I can’t believe you posted this 7 years ago and I’m just now seeing it! I just did it with white acrylic power and I love it! Can’t wait to see how long it lasts. I’m a hairstylist that specializes in braiding and I don’t like long nails. This is perfect, thank you!
Happy it helped! 😊
Same. Found out yesterday 😄
Just found it too
How long did it last if I may ask?
IT WORKED! I did everything you instructed in your video. Now I don't have to worry about breaking my paper thin nails on everything. I'm glad I found your video and thank you so much hun.
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching :)
***** Thank you, I try my best.. I know I miss some but I really do try :)
Than you for watching!!
What all do you use
Finally a tutorial of exactly what I was looking for
+Ur Crzyluv Thank you for watching! :)
Just what I was gonna say
TFW :)
Beanana711 love the vid! What nail color are you wearing at the end?
Same here!
Thank you so much for this! My rubbery, peeling nails wouldn't even hold gel polish. The salon did acrylics over gel for me but I knew I did not have the time or patience to do straight acrylics and fills (nor the money to keep going to the salon). This method is so easy and lasts 3 weeks on me. Looking down at a polished hand gives me an uplifting confidence. I silently thank you every time I do my nails.
I love this idea. It's exactly what I've been looking for to grow my natural nails. Thank you.
You're very welcome, and thank you for watching! :)
I have seen this before from LisMar . Great idea and it really lets you grow out the nails . Nice video !
Thanks! I'll have to look up her video :) TFW
_"how often would you repeat this step? And how would you remove this?"_
....You would literally have to be skipping through the video to ask questions like this that were definitely answered... -_-
Thank you for watching :)
As a nail tech that specializes in natural nail care, I was drawn to your video. First I want to say that you do really good work, not just your technique but everything presented. From your video process to your calming voice. Your nails and hands are beautiful too.
The only critique I will offer is that I was given the impression this will allow one to "grow out natural nails" which in effect one will using this technique. However, that being said, you are still committed to doing fills and once you remove this product, your nails will be weakened, not strengthened. It's just not possible....
I would recommend taking Biotin as a supplement and using cuticle oil regularly. Keeping a natural nail strengthener is a good idea as well and a good one in my experience is Cuccio. I have helped my share of women grow their natural nails out w/o using any acrylic or gel. It's a preference thing tho because polish just lasts twice as long with an enhancement product opposed to natural nails. Nail tech important tip would be to cap the free delve and use a topcoat ever 2-3 days to keep your polish intact longer.
I definitely would recommend this for those who are trying to get away from the commitment to straight acrylics and/or straight hard gels by gradually weaning them out. Maybe start out this way then take out the gel polish and use nail glue OR just use a layer or two of soak off gels.
Lastly, this is quite clever really how you have managed to mix two concepts (products)-it reminds me of the newer versions of glue systems out now such as Kiara Sky. Back when I did more enhancements, Backscratchers was thee brand to use...lol Boy did it smell...but is great for doing patch jobs or overlays. Or one layer to hold polish optimally.
Either way...just thought I could enhance your comment section with some pro tips and point of views from someone who mostly does natural nail care. I wish you all the best & continued success with your channel here. Best in the new year...
I've learned alot form you so far I watch alot of naio nails videos (if you know her) what do you think of her work ?
Would this technique be better if you were to use a peel off base coat or regular base coat so that it won't damage your natural nails
Do u have to use gell polish or can I just use regular polish and dip with acrylic?
+Jazz J,
Yes, you can use any gel and you would follow the same steps. Just make sure you cure according to that gels needs. Thank you for watching! :)
(I can't reply to your comment, hopefully you'll check back and see this.)

Can I do this with no wipe gel top coat?
This is really cool and I'm going to try! Also - I think I heard Spongebob in the background.....😂
Correction re terminology. Both lamp typs you reference are UV emitting lamps, but the bulbs are either LED or CFL.
Hey, how long do you keep them and how do you remove the regular polish from it? When I do this I remove polish with acetone but that also causes lifting and makes my base not last.
ONEdark COCOA I keep them on for about 2 weeks. I use non-acetone polish removed to take off regular polish without hurting the gel. That should keep the gel from lifting. Thank you for watching! :)
Beanana711 - can I apply regular nail polishes over the gel topcoat? Or do I have to buff the gel topcoat before applying regular nail polish?
wow
i can’t believe this was made 9 years ago !
Great video. Can you show us how to do a fill as they grow out, or do you have to soak the off? Thank you Have a great weekend. Debbie
I think you can probably infil by buffing the top layer and using the method at the base of the nail on the regrowth only, then capping the whole nail. It's an excellent method with no lifting
Vashti
I like your name. Watch out for Persian kings!
I've noticed if you don't make it thick enough, it'll crack & when that happens your whole nail will crack too. Careful
omg thank you so much for this, can i just use a regular top and bottom coat ? does it have to be done with the gel and uv lamp? 😘
Missy Loves Luxe did u ever figure it out? I’m wondering as well if it needs to be gel
I really would like to know as well
I don’t think it would work well with regular polish. It would just chip/flake off like regular. Gel polish with the led/uv light bonds to the nail and keeps it from flaking and chipping.
I just wanted to stop by and thank you for this video. I live on a tight budget, but I love beautiful nails. Because of illness, I've always worn acrylics, done at the salon, but that's way out of a disability budget. I gathered all these items and dove in head first. Yes, my first set only lasted a few days before the lifting started, but I knew I needed a better method from removing dead cuticle skin (just wanted to use what was already in the house). I tried to tag you on instagram, but couldn't find you, so i tagged you on Facebook, cause i was just so proud of how they turned out (lol). I've ordered a better cuticle pusher, cuticle remover and the gel you showed in the video (don't want to do the buffing, lol). Thank you for the time & energy you invest into these videos. Blessings!!!!
Thank you much! I truly appreciate comments like thins :) you made my whole week!
I’ve been doing mine this way for years! I found it so much easier than doing acrylics on myself.
I wish l could show you!! 🤩 how they turned out!! Thanks to your help!! 😘☺️ l watched this video like 7 timesss!! 👍🏽 I did it 4xs with clear builder and mirror finish top coat! 💅🏽
I knew it... thank you soo much.. I was waiting for a vid like this.. I've seen the ones that dey use those dipping method.. and kept asking can we use regular gel and acrylic that kept saying no. so i didn't even bother to try it my self was planning to buy the dipping meant for this.. but omg. thanx goodness I didn't cus now I know it does work w any reg gel and acrylic. thank you sooo very much..
File-N-Style Nails I'm sitting here with a bunch of left over topcoats and acrylic powders from other kits and wondering if it could work with just top coat. Of course it wouldn't last long I assume but I also like to change my nails often so guess I'll have to try it
I just did this on my nails!! Wish I could share a picture!! It's not perfect but it's functional and I will get better I am sure was just thinking I wasted my money on the acrylic kit cause I couldn't do the brush application like nail shop.. But your method it's fantastic
Worked like a charm...thanks a million 😊
I really enjoyed this video, I'm glad I found it. I have been doing powder dip for a few months and wanted and easier change. My question is, do you have to soak off every 2 weeks or will this last longer? and How would you do a fill in? Any response would be greatly appreciated. Keep doing these tutorials!
you are shaking baby girl...
+Venus X Yes, lol. Thank you for watching! :)
Can u use regular gel polish with no lamp
no you cannot use gel polish with no UV/LED lamp it will never dry...EVER
I’m sure you could use the Sally Hansen gel since you don’t need a lamp to let it dry
Thank you for this video! It is a wonderful solution for people who constantly pick at their very short nails. My nails are now strong and beautiful. This technique makes them look so natural...and it's SO easy to do. :) Thanks again
Yes, I’ve been learning about this from a couple of other nail ladies on TH-cam. I started with dip systems, and am also very into polygels now. Thanks for showing us this great stuff!
lovely explanation and video. I would suggest that your top coat be a bit thicker or even 2 coats, to make it more smooth, then you will be able to use standard acrylics...even the color ones without buffing.
can you use any type of acrylic powder, or a specific type? I have gel polish/lamp and am excited to try this!
Man! You've saved me sooooo much time and money with this method! I just knew you could mix the two! So glad I found your video!!!!! 😄😍💅👍👍👍👍👍
+monique1580 Thank you for watching!! :)
No problem! I just knew I could do this! Lol.
I rarely find tutorials that do techniques with Gel and/or Acrylic for Natural Nail Technique. I do not wear nail polish because I'm very conservative when it comes to polishes. I like wearing natural and French Manicure with a White that is pretty muted, almost like a natural looking white. For this I create my own mixture of Whites to create a Cloudy White color that makes my nails look so natural with a very pretty lite sheen or tint. I get so many people ask about it but since I mix my own, It is hard to give them a product name. I have watched all your tutorials and you know what you're doing. So with this, I wanted to request if you can make a tutorial for refilling when needed for this technique. Thank you so much. Hope to hear from you and have a great day. 🙂
She doesn't full them. She said it's so quick to do, she just soaks them off and does a new set... it would take longer to prepare them for a fill, might as well just do em new.
how long will this last and will it make ur nails stronger and less easier to break
Is there a way to just remove the gel polish without removing the acrylic power?
Just curious, is a base coat and foundation the same? Also. which do you dedicate for applying the layers, so you don't add powder in the bottle? I use the foundation, and my last coat is my top coat. :) I broke a nail so I did an acrygel overlay to help keep it strong. What happens if you don't cure completely, will that make it weaker, and easy to break? Just curious, tfs - xoxo Emmie
PrettyThingsRock I believe so, but I would have to read up more on foundation vs. base coat to know for sure (you use them the same way, so I'm guessing yes). I used the topcoat for the application but that's because I have more topcoats then base coats, lol. Either one works :) If you don't cure it completely you run the risk of developing an allergic reaction or in extreme cases the gel can actually brake down the nail plate and damage it. And yes, it would also be weaker. Hope that helps! :)
Hi there, how often would you repeat this step? And how would you remove this? Thanks, holly.
You would have to be the original person who did it this way, using gel base and acrylic, and where dip nails began. I started doing gel nail polish and never new of this method 7-8 years ago.
I did this last week and I won't be doing it again. Eventually it did start chipping, because of course it will, and it was AWFUL to remove, even with sanding down and soaking, etc. My poor nails are more fragile now than they were!
Hi I just did this, it look great even holds my broken nail in place can't even tell it broken hopefully will grow out. Please show us when it starts to grows out what to do then.
Thank you xxx
+Jazz J,
I'm not sure, I've never used them before. I get my bulbs from Nailiteinc.com. Sorry I couldn't be more help with that one :)
Awesome! My nails are so short and I really don't like acrylic nails all that much. I like to do my nails at home and acrylic nails are too much work, so I'll definitely will give this technique a try. Thank you so much sharing!
Thank you so much! :) TFW
i know the video is old but i LOVE your natural nails. i love the square look :)
Thank you so much! :) TFW
+Beanana711 i try to get mine like that but :( dont work lol..
+Angel Blevins It takes time to grow them out, a good cuticle oil will help to keep them flexible so they don't break as easy. Good luck! :)
So the acrylic powder will give it thickness but only strength to a certain extent. The strength behind acrylic is when it is used with monomer, a chemical reaction happens and the powder and monomer form a substance that turns into a solid when it sets. When you mix acrylic with the gel polish, it is still going to be in a granular form… You could add salt or sugar or sand and it will have the same affect as using the acrylic powder. Using repair silk wraps or fiberglass wraps would add the strength and would probably be a better option if you have thin brittle flaky nails such as I have.
me gusta..... voy a tratarlo...... a ver si me crecen un poquito mis uñas naturales....
So you can use any loose acrylic powder? And do you have to use bake gel or is there some other gel you can use?
Can you do this with the light less gel with that acrylic
I didn't realize you could use gel and acrylic together, you made it look so simple. I will definately have to try this. Thanks for sharing! ☺
Thank you for watching :)
hey very nice indeed tysm for sharing joined your family hope to see you present in mine💜💜💜
I love this and want to try it, but do I have to use a lamp if I'm using the gel that doesn't require it?
Tfs...when they start growing out, do u just repeat steps with files. Fill or soak off n start over? I love watching your videos, u r so good at explaining everything n u just have that knack! ☺
Thanks! You can do it both ways, sometimes I just soak it off and start over and others I prep the new growth and do a fill using the same technique. I'll do a follow up video and do a fill. Thank you for watching!
Am i not suppose to dry the base coat gel before applying the powder?
I just tried this and I already love it!! I'm wearing it natural for now, i'm a hair stylist so my nails are always breaking, here's hoping this works well for me! Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much! :) TFW
Wow! This is amazing. I will definitely try this. Thank you so much! Your so talented.
Question: can you try this on nail tips?
Yes! I’ve done it with nail tips and it worked well (they were on the shorter side). Thank you for watching :)
hey idea was ripped off by kaira sk.......i think we know the rest
How does this help to make your nail healthy again
so u put the gel first then u put the powder then put it on light then top coat thats all
you seem to be shaking a lot, I hope you’re okay 😊😢❤
My brush went hard can you tell me what i can do to avoid that
9 uears later here I am very interested in this method!
Hi how to i stop lifting and chipping please?
Can you use SNS powder and will that soak off?
Girl invented polygel without knowing
I do not have base coat do I need to use it?
What Color is the nail polish you have on in the end of video ???
Is this a technique that you made up. I want to try the light less gel with that acrylic. I do not like to use the lamp
it won't work
Hello, can I do designs with this method?
I'm confused lol, complete newbie here. Have worn traditional gel nails and pink and white acrylics for 20yrs. I have epilepsy now and cannot drive so I've had to give up salon trips and am now looking for natural looking nails I can do at home. Couple questions...
1. Do you "fill" with this technique or do you soak all the way off and start fresh every couple weeks?
2. Can you fix chipping or lifting and how?
3. If you do "fills" with method, can/how do you change polish color?
+Heather DeLauder 1) Nope, I soak off and redo it. It's so fast that I don't feel the need to "fill". For me it's just easier to start over. 2) I have seen people use a drop of glue to fix it but for me personally I'm worried about something growing under there so I just remove it and start over. Must safer that way. 3) You can use a non-acetone polish remover to take off the polish and switch to a new color. (if you are using regular nail polish). Hope that helps! :)
100mg b6 vitamin daily will help your trembling....i had that problem and it was very hard to do acrylics cuz my hands trembled so much ☺ excited to try this technique!
Thanks for the tip :) TFW
Chelsea Atkinson great tip. This happens to me as well. Thanks.
I try the same thing ,to let my natural nails grow
but mine does not look so good as yours :(
I will leave them for some time with just a nails hardener.
you did a great job here
Thank you! That's to bad, I wonder if it's the acrylic (it might be to big) or that your not getting the powder wet enough with the gel (sometimes that can cause air bubbles or bumps). You're nails always look amazing! :) TFW
for how long do u leave them in the foil, sorry first timer here......and do they come off easy or is there scraping involve......plz, thank u
10-20 minutes depending how much of the gel you file off 1st.. And most brands just peel off but you might need a cuticle pusher to help push it off the gel. In the description box there is a "how to remove gel polish" video, that will explain the steps better if you are interested. Thank you again for watching :)
Do you need to cure it or can you do it without curing?
Thanks hon for this video my natural nails are so soft so this will definitely give me the strength I need to grow them out ☺😁Thanks again!! Tfs
Thanks! :) TFW
Thank you so much
I am a nurse and they really trip about acrylics but this way they look so natural that it would be hard to tell if they are mine or acrylic nails
I am going to do this from now on so that I can at least have something on my nails 💅🏾🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching!
Can this powder be filled?
i was looking something for grow my nails! im gonna do it! great vídeo! 😆
Thank you for watching :)
Wow does this help with weak nails??
What’s a good finally milled acrylic powder so you don’t get the bumps?
Most acrylic dip powders are finally milled. Hope that helps! TFW
How do u tic glitter to Ac nails
Oh this is an awesome idea!! I need to try this. I've always had thin nails so when they grow out they break easy :(
My nails are the same way, that's why I started doing this. Thank you for watching! :)
hopefully it'll help me :)
tried this n fell in love!!!!!
Me too
Isn't the glue hard on nails! Mine are truly thinner than paper. I'm worried to use anything since growing out the ugly scraggly nail left after acrylics.
I didn't use glue? Do you mean gel?
From Patricia Berry my nails grow so long that they split on the side and they break I don't know why I put nail polish on and it still break now what's wrong
Love your video. Very informative.cant wait to try it!
can i use acrylic with hard gel too
how is the removal of these? i am considering going back to acrylic because removing gel is such a process and feel that acrylic soaks off so much easier in acetone.
I'm using soak off gel in this video, you would use the same process as acrylics to soak it off (with acetone). Thank you for watching! :)
ok, I'm afraid of the lamp, it always burns my nails I don't know what I'm not doing right
Usually if it burns it's because you applied the gel too thick or the gel has impurities and is curing unevenly (some cheaper ebay type brands have done this to me). I would try applying very thin layers and see if that helps, if not then I would try a different brand. Hope that helps :)
my big sis like stuff like that . +Essence Mosby she loves nails and glitter and rhinestones
Thank you for watching :)
if u put gel polish on top does still last 15-20 min to soak off or longer? did u make that refill video that u promised us 1 year ago? :)
+anamaria85855 no the soak off tine should be the same, you would still file it down before soaking. Thank you for watching! :)
Can this really help "grow out" the nails? or just lessen the chance of nails taring? My finger nails are hideous and I have been trying for years to reshape them from fan shaped to more symmetrical squares with more paralleled sides. My nails tare super easily so it's like starting over every 2 weeks to get them long enough just to shape them.
hey.... have you ever tried Nail Growth Miracle by Sally Hansen? It's a gold bottle that comes in a box, hanging on a peg in the Sally Hansen nail section at Walmart, Target, Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS, etc..... Walmart sells it for about &10....its cheaper at Target & alot more expensive at drugstores! It's a clear base coat that you apply (wear it alone or under polish) every other day for (however long).... . ex: put it on Monday, on Wednesday, remove with polish remover then reapply. Do this religiously & I swear your nails will get better!!! I had the same problem. I've been using this stuff for almost ten years now!
Awesome. Thanks. I will give it a shot. :)
Can u do it with normal nail polish?
Can you do a fill with this method or do you have to take everything off and start new? About how long does this take to do?
+cal cat I personally just soak it off and start over. Time will depend on your lamp prep. I think it took me about 30 min. Thank you for watching! :)
Just wanted to add my thanks. I've tried every strong builder gel in the world to overlay my nails and every time, they lift and take the top layer of my new nail with it. No matter how many expensive bonders I use. I had resorted to overlaying with a complete acrylic monomer and powder....but it's so bulky. This is the first time I have used a method to successfully overlay a nail with no lifting. I'm so pleased. Almost seems too easy...where's the catch! But Thank you
hi easy to follow video, love it. Can you use a gel polish that doesn't use a light? i have an essie gel polish i love can it be used?
No, unfortunately that will not work. The lightless gels are basically regular nail polish and don't last as long. I've never tried it but I'm pretty sure you'd get chipping right away and the strength wouldn't be there that the gel/acrylic gives. Thank you for watching! :)
Omg thank u soo much saved me a trip to salon and wats even better looks like a pro did them not bad for my first try
Awesome! I'm so glad it helped you out ^_^ TFW!!
+Jazz J,
I would do 90-120 sec for each layer in a UV lamp, depending on the wattage of the lamp. (9-18w = 120sec, 18-36+w = 90sec)
Hey guys are having. 70vj9
Beanana711...how long do u leave the nail in the light
what if you have very short like chip nails? would this give me the length I want
You could apply nail tips to get the length until they grow out, or just wait it out as your nails grow. Thank you for watching :)
I don't have a uv lamp.. So it worked just to led it dry naturly??
+Juliana Mazo Sorry, for gel polishes you have to use an LED or UV lamp. It will not cure (dry) without the lamp. Thank you for watching! :)
i no this i wonted to do it but because i am allergic for acrylic i did not do it your nail nails look really nice tfs
Thank you so much! :) TFW
Hi I totally enjoyed this video but could you please tell me the curing time
The curing time will depend on the gel and lamp you are using. It usually states 30-90 seconds. 30 for an LED lamp and closer to 90 for UV. It should state on the bottle or package of the gel. Hope that helps! TFW
I’m a nail tech and I’ve been wanting to try something like this. I’m going to try it but with builder gel. Thank you so much for sharing.
when am finish and I add the nail polish can I use a normal top coat or I HV to use the gel too coat?
+Latoya English Yes you can :) TFW
