I simply don't know what I would do without creators like yourself, NikkiP, Kristina Couture, Dipped in Pretty, LHPN, and Emily. I have learned so much from you all and right now it's keeping me sane with all the hatred and toxicity on RUclips and all social media. Thank you so much!
I tried your apres method of applying a base coat with the ezbasket nails and let me tell you they stood on for 3 weeks! I changed the design, cooked, cleaned, banged them and nothing!
Divine Charlen'ee ... yeah that’s the only thing about using bases & builder gels it makes the nails last FOREVER‼️ [in my Cardi voice] It’s the worst if you like to switch up. I think I’m going back to glue for press on 🤷🏽♀️😩😂😂
The steam remover gadget cuts down on some of the time & work also. That & the drill helped I just get impatient 😆. But seriously I would look into those two items.
Excellent video! I've found that a rubber base coat offers me the longest wear time! I dupe Apres as well and find this method fast & easy! I'm almost 63, so girls if I can do it, so can you!
I've been following you for 2 year as I was pregnant and I tried everything you put out just about i say that because I was happy to get the gel tips and did the lazy girl method and I love it 😀 😊 💕
Your ideas are great I’m not gonna lie I’m totally hooked on your channel and I’ve been spending a fortune trying to build my at home nail salon cause you so inspired me and I’m really loving it so thanks so much 😜💝
Hi love ur vids be are love I be did find that base coat does not at all work for more then 5 days I have to use hard gel sooo I was wondering if u use no any thing else I'm not catching??????? Lmk thanks babe n again ur vids are amazing....please lmk tho I'm in need of help with this doupe????????
They look beautiful Femi your nails are so cute too you know me and pink it’s my favourite nail colour I love it, awesome work dear have a beautiful evening Femi👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🥰🥰🥰💗💓💞💝💕💖
Omg how pretty. 👍❤. Femi do you cure each layer of 7 individually? I asked because Im worried about the bubbling Also I did a regular coat and it stayed on for 5 weeks. I was scared because the nails were hard to get off 😂😂😂 my feet and hand lol. I had to use the drill to the nail bed. I used the Makartt base and no wipe top.
Is it base gel you are applying on the fake nail and the real nail (pressing together) or is it builder gel ? I want to try this but im confused ! Thank You ! (Im a beginner sorry if this is a stupid question) 😄
@@xxashleycutexx pretty much just like the gel system. Lay the polygel base coat down, rough up the tip, small amount of polygel. Ive got videos on my channel💕
Kathy McDowell I just subscribed and watched it. Thank you. Do you think it will work if I use the natural color full tip or will it only work with clear one ?
Hey femi, you are talented girl! Can you do a video on how to remove apres nail dupes please. The videos I've found are on how to remove apres nails and some are saying they are easier because of what the apres nails are made of and others are saying the dupes are harder to take off. I actually have these makartt nails and I am just curious how I would remove when ready when doing this method ♥️
Can anyone answer can I use cnd shellac base coat for the apres dupe instead of a builder gel or a gel base coat? I’ve got contact dermatitis from going to a salon that wasn’t very safe on not getting product on my skin and now any gel products make me itch any help with my question would be greatly appreciated.
Hi no worries hun I used base coat gel from Burano, Polygel brand on amazon This base coat comes in their Polygel kits. This video is old so now they have an even better formula in their kits that I use it’s great 💕
I'm a little confused if you don't mind helping what is it you are using to adhere the nail itself to the nail bed is that a glue or I wanna do this method and want to know exactly what it is you use is it just a gel polish ? Would poly gel work to adhere it
These brands of press ons are more tapered than the actual apres nail coffin ones... I tried the ecbasket one and it was concaved on the sides it wasn’t a straight bomb ass coffin the shape was off and the c curve was intense... bad batch maybe?? Idk??
I love your creativity! 😍 I'm just curious, why does it look like your practice hand has skin colored nail plates? Like it has real nails? I have the same hand but mine doesn't look like that 😮
W Shar no because the light won’t shine through it to harden it but if you want to use nail tips that aren’t clear you can just glue them on with regular nail glue
Has anyone else tried these and had issues with clipping these nails? I bought one of the nail clippers specifically for false nails and after I trim them down, the top of the nail begins to crack and end up breaking altogether not long after. Any suggestions?
you should try enailcouture new apres copy gel nails sssoooooo amazing they are fire and you get 250 for only 9;99$ cant beat that with a baseball bat!!!!! love youfemi
Is it not a better idea if the gold star had been bent somewhat more in the nail curve shape? Just a suggestion, I always try to pre-curve (is that even a word? Well, now it is 😜😁) my biggest embellishments that need to be embedded, with the "try" in mind.. Doesn't work with everything.. I wished! Maybe factories can jump into that hole? Maybe if we all shake the business awake together, we get more pre-curved embellishments? Way better for us!! I think? 😶😎👌
And 4 plus 5.. so more people get the chance.. or maybe let some names roll throughout the video! So people stay committed to watch if they were noticed by our precious and o so talented Femi❣😎 And maybe you start a new trend this way, Femi? That would be great! Plus you make many people's days 👍🤗
Damn I thought i was first lol....I found out I was related to my lash and brow tech when her and my mom started talking about where we were from and last names she is related to me thru my great grandmother and in turn the singer ginuwine is my cousin too what a bummer for me because I used to want him sooooo bad lol. The names on my grands side is lumpkin, madison, mack by the way
I simply don't know what I would do without creators like yourself, NikkiP, Kristina Couture, Dipped in Pretty, LHPN, and Emily. I have learned so much from you all and right now it's keeping me sane with all the hatred and toxicity on RUclips and all social media. Thank you so much!
Can't forget long hair pretty nails too
I tried your apres method of applying a base coat with the ezbasket nails and let me tell you they stood on for 3 weeks! I changed the design, cooked, cleaned, banged them and nothing!
😂😂😂 Exactly. Mine stayed on for 5 weeks and my toes. I had to use a drill to sand to the nail bed. Its been 2 weeks since I put another set on.
Divine Charlen'ee ... yeah that’s the only thing about using bases & builder gels it makes the nails last FOREVER‼️ [in my Cardi voice] It’s the worst if you like to switch up. I think I’m going back to glue for press on 🤷🏽♀️😩😂😂
Lol Yup😩 it was a pain to take them off and I don't even have a drill! 🤦♀️
sashajayleen .... 😳😱 I know that was a chore... that have some decent cheap drills on Amazon less than $25 you could even find one less than $20
The steam remover gadget cuts down on some of the time & work also. That & the drill helped I just get impatient 😆. But seriously I would look into those two items.
I can’t stop watching your videos! I literally go back and rewatch your videos.
Omg I love you 😭 I’m about to go my first apres set tomorrow and I was shook.
Yesss I love them..awesome job love!

Excellent video! I've found that a rubber base coat offers me the longest wear time! I dupe Apres as well and find this method fast & easy! I'm almost 63, so girls if I can do it, so can you!
Hi, what rubber base coat do you use...
Omg! Thank you so much for mentioning that. I have a bottle on hand 🤗
I've been following you for 2 year as I was pregnant and I tried everything you put out just about i say that because I was happy to get the gel tips and did the lazy girl method and I love it 😀 😊 💕
Your ideas are great I’m not gonna lie I’m totally hooked on your channel and I’ve been spending a fortune trying to build my at home nail salon cause you so inspired me and I’m really loving it so thanks so much 😜💝
SAME!!! 🤩😍💝💖🥳
So what do you use for them to stay glued to the nail??? The base coat or top coat?
zury gomez base cost
Very cute design 💕
Hi love ur vids be are love I be did find that base coat does not at all work for more then 5 days I have to use hard gel sooo I was wondering if u use no any thing else I'm not catching??????? Lmk thanks babe n again ur vids are amazing....please lmk tho I'm in need of help with this doupe????????
They look beautiful Femi your nails are so cute too you know me and pink it’s my favourite nail colour I love it, awesome work dear have a beautiful evening Femi👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🥰🥰🥰💗💓💞💝💕💖
How did you get your nails in the video like that? That drip glitter effect 🤩🥳🥰😘
So happy your doing press ons!! I love your press on nail videos😍😍
So cute! loving the glam Wonder Woman vibe it’s different! ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟
Do you put them under the light on each layer. I want to learn:)
Could I use this application method with any tips? Like even if they’re already prepainted tips?
Mhum
Pika Chu would curing longer help in that case or would the opacity of the color prevent it from curing indefinitely you think?
Love the mystery! And you explain the apres technique so simply thank you. Also you sounded more upbeat and happy in this video.
You are awesome! My favorite to watch and learn from by far! I purchased the tresshe nail kit using your code also. So thank you!
Can we use poly gel instead of builder gel?
Hi gorgeous what exactly gel is good to use? You did such a beautiful job!♥️♥️♥️♥️
Do you have a video on how to safely remove apres dupe nails?
just soak them in acetone. it's just gel nail polish. You can also file them off like anything but soaking is more gentle and healthier.
I like the mystery design idea😍🤗
First three minutes of this is mindblowing. . 😍 so informative
Omg how pretty. 👍❤. Femi do you cure each layer of 7 individually? I asked because Im worried about the bubbling
Also I did a regular coat and it stayed on for 5 weeks. I was scared because the nails were hard to get off 😂😂😂 my feet and hand lol. I had to use the drill to the nail bed. I used the Makartt base and no wipe top.
Do you use the base or top coat to adhere the false tip to the nail bed?
You can add the builder gel right on top of the false nail ?
Mystery designs again yes please!!!! Also I miss the mystery wheel lol but I understand why you wouldn't want to bring it back 😂
Do you wipe the sticky layer off base gel after every layer or do you just cure between base coat layers?
So just checking, that you use the base coat instead of the glue that comes with the nails to make them last longer?
Yes sis! I’m here for it
Is it base gel you are applying on the fake nail and the real nail (pressing together) or is it builder gel ? I want to try this but im confused ! Thank You ! (Im a beginner sorry if this is a stupid question) 😄
Hey beautiful l love your work. Can you tell me actually which practice hand you have from Red Iguana which one?
What did you use to stick on the nail?
Hey Femi, instead of colored gel can you use a regular polish?
Can you use polygel to make it thick
So so so thankful for this technique!! I use base coat & polygel to adhere the nails on💕
Kathy McDowell how ? Please do tell. Whenever I do my girls nails it always pop off. Not even lasting a whole week sometimes.
@@xxashleycutexx pretty much just like the gel system. Lay the polygel base coat down, rough up the tip, small amount of polygel. Ive got videos on my channel💕
Kathy McDowell I just subscribed and watched it. Thank you. Do you think it will work if I use the natural color full tip or will it only work with clear one ?
@@xxashleycutexx wow cool thanks! If Im going for a clear look or "natural" look I use the clear, pink, or nude
Thanks for the tip and I subscribed to your channel to 🙂
So flawless, I need to try this!

That fake hand has more bomb nails then my own haa
Joni B then your own haa
Thanks for the shout out Femi!!! You pronounced my name exactly, yassssss. Always love your channel.
Can anyone answer can I use cnd shellac base coat for the apres dupe instead of a builder gel or a gel base coat? I’ve got contact dermatitis from going to a salon that wasn’t very safe on not getting product on my skin and now any gel products make me itch any help with my question would be greatly appreciated.
what brand of Gel do you put on the nails and nail bed to secure/glue the nail on ? please sorry if that's a dumb question
Hi no worries hun I used base coat gel from Burano, Polygel brand on amazon
This base coat comes in their Polygel kits. This video is old so now they have an even better formula in their kits that I use it’s great 💕
Do u cure? The white gel polish and then refile
These came out great but gotta admit I couldn't stop staring at YOUR nails! Ugh I'm in looove! 😍
This is so pretty🥰 I've only seen the après dupe done with clear nails. Will this not work with the natural colored nails?
Do you soak off with acetone
These are too cute sis!!! Tysmfs Love ya sis!!! 💅🥰💯
You use the base coat to adhere the tip to the bed? The way you worded it you said base and top coat so I'm confused 🤔
You make it look so easy 😅 my nails always have air bubbles in them
Your videos are so informative but I can never get my Apres dupe to not lift
I'm a little confused if you don't mind helping what is it you are using to adhere the nail itself to the nail bed is that a glue or I wanna do this method and want to know exactly what it is you use is it just a gel polish ? Would poly gel work to adhere it
How do you get the nails off without damaging both your nails and the fake nails?
Omg this is brilliant!!
The gel being a base gel?
I tried this and the press ons just popped off like dual forms and it was only the gel stayed on
These brands of press ons are more tapered than the actual apres nail coffin ones... I tried the ecbasket one and it was concaved on the sides it wasn’t a straight bomb ass coffin the shape was off and the c curve was intense... bad batch maybe?? Idk??
Lily S mine were the same way
Taylor Adams get the ECBasket long stiletto and cut the tips it’s the PERFECT COFFIN shape
How many sizes come in the bag and how many nails per size
I love your creativity! 😍
I'm just curious, why does it look like your practice hand has skin colored nail plates? Like it has real nails? I have the same hand but mine doesn't look like that 😮
Hi I am trying to get the same hand from Red Iguana but which hand is it?
@@LifeOfTrishaa I have the posable half hand in the color April 😊
@@chaozinga Ok thank you so much.
Need to try this
Love 'em. The lasso was cool.
How did u make a nail bed for your hand??
Do you use base cost to glue the nail or a gel
Sophie Cruz base coat
Would we be able to do this with natural tips instead of clear tips ?
I meant natural press on instead of clear. Thank you.
Can you put a soak-off builder gel over the top of these tips rather than layers of gel polish?
Your nails are super pretty too.
Yes
Is there acrylic on the bed?
How do you take them off? Soak?
just seen houston by your title 😍 are you in houston !!! and do you work on other peoples nails ??? 😍
I love it....!!!👍🏻❣️
What did you use to place the nails down? It didn’t look like glue.
she said its gel, she cured it in a lamp so it stays longer
Love youuu🥰💖💖💖
Do you think I can use the non clear nail tips?
W Shar no because the light won’t shine through it to harden it but if you want to use nail tips that aren’t clear you can just glue them on with regular nail glue
Please do a Harley Quinn pink and blue inspired set
Has anyone else tried these and had issues with clipping these nails? I bought one of the nail clippers specifically for false nails and after I trim them down, the top of the nail begins to crack and end up breaking altogether not long after. Any suggestions?
After each layer you apply do you cure it?
Yes
Mine popped off next day what did i do wrong
Lovely nails 💖💅
How long does this stay for?
doesn’t the nail pop off after curing the gel underneath?
dilli dallyyy ... Heck Noooo!! It cements it there 😂😂
What gel did she use to stick it on
With this brand do you experience lifting?
YYYYYYYYYAAAASSSSSS SIS!!!!!’💋💋💋

yaya Barbie base coat gel to bond! I love this method so easy and quick 💕🙌🏽
Can you do white french tip on yourself next time?
Is it not a better idea if the gold star had been bent somewhat more in the nail curve shape? Just a suggestion, I always try to pre-curve (is that even a word?

I like the nails.

I always lose the shape after I cap with builders gel, ugh so annoying. Then Sometimes I file through the glitter when I'm reshaping ...
Love you
