    I used to hate walking into a salon, asking for a french and they put those white tips with clear over it. My nail beds are sooo small and short that my smile line would be so low. It looked like I barely had a nail bed at all. I hated how it looked. another reason I started to do my own nails. lol.

      I swear none of the family owned salons are board certified. Not that it necessarily matters, like if you’re sanitary and actually CARE an ounce about anything but money while doing nails, then I think even an at home nail tech are ALWAYS better. Certified or not. If you know what you’re doing cause you like doing it, I don’t need to know you spent $20k+ on schooling for it. Your work says your worth!!!

  • @rockpaperskizzers
    @rockpaperskizzers 3 года назад +13

    This kit is the very first acrylic I ever tried! At the time, I was so proud of doing my own nails myself. Looking back now, they were a little...thick lol. And they took FOREVER with that miniature little brush they give you and that frankly useless file (I spent hours filing T_T). I'm glad I upgraded to better products and tools; it's much faster and easier to do nails now. But it's still nostalgic to see the Kiss kit and remember my first ever set. And especially when you are very first starting out and trying to decide if you want to keep doing nails yourself, it's not a bad little kit to try out (though I would definitely invest in a better file).

    Good attachment with the tips-has no gel that squeezes past the finger/nails- but you're right many don't apply it correctly. I've started using only HEMA free gel for my Full Cover tips, being extra careful and unless I am going for a glass nail I leave a little extra nail to cover my skin. The tips I buy -- Double Dip, Apre--iGel have a good apex and a good well.

    Someone else probably mentioned it already, but you can clean your brushes in acetone. That's what I did for over 10 years before I stopped doing nails. When I know I'm finished or I have to stop for longer than maybe 2 to 4 minutes, I clean my brush in acetone to avoid ruining them.

And absolutely read instructions for application and removal before you do it lol

    Note: QUESTIONS AND PLEASE, NEED SOME HELP!
    I just used this kit a few days ago. 2nd time attempting my own acrylics, but watched a LOT of your videos (and other fab creators) to learn what i did wrong the 1st time (they all popped off within 24 hours that time lol).
    I didn't bother even with a top coat this time, figuring i wanted to see how badly I did, and how long before lifting started, etc.
    Well, here I am, 2? 3? Days later, and they are all still there! (Word to the wise, give yourself GOOD lighting. Sighs.) I have a small amount of lift near the cuticles of 2 nails, and a bit more than small amount on 1 - all on my dominant hand (meaning, my non-dominant hand SUCKS at this - so much for ambidextrous lol, it could have been the poor lighting, too).
    A few q's for those with more experience... (i've never been "girly-girl", only had 3 mani's at salons in my life, and like my nails short - gasp, i know. Sorry, but my autism/sensory issues & long nails don't play well together). Anyway, I used the shorter tips from another Kiss Kit (the gel one), as in... i think they are sport length? Anyway, several of my fingers, where the tips are applied, feel... pinched. Like they are being squeezed. Does this mean I went a size too small?
    Also, do I HAVE to use tips? I don't want to build TOO much LENGTH, I want STRENGTH more. My nails lately are cracking from tip upwards towards the cuticles, going deep into the nail bed area.
    Ya'll, I'm at a LOSS. I've tried nail glue on the spots, then the glue covered with polish, nail hardener polish stuff... I finaly got the acrylic stuff, but I'm STRUGGLING. Of course, the cracking is on the dominant hand.
    I have some UV polishes (base, top coat, a few colors). Can I skip the acrylic (after proper prep, of course) & go with like 1 uv base gel layer, 2 uv polish layers, 1 uv top coat layer & get this splitting to stop?
    I tried to keep that nail super SUPER short to minimize damage, but everyday things cause it to split a but more... like climbing into bed.
    Any ideas? Suggestions? Would polygel be better for this? I honestly cannot stand this pinching sensation, I'm about to rip my nails out. Should I try to build my own tiny extention to stop the pinching? (I do remember one of the nail techs doing so, and it was the most comfortable ones I had, even if they were a bit longer than I usually liked. I adapted quickly to them, and was very sad when finances took a downturn & I had to give up my 2x a month "me day".)
    Any tips, tricks, advice, suggestions, etc... i honestly respect all you lovely folks who do this - either just for self or for others. It ain't easy. Rest assured, if I ever get to return to pro-done nails, that gratuity tip gonna be even bigger than before!
    Anyway, thank you to those who respond... i'm'a gonna finish watching this AMAZING woman create stunning nails with this kit (btw, mine was 16$ at walmart). - oh, and if you decide to use this kit i really suggest getting a small but thick-botyom shot glass or an actual monomer glass dish - the thing in this kit will tip over very easily as you lightly touch the inside to remove excess liquid.
    Love to all, and may your results be way WAY better than mine (although, I did improve a LOT, still a lot to learn. Determined, though. I wanna feel pretty...)

      I don't even wear nail polish, I watch these videos because they are relaxing and satisfying for me. LOL.I read through the whole thing and I really wanna help but have no idea about nail care and stuff. I hope someone replies to all your queries.Reddit nail subs may be a good place to ask this though.Just my opinion

      @@vandana8142 i very rarely wear nail polish... to do so, I HAVE to have acrylic under, or it feels like my nails are suffocating. Strange, I know, but it's the only way I can describe it lol.
      I've watched nail art channels off & on for a few years, but didn't really pay attention to instructions... I just love looking at all the wonderfully creative & stunning results, and marveling at how, with a few tools, this is achieved. Seriously, mad RESPECT.
      Hubs is taking me yo Sally's beauty supply store tomorrow. We're gonna find something to help me soak these suckers off, and hopefully, be guided to something that works for me. They've never failed me before - in the past - before I started shaving my head for health reasons - they helped me pick out the right hair bleach, the right dye, equipment, and ran down a list of basic do's & don'ts. I went home & gave myself a sweet ombré. Then, did hubs' hair, with one color on top, another on sides/back. So much fun, and I've gone to them with other questions on hair care, etc, and never had a problem. =D So, am pretty sure I'll get some kind of help. Crossing fingers, anyway lol.
      These things are coming off TOMORROW even if I have to pry them off with a jackhammer! Even more lifting is evident now. But the sensation of my fingertips being squeezed has kept me from sleeping! =/
      Anyway, thank you for replying, even if you had no advice. It's a pleasure to meet you, and keep on enjoying watching these videos! Honestly, they ARE so relaxing, aren't they? =D Best wishes!

      Update: I was able to reduce the pinching sensation! I found my nail chomper (honestly, it makes me think of a guillotine for tiny critters... kinda scary lol). I wanted to reduce the length, and ended up using it on the sides a little, too. After filing things smooth... I realized... that horrible feeling was nearly gone! As in, I think I can actually sleep tonight! I did end up trimming one realllly wonky, but oh well. It did drive home the fact that my dominant hand did WAY better than non-dominant. The nails on my dom hand are super thick, even after I filed until I just couldn't anymore.

      @@vandana8142 holy girrrrrl, I love Sally's lol. They were (in a way, but not really) able to help me.
      1) No more tips. I cut'em down so short it was like i never added them! Hehehe (and, the lady who helped me so much... is in the SHORT NAIL CLUB!)
      2) she taught me basic cuticle care, and when to do certain things to help improve them, and, potentially, strengthen new nail grown
      ----And, told me a product that actually SEALS those cracks (seeps down under the nail and essentually bonds them. It's painted on like polish). Buuuut... they were out. She didn't tell me the actual name of it, or anything. So now....
      Hoping someone knows what it is? I'm gonna end up doing an amazon deep search, but just a suggestion for the search engine would help...
      Oh, and I get to attempt acrylic, just doing a thin coat over just my nail until I can get that stuff, and after that, I can do acrylic or not, my choice =D color or not =D lol, as long as I dont neglect my cuticles.
