊😊
I plan to invest in this kit one day because the products looks dope and I'm a fan of Chaun's work but you can literally get 500 strong clear tips from Amazon or Aliexpress for less than $20 and some gel base and top coat for $5-$6, so you can dupe this system for 1/5th the price
I laughed so hard when you said you drank coffee beforehand and I'm so immature im just imagining a super wired up person whos shaking doing their nails hahaha

I know this is kinda left field, but I gotta say, you have the best sound of any channel I've heard. I so appreciate that cause the speakers in my phone SUCK!!!!
Thanks for awesome vids all around!!
I like this method alot. It so much easier. I have learned that the more i use this method i get better with no air bubbles.
I’m thankful you test these things out for us personally I wouldn’t spend that much money on this kit!! Thanks 😊
Aren’t they tricky!! But you slayed as always xx
Thanks Liz! 😘
The precision she has is unreal.
There’s something really addictive about your signature giggle
_johneshia literally at work in the bathroom sneaking to watch 😂😂😂😂
Your use of memes and gifs in this was killer!
Your nail game is great too, but I loved the editing and all that jazz!
Just discovered your videos, and I wish I hadn't! I'm so addicted!! Since my second video, I've been saying, "this is my last video;" now on video #7. Lol. You're so talented!
Can you do a video on the best/all the products you recommend for beginners that want to start doing acrylics? Btw I love your videos
