I have been doing mine for a while and have found the best way is to do one nail at a time and apply polygel to the form before putting it on and you can use your dominant hand for pretty much every step. Hope this helps you
It’s actually not that hard, I used to never paint my actual nails becuase i could never do my right hand but once I started doing gel nails sense their way longer it’s so easy !!
1. you did a great job 2. blend the tips where you glued them before going in with prep products. 3. use the foundation base coat after you use the primer before you use the ibd gel =) will stay on WAYY LONGER it's a great base gel, 4. and you don't need to apply base goat on top of the gel, it makes the gel polish run when you apply it and shrink when you cure it 5. why do you apply so many topcoat layers? you only need one layer =)
I've been doing my own nails for years, acrylic, gel, extension, etc. but for some reason I always like watching other people do their nails even tho I know how lol. Anyways beautiful nails~
Some tips. When applying primer make shure it is not on the skin, only on the nail. It basicly a sticky layer and if it is on skin the gel will stick to it. Dehydrator can be on the skin. With builder gel when you feel it going to sides you can flip ur hand and let it go to the middle. Its actually what u suppose to do wheb you make a nail architecture to have a perfect shap it like levels itself
super cool! these tips were really helpful, I've always wondered how people do their nails at home and now I don't have to spend $50 for acrylics at the salon every time lol. Might try this during quarantine. Have you heard of polygel?
How awful you are to do nails compared to Russia! Go to any master in Russia and he will do everything for you perfectly! And in Russia, nails are built up in a different way!
They look cute from the front but the downside is that they are too flat, you would need a bunch of that builder gel which would become time consuming. I recommend using poly gel instead, if you’re looking for strong and longer lasting nails
I was thinking the same, maybe work more builder gel on the apex to keep it strong and prevent it from snapping & shaping but all good for a home job! I would recommend builder gel in a bottle too
i just did a huge haul from ROMWE with a bunch of nail tips, gems, brushes, led lights etc and can’t wait to start doing them on myself and others! I WAS LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS THANK YOU😩😩😩
No recomiendo poner uñas acrílicas o postizas ya que se te partirian las uñas horible y estarían peor de débiles si eres nueva y quiere ponerte uñas acrílicas o postizas no recomiendo ya que duele inevitablemente la uñas tal vez podría ser un poco mejor uñas en gel con un espero ya que si no lo hace alguien así se te faltarían las uñas y puede tardar meses y meses en recuperación
⚠️DISCLAIMER⚠️ Just please, please do not file down the tops of your nails. When you do this you are thinning down your nails and making them weaker, and if you break through the nail to your skin, damn that does rlly hurt 😢
I can't find any nail salons that kinda push the cuticles and uses nippers, my aunt used to do my nails and it always felt so therapeutic but now it feels like the nail salons aren't meant to be relaxing anymore :( I also don't like hand massages so
JUNE FOONG for me, around 2 weeks but i have a lot of moisture on my hands and nails, and i also work around water so it might last longer for others! i do my friends’ nails and it usually lasts more than 3 weeks.
Yes you should the foundation is their to provide a inhibition layer which is that tacky layer after you cure it. Then proceed to apply the builder gel and cure you can also let it level before curing. Hope this helps
I once got my nails done with builder gel and the freaking heat spikes were DEATHHH but I really wanna try doing them myself and hope I don’t hurt myself lmao
@@shannon9180 oh I dunno if I used the right term lmao but basically when you put the nails in to cure the gel you’ll feel them get really hot in certain spots and it hurts :,-) it usually happens if they layered it to thick
I don't know how long her nails last but my nails last three or more weeks. That is when I'm using gel. With regular nail polish my nails usually last about 2 weeks.
they do!! especially when you have just one on! if you do a full stone nail, you can prevent them getting caught by filling in the spaces in between with clear gel polish.
what is the difference with tips and full cover acrylic nails because i was planning on getting full cover and then i saw this video. does the build gel make your nails brittle? and this video was so nice i love ur nails❤️
It’s been a month since you posted this so is idk if you know it already, but the only difference is the product and the strength. Tips can also be used with acrylic, just as paper forms can be used with builder gel. Builder gel, and polygel for that matter, are softer than acrylic. They are still strong though. And as long as good products are used, you nail won’t become brittle. The things that damage your nails is the prep of the nails and the removal of the product.
@@Popski887 omg thank u sm, i’ve tried full cover fake nails and used nail glue for the first time few months ago and i didn’t know how to remove them so i ended up peeling them off but removing layers of my nails and they are so brittle and weak right now:(
@@amylee8411 Oh that sucks :( I would recommend using cuticle oil (jojoba oil works well for this!) everyday, and file your nails regularly. Some nail polish on your nails wouldn’t be bad either. It makes the nails a little stronger. This can help to grow the nails back stronger.
Nope. You can use acrylic, polygel, builder gel and even dip powder. I wouldn’t just use gel polish over the tips, considering that doesn’t really make the nail stronger.
Does everyone do 2 min of cureing? I only do 1... and I'm having a problem of the gel nails always falling off.. I don't use plastic nails I just add the gel onto mine with those extention stickers. If anyone can help🥲
stop doing do many coats of dehydrator and filling the nail does not damage the nail stop thinking ur a professional bc i have 18 year of practice and nail school so please it’s pissing me of
Sone gelproducts may burn a little bit especially if you're using a higher voltage uv lamp. When it starts to burn just remove your hand for 5 to 10 seconds and then put it back in
@@MyCrimsonMischief actually it is. Cuticles are there to protect your nails from infections. Once the cuticles are removed, bacteria and germs can get in there and grow an infection.
You’re referring to the skin, right? That isn’t the cuticle, that’s the eponychium. The eponychium is live tissue and shouldn’t be cut, but the cuticle is dead tissue and can be safely removed. It is necessary to remove the cuticle for nail extensions like this because the cuticle will not allow the extension to properly adhere.

The only question is how to do it perfectly for the other hand 😅

Paint the extention before

She said her nails are ugly without knowing that my nails is uglier, ghurl you're blessed and I'm jealousss!!
You’re a whole lifesaver with this! I was planning on doing my nails too! I hope you maybe do a video on how to remove them... 😅
Carmen Chen i usually do fill ins! i take off the stones, file the top and do the same process for the part that grew out!
Same
your nails are always so pretty so im glad you went in depth with it here !! thank you for this video, i'll definitely try doing my nails at home !!
I've been doing my own nails for years, acrylic, gel, extension, etc. but for some reason I always like watching other people do their nails even tho I know how lol.
Anyways beautiful nails~
try using a buffer instead of a filer, it'll be softer on your nails!
Loved the nail art, that color is really pretty!
But like how do you do the other hand 😅😅 I’m not good at using my non dominant hand
Can I use regular nail polish on top of this? I don’t own any colored gel polish but I have tons of regular nail polish

Janice Chen yeah! it looks easier but i like doing my nails this way :) maybe i’ll try that out
Don’t do the acetone after filing bc it basically makes filing pointless just go straight to the dehydrator
these are gorg, could you possib;y do a removal process video as well?:)))
The editing is so aesthetic❤️

I recommend putting sunscreen on your hands before so your skin doesn’t get affected by the light
could you make a supplies list of sorts w amazon links? that would be so so helpful!

You are so talented! I found you because of a TH-camr representing you I’ve came to your salon one and I will becom again

If you didnt use dehydrator and bonder would the gel still stick?
T N it does but doesnt last long!
How long do you keep it on?
Does it hurt snipping/removing the access?
Why does mine always fall off after two days 😭😭 ... can it be the glue problem?.. i feel like im doing the technique correctly....

Wait what’s the difference between nail extensions and nail extensions with gel? PLZ SOMEONE HELP ME like I actually searched everywhere and no answer
you're not supposed to file your nail so much, just use nail polish block (100/180 gradation is the best one)
Mine are forever popping off
How long does it last?
Wow you are so good at it !!❤️
I can't find any nail salons that kinda push the cuticles and uses nippers, my aunt used to do my nails and it always felt so therapeutic but now it feels like the nail salons aren't meant to be relaxing anymore :( I also don't like hand massages so
LOVE YOU ❤ 😍 💖 ❣ 💕 💘 ❤
I don’t have a dehydrator what could I use instead?
you can try soaking your nails with acetone to dry it out!

How do you take off the nail extensions? I’m so confused idk how you take them off.
Either file it off or soak it off with acetone. If you are a beginner, soaking it off with acetone will be better for your nails.
@@Popski887 thank you so much 😊 this really helps💕💕
is the builder gel just clear polygel
No. Polygel is a combination of builder gel and acrylic. So polygel is going to be firm, and builder gel is going to be ‘fluid’.
can i use clear polygel instead of builder gel?
Yep! Polygel is just thicker.
ou my got ! so good!
Random q, do the rhinestones get stuck or caught in your hair when you wash it? Lovely vid! Thank you for the detailed tutorial!
I had designs done with a lot of jewels/rhinestones and it always got stuck in my hair😭
they do!! especially when you have just one on! if you do a full stone nail, you can prevent them getting caught by filling in the spaces in between with clear gel polish.

I would recommend using cuticle oil (jojoba oil works well for this!) everyday, and file your nails regularly. Some nail polish on your nails wouldn’t be bad either. It makes the nails a little stronger.
This can help to grow the nails back stronger.
@@Popski887 Omg thank you so much, i literally know nothing abt nails. U saved my nails bruh

Nice nails!
stop doing do many coats of dehydrator and filling the nail does not damage the nail stop thinking ur a professional bc i have 18 year of practice and nail school so please it’s pissing me of
I'm pretty sure yes style did or still do supply Korean gel polishes on their site!
Omg does your nails burn when you cure it with the builder gel?? Mine does and I can’t figure out why.
Try applying it thinner! or curing for a few seconds and then curing again!
Sone gelproducts may burn a little bit especially if you're using a higher voltage uv lamp. When it starts to burn just remove your hand for 5 to 10 seconds and then put it back in
Tip: DON'T remove your cuticles
You remove the cuticles so your nails last and doesn't lift and pop off. Your tip isn't all that helpful.
@@MyCrimsonMischief actually it is. Cuticles are there to protect your nails from infections. Once the cuticles are removed, bacteria and germs can get in there and grow an infection.
You’re referring to the skin, right? That isn’t the cuticle, that’s the eponychium. The eponychium is live tissue and shouldn’t be cut, but the cuticle is dead tissue and can be safely removed. It is necessary to remove the cuticle for nail extensions like this because the cuticle will not allow the extension to properly adhere.
@@MyCrimsonMischief you’re correct, i think the person is confused by the term
@@clusterfawk actually that's not true. If you apply it correctly it should stick
