yw!
You have seriously changed my life. I have SUPER thin, short nails and capping them has ALWAYS been my downfall.
THANK YOU.
Chelsey Garland your very welcome!
8 years later and this is the BEST tip I have found! Me and my short nails appreciate you and this to the point video.
It's these little details that make a world of difference, but not many mention them in their videos. Thank you 😊
Sara Garcia 😘
MOST STRAIGHTFORWARD AND HELPFUL VIDEO.
My nails are currently super short and I always have a problem with them completely peeling off the day after I paint them with gel. It’s super annoying. But I’m definitely going to try this technique. Thanks so so much!! I love that you got straight to the point. Just subscribed :)
glad it helped!
idk how i watched a video that was so short but also so helpful and easy to understand.
😁
Thank you for being helpful and getting straight to the point! I have a short attention span so I hate long instructional videos haha
😂 me too!
@@abetweene Me 2 I was like dear lord thank you 🤦♀️🤣🤭
The EXACT video I’ve been looking for 🙌🏽🙌🏽 THANK YOU!
Thank god for this 8 year old video!!! I was contemplating whether or not I could do a gel overlay, but I don't currently have a free edge, but I think that scrubbing motion could definitely help!!!
This is THE most useful video I have EVER seen! I'm so excited right now because my nails peel and break too badly to grow out but I have to repolish every couple days because I can't cap them properly without making SUCH a mess. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
Elisabeth Brewster wow, your very welcome!!!!!
This is my first youtube comment and I am making it because this tip is genius and a game changer my nails. It so amazing and the tip really made the word of a difference for my gel nails overall. Thank you so much! I am new doing my now nails and I have already learned a lot from you. You rock!

this CHANGED the game. i work in a hard labor job and my nail polish will chip within a day. this is making it last without chipping and it's the 3rd day!!
Brilliant! Thank you! I play ukulele and have to keep my nails short and have had trouble not getting it too think under the edge of my nail! This will be so much nicer!
Omg, thnk you 🤗 I just redid my gel manicure, for next time I'll def seal the free edge this way. Sealing the free edge on short nails has been my trouble spot. Thnks again.

thank you for the great tip! new subbie for sure ! xo
Nice, short and straight to the point! 1 thumbs up coming up!! 😂👏🏽
😊
I like that your videos are short and to the point.
Hypnotic Glamour thanks
Perfect. When my natural nails are long, my capping skills are pretty bad, I always end up with chunks of polish falling off from underneath. Since I’ve had to keep them short and food safe for work, I gave up on polish entirely.... Until this video. Great info.
This video showed in one minute what took another video 4 minutes, love that it's short and to the point
thanks! Im impatient & hate having to wait for the simplest answer 😂
Thank you for this tip! Learning piano and I have to keep really short nails but still want them to look good :)
perfect. 😉
Great tip!
Great tip! Thank you so much for sharing that! 😉
pggysu sure!
Thank you for this!!!
looks great
Great tip, thanks! What's the difference between the product inside a bottle vs jar? Thanks again!
+Liz usually, the difference is the viscosity. I find that the gel in pots are a bit thicker and often more pigmented
This is awesome
You. Are. Brilliant!!!!! My nails are short and I could never figure out how to cap then. I found my answer!!! Thank you!!!!! ^_^
PurpleKisses Hahah, well i wouldnt say that. I remember another artist doing this technique, im just passing it along Lol
What's the difference between the gel polishes that comes in the little jars and the gel polish that comes in the bottles like regular polish
dangerouslyloved16 The gel polish in bottles tends to be a bit thinner, so they're easier to work with especially if your a beginner.
Thank you! I love keeping my nails short because it's more sanitary. Happy we're not left out.
That helped me so much! Thank you
+Ásrún M your welcome!
Could you please let us know what type of brush you are using in this video? I have never thought of using anything other than the brush that comes with the polish
Hi! While I wouldn’t recommend this exact brush you can use any flat gel brush such as the ageha #1 brush, or similar from CND, Cheri, Presto, etc. Also the gel I’m using comes in a pot/jar instead of a bottle, so it doesn’t include a brush. The consistency is also sometimes much thicker, so you need a certain type of brush to have more control.
This is so helpful! Thanks for sharing this because I was really struggling with capping my short nails. Can you tell me about the brush you are using? It doesn't look like one that came from a regular bottle of gel.
your welcome. I saw an artist do this and thought it'd b very helpful to share. Im using a Japanese brand of gel polish that comes in a little pot/jar instead of a bottle. But you can use this technique with either👍🏽
Thank you so much!
yw!
Great tip. Thanks!
Vinatero de nada : )
Thank you for this video hun! What brushes are you using? I always find the brushes that come with the bottled gel polish sucks. Thanks!
These were just some inexpensive ones i found on Rakuten.
Fantastic tip!

I have a question what is the small brush your using to apply the polish called? It seems helpful since it’s smaller
A flat gel brush
Sooo helpful
I recently started getting into gel nails but, when you use the gel pots can you use a clear gel as a base coat and the top coat?
Kahiwa Hookano clear gel is suitable for base coat, but varies as a top coat sometimes. it may not have the same shine or wearabilty. It all depends on the product and if its marketed as a two in one.
I have had short nails for years due to my job in hospital, but no one could tell me how to finish the end of nails,,that's where my polish chips..Thank you so much for this tip..It works great..
Wow I have never thought of doing it this way
Thank you very much!
yw!
Love you!
love u too!
Thank you so much for sharing!! Do you mind sharing what brushes you used for this?? Most appreciated 💗
they were bought on a japanese site thats no longer operating.
Omg! I need to try this technique with regular nail polish.
This is best suited to gel, since it remains wet. Reg nail polish dries much faster & may therefore result in streaky application. Try this method instead ua-cam.com/video/dCfvD_6LwJs/v-deo.html
I'm having issues with the gel brushes that I brought. What kind of brush did you use?
I used a brush i bought on global.rakuten.com. I recommend b-r-s, Ageha, Tati, Akentz, and ibd brushes.
What kind of brushes are those. I think I need to use a different brush than what comes with the polish.
theyre just refered to as gel brushes. can be bought from various brands in varying shapes (flat, curve, etc)
Ohhhhhhhhhhh thanks for the tip!!
yw!
Thank u girl❤️❤️❤️
yw! ♥️
hey! hope all is well. just wondering what brushes you use in this video and how you keep up with them throughout application and after you're done. thanks! happy holidaze 🎁🎄
Hi! ive since upgraded from the brushes used in this video since they weren’t very good quality. But now i use mostly Presto, Ageha, Vetro, Ace Gel, and Lucu gel brushes. they can be found on naillabostore.com & Dailycharme among other online stores. You can wipe them off with gel cleanser or alcohol. and i will do an updated brush care routine for in-depth cleaning.
@@abetweene thanks for your quick reply! ill be looking out for that vid ✨ thanks for your help!
yw! ♥️
would you discourage gel for really thin nails? I grow mine out and then they tend to get so super thin... do you think it would do me a disservice? (I've heard it can be damaging) but I really want to get into it!
Lily Alexandra i think you can still try it as long as you stick to a product thats VERY easy to remove. Use soak off gels Only. Gelish is pretty simple for me, however i would discourage using a coarse file to remove the shine when prepping your nails for gel. Use the finest grit you can, preferably a sponge file in at least a 200 grit
Does this work for longer nails too?
I always try to cap off my nail the way they do it at the salon but i get polish under the nail lol and once the nail cures I feel that the polish went away or something lol because later I can see my white nail edge and no polish. lol
yup it does. the gel does shrink slightly which is why u may see the tips of your nails
Should we cap the nail multiple times as well? I've been trying to master Gel nails since the start of the quarantine.
with each application
Why do you use two different brushesz one for base and one for color?
just preference.
Thank you!
yw!
Brilliant
