I really love this color and shape on you! This is just a smidge shorter than I wear mine....i always laugh when I hear some of you call them short LOL! It was fun to see you use forms instead of tips, and I loved everything about this video. I'm definitely gonna have to try the Mia Secret cover gel. It looks really similar to Young Nails cover pink, which I love. It's much thicker than IBD, so it took me a while to get it down because it doesn't self level as fast, and my application was always super lumpy. But now I absolutely love it. Awesome video!!!
yea it is a thicker consistency but its a very pretty color. this and ibd has always been my go to when I first started learning gel.
@@LissetteCruz I've got a ton of Young Nails cover pink and also a couple jars of Light Elegance cover pinks to use up (both are the super thick gels), but I think I'm gonna try Mia Secret in a nude color. I literally have every color gel and polygel in the world, but no nude. I'm excited to try it!
If I could only wear one set of nails for the rest of my life, this set would be it!! I love the shape and the color is perfect! Can you do more videos on creating an apex with gel? I def struggle with that!
Yes I will, after I finish the video i realized I didn't explain it at all 🤣🤣 sorry. I will post up an updated more detailed one soon.
Girl no apologies please! I love your videos regardless! Also - would you ever use hard gel to adhere full cover tips since you file and don't soak anyway?
@@LissetteCruz thanks for your dedication. It’s much appreciated

3 years after posting, but I really appreciate the in-depth presentation of the bail bed prep. I started doing my nails about 3 years ago, and nail prep is probably the most crucial step in making sure there’s no lifting. I also do not like soaking off the gel and remove it with an e-file.
Beautiful! Love the step by step! Thank you! 😃
thank you hun 🥰
Soooo weird im literally searching on how to do builder gel sets right now lol love your videos! Youre my fav for builder gel sets happy to be learning from you❤
Awesome I could read your mind 🤣🤣 thanks for watching 🥰
@@LissetteCruz yw! Cant wait for the next video😁🤞
So based on this comment, I'm so glad I found this channel. I just got Savilamd builder Gel. I rather this than false nails & acrylic. Can't wait to binge watch!
Yess🙌🏽😍😍😍💞 don’t skip the ads ya’ll 🤞🏽
Yesssss chica, thank you!. Appreciate the support, 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful set! Love the color. Trying to learn hard gel on myself. The struggle is real lol This helped a lot. Thank you 💖
Thats great this was helpful 😊 thank you for watching.
I’m obsessed with your channel! Just starting my career and I’m only going to be working with Gel so you’re super inspiring. Thank you for sharing !
Yay! Thank you!, I appreciate the support... 🥰🥰
I love your accent! Thanks for explaining the 5 in 1 bit, I didn't know!
Lol thanks for watching hun ❤
What’s the benefits of using a rubber case coat as opposed to just a base coat?
this rubber base is more flexible to the nail its made to be put under the hard gel and it also has primer inside.
Oohhh I love these!! Omg I could watch you manipulate that gel for dayssss...! You’re so good... your videos are SO informative and helpful. Definitely becoming, if not already, my fav nail-tuber! Thanks so much n keep em coming!
Thank you so much!!
In the beginning of the video. It just goes to show that this Rhinestones glue is very good. Going to have to give this Rhinestone glue a try. Beautiful nails. Appreciate all the tips.TFS♥️👍.
thank you for watching 😍🥰😍
Can you please do a review/ tutorial on the Apres Gel X kit. Would love to see you use soft gel ❤️
oohhh Lordy they expensive lml but yes ill put that on my list of videos to make. 🥰
Can you do a video on the apex. I know the apex can change ( the height of the apex?) based on the length of the nail.
sure can. 🥰
Hi Lissette, I watch you videos all the way from Australia and love your work! Question about your cordless nail drill, do you work with plugged in through the day or use it cordless and charge it at the end of a working day? I’m waiting for mine to arrive and just checking how other nail techs use theirs. I’ve always wondered wether cordless is as powerful as a plugged in nail drill.
Sorry for the ramble, this is just a real mystery to me,
Thank you in advance 🙏🏻💙
This drill is super powerful. I don't keep it plugged in at all. The battery life on this thing is amazing and I could go without charging it for a while. If its someone who is working on multiple clients a day they might need to charge it every other day.
Im only turning mine once to use every other day. But Im not really taking any clients at that either, so for me so far the last time I charged mine was a week and a half ago and it still has battery life.
@@LissetteCruz thank you so much for replying 🙏🏻
It was very helpful. What gel do you recommend for beginners?
this brand exactly aswell and IBD both great beginner products
Hi I’m new here. I’ve been trying to find the gel my tech uses because I need to start saving my money and get back to doing my nails myself. I’m wondering does this gel have a heat spike when you put it under the uv/led lamp? My tech changed what she uses but won’t tell me what it is. And this looks exactly like the color that’s on my hands right now. These look so good thank you for sharing. I also messaged you on ig
Could you do like a bigger nail tech video. Like for those of us that are or going to be self taught. And like explaining where should you start as a self taught beginner ( like any books or particular videos you’ve made or other youtubers have made) (I’m new to your channel)
Also builder Gel is my favorite method at the time thanks for the videos and inspiration
sure I can 🥰
Omg..beautiful shade and shape..ive not gotten brave enough to do nail forms. But you inspire me. Thanks for sharing 💅🏾💞
Awesome. Thank you so much 🤗
I would glue a crystal or 2 over that bubble and try to forget about it
You already know. Lml
Yes this was very informative great job! When I apply builders gel it always looks streaky & lumpy. Its never smooth
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for teaching us. I love the color !
Thank you Glorisel 💖
Lowkey wanted to see the opposite hand removal 😅
Ha!!!! My bad. 🤣🤣🤣
Those are soo cute and I really like that color thank you for posting ❤️❤️

You rock lady !! I was so SCARED 😨 😫 of gel idk why I just was. I started binge watching your vids and I FINALLY bought some. I LOVE IT ♥ totally sold😍. Thanks for being such an awesome teacher. My acrylics are now collecting dust 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the heat spikes are a little off putting but really not so bad.. I'm still having some lifting issues but I do know my wierd ass nails grow up like they literally grow upwards. Thanks for all the tips and tricks ill def tag you on my progress via IG. Much luv 💛 mama 504lawess
hahaha yesss comes over to the gel side! lml 🥰🥰
Really appreciate how informative you are, with the drill bits & rpm's & minute detail.
This is the first video of yours I've ever watched, but your down to earth yet professional demeanor just earned you a new sub.
I adore you so much more than all those loud shouty guys lol xx

Happy Holidays!!
Awesome ! Thank you!
🤩 wow so beautiful, what color is that and love to see that set matte 💜

I’ve been growing my nails out so I don’t think I’ll be using tops I want to protect my natural nails and give them strength I have a couple builder gel just order another one in a bottle
awesome 😎
I love them they are beautiful as always. I would love to see you mixing the nail gels with pigment . I love when you do that and when you do nails using the gels you make . Love the video always staye safe😘🥰😍😊
Thank you so much!
Hey girl hey been waiting on a new video !!! Love this thanks for sharing 😘
Thanks for always watching Rachelle 💖
@@LissetteCruz your welcome girl! And thank you for alway posting amazing videos you are so talented ❤🥰❤
This helps me so much! Ty ❤️
thank you for watching
Nice n simple, luv it!
Thank you! 😊
Love the shape and length!!! Very elegant!! Color suits you really well. Most satisfying part was watching you remove all that cuticle lol must of felt good!!!! Thanks again for the awesome video as usual 😍😍😍😍🌷🌹🌷🌹
Glad you liked it!!
Love the video I learned a lot from you and thank you for that but can you show a more in depth explanation on how you build the apex with builder gel I try to copy your videos but my nails still keep coming out flat 😞
I noticed another viewer asked this as well and Lissette promised to do a more in depth video about building the apex. In the meantime, try doing a thin layer first and cure. Then do a second layer a little thicker and before curing flip your hand over (palm up) and allow the gel to naturally create an apex. I struggled with building an apex with gel in the beginning, but once you get it you will love it and it gets super fast and easy! Just keep practicing!
@@katrinasheets2997 thanks for the tips and encouragement I will keep trying 😘
@@sabrinapesante1535 you're welcome! Learning how to build an apex with gel is one of the hardest things because it self levels. Looking at the nails from the side view is also very helpful, it allows you to really see where you need to add product. You can do it....just keep practicing!
Ok will do
Heyyyyy❤️❤️❤️❤️
🥰🥰
Super helpful thanks Lissette 😊
Glad it was helpful!🥰
You always do such a amazing job that color really looks good on your skin tone..and I’m loving 🥰 that shape as well...
🥰🥰Thank you so much!!
yay i needed this video i have been trying to do the builder gel and sometimes get to thick thank you :)
Your very welcome Danielle. Thanks for watching. 🥰
Beautiful shape, and yes the color is very pretty, loved the set!
Thanks Yesenia 😊
These came out beautiful, I love the shape
Thank you hun♡
I just bought some a few weeks ago loving the Mia secret formagel so easy to work with!!!
I definitely agree. Thanks for watching 🥰
I use the IBD hard gel and I’m able to soak them off I’d I file down. Is that not normal?
IBD can only be filed off. the base gel under is what can be soaked off.
yes! I love builder gel, so this video was super helpful, thanks Lissette!
Thank you so much for watching and liking this video 💞💞
Love these! I started learning builder gel at the beginning of quarantine (April for me) and thanks to your posts I'm getting pretty good.
Wonderful!
You make it look so easy. Still working on my application.
thank you for watching
I love them 😍
🥰🥰
They look fabulous 💖 I have the frosted pink haven't used it yet 🌹
Oh yes me too. I need to try the Bio Builder gel frosted pink . Hopefully I'll be posting about that soon 🥰
I like them!
Thank you Metra.
Thank you for the video! ❤❤
Thank you for watching 🥰🤩🥰🤩
These are beautiful 😻
Thank you! 😊
This is sooooo pretty. Thank you for the detailed tutorial I enjoyed watching this, it was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Oooh this should go be good to watch 💅💝
Thanks Amy!
Beautiful job. Doing my nails has been a huge outlet for me! Its been such a rough year for me
Sorry to hear that. Better days will come to you.
Those are so cute! When I use gel, I actually sit my hand right at the edge of my lamp for 15 seconds or so, then put all the way in to not have a heat spike instead of the in and out, but it is just my preference 😍
thank you for watching
I needed this! I’m a polygel user and your videos have inspired me to want to give builder gels a try. Perfect timing! 😊
I'm so glad! thank you for watching
So great! Thanks for the video, I love everything about this set!
Thanks so much!
This is why I love ur channel.
Thanks hun 🥰🥰💞
Yass been waiting for this!
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
How long Time do you spend making a set like this
I believe this took me an hour and a half. I stopped a couple times in between but it always take me long to do my own nails 😂
Beautiful set! I just ordered this gel. Still but looking forward to trying. You inspired me to try this.
Wonderful!
I would love to see you do it with your non dominant hand.
hey shy!, I've got a bunch of videos using just my right hand on myself lol i love me a challenge! 💞💞 Thanks for watching!
Absolutely beautiful! 😍❤
Thank you! 😊
I thought hard gel wasn’t able to be soaked off, but I watched a couple videos where the lady soaked off the Ibd brand of hard gel with 100% acetone. I’m not sure if she only did a couple thin layers, but she did not have to use a drill.
Do you recommend using dehydrator and primer as well? Have to get my hands on some of that gelish lol can you use any gel base? 🙏🏼
I use dehydrator and then I go straight in with the clear rubber base. but thiscbase coat has primer instead to it eliminates a step for me.
@@LissetteCruz Oh ok. Yes I have that rubber base on my Amazon wish list lol 🖤🙏
Hey lady
Hey Dominique 🥰
My eyes are watching you butt the brush right up to the cuticle without it bleeding 😮 How? How? How????
Omg, this is literally how I would wear my nails for the rest of my life. Color, shape, everything. I used to go to a nail tech over ten years ago who used builder gel, back when gel polish was just starting to become popular. My nails lasted for 3.5-4 weeks with no lifting, chipping, cracking or breaking. I had no idea it was called builder gel until, like, a week ago. Now that I am doing my own nails I am determined to learn how to do this and your videos are extremely helpful. Thank-you!
yesssss awesome. 🥰 thank you for watching hun 💖💞
Yes back in about 2012 my nail tech was using builder gel over my nail designs in acrylics and I had no idea what that was until literally 4 months ago!😂
Since Covid I have been trying to diy nails and I have gotten better but not as good as I would like. I love how you explain your video’s I will like to know how can I shape better? And how do you know if you have enough product on?
I needed this, thank you!
Awesome 🥰🥰🥰
You did it so fast and easy. It was a beautiful job. I just started doing my own nails and your videos really have helped. I especially love your "haul" videos which keep me from getting bad products online. Thanks again. Love you and will continue to watch faithfully.
awesome yayyy. Glad I could help! 🥰
Removing stones is my least favorite part of nails I've jammed my eponycium too many times being reckless with my own nails lol and I think most nail techs are finger contortionists I be bending my fingers all kinda ways lol but I hate filing my pinkies cuz they be cramping up on me 😂🤷
😂😂😂 thank you for watching. 🥰
I love your nail videos. Ive been watch a lot if your videos . This has been such a hard year for me . 4 weeks ago I lost my niece and nephew both in the same week. Then 2 days later I went through a domestic violence situation in a long term relatioship. As a results I had to move out on my own. I have stage 3 colon cancer and did all the moving by myself. Needless to say I'm exhausted.. Than two days after that my brother was in an awful accident with a tractor trailer truck. 😪💔😪 watching your videos has been my one of my outlets. Thank you for sharing. I hope better days are coming and soon. Thanks again Debby
sorry for all the things that's happened to you and your family, must of really been a tough year for you. hope this year brings you much joy and success . thank you so much for watching and keeping up with my videos . Much appreciated. 🥰
Okay but your voice kind of sounds like Nicki Minaj 🫶🏼
Great video!! I recently got the same mia secret formagel but haven't used it. Can you do a video doing a fill with it? Thank you!
Sure thing!
Love this can you show us with tips
Majority of my videos are with tips but I will be sure to create a new set using tips.
Just discovered you today by chance and I've been binging your videos. So talented and informative 💓💓 new subbie
thank you for watching 🥰
Thank you soooo Much for this video!!! I really love them. Thank you for always teaching us!!!💯💯❤️
Glad you like them!
Love your videos I've learned so much about hard gel now I think I need to make the switch from acrylic.
I'm so glad!
They just too cute. I’m definitely gonna do my nails because I have almost everything just ordered the drip bit too
yessss chica 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Omg!!! Great job!!! Mia secret is much thicker than I’m used to but I love the color!!!
Thank you!!
😄 I love it how the first nail you're doing a slip layer then adding the tip, then a second layer, etc... For the rest of the nails you're like "Let's just get these biotches on there". Lmao 😂 It's a beautiful, work appropriate, all around matching everything set!! 😁👍
🤣🤣 Thank you lovey! 😊
Mooi top 👏👏👏👍👍👍💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
🥰🥰🥰
Omg keep making videos! You’re so talented. Idk how to do nails but I’m learning. Thank you!
Thank you so much!!
You make it seem soo easy lol, I’m so messy! Can you do a video on the mis secret gel in a bottle? Thank you
Coming soon!
I tryed a builder gel for the first time and I must say, its the best thing ever!! Thank you!!
Fantastic!
Hard gel is my favorite. I want to learn sculpting with forms, though. I use tips, but love the full sculpted look so much better.💗
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your videos with us❤ they're very helpful.
You are so welcome!
😍❤
🥰🥰
These came out beautifully! How long does it usually take you to do your nails?
this one I believe took an hour and a half. I procrastinate between nails lml. I am not fast at all, I take long.
Very nice video.Really helpful
Loved watching you build your nails .. no neat and made it look so easy 😀
Thank you! 😊
Hi , I'm new to your channel and absolutely loving your videos and nail tips and tricks. 💖💕💖 I had a question about using the arbor band on the natural nail.. how often do you take product all the way down to the natural nail and buff it with the arbor band? I always worry that I'm over doing it unless it's brand new growth like with a fill?
so honestly I never file it all the way off I alway leave my base layer on. I alway have that on as a protective layer. 💕
Soooo pretty😍😍😍
Thank you!! 😊
I love it!!!!
thanks AnaBel 🥰
I love your videos and I’ve been a subscriber for quite a while. I was wondering how long does it actually take you to do your nails? I know the camera speeds up time during the video I find myself on a Sunday doing my nails for 46 hours. That is 4 to 6 hours. I am a nail enthusiast not a professional but I just love doing nails , Any suggestions on gel or tips? I’ve seen videos where they push the tip all the way to the back of the cuticle and then I’ve seen where they stop about a quarter of the way from the cuticle what is your thoughts?
it depends on the design it can take 1 to 2 1/2 hours sometimes 3 if its more detailed work.
