I’m so sorry it took me so long to find this video. Having developed a gel polish allergy I was gutted that I had spent so much on polishes and chrome powders I could no longer use. Tried various top coats which crazed the chrome. Had used orly base coat but never thought to use it on top of the chrome. You are brilliant . Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I have the same issue with the unt ready for take off! But I’ve learned if I use a dehydrator on my nails before hand or cleanse with acetone, I can usually get 3 or 4 days before they start popping off.
I got my UNT to last longer with a few small changes. I don't get it near my skin/cuticles,if i do i wipe it fast with an orange stick. When i apply the color i take care to go a bit over the base, capping it in (not only over the free edge but also at the cuticles and sides). At the end i do the same with my fast dry top coat,almost flooding my nail, then take a acetone brush and clean. When i do these steps i can have my manicure for a few days,even with cleaning ,i think the maximum i achieved was 5 days. If i don't follow these steps mine also say goodbye every 1-2 days .
Great video 😉. I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one who's nails pop off, even before the day is out, using UNT Take Off peel off basecoat! I was hoping for at least two days wear, as using the powders is a bit time consuming and I love the effect, but want it to sick around longer! I always wrap my tips, so maybe I'll try another water based basecoat, as mentioned in the previous comment.
amberwillowdaisymae Some ladies shares some awesome tips in above comments for a longer wear: I'm with you, I want my manis to last longer but at least these looks are achievable without the commitment of gel polish, I love it!
Kalda Mccray So glad you were able to find a way to pair powders with regular polish - I personally prefer it to gels myself as I change my nails very often lol thanks for watching doll 💕
As for water-based polishes that will remove with normal acetone, you can try an aqua base like Nfu-Oh. It has a slight hazy cast that Unt doesn't, but it isn't too bad. It has a wear time equivalent to normal polish. Also, even if you use Unt, you can remove your top coat with acetone, then peel off the Unt, then remove the polish underneath with acetone. I notice I get tip wear that causes delamination of the Unt after about a day anyway.
Polished Hippy I have a bottle of the Nfu-Oh one and haven't been able to find it, it's driving me crazy lol! When I do, I will definitely try it out - thanks for the tips 😊💕
Thank you for your detailed explanation, Elena! I was chatting with you on IG earlier today while you were doing your live video (which was awesome, I might add) :) Thank you for the follow back on there! I had said I was going to follow you, but as it turned out, I already had been following you lol. Not to sound creeperish, but I follow you on all social media :) Your nail artistry is lovely and (as I said to you on Instagram) it's nice to connect with fellow Canadians. Once again, thank you for sharing all that you do, Elena :)
You had to file it off your nails??? Argh, that's awful. I did notice it didn't come off normally when I did this, but I absolutely didn't have that much trouble. I actually discovered a hack which was this. I'd put regular topcoat over my UNT so first I started with acetone and cotton. When I noticed I'd gotten down to the UNT layer, I simply ran my hands under warm water. Within 30 seconds it washed away and I was able to go back to the cotton and get the rest of the polish & powder off. (I've also done this using Little Ondine, which is a water-based peel off polish, and it worked the same way.) As far as UNT, I've gotten better wear by doing the following: 1) push cuticles SUPER well 2) clean nail plate with alcohol just before application and 3) apply UNT a little "short" then "seal" the edge of the base with the first coat of polish. However I've discovered that using Little Ondine base and polish, you can apply other things (glitters, powders) over them and for me, it wears a lot better than UNT. However, I did not have good results using just one layer of Little Ondine as a peel off base. Use at least 2 or 3 to avoid damaging your nails.
Jenn W That running it under warm water tip can very well quite well help for an easier removal! Thank you for your insights and sharing with me as well as any others reading this 😊💕
I think I got fobbed off with eBay chrome powder I spent so much money on these polishes to make the ebay ppwders work, the polishes came today, I applied it like you showed and it's not worked it's dull. What do you suggest I ordered polishes from raninbow. Not sure if you can tell me did your polish have chimes writing on the box of the but peel off polish was it a blue and black box. Please becus it didn't go shine as it's or it could well be my powder from eBay as they are jst in a small pot with number on it that's all. I'd be very greatfull if you can reply to me so I can do correctly. Although it look a better than eat I did before now I have to test it under water if comes away or not. thank you love it nails and video I'm from UK do u know any good website I can purchase the powders you have thank you. Tc
I have a question about this video tho. Did you apply a regular glossy top coat after the water base top coat? I thought regular top coats would destroy the look of powders.
Nails by G. #G. RNVLE The wear time will vary per person. A peel off base coat won’t last long on myself, but know a friend where it lasts 5-6 days on her 💕
I feel the pain! It’s been a while since I’ve filmed this video and other brands have since came out with peel off base coats. I’m curious to try some new ones out!
@@nailexperiments Same, I want to try various brands but then I'm worried I'll end up with a million bottles of bad peel off. Like the Barry M one doesn't let you get intact peelies, it kind of chips off which is really unsatisfying
@@nailexperiments I find my peelies pop off even quicker if I use gel because it doesn't flex with my curvy nails. Honestly wish I had a body that matched my curvy nails instead of being weirdly sweet potato shaped 😂
There’s so much satisfaction in a clean peel girl, chips are bleh lol! I have the same experience with gel polish, but only certain brands. CND Shellac has more flex to it versus OPI Gel Color - it’ll vary depending the brand. My nail beds are oily too, with a C curve and don’t expect anything to last long. My C curve isn’t intense but it’s there - I don’t mind it. LOL don’t make me laugh! Love yourself girl, I’m sure your beautiful! I’ve actually always admired the pear shape body types - we always want what we can’t have 😆
It doesn't even work on some gel top coats. It is because of the formula. You have to try out different brands. I did that with gel, I suppose it is very similar with regular ones.
color+waterbase top coat+holographic or chrome powder+Supershine top coat= AWESOME! THNX!!!
wasn't it "color+holographic or chrome powder+waterbase top coat+Supershine top coat"?

OMG that gel allergy...my nails are lifting right now. Came here for the same reason, I'm so glad it's still possible to use the chromes at least.

Meowleficent Awesome tips, thank you and will keep those in mind!
Meowleficent unt is peel off base coat
I love ÜNT! I’ve used it for 10yrs. It saves my nails. Though, if you wash your hands in warm/hot water or hot showers… it will pop off quickly.
how did the powder stay on your dry nails?

NAILEXPERIMENTS I think I'll try the Nfu Oh water based basecoat, as others have better results with that 😉
I just asked this in one of the group buys I don't like gels and wanted to do chrome on regular polish so thanks

How do you get this to stick to dry polish? I've tried this and it just slides right off.
You need a clear coat over it to stick
It looks amazing! Thanks for sharing 💅❤
does buffing your nails allow the coat to stay on longer?
A bit of a dumb question, but do you buff the pigment into wet polish or has it dried already?
combletly dry
I know right?
That was my thought. Idk I'll definitely try it.
Wow, I usually use a brush, going to try these tips😍😍😍💯🥰
Great job and very beautiful thanks for sharing and showing luv 💅💕💕💕

when i applied my water based top coat, it turned the holo powder black!! does anyone know why this happened?
Water base base cost, color (let dry completely), water base base base coat, top coat
Using UNT mine peel off within a day or two as well :(
conyeah02 I find the UNT wear time varies by person as I know some people where it lasts a week 😮

Je n’ai rien compris ☹️
Thank you...I don't use gel nails...now I can use my powder I ordered.not knowing your supposed to use gels...so now I can use my polish
I watched a video where the woman said the clear Elmer's glue works
Amey Manus-Fraser Hey love! It does work, just not as well and takes longer to dry - that’s just my personal experience with that.
Why? For one day of wear seems like a lot of work for little pleasure.

@@nailexperiments There's a plus side to constantly popping peelies, and that is that the more you pop, the more opportunities to paint 😈
Well if anyone comes from simply nailogical.. They can clearly see the difference 🤔🤔🤔
