Hey Liz!💚
Love these Q&A Videos. You really go into the nitty gritty and clarify a lot of things that SO MANY people ask frequently. Sooo good! I hope you're having a great Holiday Season so far! 😘
Your a GEM in our industry💜
😍😍😍😍😍😍☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
So are you, Suzie!! Looovveee you both!!
Hi there .what if i just remove the inhibition layer of gel color with diffent brand of gel polish but i didnt buff it before putting diff brand of top coat?,does it affects the adhision of topcoat.? And how should i buff it correctly. Before the top coat
I'm a DYI-er who has been doing this for years, and about to become certified so i can build a small home based business on the side for when I retire from my full-time job. I have learned more from you in the last couple of months than i have in years. Thank you for what you do. I think it is far better to share and get the word out, helping more techs to do nails the right way, than it is to think you have proprietary info and jealously guard your "secrets". We ALL win when we share and teach others the knowledge we have. Bless you!
Best nail teacher on UA-cam!! You make my nail life so much easier.
I seriously cannot express the gratitude that I have for you and making these videos. :) You and Suzie have just been so helpful 🥰
Thank you for answering Q22! I don't know who asked it, but I'm glad they did! Now I have a video to refer people to when they bring up negative stereotypes when referring to the nail business. It's the same thing with braid shops in urban areas, party stores/gas stations, or take-out shops serving ethnic foods--the stereotypes are exhausting. Let's all be better humans :)
Love the story about the Vietnamese starting of nail salons in the US. Very. Cool. Of course all your other information is fabulous too. Thanks.
Almost one and a half hour with Liz 💕💕💕 immediately click the vid. Definitely will learn a lot!!!!!!
OMGOSH!!! Thank you so much for using my question and providing an answer. My question was in reference to healing damaged nails. I am a DIYer. And through a great deal of trial and error, emphasis on the error, lol, I have learned a great deal. But your videos have taught me soooo much more! You have helped reinforce things I've learned through experience but clarified issues I still had questions about. Through it all, my natural nails have taken a beating. So over the past year I have tried to be really careful and protect them but wondered if there was a product that would help repair the damage. You recommend the IBX product. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I love your videos and am in awe of your vast knowledge. Thank you again for sharing such vital information with us. It speaks greatly to your character.
We're really thankful Liz for all the information you provide us with! ♥You know it too that it's so difficult to get such simplified answers to questions that "haunt" us for a really really long time...Especially when there are so many myths out there that just confuse us more😅Knowing how to deal with problems that pop up suddenly during appointments and what the cause is so that we can be careful next time,is such a powerful weapon to getting better and understanding things in every angle not only as a nail tech,but as DIYers or even clients etc!Keep up this amazing work and thank you once again! ♥
I’m Vietnamese so I can totally relate. :) thank you so much for your video. I can’t wait for your next video about e-file manicure. I have learned so much since I started watching your videos!!!
Hi Liz, i have been following this whole series and have learned so much. I love the way you explain things and I really get IT! I want you to know I really appreciate all of the info you and your videos provide. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much!
Once again, you have answered so many of the questions percolating in my brain...even questions that I didn't know I had. You are are truly amazing and soooo smart. I can tell that you are passionate about nails because you are focused on spreading the knowledge and helping us ALL do well. Thank you for everything you do and please keep the information coming:) You're the best!
Dear Elizabeth.. Thank You Thank You....Love! Your a GEM!!! YOUR TUTURIALS ARE EVERYTHING!!! I LOVE THE WAY YOU GO ALL IN ABOUT THE FINER, INNER IN DEPTH DETAILS OF EVERYTHING!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😘😘😘😘😘
I don’t understand how you don’t have a million subscribers. You are amazing at explaining and are so articulate, the best educator I’ve come across. I wish you all the success. Thank you!
Hey y'all.....I'm typing in my Louisiana accent lol.....when Mrs. Liz says to start from the beginning please do as such! It will behoove you immensely!
😂😍 lol
Thank you thank you thank you for this wonderful series! There are many sources of nail information, but none as clear and intelligent as yours. Keep up the amazing work...and please don't die tomorrow. 🙂
Another great video Liz!
Your knowledge is truly appreciated. ❤💅
*super late comment* Thank you. TRULY. from one (highschool Science in AUS) teacher to another, its amazing what difference you are making in this space (youtube/worldwide). The way your explain polymers, the activation of photons, different chemical components and how they interact with different client nail types is done so incredibly well, firstly scientific and then in Amazing layman terms. You have a true gift, keep spreading your wisdom. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! thank you infinitely.
Thanks for this series💜💖💜💖💜 I watch every single one and tell those who watch me to head on over for detailed true information. So very appreciated!
I am literally in the middle of setting up my home nail studio , and just now starting to work on the public. I'm so nervous but you have helped and educated me so much! I went to school and didn't even have an instructor! I stuck to it though and got my license. Your help has been so much appreciated. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
😍WOW! Outstanding video, Liz! Beauty and Brains. You are so knowledgeable and passionate about your work. Very inspiring. I’m stealing your picture frame nail display idea. Keep the information coming! 😊💕
Brilliant video Liz, your knowledge is never ending 🙂 Thank you for so openly sharing such detailed information and to all the viewers for their very interesting questions. Really looking forward to your upcoming ‘course’ of videos too, can’t wait. 😊
Liz you are an amazing person, so interesting and you have answered so many of my questions, I have been doing nails for 5 months and I am totally obsessed. thank you for all this information it has helped me so much. X
Your in depth analysis on nails are so much appreciated. Thank you.
I saw " the birds" when I was a kid in the 90's ... Traumatizing. 😂
Thank you so so much for sharing the knowledge!!! You are a Blessing & a motivation to many of us! You have such a big heart for carrying & showing us much love & skills.
P.S. So looking forward to the IBX video 👌💅💕
Love your channel been following you from the start really enjoyed your interviews ! Thank you so much for taking time out of your days to help all of us
You make the best and most helpful videos
Ah! I can't explain how happy I am to find another nerd ☺️🤓 love it!
This is amazing Liz, you make this so easy to understand and informative, not just for nail techs but diyers and those that just want to know. Thank you for all the time you've put into these to inform. ♥
You are the best Liz! Thank you so much for these videos! (And the history lesson was the best! 😁)
Another video, numerous lessons learned. Thank you! SO calm, helpful and kind! I am one of those DIYers from your subscribers and I have learned tons from your videos!! Brb, starting next video! 💗
Thank you so much for the education I'm learning so much from you. You are the best Liz!! 💚
wow I love all your videos! you amaze me with how well educated you are about everything. I am currently a student and learn so much from your videos.
Hahaha!! «Gonna beep-it out»🙊🙊🙊
You are so cute! And your makeup is beautiful!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are amazing! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥🔥🔥
Haha. I try not to swear when I'm being professional. 😇
The Nail Hub
You are highly professional anyway 🎖
Hey Liz! Thank you so much for the Q & A videos. They have been so helpful. As a new nail Tech this has built my confidence immensely:). You are the BEST . I wish I could spend a full day with you as your student. Maybe one day😉
Hi Ms. Liz 👋 Well I think I'm finally caught up with this amazing Series you are so selflessly doing for all of us nail art passionate lovers, wether beginners or DIYers as myself as well as licensed technicians. I've been in the hospital, unfortunately had to go under an emergency open heart surgery and now have to stay over my daughters for at least 6 weeks because doc said I can't be alone 😕 Anywho I've been catching up on the Series on my daughters loptop so if it looks like I didn't watch someone it is because I did so there. Once again wanted to extend my love and appreciation to you sweetie. I've learned so much and looking forward to see all the rest of this such helpful series. Words cannot express how grateful I am for how you are sharing so much of your knowledge and experience. You are absolutely amazing baby girl, 1 of kind for sure. Thank you so so very much. Te quiero mucho muñeca linda 💗
I just wanted to pop on and say I absolutely adore you! And it's funny you mentioned the non-standard salons as I was just chatting with my hubby about that whole stereotype etc. and how it's interesting as were locals to Hawaii (born and raised) and how different yet the same it is to the mainland as we only really have non-standard salons generally on our island, with very few exceptions of course, but I digress, I love the history lesson, thank you! And of course all of your incredible content, so again, truly, thank you!! ❤️
Didn't know I didn't have to remove the inhibition layer til the end. Thank you for explaining about the science behind/reasoning for not having extra steps!
Thank you so much. I have watch all of your videos. I was on the edge of quitting, but you have inspired me to keep trying. cant wait for your next video
I ABSOLUTELY love these q & a's! Great INFO thanks so much!
Thank you again for a great video. Question for you: I am a DYI-er and I love to paint my nails for work. However, when I go to beauty supply stores (or to the manufacturers website) to purchase product suggested in videos, I am refused because I do not have a cosmetology license. Why would the manufacturers care if I have a license or not? Shouldn't they just want to sell their product? It forces me to buy substandard products. I have called around to find nail techs who use the product I want to try and most of them don't keep up with the industry and have no clue of what I am asking about. I even went to a college and asked an instructor and she didn't know you couldn't soak off hard gel. She thought all gel was the same. It's frustrating! Is there a place us DYI-ers can go to get the same quality products you do?
Yeah her website
Super informative and helpful. 😍 not sure why arent you at like 5m subs already cuz your content is 🔥🔥😍
Best 80 minutes spent 😍 learned so much!!
I am a nail tech from back in 2001 and you have taught me soooo much more. I let my license run out bc in my small town there were a lot of nail techs. Now there’s very few so I’m getting back into it. My question is where do you purchase the Hand you practice with? Thanks so very much for your UA-cam channel and teaching us the correct ways. You are AMAZING!
I didn’t like science in school; I am very happy you did! 😊
Wow, learned so mutch! I'v watched the video in 3 steps, but i will save it, just like the other ones. Thank you Liz !!
Hi Liz! This series is super helpful, especially to a DIYer like me who hasn't received any formal training (and there isn't a lot of really trustworthy information online). I look forward to your videos every Monday! A few questions:
1) Do you have a link to the round glass pump-top bottle you keep acetone in? I have a plastic one for alcohol, but I don't trust acetone in it, and the only glass one I can find is ugly and brown. :)
2) You mentioned that you prefer pure gel over hybrid gel - what is your favorite product available to DIYers? A lot of the ones you recommend in videos seem to only be available to certified nail techs (like Light Elegance and Akzentz).
I use the same box Liz and I have just got in a big supply of iso alcohol and acetone to make my own cleanser, I am learning so much from you, including the 'paint one nail at a time' trick for product control... i have a lamp on each side so my clients are keeping busy with the curing process while I paint :)
Thank you so much for that history lesson! ❤️ That's so interesting!
I would love to hear your opinion on dip nails. Clients are always asking for the '' Healthy Dip '' and this drives me crazy. Could you give us some pros and cons on dip nails and correct me if I'm wrong but is it or is it not just a glue (glue resin) and acrylic powder??
I just found ur channel and i luv ur explanations and how you break things down. i just started doing my nails myself because of the pandemic. i've learned so much from all ur videos!!! thank you so much!!!
Back home again after my sunny visit to Phoenix! And what was waiting for me here at home? YAY! A video from you! I love this! Thank you again for these very informative sessions! I use all of your advice. Ready to apply a new mani now and was waiting to see what you had to say.
Ooo! Also started an account on your website (which I didn’t know about before) and ordered some IBX for my damaged nails! And DON”T die tomorrow. Lol. I love you!
Liz You have no Idea how much all of this videos are helping me to get more confidence in my services and how much are helping me to be better on my passion for nails... THANK YOU SO MUCH... I want to see that video about IBX I use it on some clients under gel manicure I git it from your store a d pu t is awesome, but I want to learn how to use it under acrylic or Hard gel... Thank you again for all this videos you are GREAT explaining, you make it very easy to understand everything... Again THANK YOU...
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and creating these videos ❤️❤️❤️ Would love to train with you one day!
Love You Liz! Thanks So Much for your Help. Stay Blessed.
Thank you so much dear!! Love to watch you're videos so much good information, big hugs from the nethetlands ❤️💋😘
Omg a video on this eye makeup look you are wearing. Beautiful ❤️
Liz, I am amazed by your knowledge and your ability to teach. I stopped going to the nail salon when the COVID 19 pandemic started. Thanks to UTube, I learned to do my own gel nails. Taking the acrylics out did a lot of damage to my nails and they keep splitting and I have to file them down all the time. So, I am very interested in the Ivy product.
Wow Liz I'm so greatful for all your information. I love the way you scientifically explain things. I've been wanting to see you and explain, how to do the Russian Manicure. I've been putting some of these helpful tips in play. Thanks
Hi Liz. I love your videos, they are very interesting and educative. But as a chemist, I can say that isopropyl alcohol is absolutely not the same as dehydrated ethanol. Those are two different molecules. Ethanol is also an alcohol and could be used in the cleanser, but dehydrated ethanol would just be 100% ethanol. =)
I love the tip about McDonald's employees! Love your work!
Another great video. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I loved the history lesson, who knew about Tippi? Wish I closer to you and could hang out. I love your knowledge. Thank you again for all you do.
Barbicide specify changing daily regardless of amount of clients unless it becomes cloudy or has alot of debris in it, in which case change as soon as that happens
Hi Liz! Thank you so much for the guidance! I really appreciate what you're doing. I am 7 months into nails. Going from, oh, this might be fun. To this is scary. To YEAH, I accomplished that (safely-phew)! It's super fun and challenging. I love it!!! I wish The Nail Hub continued oodles of success! Can't wait until the next vid! ...question time :) ... What would you have told your younger nail self? What/who inspired you to do nails? If you could do anyone's nails, who's nails would you do and why? Will you throw any seminars in the future (that would include those of us who DIY)? Kindly, Acie
This is such a great question and I will have to think about this one. I will definitely include it in my next Q&A sess. :)
Hi Liz I love your Q&A videos. I am just getting into Gels and I have natural nails. I only ordered soak off gels also a 48/54 watt UV/LED lamp, display 36 LEDs. I’m trying to figure out over lays and builder gels that are safe for natural nails and can be soak off. I have an e-file but fear using on my nails. I can’t wait for these videos. Thanks for the information and teachings you provide us❤️
I learned from your video, I hold my brush wrong when doing gel builder. I hate these dips!!!!! Thankyou so very much. I am a lover of gel. Can't do acrylic in winter. husband on o2 and can't handle the smell. Keep up the great advise
.
I'm so glad you explained about nails and water as one girl I.was going to would sand nails with a file then have me wash in water then do bonder and tips.
Thank you soooooo much!! These videos are soooooooo helpful and they are improving my confidence to try new products!!!
Fabulous video thanks for all the advice xx
Really worth the watching! Learn't alot.
Please could you a video of the types of gels you use!
Love this series! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the history lesson! Love that!
Please do a video on IBX, and thank youu!!!!
Thanks again! Now I understood everything, and watching that movie :D Thanks for theaching. Please continue
Hi Liz, I've been binge watching your videos all night I love how much you go into detail! I cannot thank you enough! You mentioned that the inhibition layer is like a side effect. Does this mean that no-wipe top coats are better because they save time and products? I find that some brands of no-wipe top coats don't last as well as the normal ones - I've only used them for chrome so I'm not sure x
I quite enjoy your insight on this industry. Will you be addressing the reignited craze for dip acrylics that blur the lines with gel since the resin used must be cured? I’m interested to know your opinion on this product. As a gel nail tech, I don’t offer it and find product removal difficult, time consuming and damaging to nail bed when done improperly especially when clients attempt removal themselves.
Great video thank you, my niece is learning so this is good for her. X
I love these Q&As. With so much to learn, is there an order in which you would recommend newbies to learn, for example in terms of services to offer? I’m not explaining myself well. Like would you recommend they learn first, a basic manicure, then a gel manicure, then acrylics, then something even more advanced?.. Also, would you recommend that people know how to do many different services before setting up a business or applying for a job at an already established business?
I am loving these videos, Liz. I'm not a trained professional, but I move around a lot and am constantly changing locations. I get tired of trying different salons and I'm always disappointed with the results. I would rather do my nails at home on my own. I can't wait to see the upcoming videos. I am interested in learning how to do natural nail overlays with quality products. My nails have lots of ridges. How should I deal with them? Also, how does IBX Boost work with their other Strengthen and Repair products?
Ha! I never knew what that cute little jar icon on the bottle was for! 💅🏼 💋
BEETS.
BEARS.
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.
Lol, yes! 🤣🤣🤣 We love so many of the same things!
YOU ARE AMAZING!
Awesome video as usual!!
Thank you Liz for explaining all this to us so we can understand better what we doing and how to! my question is about getting fungus on the nail from some products or the ingredients in them I have the bad experience My nails are thick binece and my fingers peeled I don't know how this happened or with what I call it the invisible Enemy now I have to use gloves for everything and I don't know when I'll be able to do my nails again is very sad!! thank you again and have a Happy Holidays
Hi hon! I've been a full aesthetician for 11 years and I'm still learning so much from your videos! Keep them coming! Quick question for you... is luxio base your go to base coat for optimum adhesion? Just wondering which one you us 99.9 % of the time. Thanks!!
What is the best way to mix the gel polish? Shake or stir.
I've always seen them stir it. You can take a toothpick or the end of a brush and stir it up that way you can get what's settled to the bottom mixed up real good.☺
I usually shake bottles and stir pots. But if the bottled gel polishes are really settled you can take out the brush and really scrape the bottom with a spatula or orange wood stick first before attempting to shake it.
Hi Liz! I'm not sure if you've covered this on another podcast but could you share any information on how to reinvest back into your business. Like how to set a budget and prioritize.
Thank you for sharing so much and such quality information!!!
This is such a good video!! Really great for those who choose not to get an education 👍 BUT ethanol is NOT the same as isopropyl!! Ethanol is clean alcohol, also used in drinking alcohol like vodka rum etc. Denautered ethanol is ethanol that has been through a process so it tastes really bad, only to prevent that people use it to make their own drinking alcohol. And it does NOT have the same function as isopropyl. Isopropyl is really good to remove sticky things, like tape, stickers, sticky layer from gel etc. Where ethanol can only be used to disinfection. (Im really sorry about my broken english, but I hope you all can understand the main points 😍)
You actually can use denatured ethanol to kill surface bacteria and to remove the tacky layer on gel. Therefore it can be used for the same purpose as isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol is best but I got asked the question if it works and yes it would work as an alternative.
The Nail Hub I agree, it can be used, but is not as good as isopropyl. 👍👍😉 But you said “its almost the same, if not actually is the same”. So thats what I responded to and tried to explain the differences :) But some things get lost in translation as some things cant be translated, or doesnt make much sense when translated. But I tried :)
I have inspirations which you Susie Christie and Robin Moses are my main ones and you guys inspired me to go to school now that I'm in school my teachers are really wonderful I have not one complaint guess what I still watch you guys this video's because there is never such a thing as too much information and I know the any little bit will give me more credibility and more ideas and you guys are really actually helping me with my homework because right now I'm writing a business plan out and guess what what you just said about the free cards or free nails and then having people do your carts that is 1 thing I am going to take in do thank you so much so that being said there was 1 or the thing only IBX I'm gonna start using it and I'm in a tell my teacher about it because so many people come in to the nail program having got their nails done and then we have to take off our nails to practice on each other this is gonna be invaluable so thank you and to all the tax out there that 1st of all don't want information spread 2nd of all that That their nail techs and excuse my English that do not want to work on other people's nails work you guys it's nails not causing infections and having good work yourself is everything when I get my place and I do my nails I will work on anybody's work I don't care just so people do not half to have broken nails that are making their finger nails bleed if they're on vacation or whatever else scenario this is what I am going to do I hope that other people will take pity on everyone that wants to have nice nails the person in the drive-through and the person on vacation from Europe have a nice day everyone excuse my rant
Gonna watch this. New things to learn❤️
excellent!! Love your tutorials!!!
This was very useful information thank you.
Excellent explanation. Thanks once again. Hugs.😍🤗
Thanks for another excellent video.
Question for the future enhancements video...how do you keep the tiny air bubbles out of hard gel? I always seem to get them no matter how careful I try to be. Thank you in advance, we appreciate you more than you know!
Thank you for this amazing series. I am hooked! I've watched them all multiple times.
I have a question. I know that the good manufacturers do not want to sell products to non-professionals. I think I understand why: We don't want a bunch of unlicensed amateurs working on the public! A lot of proper education and training needs to happen first. That part, I get.
But I am a "DIYer" according to your lingo, and I am dying to play with things like potted gels, for example. My experimenting would only ever be performed on myself!
Would you consider selling limited quantities of professional products on your website? You could make non-professionals officially register as such, and only be allowed to purchase very small quantities of things like gel polishes and brushes, for example. But we would never be able to purchase things like gallons of acetone or vacuum filtration systems, for example, because we would never possibly need those.
Please? Lol. Thanks again for all of your generous work on these. I am a big fan. Love :)
Hi Liz! I recently started following you and you know so much! I’m so happy I found your channel. I have a question. I’m a DIYer and I’m concerned about undercuring and allergies. I also have a 12w led lamp, which I know you don’t recommend (watched your other video lol). I think my polish is properly cured but how can I tell for sure? I use gel polish and a thin coat of builder (brand is Bio Seaweed). I just want to make sure I dont develop an allergy (no issues or anything) because I love gel nails so much! Thank you! :)
