Your videos have caused me to have the longest lasting manicure I’ve ever had! Especially the prep, I think. All of these have been of great value, and I hope the series runs on forever! Thank you so much
I can't wait to learn everything from you. I have been watching your channel for straight 3 hours at 2x speed and I already feel like a professional lol. I am not a nail tech, but I like doing my nails and it saves me money while still getting a quality product. This channel made me realize I would love to be a nail tech, but I guess I can't throw my two-year path in college out the door. I could definitely do this as a hobby on friends and family only. Is anybody else on the same boat?
Wanted to save myself money, so I bought some gel polish and a lamp. Now I'm binging all these video’s, and I’m absolutely loving them. So informative, very helpful.
I absolutely adore you as my teacher. You are the person I save these videos and when I get home from the salon I sit and study. You have given me so much help and I know I have improved just from being your pupil. Thanks a million !!!
I just want to say thank you for taking the time to do this for us all, I'm sure you're extremely busy, so making the time to help and educate your viewers in this way is highly commendable, I've learned so much from watching these videos and I can't wait to watch and learn more, thank you doesn't seem like an adequate enough word for our gratitude! 💕💕Xxx
I really want to thank you for all the extremely detailed information you provide with each and every single video you do. This is priceless and you deserve all the best
Thank you SO MUCH for all these videos! I'm not a pro and wanted to learn how to properly do a gel manicure on my own nails that would not lift or crack and be properly cured. After watching through most of your videos, you've taught me a lot more than what I was seeking! You eliminate the confusion of the purpose and proper use of various products as well as just the basics of a manicure, which I never properly learned. And now I know why I was not happy with certain gel manicures after leaving a nail salon. I am now competent to do my own; my manicures look good and are lasting a couple of weeks. Yay!
Liz I just want to say thank you for making these videos. Your taking us through the basic stuff we forget about or for some weren’t taught in beauty school. I learn something from every video.
GOD BLESS YOU HUN, AFTER WATCHING YOUR CLEAR GEL SHIMMY / SHIMMY VIDEO / I DID MY NAILS AND IT LASTED CLOSE TO 3 MONTHS , IT'S JUST MY NAILS AND HAIR GROW TOO FAST / AND I JUST KEPT ON FILING MY NAILS SHORTER AND SHORTER / SO THEY COULD BE COMFORTABLE TO WORK WITH. GOD BLESS YOU LIZ !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watch these over and over again. So helpful! I usually do acrylic but got asked to do a gel manicure so right away I came here to watch this for a refresher. Thanks!
Hi, I am watching from Romania and I think, coming from a nonenglish native speaking, that you are doing a great job. I watch your videos for learning for my self DIY at home and from all videos that I found on you tube, yours is the easiest to understand. Thank you so much.
You are a very talented nail tech and teacher! I have been a nail tech for 20 years and a nail dabbler for many. Having said that, I watch your videos often and can’t believe what I can learn and how the passion comes back with your inspiration
FAN-BLOODY-TASTIC!!👍🏼 I can’t stress enough how *really* helpful & informative this video was!! Actually, the whole series so far has been terrific, especially for someone like me who is learning the craft with *no* prior experience (apart from as a client.) Thanks so much, Liz👌🏼, and I can’t wait to see your next video!
Thank you so much for showing me the tips and guiding me with lot of info how to do basic gel polish manicure. that's show me how things works in gel manicure with no mistakes around the nail.
OMG I literally just ordered gel nail polish laquer from AliExpress and then I realized I don't have a clue how to apply. Your channel is a God send. Thank you. #newsubbie
Liz, you are such an articulate and thorough and knowledgeable teacher. Your videos are invaluable and I appreciate your time and energy making them. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Wishing you a wonderful holiday season!!!!
I am a nail artist enthusiasm with a lot of allergies that does her nails at home. Most products can't touch my skin and anyway where I live there are not professionals so I just prefer to do my own nails. I like to watch thousands of videos. I found your channel when I got interested on Russian manicure and I followed you since then. Now, lately I've watched all the videos of this series (except the first and last one because I hadn't had time to do so) and I've never commented before... I didn't do it because...you know, us humans usually are very lazy. I find them all very interesting but I knew most of the things you said. However with this one, Wich a lot of people would say looks the most simple and obvious of them all you have made that my application passed from not good enough to look amazing. I didn't know why I always ended up with a mountain close to my cuticle and little product close to it, and the last time I did my nails with your tips it was so easy and looked so so so good... Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge!! It would be awesome if you could make one about mouth masks and all that. I can't find information about it anywhere, and I think it's very interesting to know about when to use them (only filing or also with application) which ones are best (materials, with valve or no valve, filters, etc). Maybe most people will find it boring, but I think safety is very important and it would be an unique video. Anyway I will keep watching because everything you do is gold.
Your video is so informative and helpful. I'm not a nail tech, but I feel like I've been fooled by nail techs pretending to do gel nails. None of them prepped my nails first. Whoa. I need to find someone as good as you to do my nails. Thank you.
Thank you so much, I just graduated from Tricoci University Beauty School and I feel like they rushed us through the basics & then were more focused on bringing in clients for the business part that I missed out on direct instruction. LOVING YOUR VIDEOS!
Liz, I love, love all your videos!!! You are an AWESOME EDUCATOR!!! I'm a Nail Specialist Instructor at our local college. I recently started teaching there & I have recommended The Nail Hub to my students. You are so good about explaining the different steps with such detail. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise & passion with all of us!!!!!!!!
I've always used that stem technique. Because it sucks when the gel or polish drops on you or table. These tips are very useful. Thank you for sharing them and your work. , xx
Liz, thank you so much! I had to do a fill on a hard gel overlay that lifted a tad. After I thought I had filed and shaped it to look good, I discovered after I was putting my gel top coat on, that it was a little uneven and bulky in one area. I put a second coat of top on, concentrating and building it up in the area that helped balance out the bulkiness. Worked like a charm!
Also works for any nails length and even regular polish, especially the white nail polish and other lighter colors it's really works perfectly like her process.
I love how she properly files the nail in one direction towards the top. Alot if the Asian salons file my natural nails in a sawing back n forth motion causing them to easily crack, split etc. Even when I ask them to file in one direction they say ok and continue to do the back n forth file .... I haven't been able to find a manicurist in my area to file properly!
I love how you get all the nail with the color. I have nails that curve a lot some form a half moon shape. So I have deep groves on the side. I stopped getting my nails done and started doing my own because most of the nail techs never went down the whole nail. They would leave gaps on each side. I was taught to paint nails like you so this was a huge pet peeve of mine!
I know I'm late watching this but I've recently found you. Your information has been a game changer for me. I only do my own nails but this information has allowed me to go from total novice to more than acceptable in one application. So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. YOU are my new must have in my nail kit. Honestly, I am so grateful. 🥰
I love the simple applications first. That way, like you said, can advance to the others steps. I've learned so much from your videos. Thank you for educational videos.
@The Nail Hub. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I haven't found any videos as comprehensive as yours and I do appreciate that you took the time to teach us this information. I'm starting to get into nail art and I'm interested in the longevity of the gel nail polish as well as the milky quality of a lot of the colors. There are so many beautiful and vibrant nail colors.
Thank you for the very informative videos always Liz 💕💕💕 it really helps for those who didn’t get to learn the lesson like me. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Great job again. I am loving how you are taking your time and showing us what to do. I am working long with you and learning so much. Thank you, cant wait for the next one.
You videos are excellent! I am so grateful for this. My practices on my nails or my models are greatly improving because of all your helpful tips and well noted attention to details. 😀👍🏽
Thank you! I agree 100% you should always practice because there's something to learn. Starting with the basics is key. I think Mani's to Hard Gel to Acrylic. Man was it hard to learn Gel after acrylic.
Thank you for the tip of lumpiness on the tip of the nail, never thought of fixing it with top coat! Funny thing is the lumpiness only happens when I do my own nails! 😹💞💅🏼
I have one of April's hands too. I live in Australia and no one here has made their own. I've followed her for a long time so I'm so happy I have one now.
I love this video ( and course of videos) ... i also file a bit at the end after the top coat and i always stress about the seal... you are extremely reassuring and so helpfull thank you so much
I love your videos, so detailed and informative. Love your style. Thank you gorgeous!😊👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I’m learning it all from you and just tried your soak off method, worked like a charm!
Great information!! Great pace and I love that you are starting from the basics. It's awesome that I can go back to the videos when I need to. Thank you for your hard work on bringing this to us!! 💅
I know this is a yr ago but I just brought a silicone hand. And I hate the way nails look. How have you attached your nails ? They look really Secure. Mine go up under the cuticle
Excellent video, thank you so much ! I just bought the gel products and I will do my nails for the first time :) thank you once again and wish you all the best !
Thank you for suggesting cleaning the nail with alcohol i did notice that acetone did do that well plus it made the nail look white and didn't look that clean. So thank you 😊
Thanks this was very informative, like you said you need to have the basics down first. I am wondering how do you attach the nails to your practice hand and how do you remove them with out damaging it??? Looking forward to your next videos. Thanks again cheers from Australia🌺🐨
Your videos have caused me to have the longest lasting manicure I’ve ever had! Especially the prep, I think. All of these have been of great value, and I hope the series runs on forever! Thank you so much
Amen to that!!!!

Thank you so much, is amazing all the knowledge you have, I never had a teacher that is so in deep like you totally appreciate it.
I totally agree ✔️; she’s such an awesome teacher, isn’t she?!
Foundation is key. Thanks Liz, for more great information.
Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to do this properly...love your videos....tysm

I've been looking for a tutorial specifically for potted gel and this is the best one I've found 😭 thank you so much!
I love how you get all the nail with the color. I have nails that curve a lot some form a half moon shape. So I have deep groves on the side.
