Honestly I just spent almost $150 on supplies on Amazon and that’s everything I need to do my own nails which literally would cost me $150 alone so I’m excited to do them my own! Because recently I haven’t liked my nails and they would over buff them
I just bought $150 worth of supplies so I can do my own nails as well. Tired of shody jobs at the salons, I always leave with bloody cuticles and chonky nails wondering why I paid $75 for such a crappy job. I'm excited to get started, and play around with colors ane textures and become a DIY naik girlie!
Okay!!! I came back to say I watched the video about a month ago, followed the steps with other products to the T, primed the tips as well and applied the tips leaving a small space between the cuticle and the nail. The filled the space with BIAB, cleaned the cuticule area with acetone and proceeded with the color. My nails are on now +4 weeks… this is the first time I try gel X nails and there is no pop offs or lifting at all whatsoever. Thank you very much for your instructions.
Kaylie you inspired me to do my nails at home. I watched all your videos and started doing them. It's been three weeks since I started doing it on my own. Just yesterday I finished doing my nails. It came out really good. I followed one of your tutorials 😂 luv ya❤
You do a fantastic job! Im a retired nail tech and only just tried my first set of gelx. You do a MUCH job better than I did. Your tips and info are perfect and correct. Your french painting is spot on! Your vid is just as good as, if not better than pro tutorials. So impressed!! 😍
I have watched ALOT of nail tutorials and yours is by far the most informative. Im a newbie to nails and to your YT. Keep up the great work. Cannot wait to do my nails now. TFS
I loveeee your content! You won me over with your vulnerability in your video talking about depression. I am struggling with losing my dad in Feb and your video gave me hope that I can find ways to help myself get out of this depression. ❤ I hope you’re feeling better too! 💕
Thank you kayli for getting me into gel x nails!! 🥰 I've been following your videos to learn and my nails last 4 weeks (they'd last longer but I take them off cos of the regrowth)
@@abikyy mine was under 100, the set I bought was 40 and it had a lot of nail polish, tools, decorations, and the uv lamp (the one for your entire hand). separately I had to buy a nail lamp for only 1 finger, nail glue, cuticle remover, and nail tips, (I also bought other stuff like gem stones becuase I didn’t like the ones that came with the set).
@@abikyyI got 42$ of beetles sets on Amazon! i got a single finger LED lamp w/ the extensions, and files + glue and etc. I also got a color set, and blooming gel for designs! i tried my first full set recently, and it’s been on for around a week! i didn’t do the tips she used so I have had to redo some! ill update u
I really love this vid cause it reminds me of the first ever vid i ever saw of yours, i love your vids so much they bring me comfort and joy never stop making videos kayli!!!!
I was wondering why my nails popped off in less than a week and the polish itself would get indentations even with a top coat. Turns out I only had the tiny UV cure lamp so they weren’t getting fully cured! I purchased a proper one & now they look just like salon quality! I’ll have to update this comment in a week or few and see how long they last! My next step is tackling the cuticle area. I keep flooding it with glue or top coat bc it’s hard to see how much you’ve put on or if you’ve missed a spot.
I recently switch from liquid gel nail glue to solid gel glue and that’s helped my nails last so much longer too. Plus I find it much easier to use and to wipe away any mistakes
Ommgg, you are beyond gorgeous! Such a kind soul and mind, and we can see it from those green eyes, I love you so much, you are my comfort person and you videos acctualy help me so much, plese never quit being the way you are and sharing your feelings and thoughts! You are loved and enough! 💞🤍
you make doing a French tip so easy! I feel I could do this.. I'm going to try on my next gel x application :) Thanks for the video. Keep up the beautiful work!
I absolutely love your tutorials because like you I get tired of going and paying crazy amount of money At salons and I ended up getting two nails with green spots so now I don’t trust them. So thank you so much because I’m new to this and your tutorials are the best!
you've helped me so much, I can tell a difference after taking your tips! I think a video showing all your nail supplies would be super helpful (if you haven't already)!!
I have atopic dermatitis, I can't even dream about having synthetic material of any kind on my nails, but I honestly just enjoy listening to your voice and watching you Girlhood ❤❤❤❤
im so glad you mention developing contact dermitis! i sadly developed it and found a way around using gels without reacting. but noone mentioned it when i first started!
@@jauntyjackie367 i have to be super careful not to touch the gel, so i use gloves at all time until everything has been cured. Basically i just paint falsies, cure them and then glue them on with nail glue. (Once everything is cured you can touch them with no problems)!!
@@jauntyjackie367 not original commenter but i use hema free gels! i like sundara nails, esp their gel glue for tips! i find that if im using tips, i can usually use regular gel on top for the nail art and stuff, but def experiment for you!
That is not how you get contact dermatitis. Contact dermatitis is when your skin comes in contact with an substance your body may be slightly allergic to; it then causes a rash. Gel can not seep through your nail into your skin. It can get onto your skin AROUND your nail but not under.
Gel contact dermatitis occurs when you come in contact with the uncured gel over a longer period of time. If you keep getting it on your skin you might get allergic over time. Some never have a reaction, and some are allergic from the first contact. If the nails are thin enough, i believe it can seep through the nail which is why its so important to cure all the way!
Btw the new apres comes with half sizes and the cuticle is so flush, you don't need to file down the cuticle area at all. I save a bunch of time since buying the revamp.
Judging by the *just a girl* thing, your disclaimers, step by step explanations, products used, the *I'm cooler on youtube* thing... you are definitely a watcher of The Beauty Vault (irina)
I absolutely love your videos. You have helped me through my beginning process of doing my own nails and I continue to learn more from your tips and tricks. The main problem I have that I can't seem to figure out, is how to make that sheer pinky color for french tips, not to look cloudy/streaky. Any helpful comments?
Have you tried polygel nails? I would really really love a video of you doing them 🥺 cause you can explain everything so well and it's always a big help for us. So thank you for this 🖤🥺
Have to try your method. I decided to stop wasting my money at nail salons where they file my nails so thin. Got into press on and now want to do gel x. Got my big UV lamp yesterday.
Hi! You are one of the best nail TH-camrs ever (in my opinion don’t come at me) and you have latterly inspired me to do my own nails at home and I’m only 14! I was wondering if you could test out the Una Gella gel nail extensions and gel glue I also the the flash light that come with it! I’m not sure if it’s good or not but I was wondering if you could review it for me!
❤Kayli you’re the best, thank you ☺️…. Can you please tell me how to avoid acrylic nails going yellow, after eating food, etc …. help please? 🥴❤ Hoping you can do a video on these tips, etc
I LOVE gel extension nails so much because they last 2+ weeks for me! However, I recently switch to Apres since I wanted to “level up” my nail products, but I *swear* they only last a week for me 😭 I have no idea what I’m doing wrong because I’ve done gel extension for an entire year and never had problems. I make sure to properly prep my cuticles, dehydrate, etch the gel extensions and yet they don’t last. Does this happen to anyone else? If anyone has recommendation, please let me know!
The prime color mixing thing is a HACK. I'm off to buy prime colors. I usually only want the extra colors for tips and designs so that's better than buying 50 bottles of different shades. LOVE!
Omg..yesss...I started hating going in...especially wen it was time to get new set...they'd be so impatient and literally peeeeel and rip them off my nail...never again...from now on self care...me time. Thank u 💓
@@Ksensibello Thank you sooo much!! I know in this video you showed your hard gel, but I have a soft builder gel so that's why I was curious! I'll probably start doing that now too since it protects your natural nails so much!! ☺
I lost my very first cuticle pusher I loved it so much so I ordered another one and now it looks like yours I hate it so much it's so thick I'm so happy I have a drill! Because it's supposed to be even on the back part of the scraper but it kinda looks like an arrow head. So even that out to look like a straight back then file the edge to look like a knife in the front it's like they got lazy to fix it but it's all good. Nail drills are key!
Hey Kayli, have you ever thought about doing gel x toes? Perhaps these would also be helpful because there aren't many videos on the topic but many people do it or want to do it. What do you think?
ur content is AMAZING Im doing my nails these weeks and I want to create my own content like this to and I wanna share tips so ur vids are great insp. tysm! UR AMAZING
Love the design and your method. Also mixing colours to create the colour you want…genius! I’m self taught too with the help of people like yourself. I’m contemplating using Gel X nails instead of applying tips or using forms and builder gel 🤷🏻♀️ Yours look great. I’m still not sure what the glue or gel is you use to adhere. Not the same glue you use to adhere nail tips I assume? 🤔💅🏻 what product can I use? Thank you 🙏🏻👏🏻❤️🇬🇧
I am actually trying to understand if in this step 6:58 you're using base coat to glue the nails? I'm just confused if it shouldn't be glue for my purchase ☹ Can someone let me know? Thank you 💕
Who would you recommend these nails to?! I love them!! When I ask this I’m meaning like what crowd? I work in a nail salon and you just know who to recommend acrylic nails to, gel polish for people who don’t like thick nails but wants the color to last and dip powder for the ones who need a little thickness but not gel polish thin.. I hope my question makes sense 🥰
sth ur literally so good! I wanna learn how to do my own gel-x nails so bad, I just watched thru this whole vid and while I did I asked chatgpt a wholeeee bunch of questions hahaha, now I feel more knowledge about all of this like I was clueless so tysm! im def gonna bingewtach ur nail vids cuz wow TEHYRE SO FRICKIN AMAZING THEY LOOK BETTER THAN WHAT U GET DONE IN THE SALON, if u ever need extra cash literally just do peoples nails. Do you think you could do a nail 101 vid like I know u said a lot of it in this vid but just explaining EVREYTHING FROM BASICS. please ur literally AMAZING
I don't have any intention of doing my own nails like this. Mostly bcoz I prefer to keep my nails short. But gosh dang watching this was so pleasant and relaxing. Hahah thank you!
