Gel Nail Extensions using Nail Forms
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2013
- UPDATE (2017): I no longer use this product on myself or other people. I would recommend using something that is more regulated. Better safe then sorry, for that reason I have decided to use other brands (I'm using Tones and Nailite Gentle Gel at the moment).
. In this video I use Sina builder gel and nail foil forms to create a set of gel nail extensions. Items used in this video: Sina builder gel from banggood, Nail forms from Bornprettystore, Nail primer from Nailiteinc, Nail dehydrator from Sally's, Alcohol 90% from Target, file from Sally's, lint free wipes from Banggood, gel brush from Target, and UV lamp from Nailiteinc. Thank you for watching! :)

You are a good teacher. Your not repeating yourself over and over and you have good tips here and there. Much better than the videos I watched before yours.
I have looked at loads of vids however I find yours are easiest to follow and make most sense x
Thank you so much! :) TFW

no lies told here .I've watched loads too and see what they be doing,but damit the terminology they be using be throwing me off, and worse never comes out like they be doing or saying.
Hahaha trueeee there an easiest way, why complicate yourself 🤣
About 2 weeks before I need a fill. I usually don't get lifting if I take my time and prep my nails really well. Thank you for watching! :)
Than you so much for this video! When I ask for "gel" nails they use "acrylic " powder and charge extra! No gel used at all. Hoping to find a salon in California that offers this service.
Nobodi Knowsmi you might have to find a nail tech that specializes in it cause gel is a bit of a process
southern or northern?
Very helpful video! thank you! you do an amazing job at clearly explaining every step. 😊
I just did this and it worked!! I have a LED Lamp, u can use one u just have to let it cure longer I’m so happy
Me too mine has a 90 seconds and it works great
Thank you so much for this video. I watched many different ones before finally deciding between trying acrylics or gels at home - I've had both at one time or another over the years (always paying someone else to do them, of course!). I did silk wraps for a long time on myself and just got tired of all the work/repair work (it just wasn't tough enough for my thin, weak nails). I finally decided to order the Sina kit off of ebay, then I found your video. You are so easy to follow and understand and you've made me more confident about doing this on myself. My kit should be here any day now, and I can't WAIT to do my nails again! Thanks again for sharing this and helping us out! I'll let you know how mine turn out... ;-)
They do make gel forms but the ones I'm using aren't anything special. It could be the temperature of the gel, if you're working in a warm area the gel can become "runny". I would try cooling down the room and see if that helps. Thank you for watching! :)
Thanks! When I first started doing my own nails, I started with gels. I've been doing them a little over 3 years now. I get less lifting with gel but you have to prep your nails really well, I've noticed that they are more sensitive to build up on the nail plate. If I do get lifting they come up faster then acrylics, but I hardly ever get lifting anymore. I personally feel like I have better control of gel not having to worry about it drying or my brush caking with acrylic. TFW! :)
Regardless of the brand, this was a good video. Excellent tips! Thanks!!
Thank you, the brand she used was for a review. I have that brand have not tried it yet.
Wow this video was extremely helpful! For years I've gone to the nail salon trying to perfect the perfect gel extension look but the artists always build them to be bulky and thick! Now I've built my own kit at home and will be using this technique to perfect my technique! Thanks so much for sharing!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
I only ever worked with acrylic and really wanted to give gel a go. Tried it the other day and wow it's going to take a bit of time to get used to lol but I wanted to say I have watched ENDLESS videos on TH-cam on how to apply gel on nail forms and yours is by far the best video, very well presented, easy to follow and I'm so glad I came across your video. You have a new subscriber right here, thank you so much, and your nails look fantastic xxx
can you make a video how to file it off do when i try this i know how to take off
Very very good video ! I have been practicing gels . Did you learn a lot of gel in school ? I been watching gel videos like mad ! Lol How do you like them and how do they where for you ? Any lifting ?
I know this tutorial is 6 years old, but I searched so long for a video like this. All nailartist are gonna say ,,You better should not apply gel on a form”. And I’m like ,,BROOOO! I want gel and forms!” I hate tips, because I like to see the gel under my nails...
Thank you so much for this! ❤️
You are very welcome! Thank you so much for watching! :)
Thank you for watching! :)
Can you put a link to all the products you used in the description?
I just ordered this gel in clear, white, & pink. Can't wait to do this!
Awesome! I hope you love it :) TFW
mine is coming soon too!
I ordered some gel and a uv nail dryer. I'm so excited. Thank you for this video. You made it look very easy.
THank you for watching! :)
HELP! I've found that whenever I use a builder gel I always get lifting on the natural part of my nail (not where I've applied an extension) even after being VERY precise in the set up process. is it the gel I'm using or am I doing something wrong??
make sure your cuticles are pushed back, lightly buff the natural nail to remove the shine. dehydrate the nail and use a ph primer. i would reccomend using a ph bond if you are continuing to experience premature lifting
When I start to cure the gel I always feel like my nail burns and it's so painful and because I find a way to stop it I've had to stop doing people's nails why is it that they burn?
Megan White Heat Spikes Is The Product Molecules Rapidly Moving Which Causes Friction And Then Causes Heat
To Avoid Without Having To Do A Million And One Layers Do A Good Thickness Place Your Hand In The Lamp And Take Your Hand Out After Literally 2 Seconds You’ll Feel A Warmth But 100% Wont Feel Like Your Finger Is On Fire And Then Place Your Hand In And Cure For The Remaining Time
Hope That Helps :)
She said in the video if the layer is too thick when curing. it will burn
I just subscribed to you. I'm a total nail novice (well I've only been painting my nails for the past year with regular polish) but this is something that has interested me for a while now. I like how concise yet descriptive you are with your tutorials. It'll probably be a little while more before I even attempt doing gel nails like this but I just wanted to let you know I'll definitely be looking up your tutorials! :)
SephiraRaziel Thank you so much! :)
Thank-you for the helpful video! I learned lots, and I'm glad that your way of applying the nail form with a few tiny variations works well for you.
Thank you! :) TFW
...do I hear Thomas and Friends on in the background?? Hehehe my nephew loves that show ^^
Yes, lol... My son was watching it in the other room :) TFW!!
Hehehe that's cute.
No problem ^^
I like it, may I ask what's different between base coat and primer?
Dehydrator removes the natural oils from your nail
Primer helps bond the base coat to your nail
Base coat protects the nail from staining
I love that green file! I have the green and purple, they are heaven sent
I'd definitely trying this today.. my starter kit came yesterday and I can't wait to learn.. thank you for explaining so easily ❤️
Thank you for watching! 😊
Can you help me? I have bought a flashlight for curing gel. But it says led uv. Will it cure the gel?
has that lamp cured the gel? i ordered minu lamp (uv-led) and I am worried now
some builder gels and polishes will be cured by led as well as uv.
It will say on the packaging.
I do not recommend using the gel shown in this video however, it is cheap and nasty.
I haven't tried it yet. when I have tried it I let you know 😘
I tried the sina brand and I found that it lifted off nail easily is that supposed to happen?
Beautygenius_329 no
Thank you this is the gel I currently bought and wow its so soft and nails tend to bend.
Looks great! And thanks for specifically sharing, using this brand because I ordered that same thing earlier today and wasn't sure if it was a soak off.
I'm glad it helped you out, thank you for watching! :)
I use builder gel and I use a led lamp and it works fine.
I was gonna say that too. It just takes a lil longer.
could you just use a base coat?
You are so awsome!!!. Im waiting for my kit to come in the mail now I've never done this before so kinda nervous. But you explained everything perfect. I now understand everything and have subscribed. Thabk you for sharing your nails came out good looking.
I watched your channel before but really enjoyed this one to every detail. Great job. I wasn't sure that this brand would work so i never ordered it. But watching your video you give me reassurance that i can do gel. I would practice practice, Thank you much
Thank you so much for watching!
Im using this brand so far i dont have problem with it ..it works on me ..
is that hot?
I cure that builder gel in a LED lamp.
Kare Bear did it take a long time??
I also use an LED lamp and i find its faster especially with clear gel it only takes 30 seconds to cure for pretty much any builder gels i use
Gulnaz Khan no, you can see my channel ok? i hope yes
@@himvia no
Hi Kaylee, most dehydrators and primers can be used together and interchanged. The dehydrator sets the nail plate to neutral PH balance and the primer creates a chemical "sticky" layer that allows the acrylic/gel to stick better. I have personally never used IBDs primer, so I can't really tell you if it works well. Hope that helps, thank you for watching! :)
This was probably the most helpful video ive seen with gel.
Yes, I've used my SH LED lamp and it did fine :) TFW!
How would I ask for this in a salon?
Ask your are looking for hard gel nail extensions
Thank you so much for this video, am just about to do my very first gel nail and I have the same items as you use and it's so helpful to see someone that I could watch, looking forward to try this, have lovely day... Tina 😀💅🏻
How'd it go?
i think i did ok, but am going g to try again, i thank you for your video ive watched it a few times now, have great day... ;-)
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you found my video helpful. If you have any questions feel free to ask :) Have a great night! -Ariana
Sina gel has actually been recommended in the uk nail tech magazine 'Scratch' so no idea what previous comments about it being illegal are about, it also has pretty good reviews by uk nail techs.
What exactly should I say if I'm calling a nail salon to see if they do this method? I got it done this way when I was in Europe and haven't really seen it been done in the US so I'm trying to find a place that does them like this! Thanks!
Vanesa E I would ask for "gel extensions using nail forms"... I'm not sure, I've never asked for it as the salon, lol. Sorry I couldn't be more help! TFW
Or Hello, do your gel nail techs use either akzentz, en vogue, or LCN gel and hand sculpt the gel using forms under the nails as opposed to using tips?
Or do you use the Nail Form Method
can you recommend a good soak off gel? thank you!
CND Shellac or OPI.
The Bundle Monster soak off clear gel is pretty good and affordable. I purchased mine on Amazon.
hi girl, i use (IBD) GEL, its very good, is from usa, and its very strong.
Hi,
Primer penetrates the surface layer of the nail plate and deposit tiny chemical magnets that help the acrylic/gel stick to the nail plate better. Honestly can't think of anything that you could substitute, I would say just make sure you prep your nail REALLY well and hope for the best until you are able to get some. Sorry I couldn't be more help, thank you for watching! :)
Wow that looks like your real nails!!!! I have never used gel but it don't look too complicated! Lol...I love your videos girl..thank u soon much!!!
GlitterGoddess Thank you! :) TFW
what's the difference between a primer and dehydrator
Sele Pwol primer makes its stay longer
Ok thanks
Sele Pwol dehydrator cleans your nail of oils and dust/debris prior to applying primer, which makes for it to last longer and not lift quickly
is the gold extension form reusable ?
No, you toss them out after each use. They make reusable ones but I don't have any. Thank you for watching! :)
Beanana711 thank you so much. i have another question, i was wondering if you can recommend me a good primer, top coat and cuticle oil for acrylic powder nails? & where to purchase it.
Primer I use something wonderful from nailiteinc, topcoat I use opi axxium, oil I don't really have a favorite, at the moment I'm using divadc acrylic and omega from nailiteinc.com. Hope that helps!
Hey thank you Beanana for making things seem sooo easy...Am sooo thankful to you for doing it with that brand cos that's the same brand that i have and i've been trying gel out sooo many times and been a bit of a disaster i was starting to think that maybe it's the brand that's the issue. Let's see how it works out now :)
I'm glad my video helped you out :) thank you for watching!
Honestly this is the best video I have found on applying builder gel with nail forms thank you so much!
Thank you for watching!
All that stuffcomes from alixpress, you should just order the next time! Much cheaper.
Sina is not a good brand :/
Then don't use it, it's all personal choice. I switched to DivaDC but lots of people still use it. Thank you for watching :)
Beanana711 Actually Sina is illegal to sell in Europe because of the high risk of allergic reaction, but i'm glad you switched brand, for your own security :)
I have the same brand and it works well for me.. thanks for ur video helpful
ViaShelby
But does that make it okay? No. And what if you didn’t know about that?
Chill out, she was only trying to help you.
soulsmusic15 I did know about that cause every product I'm gonna buy I do millions of research on so that easy stuff like allergic reactions don't happen to me. She's not being helpful cause that's the same stuff ever other person says to someone who uses the brand Sina. Idc if it's banned for high risk of allergic reaction, I looked at the ingredients and I know what I'm allergic to. It's about preference, that's all I'm trying to say
love your video been trying to use the nail polish builder gels by ursugar with the nail forms you make it look so easy! thank you!
Extremely nice video tutorial, very informative and quick! Thank you very much!
Hey great tutorial, I actually use the same type of gel and I usually soak it for a bit and then I file it down. It seems to work for me. Thanks for showing us so clearly. :)
loved this tutorial. I'm thinking about learning how to do this for myself.
+Gabrielle Ray Thank you! :) TFW
Love your video, you are so pleasant to listen to. Many videos, they talk so much and so fast. You are down to earth and calm, I really like that. And of course, the content of the video was really good :)
Great tutorial girly i love doing gels its awesome tfs i always love learning new ways
I’m going to be using this. Just ordered my materials online. I’m not a professional nail artist but I wanna look cute without all the hassle of paying for someone else to do it and have it last only 2 weeks.
V nice & thankx but mane ya prodect perchez kia hy wo tu jb nail pr apply krti hu tu dry ni hota plzz mujy bta dy k gel dry kesy hogi
Wow 8 years ago. And still making beautiful art.
Thank you for watching 😊
@@Beanana711 of I do! Since I've found your channel when you had less than 500 subscribers.
Loved this video I'm think about ordering some gel never used before you make it look so easy to use would you recommend it. I do my own nails useing dip powder im getting better at it now but love the look of gel nails would love your opinion on this please thanks for sharing x
This should be at nail salon, love this
I tried to do this, and even succeed!
But the extension started to bend and eventually broke. Can you explain why that happened and what can I do to fix it?
Thanks!
Probably the most useful tutorial on TH-cam for this
This as helped me so much as a starter nail tech and will deffo be using ur technique in the near future considering i have the exact same products 🤗💅 xx
Glad it helped! Thank you so much for watching, Sarah 😊
Thanks for the video. Can i use the acleric powder for it? I do not have gel
Thank you for sharing and making it easy to understand the process. They look lovely 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for your video. It was so easy to follow. I can hardly wait to do it my self. I was wondering if you can use regular nail polish on it or does it have to be gel polish?
Yes, once the gel is cured you can use any polish on it (gel or regular). Thank you for watching! :)
Awesome technique! And you are very easy to follow :)
Wow, you made it se so easy! They look very good!
You're welcome, thank you for watching! :)
This was super helpful and informative! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! I have never had success with soaking the Sina gel, maybe I'm just not patient enough, lol. TFW! :)
Your video is exactly what i was searching for. I know you uploaded it a while ago but I wanna ask if you can use normal polish on this kind of gel nails. And if i do, can I put gel top coat on it or just normal one?
Merci pour la démonstration! Bien fait!👍💅🏼good!
Thank you for taking your time explaining. Very helpful😀
Hey,
I am glad to see that, it doesn't look to be complicated.
How do you remove the gel? X
You make it so easy i will have to try again to do gels x
Good luck, and thank you for watching! :)
Me gusta la clase, aunque estoy aprendiendo inglés y esto me sirve; Me encanta que sea sin música, soy colombiana y me encanta el tema de las uñas "yo misma me las hago" ahora desde España.💅
You're welcome, and thank you for watching! :)
I applied my form just like this, but somehow gel seeped under the form and got under my natural nail (which was about as long as yours). Do you have any idea what I did wrong? I do have a very strong natural c-curve to my nails with high side walls/lateral folds.
It was my first time sculpting a nail, normally I just overlay my natural nails but I caught and broke the nail on my seat belt a couple of days ago. It was bugging me having an odd nail out lol.
I agree with Carol - your video is very thorough. Thank you✨💫. Gave me a lot of help.
Hi Beanana I love your tutorials you explain the steps so well. Do you think it is easier/better? to use tips for gel and is it a different technique and if you want to add colour or glitter when is the best time? Maybe you could do another tutoril for all us learners he he Love from the UK xx
Hi Carol, I think it depends on the person, personally think it's easier using tips. That way you have a foundation to work off of. I like using acrylic with glitter, I find it less "messy" then using gel but you can use gel to do the same thing. Again, it's just finding what you like but messing around with different options. I'm going to try to get some more tutorials up, did you have something in mind? Let me know and I'll try to add it if I can. Thank you for watching! :)
i thank you dear for this vid. It has mad me confident enough to try it out on a friend. Its a petty helpful vid and you have got me as a subbie
Thank you for watching, Lynette! :)
ive been doing my nails my self for a few months but i keep having to buy new brushes i use acrylic and gel and all the brushes i get are ruined after one use have anything to recommend so i can save money on brushes
Is liquid gel the same as this gel? I dont rlly know stuff about nails I just want to know what treatment i will be getting when i get my nails done
Is it must to have primer n hydrater b4 appying the gel nail extension
uv/led dual lamp will definetly cure lina gels.. this video is from 2013 idk if dual lamps were out then
Thank you so much! I hope you get your order soon :)
Hahaha I do that too with the circle closing the form! I have those same ones and they only open when I’m trying to keep them closed! 😂
Excellent video!! I've been asking to do a tutorial on this products but I'm still waiting for the order to arrive!!! Hugs!!!
Your so good with gels, I really like watching your videos & you explain it very well!!!! TFS :)
Fantastic video, it came out beautiful, and natural looking. Tfs your awesome videos! - xoxo Emmie
Thank you so much, Emmie! :) TFW
Great video, I always have trouble putting on my forms.
Karen Collins Thank you for watching! :)
