OMG! I just had a moment of complete clarity!!! I'm a self-taught nail enthusiast... I don't work on any strangers yet but I do my own nails very frequently and I wear them super long. Something has always seemed slightly off though and I could not figure it out for the life of me! No matter how straight the form is or how good it fits, my shapes always come out slightly wonky and kind of fat on the sides of the stress area no matter how much I filed it. Now I know why! I had no idea the form had to be tilted up or down and I did not think that extra little piece of paper would bulk out my shapes. I am beyond happy right now... You are a lifesaver thank you so so much! I've watched a million nail videos and never heard anyone else mention these!❤❤❤❤❤
I agree! The videos are great
YES! Exactly! Thank you very much for this video! :-)
I completely agree! This video is awesome!
I read your comment and I swear it’s like I wrote it. I just do my nails and my 2 daughters. I’m self taught and wear mine in a longer coffin or sniped stiletto shape. I have had my nails done for more than 30 years with acrylic. I have NEVER been without nails, never. I absolutely love this video. I love how this young lady teaches. I was glued to every word she said. Definitely one of my favorite videos yet. I use tips only because I struggle with the forms. Now, I have to try forms again. I’m so excited. Thank You for a great video!❤️
This is so educational. I have learnt tonnes more from your channel than from nail school! Thanks for keeping it open to all and not locking it behind an expensive paywall! You are genuinely improving the industry and elevating everyone's skills.
I feel like I just found my new fav nail educator !!
Me too!
She's far and above the rest in terms of detailed explanation and information! Fabulous!
Just bought nail forms and new curing machine and waiting for it to come. I’ve done tips for a long time and got frustrated in the past using those gold school forms when I was in hairstyling school and given up on forms. We were taught to roll the form and squeeze the tip before putting on. You are the most detailed nail artist on anything on your Chanel. I’ve watched this video like 3 times maybe more. The bone alignment I never new and bird beek I’ve done many times. I’ve always tried to align the side walls instead of concentrating on the centre line. I’m going to try to design a Kitten Nail which is my favourite nail shape. I thank you for this very educational video. God bless you dear lady.🙏🏻
This has got to be one of the best tutorials on UA-cam. Yeah its almost an hour long (it’s a well thought out lesson) but it felt concise, straight to the point, well explained and good camera work. Super easy to understand and hit hit every question i had along the way! Thanks!
WOW!!! A true masterclass! Thank you sooo much for sharing all your knowledge with us. I've been doing nails for the past 5 yrs, but every day brings the opportunity of learning something new! ♥♥♥♥♥
11 years in the industry, having watch many, many tutorials on forming, this is the absolute best video I’ve ever watch. I cannot wait to get to work tomorrow and try these techniques. I had given up on sculpting even though I prefer this method and hate using tips. WOOP, WOOP sir excited. Thank you x💜🇬🇧
I think, this is one of the, if not THE best tutorials I’ve ever seen on nail forms. Thank you so so much ❤
Wow, thank you!
OMG BEST FORMS VIDEO EVER! I have struggled with forms, didn't understand why, even though I'd lined them up, they weren't working. You have made this soooooooooooooooooooooooo easy! You are as I've said before thorough with your instructions! I have learned so much from you! I can't not thank you enough. You have made being a Gel Nail Tech fun. I have pretty much switched to doing just gel nails because of you're videos. THANK YOU! 🤓😎
Wow! Life changing! For the life of me I could not figure out why I always filed through the side wall of my pink & white sculptured nails and ended up with no white left on the sides, I now know that kitten ears are my saviour!! Thank you so much Liz!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I went to beauty college years ago, but life took my career in another direct. I have since retired and started doing my nails as a hobby and to save some money. The products and technologies have changed so much. Watching you channel is so informative. You are an excellent teacher. I appreciate your attention to details. I have learned so much by watching your channel. Thank you!
It makes so much more sense now! Great close ups and explanation of the kitten ears etc. Thank you!
Normally I don't comment on UA-cam video's, but I just really need to express my gratitude about this video and how great you made it for me. I'm not so overwhelmed anymore. Thanks so much!
Thank you for such an in-depth video, love not only the "how to" but the WHY you do or don't do a particular thing.
Shared this video today so I decided to rewatch, it's always worth it. I've been using forms from the beginning. It's what sucked me into nails in the first place. I had never seen them before, every set I'd ever had were done with tips. It was so fascinating and I just had to know how to do it lol.
You touched on so many situations & demoed so many forms...thank you for taking all that time to leave NOTHING out! Speaking of time...by watching this video I am gonna save soooo much time on my clients! 🙌🏻
This was, hands down, the best tutorial for forms! You were made to teach! Thank you for addressing everything I was having an issue with. Really knowing the “why” behind all those tricks made me think differently during application and helped me with fitting forms with my non dominant hand. Woot!
very inFORMative 😏
😂😂
Lol...
Underrated response lol
get out
Lol
Omg you are the absolute best teacher I found!! You and Susie are my favorite channels of UA-cam! Thank you so much for what you do ❤
Nicely done. I learned more from your video tutorial than all the ones I’ve watched before this one. Thank you!
I have been learning SOOOO much from you!!! I’m a DIYer, but I see great nails in my future. ❤️
I’m 31 minutes in- already learned more from you than nail school instructor. Omg thank you! You are covering all the issues I have been having!!
Glad it was helpful!
Working my way through this playlist and I'm loving it. I've seen the kitten ears done plenty of times before but I only now finally understand the point. ♡
Thank you, this addressed every single issue I've had with nail forms! So so thankful
Thank you so much for sharing this video I have been trying on my own for quite some time and I’m so grateful that you took time out of your day to post this video. I have learned so much and no more bird beaks for me!!
I’ve been searching for nail form videos/articles all day! I should have known to go to the nail hub first! Thank you so much for all of your detailed tutorials!!❤️❤️
Thank you 100X. You sacrificed a nail for us.
You video is excellent. I learned a whole lot.
Liz you are an absolute gem! Thank you so much for hands down the best nail tutorials, period!
I LOVE how much detail you go into.. I never have any questions after watching your videos like I do with so many others! Thank you 💅🤩
You are so informative.... Thanks for your time... I learned so much from this video...out of all my classes ...not once has someone told me to open the form before applying it to not get bird beaks lol. Game changer for me
I was waiting on you to do attendance tbh 🤣
This is the best class I never had to pay for. Teaching is a natural gift for you. Almost a year into doing my own nails (builder gel, gelx, dip powder, tips) and Im a perfectionist, which sounds nice until you get to hour 5 of doing your nails and you just want to cry in the corner and sleep off your annoyance. My curiosity has been raging about nail forms. So excited to learn!
Omg, I'm so appreciative of this video...my Mom and I thank you with all our❤
Wow wow I am so impressed with this video, I feel like I should be paying for this class.. I'm definitely gonna watch all your videos now... I don't think anyone's gonna top this video on nail forms
This video just blew my mind. Thank you!
Thank you so much, very helpful, I wasted a few nail forms trying to figure it out myself.😅
Glad this video popped up in my suggestions💜
Omg! You have addressed every single detail that I have struggled with & didn't know why or what to do to fix it. When I've tried to put forms on myself & it feels uncomfortable because I have long hyponychium. So haven't tried to practice on myself. But I am sooooo gonna now. Thank you so much. 😍
Thank you so much, this was sooooooo informative, as a nail tech even I learned a few things that now I k ow will change things for me.keep up the great tutorials I think you are our fairy nail mother of nails! Cheers from down under🌺
I used nail forms last night for them first time last night and used builder gel in a bottle. My ring and pink fingers came out so thick and chunky but my ring and first finger are perfect. Thank you for making this video. As a DIYer, it’s beneficial. I can’t stand going to the salon because they always over file. You’re amazing Elizabeth for sharing your knowledge and teach nail lovers of all skills
Sarapatchkid, what did you think of the builder gel in a bottle? I've been wondering if people like it. :)
Tracy U hi! Well since it was my very first time issuing any kind of gel for extensions it was hard. But I bought ORLY’s Builder bottle off amazon and it was pretty runny. I think maybe cause my room was warm but I think it was beginner friendly. I think if you wanna try it, go for the brand The Gel Bottle because it’s got more applications per bottle ,100 or so. ORLY builder bottle only has 16!
Tracy U sorry I wrote so much. I just want you to have a good experience:) this week I’m gonna try the builder on plastic tips instead of sculpting forms :)
The more explanation the better! Thanks for the recommend-I I thought Orly was the only one so far. Good luck with your learning process! It’s taking me forever, so my nails always look like a several different versions of heck. :) Liz’s series is SO helpful.
Tracy U yeah The Gel Bottle has a wide color range of builder in a bottle. Orly only has clear! I guess that’s also why I was having a hard time doing my set because I couldn’t see it! Haha. It’s a money saver for sure. I hope one day Liz reviews builder in a bottle
Iv been struggling and practicing with just applying the nail forms. Just trying to apply everything iv learned on your videos. I have 4 different forms and I’m struggling BUT today I created my first hard gel sculpted nail extension. It’s not 100% perfect but it’s amazingly at 95% perfection. It’s a huge deal for me and I wanted to share that with you. I’d attach a picture of it to the comment if I knew how. I don’t comment on UA-cam videos. I want to be a professional nail tech and I’m saving to go to school. So in the mean time I want to learn and practice as much as possible 💖 thank you so much for your videos.
That's awesome! Keep practicing. It will get better and easier the more you practice.
This is sooo great!
I have been doing nails for 15(!!) years and I have ALWAYS sticked to tips because that was the only way they teached us...
my question now is How do I fit the form to a client that already have the shape of birdbeak on her natural nail?! The gap gets sooo big on the sides!
Thank you for everything Liz, everyone appreciate your tips and trix
I usually shorten clients' nails all the way down and get rid of any curves or twisting that's currently there. It's ok if there's a bit of a gap which I will show soon. You just need to use a thicker gel that won't seep in the gap.
The Nail Hub I can’t wait for you to show this, soooo so so excited because I’m really struggling with forms after 15 years 😂💞
This is the only video that I’ve found super helpful. I can now apply forms, i was about to give up and go back to tips.
Oh thank you Liz I do my own nails I’m 66 years old and I’ve been using tips or do all forms and I do have some forms that came with some of the cats and I was thinking about trying it and I did kind a stick man on my finger yesterday and I thought so your video came out perfectly because you’re so passionate and your instructions or so clear and perfect and I will be watching this video thank you swee
Thanks for TIPs! I find all those inFORMation very much useful for us beginners.
You are the bomb.com.
I love you and I appreciate your time and lessons. 😘
Oh my, this video is superb. I have always had issues with the sides (as does the nail technician when i treat myself). You describe everything so straight forward and with video too. This is the best video I have seen to help me with forms. I have subscribed 😁👍 Looking forward to watching the others. Thank you
I just discovered your channel today and I’m so happy I found you! Your videos are pretty informative but also straight forward. You provide with a lot of good tips !! Thank you
Very informative *
Stumbled across your channel yesterday and omg. I'm learning so much already! I'm starting from your first videos and watching them all. You're such an amazing tutor and are sharing such good information. Thank you x
My mind is blown with these tips!!!
I just started doing nails and I started with nail forms because I love straight nails. It’s very hard but I got the hang of it now
You're the plug and the goat! Thanks a hundred billion times!
Wow this was SOOOO HELPFUL!!! I couldn't figure out how to get the form on without hitting the hyponychium even when i cut out the notch, turns out it was the angle. Also fixed the problem i had with the bird talon looking nails. Thank you!
You’re a great teacher thank you so much for this video.
Thank you thank you. My daughter is a nail biter and I am doing short gel nails to help her nails grow.
I'm completely learning how to do my own nails on UA-cam, and I started with forms because I like to learn the hard stuff first. I've done tips once, but I don't know if I'll ever bother with those again. Forms are so much better even with my wacky wonky fingers and I'm not even close to perfect at it yet. BUT I really wish I had seen this video two days ago before I put my extensions on 😂😂 but thank you Liz! I've seen people cut those little kitten notches before but it never made any sense to me. Now I understand WHY and also realize that I need to be doing that on a couple of my nails. Can't wait for your next video!
I just recently got into doing my nails:). I used to be a a nail biter, but I find I dont bite them if they are painted:). Dude, your videos have helped me so much! Thanks so much for going through everything so thoroughly and detailed!! I’m still working on nail forms haha!! Keep up the great work!!
I love how your such a nail nerd like me, thank you for this very detailed video!
You wouldn’t believe how much I learned in this video! Thank you so much Liz !!!
O. M. G. Kitty Ears has completely changed my nail game!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this!!! I've just started using forms not too long ago and had sooooooo many questions but this video cleared up everything i didn't know
Exactly 🙋
OMG! I so wish your videos were available when I was going to nail school! Thank you!
Girl you need to open a nail school.... For real cuz you're the "Nail Professor" 🤗💅
Hello from Italy,
Thank you so much, you covered it all, so many things I just didn't "get" with nail forms, but some what perfered to tips (don't like the idea of glue on my natural nail) it does sound "too much" but all the info you gave me makes me what to practice practice practice... 🤗
Hi Liz . I also like to use nail forms and I have watched all of your videos and love how informative and educational they are. I have just received my first order from your online store and from Kansas to the United Kingdom I received it very quick and received excellent quality and services. Many thanks to you and your team. Best regards Glynis. From United Kingdom. X
The best nail forms video in this whole UA-cam! Thank you! Very grateful! I love your generous soul and love your videos!
P.S. The products on your website are phenomenal.
Awesome video! I ‘nailed’ my first time using these. Eventhough I discovered that I bought those cheap golden ones 🤣
I am sooooo glad I found this video, perfectly explained every issue I was having! Thank you so much!!! New subscriber here, and I will continue ordering from the Nail Hub!
Thanks for subbing! ❤️
Thank you so much for this video I've been scared about doing my nails with the forms (I don't even have them yet lol) hopefully they come in tomorrow's mail.
This was so helpful. Thanks so much. I do my own nails due to COVID and my nails are naturally long but I have one nail that splits and I have to keep it short so I wanted to build it out to my other nail lengths. I usually only use gel polish but I bought builder gel just to strengthen my nails a bit more. Love all your tutorials.
I highkey had bird beaks nails dude, I couldnt figure out how to do my forms, this video is the best one on YT
Thank you , learned a lot ...Your a good teacher . 👍☺
Wow! So in detailed! Thank you, this video answers a lot of questions if not all i have on customising nail forms❤️
Thank you so much for all the great tips like placement avoiding bird beaks and how to place for crooked fingers/nails! Love your videos ❤😁
My nails curve down as they grow, I notice women are getting the Curved nails that are called Hawk or Claw's..
I have very thin nails now due to illness and I bought dual forms that are curved to fit my nails and (easier said than done), but I am new at this and was wanting to know how to use a paper form under my dual forms so I don't get the product all over my skin..
Thanks!
Yay Liz! Finally someone took the necessary time to explain how to really REALLY use nail forms! You da best, guuuurl! :)
If I watch all your videos, can I skip costly tech school and go straight to my licensing exam?!?!
thank you for this. i burned off 1/4 of my nail last month and was trying to figure out how to get the form on me. this helps so much until i grows back on
Oh my god your videos are fantastic so so much appreciated
So informative - thank you! I've been using forms for a while and though I knew all there was to know about them. BUT nope -- I definitely learned a few new tricks!
You are Incredible because youre giving us knowledge, thanks you
This is seriously one of the best videos that you have made. I loved every second of if. Just one things come to mind and that’s because I watched you video with susi and you tried products that everyone can use, I would really loved if some of the forms that you tried where forms that everyone can buy, like from eBay, not necessarily the shitty gold ones but some other from eBay that’s not shitty, yes there are some really good ones there 😏 and last, you are seriously the best for doing this basics videos, you may know it already, but for real, they are so appreciated!!!!!!
Actually one of my fave forms are the Gelish Harmony forms. They are usually green or blue. And although they are "professional" you can find them on sites like ebay. My other fave are these Kokoist ones I use here. But unfortunately they really are pro-only. I am currently working on a training program so I can certify anyone to be able to use some of our pro only products. More to come on this soon. It's a huge project so it is taking me some time.
The Nail Hub You, are so wonderful. Don’t you ever forget that. Thank you for responding and thank you so much for the information ❤️
Hi Liz thank you for teaching me I really appreciate it your such a great teacher . Liz can you please show me and everyone how to do almond shape nails I have been practicing I won't give up but it's frustrating lol thank you I have been watching about the nail forms I really have an awesome teacher (you) thank you your a blessing
Thank you once again Liz for all the information you provide us with!❤I can certainly say that they are more valuable than gold!🤣So many questions were solved!I'll practice evrything you taught us and ask you,as we move forward,if something's a little troubling!😁 (Btw,I LOVE your T-shirt with little Jiji on it!😱❤)
Great video! Lots of super info. Thank You!
Omg I'm currently watching this vid with subtitles on and when she says hyponychium it thinks shes saying “hypo nicki minaj” i’m laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂
I saw that!
I now understand forms now.... at first i as like o no I’m not doing them🤣 thank you ❤️❤️
Thx 😘 very useful video as always - Chapeau, Liz
Looking forward to seeing your other videos
Your videos are perfection! ❤️
Tfs awesome info 💜💖💜
No bird beaks!! lol love it!!!
😂😂😂
Your videos are great! I only do my own nails, but I'm even learning things I didn't know about my own nails. So, I have a question: I'm a nail biter, BAD. Into the nail bed bad. So, I started getting them done, but by the "drive-thru" type of shops, as that's all I could find nearby. I wasn't impressed, so started doing my own. My work is hard, manual, dirty work, so long isn't smart; though I do still overdo it. I use tools often, and try to wear gloves, but they break, and ink and grease and dirt find their way in to every cranny. My questions are: what is the best way for me to correct the damage I've done (ALOT), while still having feminine hands that maintain the best adhesion, while still being safe? And, when doing fills, I usually end up removing tons of product, due to some lifting, but mostly because of the inks and greases that have soaked in around the edges. Are there any products that would minimize or stop this from being such an issue? I've tried gels, polygels, acrylics, dips, tips, forms, dual forms, coating both top and bottom in too coats, and keeping nails soaked in cuticle oils. I'm further damaging my nails by removing them so often by picking at edges, or breaking them off. I know this is longer than I anticipated, but I need your help!!
Omg what an amazing video! When I was learning sculpting, I was given re-usable forms (plastic covered with metal down the sides so they can be bent into shape) and they were awful! I broke all 10 in the first week! I bought myself paper ones from then on! My teaching never taught me how to fit forms or anything!! I learned everything I know from watching other techs on UA-cam and sharing knowledge with techs on Facebook! I do feel much more confident but your video had given me info I never had before!! I believe that as techs we never stop learning and as always I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos!!! Thank you!!! ❤❤❤❤
Great I had no idea what those dots were for
This has helped me so much.
OMG!! I never imagined that I could pinch the form lower than the tip to accommodate the length of my nail. What a difference! Thanks :)
Thankyou Liz 👄
Video was very helpful. I will definitely be taking all this in.
This is one of the most in depth videos about forms! Your a wonderful teacher. Thank you for taking the time to do these!
Very helpfull, thanks
Can you come to my house and teach me everything? Lol! You are the best teacher
Very informative... thank you so much ❤️
Thanks again! I want to see how to properly make a form for very bitten nail with big wall at nail end.
Me also
I would love to see this too.
you have done it again, another in depth fab video. Thank you
