Hi beautiful- just completed my FIRST set yesterday and I’m SOOO IMPRESSED. I followed along in the video (how to keep nails for 3-4 weeks overlay method).
I’m still shocked at the adhesion! Now I come back to watch bc you know the first set wasn’t TOP NOTCH but the I’m sold. As a Virgo I can do anything😂. Just a huge thanks. Sorry for long the testimonial.
Ps: I need to get better or more comfortable with curing the nail extension
I love this! I’m glad you did your first set and I’m the same way, I will DIY most things lol Thank you for sharing ☺️🤍

I want to definitely do more videos with the kits for those who purchased it from my first video. Thank you ☺️🤍
Love this technique! I do this with my gel tips! Such an easy process! Light weight and natural. I wanna try with flesh tone builder gel.
That's awesome! I can't wait to see what you do with it, it's going to look great!☺️🤍
I only just found you today & am loving your videos. So I’ve subbed. I love your voice it’s so soothing & so is the music, I have to try to make sure I don’t fall asleep haha. Love your natural & extended nails. You’re so pretty too! Hugs Vick, Yorkshire, England x

That sounds fun, I can’t wait to see what you come up with! ☺️🤍
Found your video while scrolling today - I love that you take your time with everything. Plus your pics is really soothing lol
Thank you so much 🥹🤍
I was just saying I’m gonna start back doing my own nails and you just confirmed it for me thank you so much new subbie here
Yay! Thank you for subscribing☺️🤍
@JourneyswithJai I tried the soft gel nails before, and they're too soft for me as I'm hard on my nails. Have you thought that as well? Or have any advice for me?
❤❤ amazing how all of these layers of products on your nails, your nails still look so thin and natural!!👏👍
I have yet to master this technique😅
😢 I don’t have that wonderful ability to match designs or colors, so most of the time I do not like my finish nails. Either the colors don’t go good together and match up or the design doesn’t go with the colors of the stickers don’t go, etc..🤦♀️
But your nails are beautiful, beautiful❤
Crazy that youtube has to warn people to be civil when making comments fir the first time on someone's channel. Anywaysssss....
You have an amazingly calm voice, you shoukd do voice work!!! And I love your finger tattoos, it always makes hands so interesting!! Thanks for making videos girl!
Thank you so much! That’s a huge compliment☺️🤍
Questions: How would this work with flat nail beds? What could I use to keep them on? TY
Could you do a video on how you remove the nails while keeping your nails healthy?
Hi,
I actually have a few removal videos on my channel ☺️🤍
@@JourneyswithJai okay. Thank you! I’ll check them out. 😊❤️
I absolutely love this video! Thank you. Can we use top coat instead of builder gel?
Thank you so much! I wouldn’t recommend using topcoat in place of builder gel because it’s not a gel product to create structure. 🤍
Thank you so much! I love your videos, lol. They are so relaxing! Can we use builder gel to apply the nails as long as they are gel?
Hey, tfs! I struggle with using builder gel & this method. Saving this❤💅🏾
Hi Amanda! ☺️🤍
Loved your video!! Your nails are super cute!!
Thank you so much! 🥰🤍
As always, you didn’t disappoint. ❤
I do have a question. After the overlay method, can you use regular nail polish on the set?
Thank you!
I haven’t applied regular nail polish to them but I don’t see it not working. 🤍
💜 video! I struggle with the cuticle area and amount of product when adhering gel tip to my nail. Still a beginner and trying different methods. It also takes me forever so I am enjoying the one hand at a time method. I generally do a topcoat over Everything because I use regular polish and switch it up frequently. Will try your method for cuticle area. One question, when you cut off the tips that much does it make it thicker at the tip of the nail?
Hi,
The nails are pretty much the same thickness when I cut it down, which is nice. You could also opt for any nail tips you may have that you find to be a little bit more on the flimsy side. 🤍
#Boom you already know Jai🤍🤍🤣🤣 I just finished my gel-x nails!! I gave myself a fill in which I learned how to do from YOUR past overlay method video🙌🏽💪🏽 let me get some nail inspo from my favorite nail girlie!!! #HappySaturday
Hi #notificationsquad ☺️ I love that! Please share your beautiful sets with me on ig I would love to see them. 🤍
@@JourneyswithJai Absolutely!!! Let me go follow you there so I can start sharing my little progress with you! Because we are both neutral polish girlies at heart, I wanted to recommend this color I just used on my set today, DND #884 floral fields🤍🤍 I’m in love with it!
Yes please do ☺️ and #884 sound right to my alley it’s in the same color Family as my other colors. Thanks for the recommendation 🤍
@@JourneyswithJai just found you! No problem at all! From your videos I see that we have a lot of the same sheer polishes since I have deemed this my new fave I thought you might like it too!! Can’t wait to see you post a video with it!!!
Thanks, first video so good explained
Thank you for watching ☺️🤍
Great tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you ☺️🤍
Looks great sis❤
Thank you so much! 🤍
One question I’ve always had is about the nail tips. I always see people doing gel x with full nail tips, and then I see a acrylic only putting nail tips at the white part of the person’s nail I always wondered what’s the difference
Gel x is normally weaker than acrylic therefore different techniques r required
Gel is a lot weaker then acrylic and it doesn't destroy your nail beds
Hi, loved how you worked this buider gel. I have a question
Due to my job, i can't have tips on or long nails. Could i use builder gel on my natural nails?
Yes you can use builder gel on your natural nails 🤍
Hey there ! I’m just looking for a little clarification. Did you end up using the nail glue at all? The video mentions it briefly, but then later I saw that you cured the nail tip on to your prepped base. - Just need to know if I need to purchase nail glue or not to adhere the nail to mines. TIA ❤ this is an awesome tutorial and it has me maddd excited ! Can’t wait to try ittt 😝😝!!
Hi,
I did use the nail glue to apply the extensions. I show the nail glue, me applying it on the extension and then adhering it to my nails in the video. ☺️🤍
I see now ! You used the “Gel Nail Glue” to adhere vs using the Builder Gel for the overlay 😮- GENIUSSS 🤩✨🤩
New subbie!! Your video is so calming and relaxing!! Amazing work❤️🔥
Thank you ☺️🤍
very nice clear video! you have a new follower :) I have a question. This overlay method where you put the tip on almost your whole nailbed with nailglue, will that reduce the risk of contactallergy, compared to if you put the tip only halfway on your nailbed? I imagine with your method you have more surface with nailglue and the other option you have more surface with buildergel, what would be less risky, the glue or the buildergel?
@c.6814 both ways are using gel.... the "nail glue" she's using is gel base coat pretty much
New subscriber yes I’m going to try this how long do u cure under light. This was definitely an inspiration to do ,e and my daughters nails Ty ❤love this
Thank you for subscribing! I flash cure for 15 ish seconds to adhere the extensions on and when I flash cure the builder gel everything else is 60 second cures ☺️🤍
Didn’t know I can do that with this. Builder gel
Wow ❤👏👏👏
Thank you ☺️🤍
These are beautiful 🤩. Will non jelly tips work as well?
Going to try this 😊
☺️🤍
Beautiful
Thank you ☺️🤍
Hi! I have a question and was wondering if anyone could help me. Can I use builder gel (potted soft gel) to glue my nails on or does it have to be base coat?
Hi,
I only use gel nail glue/extend gel to attach extensions so I’m not sure if that would work. 🤍
@@m4jima Technically yes you could use a builder gel, but it's not recommended, because it's thicker.
It may cause heat spikes, and burn.
The builder gels that are a 5 in 1 etc. that say you can use it as a glue gel to attach nail tips, are formulated for that purpose and are usually a thinner viscosity.
I know there are those super thick putty gels, that they also use for attaching tips, but again they are ment to be used that way so the formula is different.
If it is a straight up builder gel, they are expecting you to already have other gels or tips on the nail plate, that helps you not feel the heat.
At the end of the day, you can only know by trying, so give it a try but I would suggest you start with your hand outside of the light, and then slowly move into the lamp.
This way the gel cures slower and you shouldn't get a heat spike.
Hope that helps
🙂
Hi! I’ve done that before and for me it work until you do anything with your hands lol (so I guess it doesn’t work 😅) I feel like it’s that shiny layer that’s not quite sticky enough for the tip to adhere to the gel… it’ll stay on your natural nail if you prepped correctly. (The gel not the tip) Hope this helps!
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you ☺️🤍
Hi, very nice video can you show what for nail glue you put on your nail Please ❤
Hi,
I did briefly show in the video (probably too quick lol) it’s modelones 4 in 1 nail glue and I also have it linked in the description box for you guys. ☺️🤍
Really liked ou I ❤
Super cute❤❤
Thank you 🤍
Your nails are stunning
Thank you ☺️🤍
🫶 so relaxing.
Thank you 🥹🤍
❤
I want you to do my nails just because your natural nails are gorrrgeous 🤩 you know what you're doing and that's proof!
Thank you ☺️🤍
How does it do with soaking off? Love the inexpensive kits, but my beetles doesn't soaking off well.
Removal is easy, I drill down the bulk of the nail and soak them off 🤍
that lamp is adorable where's it from?
nvm I saw😂
I was just responding lol 🤍
Very Nice
Thank you! ☺️🤍
New here love your work ❤
Thank you ☺️🤍
How sweet of you to mute the filing & buffing. Love the set💖💖
I never know if I should keep it in or not lol thank you ☺️🤍
What do you do when the nail bed is so flat that you cant get the gel nail to actually make conatct fully without forcing it?
Hi,
there are different gel x nails that have options for flatter nail beds. Previously when I would buy sculpted gel x it would bee to high off of my nail bed so I would file down the sides to work for me. I also realized that the natural worked best for me in most cases instead of sculpted. I hope that helps.🤍
What do.u use to attach the tip to yur nail bed?
Hi,
I do show/use the modelones nail glue to attach the extensions.🤍
💜💜🖤🖤
☺️🤍
I used dip powder and decided to go with gel as an easier application. Have followed every instruction to the T and for the life of me my nails will not cure. Any tips that may help me through this process? Thanks
Hi! It sounds frustrating when gel won’t cure as expected. Here are a few things that might help troubleshoot and improve your gel application:
1. Check Your Lamp: Make sure you’re using an LED/UV lamp with the proper wattage-usually 36W or higher for gels. If the lamp is lower than that or aging, it might not provide enough power to cure the gel fully.
2. Proper Curing Time: Depending on the brand of gel, curing time can vary. For LED lamps, typically it’s 30-60 seconds, and for UV lamps, around 2 minutes. Double-check the recommended time for your specific gel and lamp.
3. Thin Layers: Applying gel too thickly can prevent it from curing fully. Try applying thin, even coats and curing each layer completely before adding another.
4. Wipe Between Layers: Some gels have a sticky layer that needs to be wiped with alcohol between coats, which can improve curing.
5. Keep Hands Steady in the Lamp: If your hands aren’t flat and steady in the lamp, the gel might cure unevenly or not at all.
If you still have trouble, switching to a fresh gel product or new lamp might be worth a try! Let me know if any of these help, and good luck with your nails!
@ thank you so much. I’m having a feeling that the lamp is the offender. I’m taking your advice and fingers crossed, it works. I want nails as beautiful as yours 🙏🏼
@@JourneyswithJai thank you for the advice. I’ll follow it thoroughly next time. I think the issue has to be the lamp. Fingers crossed that with a new one I’ll have beautiful nails like yours 🙏🏼 Thank you
It will turn out beautifully ☺️🤍
Where did you get your nail lamp¿
Hi, I got the lamp on Amazon. I have it linked in my description ☺️🤍
You tagged builder glue in your bio, not the 4 in 1 glue 😩
In the description box under all products used, that’s going to be the link that has everything in it☺️🤍
Jai, if you saw mine right now you would CRY FOR ME…..they are SO SHORT…..right to the skin, SHORT…..and the sides keep splitting and snagging while I am waiting on them to grow out enough to at least put an extension on but if I did them NOW, they would be sticking to MY ACTUAL FINGERTIPS…..🤦🏼♀️…….I thought maybe, just MAYBE I will put some Rubberbase clear on them to just allow them to grow out so they don’t split at the sides while they grow.
Got my one hand caught in a gate which snapped my fingers AND the nails on that hand and on the other, I was so stressed I clipped them down and used my Drill with a sandpaper thingy on it….a bit grit just to get the nail down and there are STILL 3 that will NOT COME OFF short of me cutting the finger off so I have been cutting THOSE nails as they grow out…. no problem with those ones…..but the others……YIPES and OWIE….only thing I can think of is to do that to stop them from splitting at the sides. When that 5/8” on each side of my R Thumb and R ring and R Index finger split on both sides and then snag……OH IT HURTS and there is nothing I can DO BUT Cut off the snags so I guess…..I will try to put something on them to keep them from splitting the way they are…….
THIS SUCKS…….and I am so mad at myself because it was my fault……always in a hurry…….when ya slow down….these things do NOT HAPPEN.
YOU are my every 10-14 day “TREAT” as I do my nails and watch all your vids……so now I just watch while I wipe a tear with my fingers with snuggled up yucky nails…..sniff sniff…..😢😢😢
PS: LOVE THAT LAMP!!!!!!
Oh no I hope your fingers heal smoothly and quickly. Always happy to see you here ☺️🤍
I would love to see non dominant hand. That’ll b my struggle
I have a non dominant hand tutorial on my channel ☺️🤍
Yasss I’ll look for it
Why not put it on like a press on?
You need to do a cuticle care video, yours look nice. Nail techs don't even touch cuticles now a day and the nail looks like it needs filling so quick cuz they don't be touching the cuticle.
Thank you for the suggestion! I'll keep that in mind for future videos! ☺️🤍
I agree! Her nails and cuticles look so healthy! Because of her ive started oiling mine every night and pushing back my cuticles more often.
Beautiful nail set🤎🤎
Thank you ☺️🤍
I can't stand you long nail bed heffers!
How's your nails short and long at the same time?
