I don't understand how this video does not have millions of views??? This is beyond perfect
I've been using gel for around 5 years, ever since I watched some of your older videos on doing gel nails. They gave me the courage to do them. You also got me into using an e-file, which I love and that's the only way I do my cuticles now. It never hurts to have a good refresher video on doing gel nails, especially by you! I loved every minute of it, thank you!
I heard it damages nails... do you have any problem with your nail?
I love this video, i like how you left it in real time I certainly can appreciate that.
Beautiful, I’m so jealous of your filing skills.
🙈🙈❤️❤️
Looks fabulous xxx
Since i’m probably never going go to a salon ever again...here i am😂
Me too x
Me too! 😳
Ikr it's expensive and they damaged my nails and when I pointed it out they lady yelled at me
@Alexander Jose bot
me too, in switzerland it's like freaking expensive like a 106 $
Im looking at starting to do nails as a little side business and this video is the only decent one for beginners I have seen on here. The full video without cropping anything out. I have liked and subscribed to your channel so I don't miss anymore of your videos.
@ Chelsea I totally agree 👍
Girl you have definitely mastered using gel. Love the set. I'm going to try this on myself this weekend.
I’m getting gel nails for the first time on my birthday, I’m so excited! Thanks for showing me how it’s done. :)
The gel polish/top coat application was sooo satisfying. Perfect nails as always
A very nice video -- well done.😀
My comment is just meant as a helpful, informative note to educate / to clear up a point of confusion which a large percentage of people have. Please read the following: ⤵️
The CUTICLE is strictly the layer of reminant dead skin cells which are stuck to the NAIL SURFACE from where the EPONYCHIUM was once attached to the nail as new nail structure was being formed right below it. A cuticle layer remains attached to the nail as the nail plate grows (picture cooked-on food that's stuck to a pan and needs to be scrubbed off). The amount of cuticle (debris) differs from person to person, but whether it's imperceivable or heavy, cuticle material can be readily softened (or even "dissolved" [so to speak] by some cuticle removers) enough to be easily/GENTLY scrubbed, scraped, or filled away without damaging the vulnerable area right behind it, where new nail is growing/ being formed, just below the protective, crucial barrier line of EPONYCHIUM (WHICH MOST PEOPLE CALL THE CUTICLE in error).
It's a COMMON MISTAKE for people TO REFER TO THE EPONYCHIUM AS BEING THE CUTICLE -- just as you are doing here. It's surprising how often even trained nail techs get this confused or use the term improperly. THE CONCERN IS THAT with "CUTICLE REMOVAL" being a common term/goal, people don't usually realize they're being too aggressive and even a bit careless with an area they think is the cuticle and can therefore be rather aggressively handled in an effort to remove some of it -- and it's then actually made quite vulnerable and prone to damage due to their actions. AND some damage can be long-term or even permanent, even effecting how the nail grows. Yikes!
IT'S EASY AND BENEFICIAL to routinely REMOVE the CUTICLE tissue properly. The EPONYCHIUMS should be WELL MAINTAINED and KEPT MOISTURIZED, BUT IT'S OFTEN BETTER NOT TO ATTEMPT TRIMMING THEM unless you know exactly what you are doing and proceed with caution, because dead and living cells are side by side along the outermost edge of it.
So, just to confirm: the cuticle is ONLY the now NON-LIVING TISSUE that ADHERES to the NAIL PLATE as it grows away from the eponychium. 💅 In the process of exposing/removing the cuticle during a manicure, the thin, leading edge of the eponychium -- the old, now-dead cells portion of it -- is made more obvious and accessible enough to allow the dead/dry cells line to be ever-so-carefully removed, too, BUT it's extremely easy to accidentally cross that thin line into living tissue, which then usually leads to tenderness, swelling, and even possibly to infection. So take care; go slow and deliberate.
Also, please note: knowledge and skill are needed when working on the cuticle and the eponychium areas due to their immediate proximity to where the nail is being generated. EVEN SEEMINGLY SUBTLE MISHANDLING OF THESE AREAS (such as holding a drill bit at a wrong angle rather than being flush to the nailplate, and/or applying too much pressure with it) CAN LEAD TO PERMANENT DAMAGE WHERE THE NAIL IS GROWING FROM, CAUSING IRREVERSIBLE DEFORMATION OF THE NAIL. This fact is largely overlooked, not explained, or simply ignored.
I've taken the time to explain all of this because I think it's just good to know. I hope this helps many people.😉
Btw: I just searched the word "cuticle" on-line, and many sites came up. The site I happened to tap on and briefly glanced at (I've never seen the site before, & i don't know anything about them) -- nailpro.com/cuticle-guide/ -- looks like it explains the basics, and I noticed it displays a nice illustration, too. I presume the other sites provide the same/similar info.
Thank you!This comment really helped me a lot❤️
I am retired from being a nail tech for fifteen years, I have R.A (Arthritis) the type that deforms your joints, and wouldn't you know , my fingers are really raising hell. I would never come on here and criticize you, as I started the very same way before I went to school. Trial and error, but I worry on just the one thing that I saw, although you have recieved admonishment for it, please don't pay so much attention to cutting. Your file can just clean up that area so much safer. Over the years I saw people come in with nightmarish conditions they did to themselves. I just tried to send them to their Dr. Like filing right through their nailbed, and cutting around the nailbed where you could see how red and inflamed their fingers were, and infected. You are doing an excellent job and all the details will fall into place as you go. I hope you read everything you come across in trade magazines. I used to love love going to Nail Shows, so many new procedures every time, and I was crazy for nail art. My hands are in major discomfort ,and I have to have surgery on my shoulder for rotator cuff. My right pointer finger refuses to bend now. I want to have my nails back after wearing them long for so many years, and I want to do them myself. Sorry hun for rambling on. Oh and after so many years of spending major money on brushes I did learn about going to Joanne's or Michael's for synthetic art brushes, as opposed to natural hair. They are cheap and I would trim them to a chiseled edge. I did gold nails and charms which were da bomb back then. Have fun sweetie and best of everything you do.
You are so sweet 😊
Nancy Peters I’m sorry to hear you have RA and such aching hands and I hope your surgery will go well and I wish you a speedy recovery!
My mom was having arthritic problems too, and back in the fall of 2018 she started to be “locked” in her own body, her hands, thighs, arms were in deep pain and her fingers was starting to not bend or to get stuck.
My mother was hell bend not to get any prescription drugs despite the doctors telling her it would help, instead she turned to holistic and Ayurvedic medicine.
We researched the internet for advice and found several supplements for her. She started on them and her recovery was amazing! She went from not being able to walk very well and hardly able to open a bottle of pills to doing her own gardening and she goes grocery shopping as well.
As a daughter I was SO happy to be able to help my mom with the extended research we did, and to order everything from the internet to save money. And it is pure joy to see her running around doing things herself - as I know she prefers to be independent as long as possible.
She does experience a bit of aches if it’s cold, but a epsom salt hand bath works wonders.
I want to recommend these supplements to you, but perhaps you’re not interested.
Let me know if you are interested and I will comment here. what she takes.
One thing I will recommend tho, is Boswellia. It is simply amazing for arthritis and joint pain.

I never did know what that 'nail fork' as I called it was for, I usually just use cutical nippers. This was a great video I learned a lot.
Right... Me too. I was like, " oh that's what it is used for". We learn something new each day.
I’m glad you mentioned your lamp! I needed a recommendation on the lamp above all. You are very good at explaining and you have a nice voice.
Oh girl first of all the shape and color is perfect. PERFECT! Just love them!
Even though I already know how to do nails this video is sooo good. I love watching your videos and thank you for uploading more regularly. I also love watching videos that are a bit longer because you can show us everything you do ☺️ Love you and take care😘🥰
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Everything about this video was VERY HELPFUL! Especially when you mention the shrinking of the gel polish! No one ever mentions that lol I appreciate you, Thank You 🙏🏼
If there was one good thing about this whole pandemic is the fact that I realized I don’t need to go to the nail salon again and save money😁
Honestly!! You probably have to invest in materials at the beginning, but on the long run doing your own nails at home and buying materials is way, way cheaper.
Plus it’s fun! It’s like art or any other hobby, develops some of your skills and spend time doing something you might like.
your voice is sooo soothing. I've learned so much from your vids ... Thank You!!!
Thank you for this video, I love the En Vogue product. My nails were done for years with this and I have found it to be the best.
me with my natural long nails watching lots of acrylic nail tuts 👁👄👁
Sameeee👁💧👄💧👁
I really like your video and I love your accent. I'm Argentinian and I understood everything perfectly !
Thank you Jessica for this detail video!!! ❤️ I saved it to my favorites. I’ve seen a lot of videos, but yours is so helpful and easy, and even calming to watch & even listen to, from your voice to the music. With the COVID-19 all salons are closed of course and stressing us out, this should help us at least try, until things are somewhat normal again 🙏🏼.
Thank you again and stay safe & healthy!🌹❤️
Thank you for your sweet words dear❤️❤️ I hope you are doing well during these times 😩 hopefully everything will go back to normal or close to normal soon 🙏🏼❤️
I love your videos, voice, style...love it all! Thanks for great content!💗
Hi Jessica,
I'm french but i like so much your videos ! I try to traduce for understand better but it's very difficult when we not speak english a lot. Sorry if my message is not clear. I appreciate you.
What a great video, You are a great & patient Teacher, God Bless You. I took a class some years back & paid for it, They hardly taught me anything at all & it was barely 2 days of teaching . So I really appreciate your ways so much, I subbed 🙂 🌸 🕊️
i found this channel and this is absolutely awesome how you do it on the real time. Really appreciate it and will wait for the other video❤️🔥🔥🔥
That gel color is beautiful!! I’m new to your channel, but I’m thinking we like slot of the same colors already. Beautiful set.
Your also very good at polishing nails.
I’m so glad I found your channel , you made it so much easier for me to do gel nails !
I enjoyed watching your video. I've been doing my nails off and on for years now and I get better everytime But I see that I still need to spend more time on the filing even though I thought I was. But after watching your video I see I need more time. Your nails turned out so perfect. Thanks again for this very detailed video
Just found your channel and I am so happy I did. You explain everything very well and that’s what I needed
im going to the nail salon friday and needed guidance on if i want acrylic or gel and just the basics so i know what to get, and thid was amazing!
This is so relaxing to watch and so informative!! Can't wait to get my gel drill bits and lamp, eeee 🤍
I’m a new sub and also a nail tech. This was so relaxing I almost fell asleep xxx
Right??😂
I love the long videos. Just found you so looking forward to catching up with your videos. X
Tfs. You just reminded me that I need to order a new nail brush. Mine is too rough for my skin. 😭
GOD bless you all. GOD Loves you all.
I will keep watching your video is neat the way you do the gel nails.
Thank you for showing us all of your prep steps - it was helpful
Your shapes come out so pretty. Mine never look that good.
Would you recommend using a slip or wet layer for beginners? I found that helps me so much, but I’ve never used this gel! Thanks for doing a slow beginners video very helpful
Absolutely! A slip layer can really help distribute the product on the nail ☺️
Love the cuticle nipper you have. You make look so effert less 💜
I just ordered a beginner set. I am here to learn somethinnngg
I could listen to you all day!! Wonderful video and talk about skills!😊😊
I like how you take your pace on this video
I am trying to learn every technique there is
Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing this great video!! Love from Portugal
I’m practicing and ive done three of these sets so far and 2 out of the 3 sets lifted... it’s so frustrating figuring out what I’m doing wrong 😔
OMG thank you so much!!! I never thought this would be so easy!!!
Thank you for such an insightful real time video! The fact that you do in less than an hour what takes me half a day gives me hope one day i will also manage my time on nails better. I have only one problem, my UV lamp never seems to do any work with a gel layer thick (by thick i mean like in your clip). It it possible that the lamp is too weak?
Thank you so much for this video I really loved it I’m gonna try to look through your videos and get inspiration and try to understand how to begin in the nail industry and what products do I need thank you you are amazing
A tip that I have that will save you a bit of filing time at the end is after you extended your nails, cleanse the nails and file them into your shape. Then cleanse them again and build up the nail with gel. I think that is a bit easier than building up the entire nail and then filing it into shape. It just takes a bit longer in my opinion. You need to be careful if you do it this ways because if you file to aggressively or the extension isn’t thick enough your tip could fall off so just keep this in mind.😊
Hey dear
I use to do my nails like that and I’m going back to that way.
Omgg that's amazing I new to this and I bought my stuff to learn, thank you for this amazing learning video 🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful set of gel nails as always 😍
Love it!!! Great tutorial!!! Thank you!🙏🏽🥰❤
Love that beautiful nude colour 🤩
How do you people with such long nails text, type or pick up things from the floor?
Thank you very much. That's good video. I beginner to nail art but I love jel nail after watch your video💖
If we like to purchase a startkit with all the essentials for new beginners - where would you suggest we purchase all at once to get started?
Enjoyed watching your video this was really helpful because I always have problems with my cuticle ( not very neat) Thank you for sharing x
That's great 😍 I also use en vogue for my gel uv nails. Love working with this 💖
I learned a lot from this video 😊
I luv the way you does.and its a refresh for me too.thanks for the tutorial.
Is builder gel the same as foundation/ or base gel? Can I use base gel for full cover tips?
Hi nice job I really enjoyed this video. I do have a question if I do get that rippling effect when polishing how do I fix this. Especially when the nails and polish are Gel. On my natural nail I just soak the polish off and start over but I really want to put gel on my nails so, can you give me your advice. 😁
Wow you're good thanks for this awesome video I am hoping to do my own soon ! Actually pretty excited since you explained everything so well😍😍👍
Love love your videos. I actually bought EnVogue products b/c of you and I absolutely love them. Was wondering if maybe in the near future you can do a short video of how to take care of the gel brushes. I also do acrylic nails and I know that in order for my brush to stay in good condition I leave it with monomer. The bristles on my gel brushes are starting to open up and get all funky. Maybe you have something you do with your brushes that you can share with all of us. Thanks in advance!!!
Which lamp did you say you used? I don't see it listed on your products used.
Is that stuff your putting under the nail glue ? W.the white stick ?
Can we put normal regular nail polish or do we have to use the gel polish on gel nails?
Does anyone here use hands for eating ?my nails are always yellow for turmeric in curry!
Same here, just switch to spoon whenever u eat cs tats how I do 😂hard around family sometimes 😆
How do you clean the brush out? I know with polygel you have to use alcohol. Do you have to use alcohol with regular gel?
Awesome hunni love them xx
Simply amazing !! I'M so in love with all you do all your videos and your way of work.. Im tunisian (north africa) and living in egypt first i want to say that i have never get trained i learned everything from you... And i'm a nail artisy for almost 4 years now... My only problem is that unfortunately we arabic ppl don't have such good quality of material i buy almost everything from aliexpress but i can't buy the en vogue gels and tops as its only restriced for américains and europeens wich makes me very sad if there are any good quality gel that you advice me to buy from aliexpress please tell me... Love u Jess
Keep on doing your amazing work !!
They're stunning
Hi, I was just wondering which e-file from AliExpress you’re using? Also does it take long to deliver?
I have a link of this file in my video about filing the nails. It takes usually a month before delivery, because it’s from China 🙈
Jessica Angelique Winsenne thank you 😊
Thank you this will help a lot, I want to get into doing gel nails
Hi. Love your videos!! I’m a diy, and I’m looking for a gel system that I can purchase without a license? I’m in the USA... Thanks
I like your demonstration. It's really good. Can I ask you a question?
Hey i love your videos im a new comer will need new product on gel polish and gel nails what are your best starter products
How come your gel is soo soft mine is super sticky and hard how can I make it softer like that?
im brasilian but, i loved the DIY, congratulations.
What does ‘cure’ mean ? Also, did you dry the nails under a UV led lamp?
when you say "cleanse the nails with an alcohol" do you use an actual rubbing alcohol?
What product id this i want to buy the same
Beautiful ! Are your products available in the Beauty Supply Store ? & Do you do you do this for a living ?
Can you over-cure the nail?I mean is it a problem if you cure it for 90 seconds or 150?
They look beautiful
I would try this, I’m sure I can do it. But when it comes the time to do the right hand… I have no chance to do it with my left hand
Love your videos. I'm following you for a long time now.❤
When you do your own nails do you do your dominant hand first or not?
Pretty hands and oh I love your ring!
Beautiful why you dont Use Base coat im sorry for my question 🙂✌️😘😘
Hi I really like see your videos they're interesting and very useful.
Please could you tell me what kind products you use and the brands.
Thank you very much 😊.
Good blessing you.
Love the color!
Do you need to use base coat after the primer?
How do you clean the brush after using gel??
Hi jessica thanks so much for this very good learn turtorial
I feel like this is a dumb question since the skin around the nails aren't the same, but could you use that file on your foot? Like the hard skin? I've tried so many things (except exfoliating masks but I'll get around to it) and nothing seems to work.
Also I thought the shaping would be super difficult but it seems doable. Probably gonna need lots of practice but it doesn't look as difficult ad I thought
Yes you can but use use a lower grit sanding band. There are some specific bits for use on feet. Don't use on hands after you've used on your feet though always throw away. If it's really bad you could use the blade Pedicure file. But be very careful with it as they are sharp they're available on ebay or amazon
@@atonewithnature_ ok thank you, I've used razor blades before too so I'm fine with sharp stuff
These can only be purchased by nail technicians :( are there any products like the simply blush gel that can be bought without being certified?
Sorry dear, I’ll find some products that everyone can use as well.. just need to do my research 🙈
@@jessica_0117 Hi Jessi pls do i have to fix nails before the gel?
What gel do you recommend with thick viscosity similar to the one used on the video? Please let me know. This set is beautiful❤️
Hi dear ❤️ I have never seen a gel like this before, I honestly don’t have anything to compare it to because it’s not really that thick, it just doesn’t move by itself. If you can try it you really should ☺️
This is a really really good video thank u so much 💕
Love the music!🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️💅💅💅💅
I would love to have you do my nails! Great tips!
