Mine have lasted 3 weeks. Love it. I never get 3 weeks with any other system had nails for about 20 years. Acrylic, gel or dipping I always get lifting. No lifting at all.
For doing this on yourself with no help, the easiest way to cure nails is to turn the lamp on auto, whereas the lamp is on without having hands inside. Also it helps if you have a lamp with a removable base. Remove the base and push the lamp toward the edge of the table. This way you can cure without trying to hold the lamp and can focus on pressing the nail tip on the nail bed to remove air bubbles. I hope this makes sense.
Thank you for sharing this method !! I didn't see your update on these , did they last long for you? Did they soak off easily? Did you have any lifting? Or did they last 2weeks or more? Tyfs✨😍
I just knew you were a Trini when I heard you talking! I got the Apres Gel X done but I figured I could do it myself because I like the simplicity of the system.
I tried this once so far and it lasted 3 days. It started to do that thing that fake press ons do where it was slightly lifting at the base so hair was getting caught. so none of them broke off and were weak it was just majoirty of them where lifting at points and it was easy for me to take a card and remove them. I used primer, protein bonder, & Base coat from what I can tell I did everything in this video EXCEPT rough up the inside of the nail tip. I do also have naturally very flat nails theres hardly an Apex. I do also clean houses for a living and had cleaned 2 houses while wearing these so i know thatll make it not last as long. When I get nails professionally done if im LUCKY they last two weeks. I am really trying to get these to last a week..if they can last a week ill be happy im just envious of people that say they last 3 weeks! ill rough up the inside of the nail and try again tonight.
I had the same issue but I found that curing under a stronger light and e-filing areas around the cuticle after application helped me a lot. All my sets last 3+ weeks now. 💕
I bought the wrong tips but I found another video like this one and my first set lasted maybe 3 days but my second one lasted a 1.5 and I got tired of them so now on my third! I recommend starting on your non dominant hand and thumbs last!
Hi can you do a video possibly with acrylic doing it this way essentially you shouldn’t have to buff the inside of the nail tip as acrylic fuses automatically should be a bit easier as well without the lamp love to see this video
Just clip them down, use a file to break the surface and soak off like you would gel polish. Except if you used hard gel instead of sculpting gel the only way is to file them down.
I love this. No need to drop all that cash for basically the same results. I was checking out buying the Apres on amazon and I know you can buy everything piece by piece. But this is so much easier.
I literally just finished mine today after watching babygirl nails and ivy. Polygel where 😳😳😳 This was soooooo much easier! Mine aren't perfect because I didn't have a pocket uv light or help, but I know what to do for next time. And..... I didn't have to spend $140, I already had all the products 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I love the shape of your nails, I'm going to order some soon. Great video!!!! You came in my suggested ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Taylor why you always playing with me??? LMAO!! I dead JUST did this on my self and had one hell of a time trying to get rid of the air pockets on my nails. I didn't have anyone to help me with the light. LOVE it!
Hola, ¿se puede adherir el tip a la uña natural con hard gel clear ibd? Yo tengo ese :-) ¿o debe ser un gel suave? /// Hello, can you add the tip to the natural nail with hard gel clear ibd? I have that :-) or should it be a soft gel?
ella braswell id say you can I use clear builder gels over my gel x tips and it works just fine! So I assume acrylic will work too just scuff up the surface shine!
How long did they last? Would you do these on a client? I’ve been thinking on doing them on my clients when they’d rather not get acrylics? 🤗 great video btw! 💕
Yes it works.. I have been creating my big toe nails this same way using polygel for over a year they last a little over a month on my toes.. then they start to lift, but I have no nail to adhere to..
Mine didn’t work! :( I didn’t use dehydrator or primer, would that be why? I used the same Makart nails and a builder gel from AliExpress (that Jamie used) by Fengshangmei in the color clear.
Yes you need to clean the nail with alcohol as the dehydrator but you must prime the nail it's like you are prepping for Acrylic or gel application sweetie
as it was with this system, I have time applying it and I am very happy using my gels as the hard gel clear Venalisa with that I stick the tips to my nails 5 weeks zero detachment. If you can apply acrylic on the tips just pass the bofer so that the acrylic sticks well it works like any nail only the tips do not stick with the glue tips and always do the Russian manicure bone dry, very good video thanks for sharing and I hope you tell us how it went with the system 😊😊😊
Tiger'sPrey Nails Thanks so much suga! I’m excited to see how they last myself. Saturday will be one week and they are well intact still 💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾🤗 so far so good
I did this with orly builder in the bottle and again with orly bodyguard (because that's what I had on hand). Both lasted for 2 weeks without lifting. But I think any soft builder gel will work. Also, if you dont care about the ability to soak off, any hard builder gel will do as well.
By Natasha Oh nice I’m happy to hear they lasted hun. You’re totally correct huni any builder should work. If it’s hard or soak off gel is a personal choice
Aww TY SO much for the shout out doll. You did a fab job. Can't wait to see how long these last because I used the actual gel x tips. They are still on and it's been almost 4 weeks. I am so impressed....Yours looks and turned out amazing. tfs xoxox
BabygirlNails No problem at all huni your video is awesome as well. Those tips alone in my currency is $245ttd plus customs fees I refuse 😂. 4 weeks is fantastic these will be 1 week on Saturday and still going I’m pushing to keep them on for 1 month wish me luck 🙈. Thanks huni & 🥰tfw
Note to all, before applying your base gels on your nails etc to have your tips already buffed out otherwise you will have flying debris which could stick to the gel you have already applied to your nail x
I have a question, I am self taught, and try my best to write out every step, then read from it when I do my nails. The problem I KEEP having, is I have a UV lamp, and it says to cure each coat 2 minutes, base, #1, #2, then Top coat, within 24 hours my cuticles swell up and literally burst. It is soooooo painful and I don't know what I'm doing wrong have YOU or any of your readers ever heard of such a thing? Any all tips, ideas, fixes sooooo appreciated! Pinky
ladiiijaguar19 Yes Jamie infill video is awesome however my nails aren’t any where close to filling lol but I will definitely do one when they are huni 💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾
Has anyone tried this with a thin thin layer of poly gel... using press on nails that are already polished and jeweled out? I’m thinking of trying this... but wondered if anyone has tried this?

Mine have lasted 3 weeks. Love it. I never get 3 weeks with any other system had nails for about 20 years. Acrylic, gel or dipping I always get lifting. No lifting at all.
Hi, do i need to wipe the sticky layer of gel after curing on my nails, prior to applying full cover nail? Thanks

Great idea. I was just going to buy a pocket uv and put it in my mouth 😂😊😂😂. You just saved me some coins lol
@@VividRose great idea
Its not easy by yourself, my kids help me with lamp. Hard when not home lol
You can also put your lamp (without the bottom) higher like on a box. I found that easier.
Cute little hand. ❤ It was so delightful to see that😀
Just adored that cute little hand helping Mommy! I want one too to assist😂😂😂
Ikr is amazing 🥰☺️
I just tried this and all I can say is GAME CHANGER!!!
Mine didn’t work! :( I didn’t use the dehydrator and primer, is that why?

A great video..Going to try these.
Looks so easy..I suck at filing, so this method looks great for me!
Awwww your little helper😍😍😍😍😍
I love the results. I dont mind how long it takes to do it. This is something I enjoy doing...

I’m happy to hear you love the idea huni! I’m definitely trying to push them to a fill 🙈😂 wish me luck. I’d definitely do an updated date soon💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾
These nails require a complete soak off and reapplication because it’s a full cover nail.

Thank you for this video I've been wanting to try these nails myself, but the price is just a little too high for too high for me.
Very informative. I don't even do nails, yet i continue to watch. Keep being glamorous 💅🎀
Karena Jagan Thanks bunches suga I appreciate that so much 😍🥰💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾
Do you think I can use polygel to stick them
This is soo cool..I think I'll be trying this method💅💅..thanks hunni😘

How would you remove this since it’s in gel nails?🧐

sandra ramirez 2-3 weeks
Is she using clear polygel to stick them? If so I have all this at home!
Vivid Rose which gel did you end up using and do you still use this method?
@@laurar1248 I just used a bling gel
Taylor why you always playing with me??? LMAO!! I dead JUST did this on my self and had one hell of a time trying to get rid of the air pockets on my nails. I didn't have anyone to help me with the light. LOVE it!
I have some gel that I want to test out using this method . Just gotta get full coverage tips . It came out really nice . I like the milky look .
NaturallySimone that’s so awesome can’t wait to hear how it turns out suga. 🤗 this method is life 💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾
Is it Clear polygel she’s using to adhere the nails?
Hello, awesome videos, do you have any video showing how to remove this method? Is it the same process as Gel X?
What is the name of the madam glam gel polish color your using in the video?
Okay im curious. Doesnt the sticky layer of gel prevents the tip from sticking to the nail? Like dual forms...?
This video is amazing! I already own all of the supplies! I only have the the IBD gel, so do I need to apply a gel base coat before?
Thanks for the video! I think I'll just buy the gel-x tips and use the jewlery gel and gel topcoat at home
Hugh Jass i was thinking of doing that as well, because cheaper tips tend to crack. let me know how it went!
Is the madam glam base soak off

Hi maam do the tip covers have to be clear or can i also use natural shade full cover tips??
Great video, I am excited to try this method. Come back and let us know how long they lasted for you...Tfs!
How do you remove these
Does the gel not have a sticky layer to wipe off?
If you didn’t have an electric nail file how would you file the tip x
It's always nice to have a lil helper 😉
Mandi Coleman ikr totally! 🤗
do you use a builder gel to stick these on? ❤️
Would this work using polygel? 🤔
Sam Hugh I’m going to try it. I’m just going to buff the inside of the nail so they stick
AppleAmor let us know how it works!
Beautiful set
Thanks suga🤗💅🏾
Hi can I use the natural color tips
How well did these last? :)
Girl.... thank you for this video!!!!!!
Beautiful job!
Ooh I've been thinking of doing this!!! But im letting my natural nails grow so I dont want to mess them up 💅💅

How long did they last
💅🏾 they came out good thanks for sharing
Thanks much sweetie you’re so welcome 🤗💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾
The nails are full nails as they cover the entire nails
And not the tip. So do you use tips, dual forms, or full nails?
GiGi Merced there are different types out there French tips, half well tip and full cover tips, these are full covered tips 💜
Can I use the gel x nails as regular tips with my acrylic. I have 3 boxes of gel x stiletto and coffin nails but I want acrylic tips though.
ella braswell id say you can I use clear builder gels over my gel x tips and it works just fine! So I assume acrylic will work too just scuff up the surface shine!
@@talarkevorkian thankyou. I'm about to try it now. I wish I could do nails good like you. I guess its ok to wish. Lol
Can these tips be glued with regular top coat gel? I don't have builder gel. Or would gluing them with acrylic be better?
Base coat gel. Top coat won't stick them on. Base coat is best. Polygel works too just make sure you rough up that nail really well.
Thank you for sharing I definitely would like to try this method.
Great video!!! Thank you for sharing! 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻
since the false nail had such a defined apex and you have flat nails did you just add more gel to fill in that portion under the nail?
All Things Janella Yepp! I had too hun.
How long did they last? Would you do these on a client? I’ve been thinking on doing them on my clients when they’d rather not get acrylics? 🤗 great video btw! 💕
Vicky Guerrero you can do this on clients
What gel is that ?
Very helpful thank you 💞💞
Do you think this would work using polygel? Thanks for the vid!
