Thank you for waiting four weeks to show us how to properly do a backfill/rebalance. Most people usually wait three to four weeks between services. Perfect timing. Dry e-file manicures have changed my nail life!. I used a ball bit for my current manicure. My cuticles look perfect!!. Now, I just need to perfect painting so I do not get flooding. Lol
Let me just say, i'm a licensed cosmetologist and you, Celina, and Suzie have taught me more about nails than school EVER did. I am so incredibly thankful for you ladies, even if I only ever do nails on myself.
I have literally learned more from this tutorial than any of the courses i have done . I dont understand why courses dont show us in detail . Thanks for sharing my confidence has risen Amen 😊
When you said: "...this might be enough incentive to get you to become a nail technician." - honestly, Light elegance was the tipping point for me! I was watching all those pretty glitters and couldn't buy them and was sooo frustrated because yeah, there are other glitters and then there are LE glitters. One day, last year, after winter collection launch I finally flipped and now I am a nail tech and I have LE glittergel obsession. 😂
I also appreciate your "sacrifice" (LOL) of waiting to show us the correct process, as well as your humor, and the way you explain everything so thoroughly. I'm learning so much!!
I've learnt and used all your methods of building a hard gel extension (my first ever) and they're now due for a backfill, how timely! I love how this series is like an online course (I did my homework too!) except that it's free and in many ways better than ALOT of the things some educators put out. Thank you Liz 💖
Can I just say without hesitation that you’re absolutely the very best educator on TH-cam. Why you aren’t in the millions of subs is a complete baffling mystery to me. I recently switched to gel and you cover everything. Thank you so much for not holding back anything. Because of you I love gel now.
@@raya74 I use non acetone occasionally. I've not tried it to remove the sticky layer. The recommendation is alcohol. Liz's recipe for cleanser take care of the inhibition layer and adds an extra sanitation step. I keep it on my table and use it for so many things.
I have done nails for over 37 yrs and have seen so many ladies doing their thing. I taught for yrs and u sound just like I used to teach the class. Great job!!!!!!!
Eloquent, intelligent and easy to understand instructions, Liz! I learn an enormous amount from your videos! You deserve a trophy....love it, love nails, keep it coming! xxx
Saw you at Suzie’s channel and came straight to yours. You’re so knowable, clear on pointing out the key aspects of what you’re doing. Plus your ironic sense of humor is great and a reflex of intelligence. Congrats and thank you for your “sacrifice” by refraining from doing your nails. 😂. I’ve learned a lot and I’m not an esthetician. 🙏🏻
Thank you for taking the time to explain in detail how to apply the gel polish. I never thought of starting with the tip and working my way back. Then tipping the nail down to push the gel up to he cuticle is a game changer. I've been doing my nails for years and watching videos. It wasn't until this video with you actually saying what you are doing did I get it. Thanks a million!
thank you, the penny is beginning to drop and everything is coming together with your videos, thank you! i have placed an order , i could spend a small fortune if i could but bit by bit i am collecting what i need to make my dreams come true.keep the coming! xx
Wow watching you makes me realize that the girls that do nails in my area totally do not know what they are doing and this is why my nails always fall off a week after they are done!
I went for a basic gel coat and they couldn't even get that right. It lasted a couple days before chipping and I was so disappointed. She was telling me how it would last 2 weeks and help my nails grow. I was so mad! I got my own gel afterwards and haven't been back to the salon. My manicures aren't always perfect but I can still get more wear than a couple days.
I know this is unrelated but .. I just got in my the nail hub mat in the mail!! Super excited and was pleasantly surprised at how big it is ! I'm in love!! Thanks Liz for putting in all the time and money you did making this ! Can NOT wait to use ! Get to try it out first thing tomorrow !
EXCELLENT WITH YOUR EXPLANATIONS AND TEACHING!!!! I Loved that you were repetitive and visual allowed a better understanding, as well as the speed and clarity of your voice. I'm definitely subscribing to your channel ...If all of your videos are this detailed I just found a winner...Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Thank you very much once again for your videos! You are one of the most informative persons out there who takes the time to fully explain the process and techniques. I have learned more just from your videos than watching too many videos from others which caused more confusion than anything else. From the bottom of my heart a great big THANK YOU LIZ!💖💖💖
I just wanted to say thank you so very much for taking of your precious time to teach nail art. I have learned a lot in the few videos I have seen, and hope to learn more as I go. I am not a professional; nevertheless, I love the art expression in doing nails. I have been doing nails on myself for the past three years, learning little-by-little from other nail tutorials. Your videos, however, have been the most educational and detailed I have seen thus far. No one ever talks about lefties and left-handed bits, for example. I am a lefty, so I deeply appreciate that information. That is just one small example of the many things I have learned from you that have changed the way I do my nails for the better. Again, thanks :)
Your videos are phenomenal. Every last one of them. You are so informative and professional. I really enjoy your style of video, so much so that I truly believe you're the best channel out here on TH-cam for all things nails.
First off I want to make it clear that I'm not subscribed and this popped up in my recommended. When I first clicked on this video I literally said " Holy Sh*t a whole hour??? Who is gone watch an hour video on nails?!? I bet she's just talking her life away." Literally not kidding I said that. But here I am AN HOUR LATER!! Feeling so much more knowledgeable about nails and how to repair and file them! I thought u would have been rambling but everything you said made sense! Your camera is really good and I was able to see everything! Wow amazing video and I'm definitely subscribing!
Thank you so much. You're a great teacher. I've watched a lot of nail how to videos and you're the best at really explaining not only how to do something but also WHY you're doing it a certain way. I'm a DIYer and I've just learned more from this one video than all the others combined. Thank you!!
I just Love your videos! I’ve learned so much I forgot when I went to cosmetology school 30 yrs ago. My memory has refreshed and I’ll be ready to do my own nails soon.
I just wanted to say, hands down great video. I love that you are very detailed. It is important to be. I am a Nail Instructor and I have a hard time finding good videos to show my students. I just wanted to thank you for doing a great job.
Love your videos they are so informative and helpful. I started doing my own nails about 1 year ago and have become pretty good at it but now that I have become better I find myself wanting to learn more and how to perfect how I do my nails. You are so detailed and descriptive that by the time I am done watching them most of the time you have answered the questions I am trying to find. Thank you so much for the time you put into them.
People actually get upset when you say paint vs. polish?? If you want to get down to brass tacks, polish isn’t correct, either, as the substances are lacquers, not polishing compounds. Why debate semantics when we can just learn from a wonderful teacher? Let’s stay positive and appreciate the time and effort that goes into each video.
Thank you so very much for an amazing video! I have subscribed as I will be applying polygel nails for the first time and YOUR AMAZING SITE is the ABSOLUTE BEST SITE I've come across! Thanks to YOU I am now confident that my polygel nails will turn out beautifully as well as the fill-ins! Great job!!! 🌱 💅 💗 💅 🌼 💅 💗 💅 🌿
💞💞💓You are an incredible tutor. Your detailed explanations of each step make learning so much easier and comprehensive 🥰💕I have a question: after blending the hard gel onto my nail, can I leave it for the day until I have time to finish it the next day? Unfortunately, I ran out of time and unable to complete all the steps. Do I need to apply a protective layer on top of the nails before leaving them unfinished? Please excuse my lack of experience with manicures and hard gel - this is my first attempt ever!
If I build a perfect nail and I'm satisfied with the shape and thickness do I still need to finish file the whole nail even the surface of the nail before I put color on? Thank you, your videos are awesome and super informative ♥️♥️
No! If you work your magic and the nail looks perfect the first time around, by all means skip the finish filing and go straight into your next layer of color or top coat or whatever. That's actually a great goal is to be able to do a nail perfectly like that when possible and move on! :)
I have to agree with Beauty with Evie beauty school teaches you nothing compared to what you have giving us. This video has taught me and answered so many questions I have about the white lifting spots, I usually took everything off and started over and how to build back the apex. THIS IS GREAT!! THANK YOU
This is the exact video i was looking for, so informative and well explained! Im new to gel nails and just bought my first e-file, been doing rubber base for like 4 months now and wanted to start filling them instead of removing them completely every three weeks, anyways thank you so much for your content! Its amazing 🙌🙌
Ik vind nail career en nail hub fantastisch, gaaf om beide, de drie verschillende soorten van nagelstyls ieder in hun eigen manier bewerkt te zien. De nail hub is super informatief over de voors en tegens van gel en nail career gaat overal mee aan de slag. Beide zijn voor mij echte voorbeelden (Die geen Nederlands verstaan) wat betreft het studeren voor nagelstyliste! Super!!
I love the way you take time to do the back fill for those of us who really doesn't know the in depth procedure....am a jamaican nail artist just starting out and I would love the detail for that drill...thanks in advance
Thanks soo very much for this complete detail gel nail! I just did mine last Saturday for the 1st time, you have helped soo very much, I need to fix mine the right way tomorrow! God bless you🙏🙏💕
I have two questions first of all when u file the underneath does that mean if the nail was to break off there would be no natural nail I've herd some people say that it can effect the balance off the nail is this true. Also how do you calm your nerves I've booked an acrylic course I haven’t been in the kinda learning classroom situation for a while now. Im looking forward to it but also really nervous incase I mess up and be the only one messing up. Silly questions I know but I needed to ask someone that teaches and has been taught and you are so amazing at what you do why wouldn’t I ask you.
Gorgeous color, and then the glitter! Love it! I did my first gel manicure yesterday. Looks good (though not perfect) thanks to your excellent teaching.
52:39 BLESSS YOU!! 🤧 btw yesss I appreciate you growing your nails and having gross cuticles and eponychiums 🙊💕 I learned soooo much as a self taught nail tech in just a few of your videos! Very informative and appreciated THANK YOU
Thank all of you for Taking the time to help and show us all the best information about Nail Art, Just like everyone else has said, it has helped me so much about learning how to do it for myself, and it definitely is an amazing form of Art, I love to DIY, Thanks again 😊♏
Good to know that this stiffness of the brush is normal. I've been following your advice on my brushes but thought I might be doing something wrong because of that stiffness. The warming up as you call it really does make a difference
Thank you Liz for sharing your knowledge..Iv been a sideline nail tech for years, now I want to get back into the business.. thank you for helping me achieve my ultimate goal🌷
So this is a complete game changer as I’ve never seen it done. You backfill with your soak off hard gel, file/shape, then gel Polish, hard gel glitter and then straight top coat. Wow. How long does this last and how durable us this please. I assumed you had to one step or hard gel over the gel, then top coat. This way that you demonstrated is a time saver.
Thank you, I so miss going to my nail salon 💅 during this quarantine! I bought a beurer e file. I may not be able to do all that you do, I am trying to figure out how to take my shellac off my acrylic nails. I don’t t know if I will be able to do a fill ! Very interesting thanks 🙏🏻
Just a quick note about fluffy brushes. You can absolutely sanitize them!:) not in between each client because of dry time, but you can wash it like you would a makeup brush (soap and water below where it meets the metal part) then dip or spray barbicide, let sit for 10 mins, then rinse off and let dry. I don’t know if this works for natural hair brushes, but it’s just fine for artificial hair ones. Just thought I’d let others know it is possible (although a bit of a headache, yes) if they prefer using them. You’d have to have a lot of them to be able to use a different one for each client, and then have the brushes dry overnight.
Hi yes you definitely can clean them but most state boards of cosmetology do not allow these to be used on clients because they cannot be cleaned properly between each client. Just keep that in mind.
Can't say enough how much I appreciate your videos! I started dabbling in gel polish a couple of months ago, stumbled upon your videos while trying to learn how to properly apply and take off. Your joy in what you do is evident in how well you teach, it has been a blessing! Thank you!!!
Great video! Do you recommend shortening the nail before or after (as shown in the video) product removal? Also, some day can you do a video on shortening and reshaping a almond shaped nail during a fill? Thanks so much for the information 💕 I always look forward to your videos on Mondays. I’ve learned so much from watching them that I didn’t learn when taking my initial course as a gel nail tech ☺️
Which efile would you suggest for home use that isn't the most expensive, but has a good torque and will last a long time. I live in the EU , so can I use a transformer with your efiles? The one I have doesn't have a good torque, it has good speed, control and has a good hand piece, but the torque is off. Pls give me a suggestion as to a exile that has a nice hand piece, good torque and good speed control, but not too expensive, since it is mostly for my own use. Love your videos! They are so informative. More info than my nail school. Thanks.
Thanks for this video! I was kinda sick, so I let my mani go longer than ever before, and now I've got a dire backfill situation. I love doing my nails with these videos to give me confidence. Fabulous glitter! But how come you don't cap your free edge?
Thank you for waiting four weeks to show us how to properly do a backfill/rebalance. Most people usually wait three to four weeks between services. Perfect timing.
Dry e-file manicures have changed my nail life!. I used a ball bit for my current manicure. My cuticles look perfect!!. Now, I just need to perfect painting so I do not get flooding. Lol
ladyinmauve i hear that! Painting is my least favourite part of doing nails. Always ruins my otherwise good work. Lol 😭🙈😭
Let me just say, i'm a licensed cosmetologist and you, Celina, and Suzie have taught me more about nails than school EVER did. I am so incredibly thankful for you ladies, even if I only ever do nails on myself.
Same. Nail tech school didn't teach me much and it was so expensive.
You should also check out Kristy from Naio Nails she's freaking amazing
@@Bella.216 I second that! So many talented teachers on here ❤️❤️
Same here. Totally agree.
You are totally right Evie. I love their channels. They explain everything in such detail and understanding. I am a full on Subscriber. 😄👏💅👍
I think I speak for everyone when I say, "YES, we appreciate your sacrifice!" 😀
Thank you, Liz, for making my Monday a great day again!

Their glitters are awsome

This series is my favourite! I’ve learned so much from watching your videos 😀
One of the most Comprehensive tutorials for fill in I have seen. Thank you so much for the detail.
Another in depth and really informative video. You are one of the best nail specialty teachers out there. Thank you!😊
I definitely agree. I really appreciate her patience and how she explains things in ways i can understand.
Can I just say without hesitation that you’re absolutely the very best educator on TH-cam.
Why you aren’t in the millions of subs is a complete baffling mystery to me.
I recently switched to gel and you cover everything. Thank you so much for not holding back anything. Because of you I love gel now.
Your recipe for cleanser has saved my life! I LOVE IT!! Love ALL your videos. They have helped me so much. Thank you!!
What do you think about using non acetone polish as a cleanser or isopropyl alcohol?
@@raya74 I use non acetone occasionally. I've not tried it to remove the sticky layer. The recommendation is alcohol. Liz's recipe for cleanser take care of the inhibition layer and adds an extra sanitation step. I keep it on my table and use it for so many things.
this is GOLD! I can't stop watching these videos, I learn so much from them omg.

Thank you Liz for sharing your knowledge..Iv been a sideline nail tech for years, now I want to get back into the business.. thank you for helping me achieve my ultimate goal🌷
I’d like to know how to backfill my dip powder polish instead of taking it of completely every 2-3 weeks the reaction to acetone isn’t the best. TIA
No one teaches like you do. Thank you!
U r the best teacher...😍
I love all your videos I am learning from you to do my own,,thank you. Is it the same concept for acrylic fill?
So this is a complete game changer as I’ve never seen it done. You backfill with your soak off hard gel, file/shape, then gel Polish, hard gel glitter and then straight top coat. Wow. How long does this last and how durable us this please. I assumed you had to one step or hard gel over the gel, then top coat. This way that you demonstrated is a time saver.

Just a quick note about fluffy brushes. You can absolutely sanitize them!:) not in between each client because of dry time, but you can wash it like you would a makeup brush (soap and water below where it meets the metal part) then dip or spray barbicide, let sit for 10 mins, then rinse off and let dry. I don’t know if this works for natural hair brushes, but it’s just fine for artificial hair ones. Just thought I’d let others know it is possible (although a bit of a headache, yes) if they prefer using them. You’d have to have a lot of them to be able to use a different one for each client, and then have the brushes dry overnight.
Hi yes you definitely can clean them but most state boards of cosmetology do not allow these to be used on clients because they cannot be cleaned properly between each client. Just keep that in mind.
I learned a LOT from this video. Thank you, Liz!
Can't say enough how much I appreciate your videos! I started dabbling in gel polish a couple of months ago, stumbled upon your videos while trying to learn how to properly apply and take off. Your joy in what you do is evident in how well you teach, it has been a blessing! Thank you!!!
Wonderful I love watching your videos even I am a beginner doing my own nails. Thank you!.
Great video! Do you recommend shortening the nail before or after (as shown in the video) product removal? Also, some day can you do a video on shortening and reshaping a almond shaped nail during a fill? Thanks so much for the information 💕 I always look forward to your videos on Mondays. I’ve learned so much from watching them that I didn’t learn when taking my initial course as a gel nail tech ☺️
I loved this video, thank you for posting it. Can you do the same thing but with a stiletto nail? And talk about a refill/ rebalance as well.
Hello great work to you love it,where can i buy the same head driller machine like this video Thank for your respone 😊
Which efile would you suggest for home use that isn't the most expensive, but has a good torque and will last a long time. I live in the EU , so can I use a transformer with your efiles? The one I have doesn't have a good torque, it has good speed, control and has a good hand piece, but the torque is off. Pls give me a suggestion as to a exile that has a nice hand piece, good torque and good speed control, but not too expensive, since it is mostly for my own use. Love your videos! They are so informative. More info than my nail school. Thanks.
This has been so very helpful! Thanks so much!
Thanks for this video! I was kinda sick, so I let my mani go longer than ever before, and now I've got a dire backfill situation. I love doing my nails with these videos to give me confidence. Fabulous glitter! But how come you don't cap your free edge?
Your videos are always so helpful and informative. Thank you!
