I've been doing my own nails now for 1 year after watching your tutorials. Your videos are really helpful and I'm saving time and $ by doing them myself. Thanks
That’s exactly how I lay my acrylic down on my clients and myself.😍 Yes it takes a lil longer than the 1 ball method but my clients don’t have to come back for a fill till after a month! It’s not about the money to me, it’s the quality and consistency of my work and how happy my clients be from getting their nails done by me. 💜 You rock doing nails! Sending love and happiness from Detroit Michigan. 💜😘
Bertdell Estep Yes it is. Most of my clients have been coming to me for 6 year’s and I’ve been doing nails for 7 year’s. I loooove your work soooooo much!! 😍😍 If you ever decide to do nails for a living, you would make a killing. I totally understand why you’re staying at home for your baby though. 😍😍
Thank you for breaking this down and showing the nail from start to finish. I've watched many of your videos which has inspired me to try this since I'm not loving the polygel and this is very helpful.
I really always wanted to take acrylics into a career but my Mexican mom basically told me it’s a hobby. But they way you explain it so calmly makes me want to do it again. When I do my own nails I’ll make sure to watch this again.
I love your work..I prefer nail forms bcuz I hate the glue and fitting each tip and gluing them then cutting and filing them then blending takes all your time..lol!! Nail forms,after you thoroughly prep the nails just apply dehydrator then primer then fit the forms on the application and you can apply acrylic according to what shape you want..thats just my preference..
I ran into your videos during this quarantine and you have inspired me to pursue this desire for nails that I have been having. Today I did my own acrylic set on myself with the items I could gather in a short amount of time and all of your tips and tricks help me so much. I’m proud of what I created today and can’t wait to see my progress 💞
Literally thank you so much. I have been a hairstylist for over 15 years and never ventured into nails but recently the nail place is around here. I have gone really cheap with products and with work and it doesn’t even last two weeks. I bought myself a kit and I’ve watched your videos granted my nails look like shit but I’m learning so thank you
I have always hated the look of long nails and crystals and GIRL you have totally changed my perspective, I love your channel. It’s the only nail channel that I can stand watching so I rewatch all of your stuff lol
What I love about you is that you don’t shout or talk really loudly ❤️ I don’t know why others do that as it just destroys my chill time 😂 Btw I ordered a polygel kit from Ali express but all that came was the extra polygel so I ordered one off amazon and it will be here soon!!!!!!!
Coming back to an og vid to do my first set of acrylics, I started poly gel then dip with you lol now I have all supplies in front of me I’m ready 💅🏽👸🏽
This is so helpful, thanks! Wish there were more ladies like you with your talent in the nail profession. Nothing against the Asian ladies in the nail shops but it would def be really nice to walk in an American owned nail shop and everyone understands English and they aren't making customers feel like they're talking about them. Your skills are extraordinary!
They do talk about you. Also lots of studies and “undercover” research have shown majority of the time they are budget nail salons that don’t sanitize and follow proper protocol as they should. They use dirty files, they damage the natural nail bed by digging and over filing, as well as using MMA products which are as we know... horrendous. Your ‘paranoia’ is warranted
Oh yeah that one ABC "investigation" that only featured a couple of asian nail salons that were guaranteed to not be following proper sanitation protocols lol. That's the so called "research" you're pulling up? I'd suggest you work on your prejudice against Asian nail shops because I'm pretty sure they have better things to talk about (like their families or upcoming events) than your feet and fingernails.
And I'm not saying there aren't any bad Asian salons. I'm saying ANY salon can be bad and there's actually a lot of sanitation problems happening with salons all over. You should be paranoid with any beauty service shop you're going into, not just ethnic ones.
DeKarla Fuller ha ha. Yep, I remember you! I bet we watch a lot of the same channels. I think we both mentioned this channel (LHPN) when Tabytha asked us what other nail channels we like to watch! Can't wait for the next live video. That was fun.
i know this video is old now but i'm glad it's here! i've been wanting to get french acrylic done but hated the weird 'pink' color used to mimic 'natural nails'. to me it only looks good on yt people so i was looking for an alternative! looks like it'll be clear polish on the nail beds instead of pink :)
I've really enjoyed and have learned so much about nails, bless you and your family, and thankyou for taking me on the trip to..and baby girl how are you able to make those beautiful pearl balls of Accrylics...huggs
How short are you trying to go? You may need to get shorter tips rather than cutting the tips shorter. You can find short stiletto tips on Amazon or eBay. When I want really short nails, I just sculpt them. It saves me time and tips! Good luck! 👍🏾
I like these tips it took me forever to find some straight tips that weren’t curved to hell & back...I also prefer to sculpt with a form.. I’m just better with a form I’m not as good with a tip but it’s whatever you practice & how you were taught.. literally the first nail I ever did was a sculpted nail I just jumped in the deep end head first ...
Great video and beautiful nails! Thank you for sharing! Going to try clear tips /acrylic nails for the first time. Hope mine turn out as nice as yours 🙂
T Nicole a paper towel nearby helps a lot. The way I do it is I wipe the brush like every 5 seconds basically and once I am all don’t I put my brush in the monomer and “burp it “ and then I wipe it on the towel again
You have to constantly wipe the brush out on a good paper towel I keep a roll at my table.. & if I have to I’ll clean my brush with acetone as I’m using it because you can’t pick up good beads of acrylic with a dirty brush it’ll stick to the product it’s a mess .. so you just have to clean as you use the brush
Tfs. Very beautiful. I like forms also. I'm still trying to get the hang of fitting them to my fingers without destroying the poor forms. 😂 I recently went to a local salon to get my nails done (give myself a break from doing them myself), and I asked the nail tech if she could use nail forms instead of tips on my nails. She actually said that they don't use nail forms because they believe that nail forms take too long to apply to the fingers and slow down the application time. Yeah, okay, if you say so lady. Smh. Keep doing these wonderful videos; they help me so much. 💞😘🙏
I've been learning on doing nails and practicing on my friend. They always popped off and I never understood why until this video smacked me in the face like the dumb dumb I am 😂😂😂. THANK YOU DO MUCH FOR MAKING THESE!!
I love watching your vids I find them so relaxing! Not trying to be thay person but be careful with the no lift nails primer, I find just a drop in the middle if you watch it will actually spread to almost your whole nail, just too much can damage the helix! Love ya!!!
Giirrrrlll u did an excellent job on your own nails.. Wow... I'm a new subbie.. I'm so glad I found your channel..im looking into nail tech schools..,Tfs.. 👑🌻✨💜
I love asp monomer even the smell of it lol. & those orange buffing blocks are a must have in my opinion. I need to try poochies top coat but I really need to try her realistic practice hand 😂 these look amazing I need to try that glass look. Tfs hun
DeeDee Hernandez nails & all that glitters I love the smell of it too I thought I was the only one😂 but does it not make your acrylic turn yellow? I know it’s not the acrylic itself turning yellow because I wipe my brush with the monomer and the paper towel turns yellow. I don’t know if this happens to you or not?
I have tried so many monomers that includes cnd, which is good & the smell isn’t awful in a vented area it’s not bad at all & enailcouture. Which is awful the worst crap ever it’s awful & for the claim it’s low odor cotton candy scented it’s scented alright but not cotton candy I actually tried it twice.. but recently I on a whim ordered young nails it’s the best I’ve ever used.. it’s so smooth & truly low odor it dries slow it’s so good .. & they sell to everyone on their website now all is welcome licensed or not..
Wonderful I'm glad I found your site yeah I got to do this cause I pick at my nails ugh only when my nails are not done not going to the nail shop and no more press on Lee nails 😂😂😂😂 thank you very detailed tfs
So... I've been binge-watching your videos, since we are quarantined lol. I did my nails along with your instructions today.
Same here! It's cool watching her nail skills get better and better
Me too
How did it turn out was it easy? I want to try but kinda nervous it looks simple.. but sometimes simple doesn’t work for me 😂
Me too I wanna try but I really don't know
Girl me too! Can't get enough! How did you nails come out? I have been doing dip powder for about 8/10 months now and thinking of trying acrylic.
I've been doing my own nails now for 1 year after watching your tutorials. Your videos are really helpful and I'm saving time and $ by doing them myself. Thanks
Preach.
I am doing better designs than what I could have paid for. Sure they aren't perfect, but damn do they look good.
what brushes do y’all use for your acrylic 😭 i can’t find a good one!
I just started after watching her. I save money and I actually enjoy it!
I can't wait to make the same comment
Juleen Forbes 👏🏾👏🏾
That’s exactly how I lay my acrylic down on my clients and myself.😍 Yes it takes a lil longer than the 1 ball method but my clients don’t have to come back for a fill till after a month!

Chrissy_love_animals quality and consistency is how you keep them coming back to make that money! 😜💸
Bertdell Estep Yes it is. Most of my clients have been coming to me for 6 year’s and I’ve been doing nails for 7 year’s. I loooove your work soooooo much!! 😍😍 If you ever decide to do nails for a living, you would make a killing. I totally understand why you’re staying at home for your baby though. 😍😍
Bertdell Estep I’m sorry hun. I didn’t read your name. I thought you were Longhairprettynails. 🤦🏽♀️😘
Come to Jersey... U can do my nails lol 😂

Corona virus don't go out!
Alexis Medina it’s rlly easy u should try it
i know right i already did
“Simple” Lol !!!! These are so Gorgeous without anything on them. Wow I can’t believe how good you are with your non dominant hand.
Who else is binging these videos during quarantine? Man, she's so talented and she makes it make sense. I love that.
Do u have to do the drill or no
Thank you for breaking this down and showing the nail from start to finish. I've watched many of your videos which has inspired me to try this since I'm not loving the polygel and this is very helpful.
Hey can you do a video explaining each bit and how to use it with that nail drill please and thank you
I really always wanted to take acrylics into a career but my Mexican mom basically told me it’s a hobby. But they way you explain it so calmly makes me want to do it again. When I do my own nails I’ll make sure to watch this again.

Barbara Baldwin: Thank You! I really enjoy watching your tutorials. You are one the best! Smile and keep going. Thanks again.
I LOVE THESE CLEAR NAILS!! CLEAR AND SHINY 😍😍😍😍😍
You explain things very clearly; you’re hands down one of my favorites when it comes to nail videos and especially nail tutorials. Thank you! 🥰
I love them. They look fab. Both hands!!!!
I thought it was so satisfying how clear and shiny they were!!🥺🤩
You nails are the prettiest nails I’ve ever saw😂
I just started doing my own nails. So far you’re my favorite nail TH-camr. Thank you
Omg this rly helped me I’m a new nail beginner and I’ve been watching you for the longest tysm!
Because of her , I do my own Aprés dupes now. It’s time consuming as a lefty beginner. But it’s so worth it.
Literally thank you so much. I have been a hairstylist for over 15 years and never ventured into nails but recently the nail place is around here. I have gone really cheap with products and with work and it doesn’t even last two weeks.

Love it, told you, your skills are getting better and better with time! You can't tell which is the tips and which were formed! Amazing!
Nails By Reese you too! I love your videos! You do some very creative designs! 😍😍😍
I’m getting some acrylic soon so I can learn to do my nails by myself and these videos help so much thank you ❤️ 💕
I had ordered some of the tips n got them day b4 yesterday... the 1 actually fit my thumb. I'm soooo excited!!!!
I have always hated the look of long nails and crystals and GIRL you have totally changed my perspective, I love your channel. It’s the only nail channel that I can stand watching so I rewatch all of your stuff lol
What I love about you is that you don’t shout or talk really loudly ❤️ I don’t know why others do that as it just destroys my chill time 😂 Btw I ordered a polygel kit from Ali express but all that came was the extra polygel so I ordered one off amazon and it will be here soon!!!!!!!

I love these beginners nails videos they are on point. 🥰
This is so helpful, thanks! Wish there were more ladies like you with your talent in the nail profession. Nothing against the Asian ladies in the nail shops but it would def be really nice to walk in an American owned nail shop and everyone understands English and they aren't making customers feel like they're talking about them.
Your skills are extraordinary!
Well its not their fault people are paranoid. I’ve personally never felt like that toward Asian nail shops.
They do talk about you. Also lots of studies and “undercover” research have shown majority of the time they are budget nail salons that don’t sanitize and follow proper protocol as they should. They use dirty files, they damage the natural nail bed by digging and over filing, as well as using MMA products which are as we know... horrendous. Your ‘paranoia’ is warranted

just say you're a racist and go
You are freaking amazing. This close up is EVERYTHING.
Very helpful & thorough. Thanks girl!
candice bergstrom hey lady we were just on Tabytha's live, lol I see we watch some of the same ppl lol! Have a blessed day!

candice bergstrom yes me too! I can't wait! I'm actually going to sign up for a class too!
Thank you. I feel like I finally understand the process of applying acrylic. Your nails look so good.
I got these tips because of you and I swear these are my favorite! I have tried so many and the c curve helps my nail strength. Thank you so much! ❤️🥰
They look stunning! This is exactly what I needed thank you! 😍
I can’t believe you can file so good with your right hand.
They look so natural wow!
Clear nails look sooooo pretty

So I have a request... if I may 😉. I can't figure out how to cut these tips shorter but keep a good stiletto shape😕. Could u do a video?
Mandi Coleman we 45ttt55great
Melissa Knott what? 🤔
How short are you trying to go? You may need to get shorter tips rather than cutting the tips shorter. You can find short stiletto tips on Amazon or eBay. When I want really short nails, I just sculpt them. It saves me time and tips! Good luck! 👍🏾
Use clippers
Tuff
BTW This is the perfect nail size♡♡♡♡♡♡
Evie, thank you so much for sharing the last two posts 😉
Very valuable information 💕💕
I love your videos 💕 I’m binging them haha
I like these tips it took me forever to find some straight tips that weren’t curved to hell & back...I also prefer to sculpt with a form.. I’m just better with a form I’m not as good with a tip but it’s whatever you practice & how you were taught.. literally the first nail I ever did was a sculpted nail I just jumped in the deep end head first ...
I'm so excited I just found your channel ❤ I can't wait to practice my own acrylics and shop your store ❤
Great video and beautiful nails! Thank you for sharing! Going to try clear tips /acrylic nails for the first time. Hope mine turn out as nice as yours 🙂
How do you keep the brush from hardening?
T Nicole a paper towel nearby helps a lot. The way I do it is I wipe the brush like every 5 seconds basically and once I am all don’t I put my brush in the monomer and “burp it “ and then I wipe it on the towel again
You have to constantly wipe the brush out on a good paper towel I keep a roll at my table.. & if I have to I’ll clean my brush with acetone as I’m using it because you can’t pick up good beads of acrylic with a dirty brush it’ll stick to the product it’s a mess .. so you just have to clean as you use the brush
Thank You! I had the same question because it wasn't explained in the video.
if it hardens i use acetone
Yoir clear nail design was very nice and beautiful couldn't tell the difference
I enjoy watching your work. You are a great nail tech. This is what work professional looks like. 👍👍👍👍💅💅
Just did my first set of nails ever with my Christmas nail kit ☺️ they turned out a bit iffy but your video is a life saver :) 💜
Wow I just watched this vid and saw the date uploaded and it’s on my birthday what a coincidence
I'm a new subscriber. I've been being watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your talent. Your talent has grown beautifully.
Tfs. Very beautiful. I like forms also. I'm still trying to get the hang of fitting them to my fingers without destroying the poor forms. 😂 I recently went to a local salon to get my nails done (give myself a break from doing them myself), and I asked the nail tech if she could use nail forms instead of tips on my nails.

Keep doing these wonderful videos; they help me so much. 💞😘🙏
They probably do that because it's a way to make more money since they're faster at it.. I could be wrong though
Wonderful video. I’ve been thinking of doing my nails myself as well.
I've been learning on doing nails and practicing on my friend. They always popped off and I never understood why until this video smacked me in the face like the dumb dumb I am 😂😂😂. THANK YOU DO MUCH FOR MAKING THESE!!

Nailed it!
This video was so helpful!! Your acrylic looks like its so easy to work w.. I’m a beginner so I definitely need to try some:)

I think it would be a great idea to go back over these beginner series and see what you would change compared to how you do your nails now.
Thank you so much. You are so professional! X
I just love you're laugh!
Love the job you did
I love watching your vids I find them so relaxing! Not trying to be thay person but be careful with the no lift nails primer, I find just a drop in the middle if you watch it will actually spread to almost your whole nail, just too much can damage the helix! Love ya!!!
This is a wonderful video. Do you have any videos that talk about the appropriate thickness of the nails from nailforms to clear tips?
Thank you for sharing your video - very informative thank you again.
