    Oh my gosh!!! Finally a gel nail tutorial by an exemplary nail tech, that explains in detail what you're doing and why, you're doing it! Love it! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I must have watched 300 vids here on UA-cam, and elsewhere, and none have been as detailed and thorough as yours has. Also helps me finalize my decision of what gel products to invest in. Great job! :)

      I loved this! Liz; do you have to use a base gel or can you use a really thin layer of the builder gel and scrub that in instead?

    I’m a licensed hairstylist and nail technician. I love gels and forms over nail tips. I dislike the glue and you are right you get debris under the nail when one uses glue. It’s really a preference choice. I’ve used so many different products but never Akzents. I’ve ordered the base and sculpting gel and love the pink pinching tool. Saw your video how you put on forms and you are one of the best in explaining how to put forms in. I have used nail tips more than forms. It’s funny in salons they use more tips over forms. Forms should be used. Tips are faster but forms are personalized to your nail. You are a very good instructor. ❤️💅

    Finally!!! I've probably watched over 100 videos on how to do gel nails. Very clear steps! Reduced my nail sculpting by more than half!!!! I got it perfect on the first try! Thank you so much!

  • @yarnaddict1
    @yarnaddict1 4 роки тому +2

    I've watched countless gel nail tutorials and this is, by far the best! After all this time, I finally found out what an apex is, and how to build one. Not one other tutorial explained that. I learned a lot and this will be my "go to" video! I'm so excited to try your method that I'm going to go do my nails right now!

  • @nails_by_courtneyjo9508

  • @blueclarity
    @blueclarity 8 років тому +19

    You are an excellent teacher!! I've resisted even trying gel for years now. Just started. Because of how you explained things I am able to fix the lame bad job I did a few days ago, I've only done one nail so far but the difference is amazing! Thanx so much! I did it with my non dominant hand too.

  • @tammys701

    I just wanted to take the time to say this is an amazing and useful video! I have a Neiru membership but I always wished they had tutorials on technical applications, not just different nailart looks. I think I speak for many nail techs. The basics are the most important! You are a gifted educator and you made it very easy to understand. I look forward to more Nail Hub tutorials!

    Yes! Thank you SOOO MUCH for this video! This helped tremendously! I am a beginner nail tech and I always wondered but more afraid about gels and gel scuplting. I learning acrylic but I also want to learn gel and gel sculpting so I can be more versatile, as there aren't many gels techs in Texas! And as a newbie to the nail world I wanted to be different. For a while I was majorly confused on gel but this has given me an amazing explanation and basics✨👌

    Damn sis so many views and subs and you're still so humble thats why I've been subbed for years
    More gel videos pleaseee!
    I do the sculpture gel first to create the extension because it doesn't move so I can do all 5 then I go over with the base to give that extra strength at the free edge so my extension doesn't break off
    Also I like how you get right down to business without all that extra banter or music

    Oh my gosh! Where are you!? I’m so tired of trying to get my nails done at these crappy salons. Nobody takes the time to do proper nails anymore. Everyone here in Austin uses tips and nobody knows how to sculpt nails anymore. These are the most natural looking and last the longest in my case. I am ALWAYS disappointed and change places often in hopes of finding a better nail person but NEVER find anyone who does the kind of work you do.

I still need loads of practice but I'd never have thought I'd be this close already!! I've worn them in public with no odd looks, so I guess they are ok enough.. I need better lighting next time! ***Any hints as to what background makes the surface show better? *** I couldn't see the little pits I had on surface until I filed. .. got my forms in today and going to try again.. I've been re watching your video, now I'll watch as I apply so I don't miss any steps. Fingers crossed! !💅

    You are just brilliant Liz. I’ve learned so much from you already. Q: I went to a nail bar because I had split my natural nail and didn’t want to cut it off. She painted something on to cover and protect it, which it has done, and it has grown out well. I wonder what the product was and can you recommend anything to do that? It doesn’t come off when I change polish colour? Thank you so much Lisa in soggy-England.😊
