Hi Babe, sure! I will be uploading a quick tutorial on this. But if you want to know it right now, follow these steps: 📌 For Hard Gel Nails: 1. Debulk the hard gel nails with a drill or a 150-180 grit file all the way down to the natural nail. 2. Keep a thin layer (like nail polish) if you want to reapply fresh hard gel. - Note: Hard gel cannot be soaked off. 📌 For Builder Gel + Base Coat Nails (some brands ask to use base coat): 1. Debulk the gel until 20% is left or file more if you can. 2. Wrap your nails with cotton soaked in acetone and then wrap in foil paper. 3. Soak for 15 to 20 minutes. 4. Scrape off the gel with a wooden stick. 5. Buff the nails. 6. Apply oil to your nails. 📌 Note: This is the universal process. However, all brands have different materials in their products. Please read the instructions specific to your products if you are unsure. ▶️ A video tutorial will be coming within 2-3 days. Stay tuned! ❤️✌️
Using the pop-off forms is messier. This way u are showing is much cleaner. I actually bought the forms u have here. They are very sturdy. I’ll probably do my nails this way for the cleaner look
Thank you so much for your feedback! 😊 I'm glad you found this method cleaner and easier to work with. Those forms really do make a difference 💅✨ They not only help with a cleaner look but also ensure your nail extensions stay for longer, even from the free edge-they won't lift ✌️
Thank you so much! 😊 If you’re interested in trying this out, some accessible ready-to-use complete polygel kits are easily available on Amazon. Happy nail art! 💅💖
Hi! In this video, the apex is shown exactly where it should be. My videos are designed for DIY enthusiasts, and the apex marked here is placed correctly, starting a bit away from the cuticle, rising to its highest point, and then tapering down, blending near the free edge. The longer the nail, the more extended the apex needs to be. The most vulnerable areas are the middle and free edge, where the nail is at the greatest risk of breaking. I always strive to make things as simple as possible because doing nails at home shouldn't be rocket science. I'll continue to incorporate these tips in upcoming videos, but I won't include everything at once to avoid overwhelming viewers.The right placement depends on the length of the nails, and that’s why I also mentioned in my video that this is the practical thickness of the apex for this length. Thanks for watching 💅
@@MakeupMobster Apex should be located at the weakest point and it is created to give the nail balance and strength. If you hit a wall for example, this apex wouldn't give your nail enough strength. Also, these nails are pointing down, that shouldn't happen. It is not aesthetically pleasing and not the right way how to do nails.

The apex is designed to blend towards the nail length, providing strength and balance where it’s needed most-typically in the 📌 middle of the nail. Not sure which 'weakest point' you're referring to, but the nails in the video aren’t curving down as you’ve mentioned. It seems like you’re really trying to find something to criticize here. Constructive feedback is always welcome, but if you're just here to nitpick, that's not really helpful to anyone.
Shalom. Great tips for my next install or fill. Thank you!

DO NOT DO THIS, PLEASE. The APEX is in the wrong spot.

These are shorter square nails. The apex should be near the free edge. If you think it’s in the wrong spot why not say where you think it should be
