Also it depends on the quality of the gel polish. I use Arte Clavo, MTSSII gel and Born Pretty cheapo Ebay gel polish. Budget girls can't spend £14/$18 on a 10 ml/8oz tiny bottle! Silcare Color It! is a really good budget brand! Tip is to use a good base and a good topcoat! And add 3-6 topcoats! To encapsulate the polish and prevent dings and chips! UK 🇬🇧 26.12.23
Beautiful what a pretty colour that is...I've heard wonderful thing's about Madam Glam but as yet I don't own any of their product's...maybe one day lol...thankyou for sharing Kate xo 💜💅💜
thank you for posting a video on short nails. They look fabulous. I noticed that when you were painting the free edge you had some polish on your skin. At what stage do you remove it and what with? thanks )
Thank you for posting a short nail tutorial! It’s so hard to find a short nail tutorial without extensions!
Love natural nail tutorials!

Beautiful result. How do you avoid getting polish on the finger tip when you’re sealing of the edges?
Thank you! I recommend wetting a small brush with some acetone to clean the finger tip if any polish gets on the skin!

i remove any polish that is on the skin before curing! thanks for your support :)
Nádhernéééé)))))
After the 2nd coat of gel polish you don’t cure it for 30 seconds ? You just put the top coat on & then you cure it ?
i cured the gel after each coat!
Do you cure after the base coat ?
yes! all layers of gel including the base and top need to be cured.
Hi quick question is the topcoat and basecoat really the same product?
hi! they are definitely different products, and i recommend you have both.
How long does this last?
I find my gel manicures usually last 2-2.5 weeks before chipping or looking grown out!
❤Hi did you air dry or did you put under a gel dryer?
Hi! Under a uv/led lamp. ♥️
@katesnails cool thank you for helping me save money
thanks
Thanks
But no UV
Awes
♥️☺️♥️
So NO gel polish machine necessary for these, WOW!! So the key then is to purchase gel nail polish that doesn’t need a machine to set it?!?
Hi! So these do need a uv or led lamp in order to cure (dry). There are some really great cheap options on amazon that work well!
@@katesnails Oh ok I was confused because you didn’t show one in your video, I was hoping for a step by step, thanks though.
Rule of thumb. All gel needs a light. If it does not need a UV lamp to set then it is not gel polish.
