Thank you so much! I almost didn't upload. My grandfather passed away recently so I've been spending my days off with my grandma to help her transition and not feel so alone. Unfortunately, that limits my filming options as I can only film on my days off. I'm trying to figure out a better filming situation... Hopefully I can come up with something that doesn't leave me filming at midnight, lol. Thanks again! TFW :)
Got a question I was doing my own nails they were looking very good when I did acrylics but then I seen a video that your supposed to put on do you dhydrator when I did it caused nails sink in why would it cause that
maybe grandma can be your model for the next video. i used to work in a nursing home and i know first hand how much the ladies loved to get pamper and looking even more beautiful than they already are. loved the video by the way.
Finally someone who doesn't file the crap out of their natural nail. I feel like one coat of polish would have been pretty too. Love your nails and video.
Lauren Hurst I agree people should be more aware of the techniques or lack thereof that they use but if you know it shouldn't be done that way then don't do it...
Thank you for this video. I learned gels first and am still trying to perfect it. My mistake is getting too close to the cuticle and having lifting so watching this has helped me on what not to do! Not a lot of youtubers work with gel so I really appreciate this video 💜
I wish you lived close to Indiana so you could show me in person exactly what to do. your video's have inspired me to start trying to do my nails. At this moment though I don't have any polishes. I just went to Wal-Mart and bought my first stamping plate. Eventually I want to be able to do what you do. thanks for being a inspiration.
I have the hardest time with light pink gel polish. It was nice to watch you paint your nails and get some ideas. I’ve started using gel recently and find it looks so much nicer than acrylic and is actually easier for me.🎉 Great video! Thanks for the tips!💗
Well done! I'm looking into trying gel too. I do my own acrylics but that stuff dries SO quick! A bit too fast for my non dominant hand to play with. Ahhhh! Anyways...great job!
Watched this video several times to get this technique down! I’m going to do this but I’m going for the natural look. Thank you for your clear instructions! This is a very helpful video!😊
The colour is so pretty. If I could make a suggestion, when going under the lamp, just mention the time. Whether it's a flash cure or a full cure. Great video
Thanks so much for this video -- it was so helpful! Two questions... (1) can you use nail tips on natural nails that are a little longer than yours (where there is more of a free edge?) and (2) what is your soak off process like for these and how long does it typically take? Does the nail glue dissolve so that the tips come off easily? Thanks again!
Love how you explain the steps! How thick/thin does the nail need to be? I’m still learning. Heard if it’s too thick, it could also break? But I’m afraid of going too thin, but don’t want a thick nail look. Basically, how thin can the tip be without it being too thin, and how thick should the apex be? Thanks!!
I really love watching your videos...Thanks again for the effort and time you put in to the making of your videos it is highly appreciated really...I know you don't always have time and I understand... Again it was really helpfull i am getting it right bit by bit..I just want to thank you for all your help i really do appreciate it...😉😉👌👍
I looked up the nailite builder gel and it didn't say if you are to use an led lamp, they only suggested uv.....just thought I would find before purchasing ....I only have an led. Love your video!!
They came out beautiful, I have not used Nailite gels yet, I have used their acrylic powders, glad I saw how they work, considering buying some. Question: Mixing products, did you find them work well together ( Nailite and Tones). Oh and you don't have to apologize, the majority of us can relate, those bothered by it can just move on. Thanks for another great video, you are an inspiration! - xoxo Emmie
Sabrina Gonzales yes it's called heat spikes. Reaction with the gel curing can create a hot burning sensation. To prevent it you can put your hand under the lamp for 4 seconds and take it out an do that a few times. Then fully cure
Does the nailite gentle gel actually cure with a LED lamp? I only have a LED lamp & when I went to order it, I noticed it said UV and didn't mention LED. I really like the way the nails came out in this video.
Do you know What I could do if my gel seperates from the nail tip the next day? It only separates from the tip area not nail bed area....what am I doing wrong?
I'm currently using Gentle Gel from Nailiteinc.com and Tones builder gel from tonesproducts.com. I like both but use the Gentle Gel more because it is soakable (much easier to remove). Hope that helps, thank you for watching :)
Hi do you experience heat spikes?I have not overfiled nor placed too much gel so not sure why I am feeling an intense burning and I am afraid to try this again.
Vennesa7 yes it's called heat spikes. Reaction with the gel curing can create a hot burning sensation. To prevent it you can put your hand under the lamp for 4 seconds and take it out an do that a few times. Then fully cure
jjjordan0216 les yes it's called heat spikes. Reaction with the gel curing can create a hot burning sensation. To prevent it you can put your hand under the lamp for 4 seconds and take it out an do that a few times. Then fully cure
omg i need those scissors in my life!!! where did you get them!!...and please don't apologize for anything in your videos any of your true subbies won't care and that's who you upload for not the trolls!!! sorry for your loss and please enjoy your time spent learning and enjoying your granny, i took care of my granny her wish was to die at home and i was able to give that too her and it was the greatest thing i could of done for her, your grand dad would be happy to know you are there for her.
I ordered them on Amazon, link is in the description box if you want the exact ones I got :) Thank you so much for the kind words, it is very much appreciated. I work full time as a caregiver so I understand how special it is to care for someone in their last years. You did an amazing kindness for your grandmother. Thank you again!
ugh i can't believe i forgot to look in the description box as you always post that info!!! where i live we call it a continuing care aid, after my first year of nursing school i worked in long term care also as you become qualified to work as a CCA after year 1 and payed my way thru school working there (i went to nursing school so i could take care of all my grannys complex medical needs at home) it is a very rewarding career. thank you i know i made my granny very happy!!! btw you are so lucky you get to wear nails i wasn't able to wear them for 10 years while working as a nurse due to regulations in my hospital.
Unfortunately, yes. The gentle gel I used in the video is soakable. I think ibd makes one that is also soakable but it would state on the packaging that it is. I've used the non-soakable one and have to file it off. Thank you for watching! :)
@@MollyMoosNails Thanks so much..But can you tell me what's the difference between the soak off gel polish and the soakable builder gel because I saw in another video where they said that the soakable builder gel was flexible with the natural nail. I really want to avoid having to use the non soakable gel with tips.
Jennifer Perry ok, so.. you have 3 kinds of gel. 1- Gel Polish (It's only a colour or glitter just like normal nail polish, however it lasts longer than regular nail polish and is removed with acetone. It has no strength for building nail enhancements) 2- Soak Off Builder Gel ( This is more thick mostly comes in a pot but now you can get it in bottles aka BIAB 'builder in a bottle' this is used for strength. So you would use this to build or sculpt a nail using nail forms or nail tips. This soaks off / is removed with acetone. Hence the name soak off) 3- is called 'Hard Gel' or 'non soak off builder gel' (it is everything I said for the 2nd gel I typed above.Exact same building and sculpting rules apply to this gel, comes in a pot, never seen it in a bottle though. However! it doesn't soak off with acetone. Only way to remove it if with filing it off. ) So if you like to build your nails for a week or 2 and then want to remove it all off for work, you would use soak off builder gel. Hope this helped :) x
No need to apologise for your grandma watching TV Hun 🌸 Totally understand ....A beautiful and informative step by step tutorial 👍💖 TY 😘 xox

Lauren Hurst I agree people should be more aware of the techniques or lack thereof that they use but if you know it shouldn't be done that way then don't do it...
Lauren Hurst well if you file you should file st the edge of the tip, you've seen some bad tutorials if the filing is on the natural nail 😥.
The length and shape of your nails are perfection! Thank you for this tutorial.
Never apologize for spending time with your loved ones, 😉, a joy to watch
I love your vids! Plz don't ever stop. You're helping me learn little by little how to do my own nails so I can stop going to the salon (:
Same here 😁
Me, too!!!!
Thank you for this video. I learned gels first and am still trying to perfect it. My mistake is getting too close to the cuticle and having lifting so watching this has helped me on what not to do! Not a lot of youtubers work with gel so I really appreciate this video 💜
I love the way they turn out and I love the natural look before the nail polish

This set of nails are perfect enjoyed the video thanks for sharing x
You did a great job 👏🏻
The colour is so pretty. If I could make a suggestion, when going under the lamp, just mention the time. Whether it's a flash cure or a full cure. Great video
Is it just me? I like the polish with just one coat. Great demo.

Love this look. You always have the BEST tutorials.I love how you work with Gel--Great job, asalways, and TYFS !!
Thank you so much! :) TFW
is gel easier then acrylic
I think so. I started with gel so I might be biased, lol. Thank you for watching :)
Beautiful as always! I need to get back into gels again been doing acrylic for a while now.
Thank you so much! :) TFW
Her nail beds are so nice and healthy looking
Great vid! Have you had any experience with IBD soak off builder or sculpting gel? Aslo can you do a filing video?
Very pretty set. Great video!! tfs
Thank you! :) TFW
Thank you so much for this video. I’d love to learn how to do my own nails.

I really love the way you teach .very easy.is this the regular mail paint
How do you then work a fill without removing the plastic tip also?
Nagyon szép lett.
Which UV lamp do you use?
I luv them great job
Question what is difference between using tips and using the gel itself to build the length ?
Good job girl!
Thank you for this video..it was helpful. I have missed your videos. Thumbs Up!
Thank you so much! :) TFW
Your nail are beautiful. Thanks you for sharing.
How long did you cure? I've cured 60 seconds still sticky. Went another min and still sticky!
Can you put regular polish on your nails after you have buffed out the builder gel? Or does it have to be gel polish?
I really love watching your videos...Thanks again for the effort and time you put in to the making of your videos it is highly appreciated really...I know you don't always have time and I understand...
Again it was really helpfull i am getting it right bit by bit..I just want to thank you for all your help i really do appreciate it...😉😉👌👍
I looked up the nailite builder gel and it didn't say if you are to use an led lamp, they only suggested uv.....just thought I would find before purchasing ....I only have an led. Love your video!!
I'm just wondering if all builder gels have the same cure times and what would be the cure time in an average 36w UV lamp?
When you say primer do you mean base coat? And when you say dehydrator, can I use isopropyl alcohol for that?
Great job ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🤗
Where do you get your products?
Love it!! How do you buff your nails? Dry or filer etc?
Would I get told off at school for this? My school have strict uniform and we’re not allowed nails x
Do you have to cure after each nail or can you do all 5 and then cure? This video is so helpful! Thank you.
Just beautiful!!!
THANKS! :) TFW
were did yuh get that pink nail color @ whats the brand
How long does it take to do a set like these? And can you is madam glam uv or led or is it both?
What would cause the gel hardener to break off or crack on the tips and only the nail tips
Hi, Do I not need a base gel? Is it ok to apply a thiner layer of builder gel and cure then apply larger amounts of builder gel?
Thanks :)
How long do you cure for?
Okay so my problem is when I do gel my nail always breaks off. How do you do it thick enough so it doesnt break, but also doesnt create heat spikes? 😊
Great video and so informative ❤️❤️
Is there any other dehydrator or primer you recommend that's in Sallys?
New to your videos really enjoying themselves x
Helen Evans Thank you for watching :)
what brand is yuhr nail polish that pink one
looks so good :)
Ok this is completely off topic. But where did you get those scissors ✂? My used to have some silver ones like that and I'd love to get some!!
They came out beautiful, I have not used Nailite gels yet, I have used their acrylic powders, glad I saw how they work, considering buying some. Question: Mixing products, did you find them work well together ( Nailite and Tones). Oh and you don't have to apologize, the majority of us can relate, those bothered by it can just move on. Thanks for another great video, you are an inspiration! - xoxo Emmie
Is that primer for gels
Do you have a tutorial for a gel nail fill?
Is the primer a must?
When you put it a little thick does it burn when you cure?
Sabrina Gonzales yes it's called heat spikes. Reaction with the gel curing can create a hot burning sensation. To prevent it you can put your hand under the lamp for 4 seconds and take it out an do that a few times. Then fully cure
what's the viscosity like for this gel?
I just discovered your channel and subscribed to it. Your videos are so helpful. Please do a sculpted gel nail tuitorial soon. ❤😘
Shreyee Roy Thank so much and welcome :) I think I have a few older videos on it but I'll try to do an updated video soon. Thank you for watching!
Beanana711 Sure, I'll be waiting for that 😁
Are you a nail tech? Your nails look amazing 😍 I wish I could do gels 😍 xx
Thank you so much! No, I'm not a nail tech. I'm self taught, lol. Started out by watching RUclips videos and lots of practice :) TFW
Beanana711 you're welcome 😘 That's amazing!! Maybe there is hope for me 😁 xx
Does the nailite gentle gel actually cure with a LED lamp? I only have a LED lamp & when I went to order it, I noticed it said UV and didn't mention LED. I really like the way the nails came out in this video.
If it only says UV, it only cures under UV light. Find a gel that's can cure with both lamps or the LED lamp that you have.
Bmc uses led
Ibd uses led
Do you know What I could do if my gel seperates from the nail tip the next day? It only separates from the tip area not nail bed area....what am I doing wrong?
do you file down the tip so it has a rough surface? x
What was your cure time ?
Maam if i will not use dehydrator and primer then what will happen?
you will get lifting
For primer, can I use a gel polish one?
Yes
Awesome tutorial, I am in love with that pink😍😍😘 tfs
THX! TFW

What kind of lamp did You use ? I used a led lamp and it still felt sticky
That's totally normal, it's an inhibition layer that you wipe off with alcohol.
Hey, how long do you leave your nails under the lamp?
Keyra Sparkman 1-2 mins usually
Can I just leave it to look like normal nails
love your videos ❤
Thank you! :) TFW
very informative! Thanks :)
Thank you so much! :)
How long do you cure it in the uv lamp? 😊
Myrra Hellsing It will depend on how many watts your lamp is but typically 2-3 minutes for uv. Thank you for watching :)
I recently used ibd builder gel and I tried soaking it off but it wouldn't budge! Are some gels non-soakable?
Unfortunately, yes. The gentle gel I used in the video is soakable. I think ibd makes one that is also soakable but it would state on the packaging that it is. I've used the non-soakable one and have to file it off. Thank you for watching! :)
Gisel Prado they have their soak off and hard gels. Both specified on the packaging.
@@Beanana711 hi, is the soakable builder gel strong like the non-soakable gel?

Is this gel strong like hard gel? Whenever I do the soak off gel (IBD) they are so flexible and I hate it.
