i literally started doing dip nails and acrylics on myself at 14 and everything and girl you made me do it😂been watching u forever ily. u are hilarious it just makes my day better
she made me start to do my own too! seeing how beautiful she does hers and how easy she makes it look ugh i can’t get enough!
i started at 13 because of her! it's been about 5 years since the first video i watched, and im good at nails & keep getting better. tip: even if you don't do it for work, keep doing it for yourself. it saves money & if anything happened where you needed extra money, people who can work with their hands will always have a job!
@@ameliajohn8334 exactly!
@@pinkfeet518 ikr!
Lol it was sooo cheap i had to order acrylic from them too. The monomer i will use for swatches and practise. I dont wanna use my good liquid for that
I was hoping she would make one about this kit. I saw this kit on Amazon for a while. And I even requested her to do it. I love how she actually listens to what her viewers wants
morovan uses MMA sadly. i would highly recommend looking into another brand. the reason the monomer sticks so bad us bc of the MMA. EMA monomer has a sweeter smell. this kit is cheap bc MMA products are cheaper in general
@@ericanaomi.nailz_ Omgg what!! That's so scary, Ive seen natural nails after MMA and it literally looked like zombies hands all green and gooey and raw 🤢😫
@@tessaelto1472 yes ma’am 😭😭
I’m shocked it took her this long to do this review. That monomer is lethal frfr
@@ericanaomi.nailz_ I hope it doesn’t infect her lol
You should try the "daily charm" foil gel. I used to have the same problem with foil not sticking and then I tried that foil gel, and wow what a difference! Also try wiping the foil with alcohol b4 trying to stick it. Hope that helps!
Also making super sure foil gel is cured is vital. I core for 90 seconds every time. Also quickly ripping it off works better than a slow peel and finally you can go back and fill missing spots after a full peel with quickly touching the foil to the bare area. I have no solutions for the creasing yet but I find it's not noticeable if you fill in the gaps after the first go around.
What do u mean wipe the foil off wth alcohol? Like the side that u stick to the nail? I'm asking bc I'm literally Abt to throw all my foil out bc I hate that it never sticks probably ever... And ik it's good foil I get it from notpolish and zulays nails. But iv been using beetles foil grl everyone says it works good for them but not me Iv Done everything I can think of I'm Abt done wth foil so if I can get any tips I'll take it... 💕
@@jenniferjones2579 yeah my bad. Wipe the transfer side gently with alcohol. If you wipe too hard, you'll ruin it... I did that just yesterday lol
@@taminator1928 thank u for all the helpful info I really appreciate it... So cute longer wipe lightly wth alcohol and pull quickly got it 🥰 and
@@jenniferjones2579 also the newer Makartt foil gel in the square bottle works really well. & in my experience, if you let it sit for a bit to get tacky after curing (maybe 30 sec) that helps also. Ima try combining all the tips lol
I used to be obsessed with simplynails and you've filled that hole in my heart 10x better. You're a great artist
What even happened to her, did she just get tired?
Laura it’s probably a mix of things. She does have multiple channels that she posts more frequently on. I’m assuming that along with having your own nail polish company and working for the government makes it hard to keep up with everything. When she had a collab with Safiya Nygaard in 2019(?) She broke down crying in her video. She was overwhelmed with launching her company while a close youtuber(Rob from Threadbanger) friend almost died.
@@laura101cookies She doesn't post that much anymore but she streams a lot on her second channel.
I love how you never give up. I would have tossed it. You still get beautiful nails. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Hey love. To be completely honest, out of all of the "cheaper" acrylics I most definitely can't stand morovan. When I started I got a kit from them and gave up on doing nails. Found your channel a year later, saw other brands and I was so mad I gave up so easily. This brand is a no FOR ME. But you did that as always
I was just bout to buy some acrylic from them. I’m glad I saved my money. *deletes from Amazon cart* 😂
omg YES. this kit was my very first introduction to acrylics, and it was SO discouraging. almost put me off acrylics entirely. my kit came with an ugly opaque cover nude instead of the translucent pink, and it was thick, chalky, dry, and the beads cured so fast . . . everything came out lumpy and clumpy.
later on i finally invested in some high-quality acrylics from YN and it was a game-changer! anyway, it’s very reassuring to know that i’m not the only one who struggled with this kit! Morovan has some nice hard gels, but their acrylic system is 🗑🗑🗑
I did the same thing!! Thought I'd try the acrylic and ordered this kit a couple of years ago and just didn't have any luck! To be honest, I'm glad I'm not the only one. Makes me feel a little more sane! 🥰
Yeah I got a bad reaction from this bran and I did the same thing . This was the first brand I ever used and I gave up doing nails for Abt a yr bc I thought it was me but than my hubby bought me a young nails kit for Christmas and I was amazed 😂
I bought this a little over a year ago such a waste of time and money. So glad she made this video to help others save money
Hey Evie! for the foils, try wiping the back of the foil (the side without the design) with rubbing alcohol or acetone before you apply it to your nail- that should hopefully make it stick better
Thanks for that tip cause I couldn't get them to stick for the life of me!😂
Really? Definitely going to try that, I've tried everything else!
But are you supposed to cure the transfer gel before your put the foil? 😕....I thought you just wait a few moments
@@ARTofSound908 after it's cured it's not as sticky as you'd think, then the design sticks to the foil even if it's sticky enough! It's just a headache most times honestly.
"I could smell the monomer through the box." That answered my question in seconds! Thank you! xD
They turned out absolutely freaking gorgeous. Evie you literally can make anything turn into a 💎.
I used to struggle with foils too. Finally found that the Makartt foil glue was the thing that helped as well as having a good lamp (which I know isn't your issue). You have to be careful which Makartt foil gel you buy though. They have two. The one that's in the older packaging is the one you want. Once I got that stuff and replaced my lamp, it was smooth sailing from there on out.
I will say that - as someone who only uses hard gel - those forms did look nice. Clear forms are great for gel. Kind of confused as to why they'd include them with a budget acrylic kit since I'd think paper forms would be cheaper but 🤷♀️😂
Agreed! The Makartt foil gel is the stuff. I almost gave up on foils until I bought it recently and it really is worth the hype.
@@memnailss yep
Proud of you for how you've built your channel and all the extremely hard work you've put in. You go girl 💅💅
The silicon tools really make a difference with the foils imo! I have a foil set that looks like it has about half of these same patterns. I used that pink disney summer foil with makartt foil glue gel...so that should be similar to tobeglam formula, I would think. I prep and cut my foils before I apply the gel so I can place and apply immediately after curing. It feels like you rub the foils forever, but if you want the full nail, it takes so much time and patience...laying the foil back down to rub the foil when areas are not sticking and hopefully get a better payoff. I also used a similar pink polygel as the base to help mask areas that didn't take. I hope that makes sense. Completely empathize and feel you tho...its tough! Your set is gorgeous anyways. They always come out bomb!
I was so excited to see you use this kit because this was the first acrylic kit I had used and I started doing acrylic 1 year ago and i still use the Morovan acrylic kit it has worked so well for me
You should try upgrading bc if you thought morovon was easy to work with you probably have some hidden skills unbeknownst to you
Amo morovan no me gusta nada nada es diferente trabajar con el porlomenos amigo se me comprlica y pruebas otros y ese no te va a gustar nada nada
i'm so glad i'm not the only one that struggles with foils lol. I bought so man for my press-on nail business and it's a struggle everyday 😂 once I found out that I should let it cool for 4-5 minutes after curing twice it really helped me. I use the makartt foil glue
This beautiful woman is the sweetest. We must protect her at all cost. I’ve never seen anyone as genuine as her.
I wouldn't recommend Morovan because when I purchased the acrylic kit the monomer was MMA not ema I could tell by how hard the acrylic was after curing and it smelt fishy like actually fishy
Yeah, I wondered about that.
Same!
Girl that monomer tore my nails and the skin around it up!! I haven’t done acrylic nails in a bit to give them a chance to recover, but I plan to give it another go after I find the right kind of monomer.
@@jessicahickman5312 it sounds like this product shouldn't be on the market.
@@skyefirenails it definitely shouldn’t be as easily accessible as it is, but that’s how they make their money… it’s a in a pretty affordable starter pack with everything you need and to the untrained eye (mine), it seems safe and worth a try. I will not be making that mistake again
I've been wanting to message you every time I see you struggle with foils ( I'm almost positive I've watched all your videos I'm low key your biggest fan☺️) anyway I almost gave up on them myself ,for good then I found a way ... So I put a decent layer of foil glue not too too thick but not a thin layer ..then I cure In my good lamp 2x on 60 sec ...then I let the nail cool , idk 20-60 sec and boom works like a charm w all the different foil glues I've collected over time thinking it was that and with any type of foil .... I hope this reaches you , good luck ! Your quite low #1 fan !!
Going on 2 years following u your AMAZING and SUPER TALENTED i love ur energy and ur sets are just AMAZING 🤩🙌🏼🙏🏼💅🏼💖
Girl … Makartt has the best transfer gel I’ve ever tried and you need to rub hard … I honestly use my bank card. Depending on the transfer gel brand you may have to cure longer but Makartt is 60 seconds under uv/led! I struggled with foils until I started working with the Makartt transfer gel!!
I absolutely LOVE watching your videos. From when you started to now. I can see how lots if practice over time just pays off. You're an amazing soul and I always go to your page 1st when I want to watch TH-cam. I'm just not the best at liking/commenting on videos.
i ordered this kit about six months ago and it was a complete nightmare to work with! it was my very first time using acrylics and i didn’t want to spend too much, but good lord, what a mistake. i was a little discouraged because i thought *all* acrylics were like that. i’m glad to know it wasn’t just me, lol!
i finally invested in some high-quality acrylics from Young Nails and was like “ohhhh, so THIS is how it’s SUPPOSED to work!” anyway, i love doing acrylic now, and wish i’d never wasted my money on that kit. Morovan has some really nice hard gels, but this acrylic kit ain’t it!!!
thanks for another great video, Evie! 💖✨
This kit was my first ever experience with acrylic and I thought the problem was just me being a beginner.. until I bought higher quality acrylic, monomer and brushes.. made all the difference in the world and things became much less frustrating!! Love that you did this video. I have been looking for reviews on this product specifically just to see if I got a bad batch or if I was the only one who had issues with it😄
I bought this kit bout a year ago, I attempted to use it twice and it’s impossible to work with on forms only just managed to get one nail done with tips after half an hour! It’s so chalky and streaky and clumpy. It now just sits in a drawer and I went back to use polygel and gel polishes💕
Uuggghh I have so many issues with the foils. I don't know how people do those videos with them looking perfect. Not me 😭
This set is super cute tho! I love how you always pull a design together and show the process. I learn so much from you! 🥰
Love your videos so much brights my day
I was going to suggest the Makartt foil gel too. I dont know anything about packaging, but I order the 2-packs off Amazon & they work best out of all I've tried. Just make sure you don't over cure(I only go 30 sec), then after your nail comes out the lamp WAIT a couple minutes before you put the foil on. I dont know why it makes a difference but it does. And be sure to give the back of that foil a little LIGHT swipe of alcohol. If you have major curves and you don't want wrinkles cut some angular slits before applying the foil too. Then after you place the foil dont be afraid to be super aggressive with rubbing down the transfer, I've actually even used metal cuticle pushers but the main thing is dont be afraid to press too hard. Then once you do that, and you know its on good, rip it up quick.
When you say "back of the foil" you mean the side that comes in contact with the nail/glue, right?
@@zombiepika3118 yes
Wow, never got here so early hahah
I had the same problem with foil gels and I think the key is to not have a sticky layer under it. If you try it again try wiping the sticky layer before applying the transfer gel 😄 hope that works ☺️
I love the jaunty music you used in this video. It adds the perfect background, a bit of silliness, for your experience. 💖
Love the abstracts!😍 No base coat with the transfer gel. The young nails version is air dry and I here its good. Also, silicone tool saves lives😊😊😊
Try wiping the back of the foils with cleanser that always works for me with stubborn foils... Hope this helps!!
You inspire me to do nails💕
Hey Evie! I want to start off by saying I love your videos and have been watching you for years! I love watchin you do your nails as I also do my own! Wit all that being said. I find curing the foil glue for 60 seconds twice help the foils stick better. I still get small imperfections in them but please try it and let me know if it works
I love evie but don't support cheap amazon acrylic brands like this. They usually will contain MMA in the monomer which is why they can be sold sooo cheap! It will wreck your nails , evie had reviews for many brands , modelones, kiera sky , any other brand of acrylic even Mia secret and now makartt has a line out!( im from UK not USA so not used myself) but these big 15 to 25 pound or dollar kits are usually so cheap for a reason and for beginners it will make practice really hard too! Xx
It's so sad we have to worry about it 😞 iv seen some bad reactions from it
Yes!!! I hate how people buy these as they’re nasty af. I see them when looking for nail stuff off EBay and they look really suspicious. Like they’re cheap for a reason
That design is so cute 🥰
hi! along with stretching the foil to fit over sticky nail foil glue, you can also cut little snips so that it matches the curvature of the nail. like a dart in a blouse, the foil creases over the curves but you can cut where the crease is and the image matches up perfectly, but you can definitely strech the foil to fit. Thanks again for all you have taught me!
LOVE the background music in this video!! I usually skip parts without dialogue (on all channels cause I don’t like the music) but I actually watched the whole thing! Great choice!!
Evie!! I love your channel girl. I learned doing nails from watching your videos before being able to attend a class! Keep up the good work.
Where the introoooo? I miss it lol
I literally love this channel so much i came across this like yesterday I’ve been binging!! I don’t like nails personally I don’t like the feel and the limited functionality of them but literally I appreciate the art of it and the talent that nail artist have such amazing and very beautiful work!
This is what I bought. My first ever acrylic kit. And I'm still using it because I can't afford anything else lol. I thought it was something I was doing wrong for so long so thank you for reassuring me that that's not the case!! Lol
morovan has MMA in their products. that’s why they’re so cheap sadly. in the long run this isn’t a safe product to use. it sucks that nail stuff is so frickin expensive but it’s worth it to invest in better quality, EMA products for your health. id be hesitant to purchase any type of nail products on amazon unless it’s your nails or mia secret
Chiiiiile, those press-ons still looking good! I had to do a double take! 👍🏾💯
A tip to help, wipe the back of your foils with alcohol.
I love your videos i been watching some of your videos already i really love how you do your work on your nails very good and you take your time and the way you show it on here make me learn alot from you and i think you are the far the best nail teach i see better then the others i see on here and some dont take there time like you do and i be keep watching your videos to keep learning more of your work and style you bring is amazing just want let you know about that.
I’m getting a kit today I feel like you inspired me to start doing nails thank you so much 🥰for inspiration
Have you tried the Modelones acrylic already? I wanna hear your thoughts about it! ❤️
She did, around a year ago or so
I was literally about to buy this!!
I love the setup in the background so aestheticc
dealing with transfer foils you have to put the base transfer on first cure it then you have to put the transfer paper on the nail then cure it while on there after you press fully hard for about 10/15 seconds and then pull it off after you pull out the light works better
When I say you made this work! Honey, those colors look beautiful. I purchased a Morovan Acrylic kit, I could not take the smell, nor get the acrylic to set right. However, I tried the same acrylic with Saviland and Modelone Monomer and it worked much better. So at least I'm able to use the acrylic. Love your videos, you've helped step up my skills! God bless you!
Because you're using two different brands for base coat and transfer gel, not wiping the tacky layer of the base is probably you're issue.
Wipe the tacky layer or use the same brand and it should stop this from happening.
Foils also need something hard to rub them onto the transfer gel for the best results.
HEY GIRLY! Thanks for the review! Have you heard of “The Nail Cakery”? Can you look into that brand and maybe do a review on them?
i have been waching you for a long time and you make me so happy!!! loveu!!
I could listen to you read the dictionary... I love your voice it's so soothing! I've gotten more into doing my nails cause of your vids! Keep up the fab work! ❤️
I love honest and open you are
Love love love this set, learning sets for me make me go harder.
I don’t get my nails done but watching your channel makes me wanna get my nails done
i own the Morovan monomer and use it to adhere my press ons and while I love the fact that it's fast curing...baby THE SMELL IS STRONG. 💪🏾
*cough cough*
I have learned so much from you, i have to share with you what i have learned about transfer foils: I the milky white kind of glue with the yellow sticker, and when it dries and gets sticky, i can pull the foil to fit the nail without it creasing. the paper actually stretches!
This was one of the first acrylics I tried and I hated everything about it not even knowing a lot but just from watching enough people to know what I wanted my application to be like. Hopefully it’s gotten better over time and the monomer was definitely funky!!
Before watching your video, here's my opinion on this kit! 🥰
I got this kit a couple of years ago and the monomer is really strong (IMO but it could be I want used to the smell) and the acrylic dried too fast for me as a beginner... I'd have to do small beads. Also the brushes weren't that great, but I guess it's okay since I am a beginner? Idk... 😊
My husband almost kicked me out the house bc of that monomer. It's so strong. Lol love how you call the dappen dish a dampen dish 😃
Yeah I used to buy these kind of sets when I first started. I'm moving on up lol
What a beautiful video. I enjoyed watching and you did an amazing job. You have a lovely channel ✌🏽
I bought the same one but it’s from born pretty. And yes I could smell the monomer through the box as well.
It looks exactly the same
I found that using the opposite end of a tweezer or something hard to really push it on has helped a ton!!
Hello I would recommend cleaning the opposite side of the foil with isopropyl alcohol or gel reside wipe off solution for the foil to stick 😊
If your foils turn out to be trash like some I've bought off eBay, you can cut them and adhere them with gel or bling adhesive or encapsulate them with acrylic
I used to have issues with transfer foils. I find it works best when you wipe then with alcohol first after curing it makes it actually sticky !
OMG I Love The Nail Design That You Came Up With!
Young nails transfer foil gel is the best foil gel on the market, works everytime! No lamp required!
I love how she's so funny and ruvuse Amazon stuff to see if it's good or not . I love her vids😁
OMG I LOVE YOUR VIDS especially the nail drills and how you put it on
Hi! This is the earliest I have been I am soooo excited!
makartt and daily charm foil gel are great and also I found that if your nail is buffed too smooth the foils won't stick. 🤷
I'm just so crazy about the no intro! 🥺
But the nails Looks decent with that kit tho.
I started with the same set. Iove the powders, but switched to a different monomer and they are much more durable. I also bought tips, and glue, and prefer tips to forms. I'm getting a 24 color acrylic and glitter set and bought a larger jar of clear. I'm building up and I like how it performs, and I think it's great for beginners. I busted out and ordered a 14 kolinsky on sale. Stuff comes tomorrow! Thanks for the vid!
I find that doing the foil in parts/sections works better. Like doing the arch first, then the length of the nail
Hi Evie I also had trouble with the foil sticking not sure if you tried already but I learned from someone here on TH-cam to wait like 30 secs after curing the foil transfer gel before trying to apply the foil this helped for me
The real mvps are the people who make this stuff work...
I can't do it. Plus the cheap stuff probably contains mma.
I had same problem with transfer foil. I use young nails really work well!!!
Morovan & Modelones have STRONG monomer but I love their acrylic . That's what I started out using and even though I've been using Young Nails acrylic lately , they are my go to. I've never used the white acrylic so thanks for the heads up .
The nails turned out so cute love you❤️
Thank you for this review. I bought the set a month or so ago but haven’t used it just yet. I’m super nervous about acrylic bc last time I did it (using a kiss kit) it didn’t turn out good and it made me sad. I’m sure if I would’ve used this one and got similar results I would’ve decided not to do acrylic anymore.
I always have to use two coats of foil gel, curing for 60 seconds each time and it does the trick!
Hey. I found with transfer foil no matter what foil glue i used it just wouldn't stick, it would just be patchy. But then i tried naio nails foil glue and wow its amazing it's so sticky, the foil sticks to the entire nail! Also when I'm rubbing the transfer foil on i use a cotton pad and use that to rub it on, works for me. Xx ❤️
Thank for your honest review!!!
Hey Girl, I stick with Markarts foil gel and I always use my nail to scratch it on. Works completely every time.😁💗
Yeah I use that one too it's definitely the best I've ever used.
use rubbing alcohol or swipe on a lint free pad and wipe the back of the transfer foil to clean it first before sticking it on the nail. it helps 100%
Bought that same kit. I love you TH-cam videos❤️.
Seeing your nail prep was so satisfying
I miss it😭😭
The #12 look smaller than the #8 lol. And a silicone tool for those foils would make it SO much easier. Kinda the same idea as you said where your tools are just as important when speaking about the brushes. I found the foil gel and foils themselves matter too. I havent tried many foil gels myself, but the makartt one works real good. I died when you pulled it off and there was nothing. LOL. The struggle is definitely real with them things. I loved the design you ended up with though! U always know how to make some cheap products look great.
Nice touch with the new background music 🎶 👌
You are amazing I love watching you do your nails 💅🏽.
evie after drying the foil gel , let it cool a little, it will adhere better, i have the same foils
Your voice is so relaxing and this video was interesting ❤
For transfer foils I use makartt gel foil glue you get in their kits, it works really well for me
i just bought this kit i wasn’t aware of how many negative reviews it had but im happy i found/watched your video im staying clear of the white and just gonna use the pink lol 😅
I have that problem too. Try cutting slits into the foil and matching where your nail would curve. Also, instead of doing the whole nail, do half of the nail and then the other half. Hope that helps, but your nails still came our wonderfully!!! 😊😊
i’m always excited for ur vids 💅💕
When you apply your foil transfer gel always wipe with alcohol and then apply the foil and it will work ❤️
U INSPIRED ME TO DO NAILS TYSM I LOVE U!🤣❤️
