Without a doubt I can say that you are the nail artist I have learned from the most - you don't gatekeep and you love to share your methods thank you so much! 💗💗
I use apres natural tips and love them for press ons. I used to do gel-x but completely stopped after making myself press ons. They are definitely worth it, you’re gonna love them!
Omggggg girl I just recently switched to Apres too for the same reason. Ok, so when yours comes in I’m going to see what you think about them as well. I’ll be making some sets with them this week but I can tell you the first thing I noticed was the strength, thickness and superior quality.
Just to mention if I’m not mistaken the XL on up only comes in sculpted and for press ons I think the natural is better. What I’ve done is bought a popular 3XL brand on Amazon cut them down to for an XL, 2XL, etc size and attach tips if need be for any other shape besides square.
If i could just master the french technique!!!! I watched your video several times and was feeling defeated. But you said you were at first too but keep trying. So I'm going to do one set of French tips every day until it looks as great as yours!
You inspired me to get started on my own nails. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us! I hope one day I’m able to be as good as you are! You are truly amazing 💜 also, knock on wood, but I haven’t had any issues with the Makartt rhinestone glue, and I am the queen of smacking my hands against things 😅 but I’m definitely generous with it whenever I use it. Thank you again!!
I can say one of my top struggle with nails is rhinestones adhering. My charms/rhinestones also sometimes pop off with both makartt gel glued u mentioned.
I use makartt and the method I swear by is place your rhinestone glue then top coat without setting any stones/charms in it or putting in the lamp. Now add your bling and then set in the lamp I found this way to work wonders! (I hope I made sense lol)
I was gonna only use apres as well but they don’t have longer lengths. What I realized is a lot of brands don’t so I need to figure out something for that
omg i’ve also been wanting to switch to apres from my amazon tips hehe i saw they have those bundles so you can get them at a discounted price! you can get like 3-4 boxes for like $99 i think so i think it’s a steal for quality tips! and then we can also order refills for tips we only need and not hv to buy more boxes 😂
awwwwww thanks! i appreciate you too! you have been my go to for press on nail advice and tips ❤ idk what i would do without you tbh 😭 make sure to take care of yourself ❤
Makartt works well for me. But I prefer Zulay’s bling adhesive. You can use her adhesive activator to dry the glue quicker. Or she has a cluster gel as well similar to makartts gel glue.
ON THE GLUE QUESTION; I LIKE USING LGN PRO RHINESTONE GLUE. I FREL LIKE ZULAY'S BLING ADHESIVE IS EFFECTIVE, BUT LEAVES THE WHITE CRUST AND ALSO SEEMS TO DIM THE SHINE OF MY PRECIOSA/SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL RHINESTONES. I LIKE USING ZULAY'S FOR BIGGER CHARMS AND THAT THE SPARKLIER ONE'S ISN'T GONNA BE EFFECTED BY THE GLUE, ALSO HER CLUSTER WORKS WELL, BUT LEAVES A STICKY LAYER AFTERWARDS. LGN PRO RHINESTONES GLUE WORKS GREAT, AND DOESN'T LEAVE BEHIND A TACKY LAYER. CUZ I USUALLY TOP COAT MY NAILS B4 BLING AND ACCESSORIES. THE ONLY FLAW, IS THAT U MUST USE A GENEROUS AMOUNT AND DONT LEAVE THE LID OPEN UNDER LED LIGHTS. IT SEMI CURES AND I WAISTED A WHOLE BOTTLE ONCE. LOL. I LIKE MAKARTT BUT MY GEMS ALWAYS FALL OFF NOST OF THE TIME, BUT BY MAKARTT I JUST LOOOOVE THE SOLID NAIL GLUE GEL FOR CLUSTER BLING AND LARGE CHARMS. (MOSTLY I USE IT FOR CLUSTERS). I HOPE THIS HELPS.
I was just wondering if you have considered making the full cover tips yourself. Kirsty Meakin makes a a product called fantasy nail forms that can be re used infinity to make nail stuffs. Before such things existed I have ran out of things and made my own using a both tips and full covers with acrylic, gel and hybrid gel. Just a weird random thought I had that could either stop your frustration with inconsistent sizes or if you found it easy solve a problem. I haven’t been a nail tech since 1996 and only do my own nails now but I didn’t find it difficult. You are a very talented person btw
Hi I love your work and I've learned so many things from your videos, and this set is amazing, but one question, how do you apply your filling technique to this almond shape? And I just ordered some apres nails too for the first time, can't wait to hear what you think of them, all love ❤
These turned out amazing!! Just recently discovered you and have been binging all the videos! I have a question, I’m interested in getting into gel polishes and press ons for myself only but I’m worried about potentially getting an acrylate allergy… I’m set on some polish brands I want to use (mostly Korean ones that don’t sell their own lamps), but am lost with lamps. Would you be willing to share what lamp you use to cure your press ons?
I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED 3 VIDEOS, I DIDN'T EVEN GET NOTIFIED, IDK WHY, I HAVE MY NOTIFICATION ON "ALL". THIS MAKES ME SO SAD, I HATE BEING LATE TO UR VIDEOS, I JUST LOVE UR CONTENT SOOO MUCH, AND I LOVE LISTENING TO U TALK. MAKES ME SO SAD WHEN I MISS ANYTHING U DO.😢😢 BTW THESE ARE GORGEOUS!! IM BINGE WATCHING UR VIDEOS TAAADDAAAYY! HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!! ❤
maybe i'm wrong?? but i thought you had tried out some nailzbydev full cover tips and really liked the size variety of those. do you have an update on that or did you change your mind? again i might be wrong in thinking that but i could have sworn you mentioned those previously.
Hi! I did and I do love them but I noticed a few of her shapes have sold out and when I checked last they werent re stocked 🥹 I need to be able to have access to purchase all shapes and refill tips when I need to asap BUT I do think im going to stick with nailzbydev for all of my extra long square tips 🎉🥳 because apres extra long are sculpted and nailzbydev arent 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 which is way better for press ons 💕
I think those resin butterflies with those kinda protruding wings really get different type of pressure and stress on them due to their shape so at least those might pop off more easy. I know they are really popular right now, but personally I have not ordered them cause I don't trust the shape lol
You’re absolutely right! I have a love hate relationship with those! They get caught on EVERYTHING and they end up getting yanked off in 3-5 days. But they’re so cute it’s almost worth it? lol
I have a question 🙋🏽♀️ how do you make sure that the cuticle part of the nail isn’t too thick? When I make my own press ons I find that if I layer too much the cuticle area is super thick, and when I apply to my nails it looks so unnatural and like a press on. Any way to prevent this?
Without a doubt I can say that you are the nail artist I have learned from the most - you don't gatekeep and you love to share your methods thank you so much! 💗💗
I use apres natural tips and love them for press ons. I used to do gel-x but completely stopped after making myself press ons. They are definitely worth it, you’re gonna love them!
Just what I needed to wind down for the evening. I love listening to you talk! Your talent is beyond comprehension 💕✨ you go girl! Ty for your posts.
Could you please do an in-depth video on layering nude to get certain colors,please?
These are truly amazing

@@i_walkbyfaithyess ! My plan is to use nailzbydev tips for all XL XXL lengths because hers aren’t sculpted 😍😍😍
And then apres for all others

I have never had a problem with the Makartt rhinestone glue. It is my fav.

Lizzette’s LGNPro rhinestone gel is very good it’s in a pot very user friendly I love it!
Exactly what I was coming to suggest.
I recently purchased the lgn pro no-wipe bling gel, but I haven't used it yet.

Can you do a video on your apres tips when you get them in the mail. Thank you so much ❤❤
Love these nails

I like Zulay bling gule and Acttorvateter
Just found your channel you make some beautiful press on nails, also you have a new
subscriber 😄💗💗

Hi! I’d love to know what you use on your display for the nail tips to stick to it ?

pretty pretty
This might be a dumb question but how do you clean the gel polish off your thin brush?
Makartt rhinestone gel works for me, but I also top coat over my rhinestones because it doesn't bother me.
I see you have a sale for set with charms! I hope you upload some of those, in desperate need for some cute inspo (hope alot!)
I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED 3 VIDEOS, I DIDN'T EVEN GET NOTIFIED, IDK WHY, I HAVE MY NOTIFICATION ON "ALL".
THIS MAKES ME SO SAD, I HATE BEING LATE TO UR VIDEOS, I JUST LOVE UR CONTENT SOOO MUCH, AND I LOVE LISTENING TO U TALK. MAKES ME SO SAD WHEN I MISS ANYTHING U DO.😢😢
BTW THESE ARE GORGEOUS!! IM BINGE WATCHING UR VIDEOS TAAADDAAAYY! HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!! ❤
I tried the makartt rhinestone glue and it didn't work for me but I really like the beetles rhinestone glue and it's good for 3d art too!
maybe i'm wrong?? but i thought you had tried out some nailzbydev full cover tips and really liked the size variety of those. do you have an update on that or did you change your mind? again i might be wrong in thinking that but i could have sworn you mentioned those previously.

BUT I do think im going to stick with nailzbydev for all of my extra long square tips 🎉🥳 because apres extra long are sculpted and nailzbydev arent 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 which is way better for press ons 💕
Hi, I love your videos and your work. What brush sets would you recommend, I need a good brush set. lol
My brushes ! 😝🥰🥰 coming soon .. 🤫
I love apres but I have to say I have a hard time with adherence with how sculpted they are. Especially for those with flat beds.
I think those resin butterflies with those kinda protruding wings really get different type of pressure and stress on them due to their shape so at least those might pop off more easy. I know they are really popular right now, but personally I have not ordered them cause I don't trust the shape lol
So true !

Which way are painting towards
First 💕
Use builder gel. You’ll have to drill them off😂
