OMG! I was thinkg about this for some time now, like "how can you cap the free edge if the nail is too short?" and I always have the issue where my gel peels super easy, now I know why!!! Also, you help me with the tip of round corners... OMG, thank you SO MUCH!!!! I really appreciate all your videos and the way you teach!!! THANK YOU!!!
Ditto.... Thank you for helping us all.
DITTO!! Thanks
I’m SO happy I found this video as my nails are very short due to work. I was having trouble, just like you said, with getting the product all over my skin and then trying to get it off without really messing things up! I’m very grateful for you sharing your knowledge, thank you! ❤️🙂
Why have I never thought of using nail forms?! Thank you so much!
Wow. Thank you so much. Because of this whole pandemic I had to soak off the acrylic I had on mine. They were lifting bad. (I don't think I can wear acrylic. Have to find a hard gel tech) so after taking off my acrylic my nails were really thin, so they all broke down to nubs. I have thin nails to start with that brake easy. That is why I wear enhancements. But I miss having gel on. Was wanting to paint them, but had no clue how to do it with out getting gel all over my skin. Thank you so much.
I've just had my natural nails done...its the BEST! I'm a homesteader so working with crops and animals means I cant have long nails (it's dangerous enough) but now I can actually feel more feminine with a more permanent nail covering solution!! Woohoo!!
You have the best nail videos on here. Thank you for showing steps so clear. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much! What a Wonderful tip, especially the blue painters tape for frugal budgets like mine. 👍 Really appreciate it!
heck yes. i've got short nails and this is so good.
this video was very informative! i work in a cleanroom lab, so my nails have to be kept very short, and we also can't use any non-chipping nail polish, so I've been trying to learn how to do gel polish myself. it's been very confusing and i have so many questions, but this has helped me get a grasp on the process!
This is brilliant! Thank you. I have a client working on nail biting, and her thumbs are still super short - this will be so helpful.
I love how thoroughly you explain every step without endless chatter.
IKR most people just go on and on about random stuff like- girl we came here for a tutorial not a story time-
I'm definitely going to try this, I have short nails and do my own gel and can never get them to cap correctly. Thank you!
Best tutorial ever!!! You're amazing
Wow!! So much helpful and thoughtful information! Thank you!
This is so informative. Dang-thank you!
This was the most informative video I’ve watched 😍 thank you
this worked SO welll! thx
I've been looking for a video showing how to do this!! Thank you!!
This is a perfect video for me honey. Thank you so very much xxxx 🥰
Thank you for that great tip. I will use it in the future.
This is great!!! Thanks for the tip! ☺️
Very good tutorial, thank you! One question, is it not necessary to use a builder gel to get that little bit of length or is it okay to use regular gel polish in this case because the added length to the nail is so slight?
It depends on the gel polish you are using. I use true gels so they act more like a gel instead of a nail polish or thin gel polish. They can withstand some length (microscopic like I show here). Anything longer that goes past the tip of your finger would require a gel with more structure and strength. You could easily add something like Luxio Build (one of my favorite soak off bottled builder gels) to create more length than what I show here. Check it out on our site thenailhub.com.
You make it look so easy to apply the nail forms. I wish and I wonder if there is a tool that you could rest your finger on. And it would push the bottom of your finger where the fingerprint is, the pad, back so that you can paint and cap a shorter nail. Do you know of such a tool? Thanks so much. ☺️
This was so helpful! Thank you!
Liz, this is genius
Wow I never thought to do this! This is amazing, thank you!!
Hmm. Wonder if all 5 fingers fit in an led cure? Painters tape would be less bulky. Thanks for the instructions.
awesome!!! thank you
This is great! Thanks for the tips!
Hello Liz, if your a beginner on gel nails can you tell me what exactly can I use as a beginner? Can I use just a base to protect my nails? Can I use a non gel polish on just base gel? Thank you
Thank you so much! I'm a new subscriber and I recently started experimenting with doing my own gel mani 💅 I'm in love of your videos, they're super easy to understand and you're an awesome mentor ❤
I have a question and I think you can help me - on both of my thumbs my nail grows funny, my cuticle skin is attached to my nail I’m not sure why this is and I’ve had it for ages now and it doesn’t look nice. I want to fix it, any recommendations or help would be much appreciated xx
Really good tip
Great tips!!
Very helpful
Hi, I have a question! Is it a good idea to apply sunscreen to my hands before getting a gel manicure? Thanks
Why would you do that? I'm curious.
Jodi Devenport UV exposure
You can but it ends up adding oil to the situation which can cause problems if you accidentally get it on your nails. You really don't get a lot of UV exposure when doing your nails. There's a bunch of great studies on it. Here's a good one written by reputable nail industry experts. cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0183/4271/files/UVNailLights.pdf?338
The Nail Hub ok thank you for answering, and for the article :) I’ll check it out. Stay safe!
Thank you so much
That was a really good tutorial, thank you :-)
I like to use washi tape. It's smaller than masking or painters tape. It's also easy to peel off skin. And it's pretty.
Liquid latex is also good. They make it for skin and cosmetic use. I don't know if it actually contains rubber latex or not. Allergies should be a consideration. Anyway it's easy to apply it paints on like nail polish and it's sold with polish at Sally Beauty Supply.
Thank you 💘💘💘
That was awesome thankyou so much!
I am trying to learn to do my own gel nails and have never had them done at a salon before. I watched other videos and they used some protein bond and ph stuff first.. Does this mean I dont need o purchase that? My naturals nails tend to be a long so no skin shows thankfully.
Thank you🥰
I genuinely wear through the tips in like a day on my thumbs and index fingers...
Brilliant!!
What lamp is the safest ?
Can you actually show it with painters tape please
Being this is 2 years old are these techniques still up to Date ?
Thanks this was super helpful! My nails are short like this and the entire nail color will pop off sometimes. I will try this
Hi, What can be the reason for my gel nails not to be as shiny like they are in the nail salon?
I like it ❤️
Hi there. I wanna ask.
Is the buffering thing a must to work with the peelable nail polish?
I was thinking of getting the peelable Resepi Nail Polish from the NITA Cosmetics by the way.
Many thanks
Love this !!! ❤️❤️❤️
What does it mean when the natural nail flares out?
Super 😍❤ thanks 🙏 o
The more general gel polishes ( OPI, Orly, Alessandro etc kind of types ) with them you wont be able to do that "lenghten a bit " thing, since as far as i have understood with working with those general ones.. they are too runny( thin... ) As You previously have also told that the polishes You work, they are more real gel type of polishes.. so that with them You are able to play around like that. Tho i might not be correct ..
I need to do gel manicures idk why every time I get acrylics my natural nails just get soo brittle to the point where when it’s time to remove them it’s so painful
Tbh whats the difference between gel polish and arcylic nails?
Doesn’t acetone or alcohol remove the nail polish ?
Alchohol only cleanses the nail, including taking off the stickiness you will get with some gel top coats. Acetone only takes gel off after buffing and soaking the nail for at least 10 minutes.
THANK YOUUUU! Definitely will see if this helps me! 😍🤩🥳🥰
As a nail biter of 15+ years, THANK YOU!!
Well, guess I’ll just have to say
YOU DO OUR PROFESSION PROUD!!! 71 yo who let the license lapse last year , and sure enough, you go and teach an old (b-ch) dog new tricks 🥴. Always wore acrylic nails, watched your tutorials , and am now a convert !!! Who’d a thought ??? Elizabeth, if you’d been born 40 yrs ago and knew what you know now we’ll...there would be a whole lot less of infection and fugus and OMG!! Thank you, thank you and bless your heart, sweetie, for all you’re doing for this profession. Bless you and yep, Luminary has changed my life. Blessings, hugs, and if you were my granddaughter I’d be makin’ you tamales and cream puffs!!! Hugs
I’ve learnt more from this video than I have in the last 6 months of my nail course. Thanks so much! X
Me toooooo
You're nail course was months?
I just saw this. I am newly retired and on social security and have sucked and doing my own nails. I missed my gel nails but I did this today after watching your tutorial and I AM AMAZED❤❤❤❤ Thank you so much! You made my day!!!

My whole nail journey started with me just trying to figure out some problems I was having with my gel polish. If I had found this video first I probably never would have learned how to do extensions lol. This is great info, I've been making a mess out of my daughter's super short nails, she will appreciate it! ❤
Thank you so much! That was so helpful. I’m not a pro, but rather do my own nails. I just clipped all my nails very short. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us. Be safe, be well. 💜🙏🏻💜
Thank you! I could never grow my nails, and once they were nice and long and in good shape, i realized i hate long nails on myself :( this was just what i needed right now!
Excellent tutorial! This has always been an issue for me when I’ve tried to do my own gel nails.😄
This was so helpful! I have always struggled to put gel polish on my tiny nails and this trick can be a saviour from all the extra messy cleanup. ✨💓
I didn’t know I could file the gel like that! Fantastic. And now I know why the salon would never cut my nails as short as I wanted. I’m so glad I don’t have to go back there. They always told me I looked tired, which I thought was kind of shitty.
I like that having nails that you can do stuff with are considered “really short” 😂
Me too!! Or they're called 'Sporty Length.'. Ok... They're just more functional. I work with my hands for a living, so I can't have nine inch nails. Have you ever tried picking up small objects with them? Even opening a door without catching on something---ow oww ow. They make me a butterfingers, and they really should be classified as weapons. Hiyah. Lol. I I can't maneuver with them in any case. Can anyone, or is that the point? I give pple credit for wearing them! Sorry Sporty Spice. 😂
Sis...they r
But they are short. Where is the lie
Do you want us to lie? They are really short 🙄
Great video thank you!!! Could you do a short one showing how you would you use the paint tape instead of the nail forms? Thanks
Great video! I appreciate the comment about the russian manicure! As a nail tech student here in the states I have learned that we (here in the states) aren’t supposed to do those, but constantly see the videos on my instagram of people doing them with a mani service or incorporating them with a pedi. I’ve had a couple clients inquire about the technique and my only response is that it is out of my scope of practice, and that they need to keep their hands moisturized. Will definitely be trying the forms for my next short nail client!
Best video ever!
I was trying to find a product that would create a barrier and this process blew my mind. I would have never thought to leave it on through each cured layer. Excited to try this!
Thanks for sharing these helpful tips 🥰
How could I remove the gel polish that got on the skin by accident ?🥴
This is SO HELPFUL! I have finally overcome a nail biting habit and am growing my nails.........i LOVE seeing what you've done here - never even know this was possible! I've never even had a professional manicure. Now i know what to ask for when i do treat myself. My natural nails aren't as short as your thumb nail is, however they're not that much longer. This video gives me hope that I can have pretty nails sooner than later!
thanks for this video Liz! I'm a beginner nail tech and have struggled with my gel Manis peeling so fast. I had no idea how to fix it and was starting to get hard on myself about how I prep! This helps so much can't wait to try it
Love this tutorial, short and sweet and to the point! Thank you!!
I can't thank you enough for all of these fundamental videos. I'm finally all caught up! I've learned so much.
This was very helpful, thank you. I like my nails very short and always red. Fantastic tutorial for someone like me.
This is the most helpful video ever! I prefer having super short nails to the point where I can't see the whites of my nails. But I always get peeling as you mentioned. Thank you for this! :D
This video has literally answered all my questions about natural nail gel polish. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video!! I normally have my nails done with extensions but recently I had to wear them short and probably even should avoid any product overall. Reason being is that I noticed my nails were lifting from the nail bed and I got scared. Do you have any tips on this? Given the current situation I can't go to a doctor if needed so I was wondering if there is anything I can do to help my nails grow back normal. I don't even know what causes the lifting but if you or anyone else seeing this comment has any information or advice I'd be very grateful! 🙏 Thank you for your content!
Much appreciated. I'm a guy w/short nails and have been using gel polish (blues & greens) for the past 6+ months and this has always been my main issue. Definetly need to pick up some nail forms. Also, I typically square mine off, but, will try a slightly rounded tip. Thx again.
So the nail was capped and then it was filed. Won't that filing to shape undue the capping?
I think French manicure stickers the ones that help guide you to make a even French manicure on yourself might also be a good alternative for the edge of the nail. I usually keep my nails short so this video helps me alot lol, thanks.
That was a great tutorial. I will be watching more. You are a really good nail tech. This from a professional 25 years experience. Thanks
Omg thank you, thank you, thank you for this!!! I’ve started doing my own nails at home and your videos have been so so helpful. But it is a lot different doing gel on short, natural nails
Excellent! That works great for me because I like my nails really short like that. It is much more easy to paint the nails and not messy. Thank you. Lots of love to you. 🌷🌸🌺
GIRL THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!i have super short nails and trying to grew them
Out stop bitting them!!!(PRAISE BE ) bought all the tools etc!!i will watch all your videos and become a pro!!after that I will comment again my progress!!hahaha thank you 😍😍😍😍
Omg I wish I could ❤️ this video like a million times!! WOW!!! Can’t wait to try this on a friend who claims she can’t wear gel. THANK YOU!!
What an ingenious idea!! Thanks so much for sharing this tip! You are amazing Liz!! 😊👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks love.i will try this.am going back to work this month and as a midwife I need to have short nails💕
Can you please let me know what your favorite brand gels are for building and overall. I prefer potted and trying to find a great yet affordable brand.
I’m new to your channel and I’m so happy to have found a way to make sure my nails last longer than a week. Thank u so much❤️
Thank you for all the info and extra explanations. I’m learning more about nail prep etc than any other nail tutorial I’ve watched!
Thank you so much for the quality and careful instruction you give. I've just started my nail tech career and as I'm sure you know the school has so much knowledge tomcovsr for the tests that there's a lot of "small" stuff that falls thru the cracks. You have been immensely helpful in helping me trouble shoot what I'm doing wrong.
Brilliant! Exactly what I needed today. :) I have to keep my nails very short and just couldnt get the tips right. I got lifting no matter how careful I was, or I flooded the tip.
I think I can do it this way successfully. Thank you!
Thank you this is such a great video. Informative and easy to learn. I’ve got nail envy looking at yours 🙄😂😂. Bought lots of stuff so watching your videos to hopefully be able to do something with mine that doesn’t look ridiculous lol. ❤️😊
This is amazing!
