Honestly, I couldn't think of anybody who could explain this better than you! I work in the field of speech and am simply amazed at how fluently you speak and - most importantly - how good you are at making things clear and understandable - especially for someone like me, who has just developed an interest in the whole gel-nail-topic. I absolutely applaud you, please keep doing what you do ! PS.: How on earth do you manage to keep the editing on a minimum, that is just astounding!! haha I'm really impressed - can you tell?!😉🙈💗
Very "linear" thinking. Works so well for me. :)
I'm sorry but no one in 'the field of speech' would use absolutely and applaud together. That is a known.
@@rainsnow5541 ...they just did though. So, I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. 🤷🏽♀️
As a 20 some years nail tech, I think this is so far a very educated channel for nails business ! Thank you!
You're a miracle to the nail community ❤
You are my favorite teacher 😉 Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us 😘
You are such a good teacher. You have helped me greatly by explaining about the prep products
You're a great teacher Liz. Thank you for your lessons. I'm an Occupational Therapist and got into this because I have clients that wasn't to rehab from physically work to nail techs. I had to find out all about the job and got hooked in the process!!
This has been sooo helpful. Since I'm a DIY'r I really didn't understand the difference between the primer and bonder. Also the primer I've been using is acid based and I only know that now by the odor you described and I've been using way too much. I use the MG system (a friend orders it for me) and they really don't tell you much about how to use their products. Once again thank you so much for sharing your time and knowledge. Linda
Hi! Acid primer is good, the things it does to the nail plate are on a microscopic level. So as long as you are using it properly, you should be fine. I think we all tend to slap on primer like crazy when we first start out.. lol.. glad she helped you . Like I mentioned the acid primer is etching the nail plate on a microscopic level. And there's nothing wrong with it if you're using it properly.. but if you decide you want to switch over to a non acid primer I really like Young Nails protein bond. You can get it on Amazon even if u aren't lisenced. If ur friend is lisenced she can probably get it cheaper at the young Nails website. Though there are other great non acid primers out there, that's my favorite out of the several I've tried. .. that what works best for me. I rarely have to use acid primer anymore. I keep it in case I have one of those problem lifter clients. And then I use both, but that's a different story for another day. 😀
@@TotalDentalNerd Hi. Thank you for sharing your information. 😀. I emailed MG and they confirmed it's an acid primer; wish it would've been put on their website. I hate the smell of it and will check out Amazon.
Thanks for making the effort to show us a “visual” As nail techs we have been told over & over to use especially Acid primer sparingly but it really sank in for me when you did the demo (Acid primer) I am always careful but now I appreciate why I need to be even more!
I really appreciate how intelligent and articulate you are. This is all very helpful information for a non technician. I know now where I can and can’t cut corners. No pun intended.
Woo hoo, having a light bulb moment thanks to you. Been a DIYer for many years and just started my nail course, acrylic first then gel. Definitely more comfortable with gel, been doing it longer. But thanks to you I am understanding more and more. You definitely have a huge fan in me. Keep the videos coming, love them.
I just wanted to clairify.. acid primer etches the nail plate on a microscopic level.. it sounds a little more scary if you don't realize that.. yes it still is corrosive and all those things.. I was just thinking if you knew nothing about it and heard words like corrosive and eats away, and makes pits in the nail plate... You might Envision large amounts of damage.. it's on a microscopic level and it's similar to the blue etch that is used in dentistry to prime your tooth for the bonding.. at least that's how I understand it as I was a dental assistant first and then a nail tech.. 😀
Yes that is exactly correct, but the issue we have in the nail industry is the misuse of this product and it can create severe burns on the skin and also allergies. That's why I wanted to demonstrate how it works and discuss the differences so nail techs understand that all of these chemicals should be used responsibly.
yeah, its good to drill it in the head to the people that didnt go to school about the dangers it can cause. I learned the hard way xD many many years ago. The crazy thing I hurt more when I go into the salon then when I do them myself...they always burn me w the primer because it seeps into the filed skin by the cuticles. xD xD
Another experienced nail tech told me that no lift nails primer is actually more of a dehydrator and prep and just etches the nail plate but its not an actual primer for adhesion. Is this true???
I just did my nails for the first time and used an acid primer because a friend told me it would make the semilac last longer. Should I be worried?
You are my teacher, keep teaching me. Thank you . I am taking in all your information, finding out that some past nail work on me was not done correctly. I am one for safety, I will only be doing my own nails but I do not want to hurt myself. I list carefully about the cautions you tell us. I love doing my own nails.
Thank you much for doing these blogs. I’ve been a nail tech for 5 years, and I’m learning so much from these. It works for me the way you explain everything, I’m addicted. Thank you so much. Great help. X
Excellent video.i was always confused with the prep agents.You made it so easy and clear.I am new in nail tech industry and post online training I only study with you here.Thank you so much 😘
I am not a professional. I began painting my Mom and her friend’s gel nails at assisted living, then my friends wanted me to do theirs.
I did purchase protein bond and ph bond by Gelish to use on my friends nails. Two of their paint keeps chipping within 7 days.
The products only had the instructions on the bottle. I knew if I looked up the topic, you would have a video sharing your expertise. As a result, I will not be using these product at all, unless I cap the corner of the most chipped tip with the pro bond.
I was going to study before I used them anyway. You always make it so easy.
I watched your painting your husbands gel nails from start to finish many times. My friend, family and I really enjoy the time together... man am I slow!
Thank you so much and God bless😁
I just want to say kudos to you for such awesome, educational, and detailed information. This is worth spending the time watching because it's real education on the information which is the best way to learn the correct info right from the start. And you can't change science. Thank you, thank you thank you! You're the best and this is the best set of videos that I have watched on the subject. Take care & keep up the awesome work. I understand so much more now. Again, thank you. Bobbie
You are truly an amazing educator! I love watching your instructional videos and get so much out of them...thank you!
Thank you so much for making these videos, they are so helpful!
WooHoo It's Monday, Liz is back with more awesomeness!!
Thank you for the vid! I used to be a serial lifter. No matter what I did, my main fingers - poiter, middle and thumbs - would always lift and develop greenies 😷🤢. My prep did need improving but once I knew I was on point but still lifting, I started priming with NSI pro bond. I used it while I was still delusional with acrylic and after I found my lord and saviour, the Gel. But after the acid primer my lifting disappeared 😀😀😀! My right middle finger is still a little stubborn but in no way compares to the hell I went through until I switched to acid primer. I use it extremely sparingly and then use a basecoat. Nevever multiple layers. Your video gave me peace that I'm doing the right thing. Wish I knew about the antacid trick though.... My bottle fell and I lost 80% of it to the floor 😭😭😭😭. But since I'm a DIYer and use so little, I know it'll last a looong time still.
Super useful video, thank you!!
Thank you so much for posting ALL of your videos. You're so knowledgeable and explain things thoroughly. Xx
SOOOO much easier to understand now! Thank you so much! I kept buying prep products thinking I needed them or someone recommended them. Now I think I get it. I’m currently using some nail prep product because I use a couple of layers of nail dipping powder underneath my polygels and gel polishes. I seem to get better adhesion this way. If and when my nails start to behave, I’ll follow your own methods more closely. Thank you once again! I know you’re not in the US, but wish you a very happy Thanksgiving anyway.
Happy Thanksgiving. And yes I'm in the US. Arizona...😁
You rock at teaching! Thank you so much for doing this. 💕💅🏻
Honestly you are amazing at explaining all your knowledge, I'm a DIYer and am so glad you covered this as I had no idea. Xx
Great video, Liz! Loved the demo of acid primer. Really shows how important amount and placement are. 😊💕
What an amazing video! Thanks for taking the time to show us these great tips do educational. Don't know how anyone can thumbs down,crazy!
This is by far THE best explanation video of these types of products. Thank you soooo much!
Wow. I was trying to figure out why my nails broke and shredded when I used a different nail salon after I moved. This really opened my eyes. I know you can get a gel manicure that doesn’t ruin your nails - because I have gotten them. Thanks for the info.
Thank you. I really learned a lot from this video. I think you have answered all of my questions. I really appreciate all of the videos you do. so much useful info.
That hand looks way too realistic. 😂 Thank you for the extremely informative video!
This really helped me so much I was super confused by all of this thank you!
This is great! Love the topic, all the in the series. Im so grateful for this content. Love your makeup and style Liz💖
I love these videos! feels like I'm back in school! I love it!
I have been having lifting issues with immaculate prep and application.. Found out that my career as a dog groomer is the issue. My hands are in water a lot of the time. I'm gonna try acid primer and see if that gives me less lifting. I'm sure one would say just don't wear extensions, but for me, the short nail extensions keep hair splinters from getting embedded under my nail beds. So it's a protective thing, not just cosmetic. Maybe I'll just have to wear gloves again where I can.
Thanks for showing me how to apply acid primer correctly and sparingly.
Fantastic video! You should be very proud Liz, you're doing amazing! Thankyou for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much!
Feels like Im in a lecture hall. Bravo, wonderful explanation!
Wow, thanks!
Amazing information, Liz! So, when you indicate that usage of a non-acid primer can make gel polish more difficult to soak off, can you explain in what way (longer soak off time, or filing required?) And, can you offer a suggestion on how to best remove gel polish that is over a non-acid primer?
It really adheres the gel to the nail so soak off time will be extended. My suggestion is make sure you break through not only the top coat but expose some of the base coat so the acetone can truly penetrate the nail.
Well...that acid demo freaked me out and explains why 15 years of acrylics ruined my nails! 😷
yes! Even using non acid cause nail lifting on sensitive fingers. Thank God for knowledge and understanding. :)
Thanks for this video. I do nails at home and for my sister at times. Not a nail tech. At all. But have been acrylic for awhile. Never stays on her. Nothing!! She can peel it off in a day, and I always wonder why... Now I know. I used PHBond by BondAid.. but it did nothing... So thanks for this video. I'm an esthetchian so I can get some pretty good things locally at CosmoProf. I appreciate this. Alot. Edit: I don't need anything but PhBond, or the base gel that comes with the set. Except, sometimes on my harder working nails... I'll need to use both. Depending on product though.
Thanks this video was so helpful! You really broke it down where i could understand.
Yes she explained it great
This is the first time I’ve come across your channel. You are such an awesome instructor. Keep up the great work. May your channel continue to grow.
I appreciate that!
Thank you for making this clear. I am going to add some Light Elegance to my collection and I was confused about the Vita Prime and Tack .
thank you so much for clearly and concisely explaining and demystifying this very confusing topic...thank you!
I use a primer and base coat before I do polygel. When I take the gel off it looks like I have a coating over a couple of my nails
Thank for a brilliant demo into the pros and cons of bonders and primers.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video! I never wanted to invest in any type of products outside of Japanese because of all the so called prep chemicals because it was so confusing! Thank you so much Liz 💗
Thanks Dear because I am in the process of doing my own nails and this Video on Acid n non Acid Primers were so helpful again Thanks.
This informations are all so useful, thank you so much. You make such amaging videos telling us so many things that no one else shares. I just started useing gels and I didn't know what products to use or how to use them, you videos helpt so much. I think you are the only youtuber that I found that actually makes videos that explain everything about product, techniques and how all of this works and what they are and I love that.
This is my first time of watching your video and Have learnt so much from this particular video thank you so much
Most informative video on bonders an primers so far. Thank u it really did help me.
Wow what a fantastic video, so informative and very helpful. Elizabeth your product mind is amazing and the way you explain these things is really great and easy to understand. Thank you very much. Love from across the pond. Xv
Thank you so much for sharing this information. Very knowledgeable.
Thank you for this Video, just purchased products from your website. I wanted to know the difference between all of these products.
I REALLY love ur videos... everything has a why and learning why.. just the best... love it
I'm so glad I watched this, thank you!!
Thanks for the explanation ☺️ I'm using one non acid primer with vitamins from a portuguese brand, mainly because i have fragile nails and i feel that it protect the nail. I learned a lot with you today, i will start to use it only on the end of the nail ☺️
Thank you so much, this was so informative. Wish I had known this before I neely wheely started doing my own nails. 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you so much for making these videos and sharing your knowledge and experience. It means a lot 💞💞💞
14:19 I decided to test whether products from different lines (namely peel off base) will "play well together" and not lift or break down or chip off... There is so much truth to sticking with one line. I wish and hope for a peel off base from LE. 😅
Very educational! Thank you! In your opinion, what’s the best prep agent for a hard gel overlay on a natural nail?
I really like Light Elegance Tack. It works exceedingly well.
Thank you!! Very informative and I had an aha moment. Haven’t had one of those in awhile, my friend.. I cannot believe how corrosive the Acid primer is and I was putting it waaaay to close to the cuticle! I’m shocked. Hopefully my clients nails will thank me
Well, you actually explained it here. Thank you.
En estos días me estaba haciendo ésta misma pregunta sobre todos estos productos. ¡Muchas gracias por explicar todo al detalle! I love your videos. Love the Spanish ones too! Blessings
Espera tiene videos en español??
Sí, algunos de sus primeros vídeos. 🤗
@@rosenidroman708 qué chido, no lo sabía!! tendré que mirarlos, gracias :)
Thank you for another great video, I am learning sooooo much.
Thank you so much. You explained so much. You were thorough.
Thank you Really helpful ! Looking at your videos over and over again, to really "soak it in" Thx
Thanks again for such a informative and easy way that you explain things . Wow didn't even think of keeping ant acid like mylanta ect I. My draw thanks so much for the tip. Cheers from Australia🌺
Very informative. Thanks for sharing😁
So helpful and informative
Wow this is what I really need to know thank you so much!
You're so welcome!
Would you say it is necessary to use a nail dehydrator and an acid free primer together? A lot of "gel" tip systems include both- but since primers have dehydrating properties it seems kind of excessive maybe? Or would you cut out the dehydrator if the primer you are using has methacrylic acid?
Yass! The video I have been waiting for. Luv this!
Yayyyy been waiting on this vid soo long 💃🏽
Since the covid 19 , I have to start doing my nails for a while . SO I need to know what type of bond + primer and so on would you use doing poly gels nails on your nail or what steps would you take first ? Thank you
Very educational. Thank you!
Finally! Thanks to you..❤️
Thanks for your vid! This is so informative! This is so sososososo so helpful!
Thanks from SKorea
Improperly using acid primers have really damaged my skin around my nails 🥺
Now with any nail products I have some sort of allergic reaction 😮
Hi Liz thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us question how would i use antacids for accidental spillage?
Antacid neutralizes the acid if you accidentally spill it on yourself. You can immediately pour antacid over anywhere the acid has touched.
Thank you so much for this video 🙏🏽❤😊
Wow this video help me a lot thanks 🙏🏼😉
Heloo dear, amazingly educative tutorial, you are awesome. thank you for this. Someone professional on UA-cam said alcohol is a good dehydrator and I have said many people say this but you suggested acetone. So I don't know which would end up being appropriate.
She suggested in other videos to mix like about 90 % or so alcohol and the 10 % of pure acetone. I'd recommend to watch her other video about cleaning the nails
Thank you so much for this amazing education playlist!! I just started watching your videos a couple days ago and you are amazing the amount that I have learned from you in such a short amount of time! I just purchase the poly nail gel dual form system from makartt! I was wondering what’s the best gel polish that non nail techs can buy off amazon? Also any tips for making dual forms have the right apex?
Great tutorial , explained perfectly , thank you X
You are the actual best
I really enjoyed watching ur vid very informative thank you
heey can you talk about how to know if your products are expiered and how long they last from opening date ...plz
To see how long they last from opening just check the bottle or container. There will be a symbol that looks like a little open tub and inside it is how long you have to use the product. When you get new things just make a habit of writing down when it will expire for future reference. If a product changes in smell, consistency or if it just isn't working any more then it has probably expired.
love this video! would the right order be washing hands, dehydrator, base coat, 2 coats of gel manicure, top coat, wipping?
Thank you! This was VERY helpful !
You are so helpfull . Thank you 😊
When I do a hard gel overlay ( Light Elegance products ) I use VitaPrim then Tack then Power Bond as my base coat. Is this too much? I am using too many products?
Gels N Gems Nails yes I would say that’s a bit of overkill but if it’s working no need to change. “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”
Great video you are a great teacher.. Love it💕👍👍😄
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with me I have learned a lot
This was so informative!!
Thank you for the information it was very helpful to me.
I have a client who wanted gel nails. I have your products and prepped the nail with Light Elegance Nail Cleaner & Dehydrator. I put a coat of Tack on and cured it for 30seconds. I applied EnhanceClear gel and topped it off with Super Shiny. All with a 30 second cure. 60 seconds on the top coat.Within a week they all chipped off. What am I doing wrong?I’ve been doing nails for 16 years and have never had this problem.
Light Elegance tack and Akzentz are not compatible. They have completely different chemical formulas. Try using Light Elegance 1 step. Or get the base for Enhance.
Thank you soooooooooooo much for all your tips💖
I was curious as to what the reason would be to etch/take away the shine of the natural nail if they will still be prepped with a dehydrator and a non-acid primer? Given that the primer would have already created a bond and make it more difficult to soak off. Roughing the surface of the nail plus adding the primer, to me at least, seems redundant and more damaging. I have the Kiara Sky Gelly tips kit and their manufacturer steps say to do this. I was wondering if this is because it is just habitual to take away the shine on the nails and that is why they said to do this or would there be an actual noticeable advantage of doing both? I haven't been able to find an actual reasoning behind doing both these steps but maybe I am just missing something.
I know you mentioned non-acids still have acids, and I noticed some primers have methyl acetate as their last ingredient along with alcohols before it. Is this what you would describe as in the non-acid category as they do not have the strong characteristics you described acid primers have; being the strong odor and the look of the nail after it was applied.
Imagine applying tape to a completely smooth surface. It can come off easily because there is no texture to grip to. Dehydrator merely strips oils and sometimes has ingredients to change surface PH but it does nothing to add texture. Bonder acts like an adhesive by creating an extra sticky bond between the gel and the natural nail, but again it doesn't add texture. Acid primers do add texture by etching the nail plate but they also can cause severe allergies and burns if not properly used. But gently creating texture on the nail surface with a nail file we can create a surface that the gel can adhere to without using hefty acids or other chemicals.
Omg this is so complete, ill be so grateful if you can do it in spanish 🤞🏻🙏🏼
Hola! Justo estoy en el proceso de traducir mis videos! 😘
