I've tried to reduce spillover by applying the adhesive gel to 90% of my nail bed and leaving an open space for the gel to squish *up* to the free edge of natural nails. So far so good.
Tip: put your lamp on top of the box it came in when curing your nail tips on! I found it super awkward with the beetles lamp being on the table but not at all once I raised it up
What a great and detailed video. I used to do dip powder over nail tips and fills were so hard for me. Full cover is the answer. I'm well into my second week of my first set of Kiara Sky and have already filed off my polish twice with no issues and no need for a fill. Your channel is so helpful!
@@marianalopez3132 They lasted me until my own nails have grown out. It's been about 5 months. I am just careful with my fills and keeping the filler gel away from the cuticle area and sidewalls. I also don't wear my nails super long which helps.
Mia Secret makes a great primer and while I was initially doing the fills, I would brush a small amount of primer on the edge of the full cover nail growing away from the cuticle to seam it to my natural nail. You couldn't tell they weren't my own nails. Good Luck with them!
You inspired me to do a vintage nude pink look today. I just finished my nails and love them. Mine are a lighter pail pink with ringtones on the thumb and ring. Almond shape. Love them. Thanks for the inspiration.
@UCw88ePFLRvglRgiNQbEmz2w I’ve always changed them. So sorry. I can only keep them on for a week or two. I will do them again this weekend. Stay tuned. 😁
If you run that bit with the spur on a regular nail file it will help smooth it out so that you can use it without it hurting your cuticle. I've had to do that a couple times with new bits and it helps
Fixin’ to do my own nails but so glad you showed up because I have been unhappy with mine looking too wide. Didn’t realize they could be filed around the cutical area, that will make all the difference, thank you so much. Just roughing up the full tip before polishing ,like some people do , just hasn’t helped but this today has helped a lot! Have a blessed day… your nails turned out gorgeous love the color.
Well done. Nails look great!. I recommend that if you choose not to clean up underneath, you should at least clean off the sticky layer from the cured gel so as not to attract dirt and keep your nails optimal looking.
Run your drill normally across a normal file to get rid of your spur. You should do this anyway on all new heads, kind of like seasoning them to get rid of spurs that can be on straight from the factory...hope this helps.
Lovely! I like how you filed the edges to make them blend in! It looks so beautiful once polished. I have a question. The foundation gel you used for sticking the nail tips on, is that the same as builder gel in a bottle? Thank you!
Hello! Did you use the foundation on the tip as well as your natural nail or was it another gel you used? I can’t figure out if I missed a step..Excellent video
Nice, in this pandemic I started off doing my own nails with dip powder and then I went in to doing this. I love it! Now I have all this acrylic powder that I don't know what to do with... I have so many different colors! Lol But anyway, before I add my gel polish I do a layer of base gel before and then polish. I know it's not necessary but it makes the nail last longer and harder too plus polish looks way smoother.
I love this tutorial. You are detailed and very easy to understand. Your background music is perfect. (I hate when background music is blaring and you cannot hear the person trying to teach thru the tutorial. I thank you so much. ❤❤❤❤❤
I have a full video dedicated to removal. I take them off just like I would gel polish or acrylic. Just soak with acetone for easy removal. Thank you for watching!
When applying the extensions do you press all the way to the cuticle? I know with painting gel you shouldn't touch the cuticle but looks like you have put the soft gel extensions all the way to the cuticle? Thanks :)

@@sharonogallagher7897 Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that, did you etch the inside of the tips and buff the surface of your natural nail? Did you cleanse your nails of any oils/lotions before you started applying? I can’t think of anything else that may cause them to pop off.
@@PerfumedAndPolished yes I did all that, it seems that they separated from the first base gel layer on the natural nails and the gel layer on the inside of the tips, so weird!

Hey 👏🏽great video, I’m a new subscriber too. I like how you took the time to answer everyone’s queries. You deserved a subscribe just for that ☺️. Let’s see if my nails last longer than 5 days.
This is the system I use: Gelish Mini Terrific Trio Essentials Collection 9 mL Soak Off Gel Nail Polish Kit with pH Bond, Foundation Base, and Top It Off www.amazon.com/dp/B07T2KWGQ1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JX9G93DMB11VFEFR3JK7?psc=1
I'm slowly realizing they just made the duo kit so we would think it's something new. That gel adhesive is THICK. Glad to know I can use normal gel base.
I flash cure to save time, instead of fully curing each individual nail in the small lamp I fully cure all at once in my large lamp. The flash cure just ensures the nail won’t move before I fully cure but if you choose to you could just fully cure in the small lamp as well. Thank you 😊
I have very thin nails and I won't be able to use the electronic file. The best I can use would be ridge remover fine file to take the shine off. Would that be an acceptable alternative?
How high do you have your efile while cleaning up the spillage and cuticles,? And what type of efile from melody Susie do you have. I have the cheaper one from them the pink one but I want a better one from the brand and I really like yours
Hi, I find that if I apply the tip right up to the cuticle (which looks best at first) as it grows out it doesn’t look great as there was not room to take the topcoat over the edge to make grow out look neat. Any tips welcome x
You can leave space between the tip and the cuticle and then apply foundation gel to fill in the area or you can thin out the cuticle area of the tips a bit with a file before applying.
So I have the KS jelly tip kit but when I got the tips, they were too small. My nail beds are a bit wide. I don’t know if it’s because of the shape or what but I couldn’t use them. With these Amazon gel tips, can I use the KS system with them? Don’t want to have to spend more on another kit..
So you are using a builder gel to glue the full cover gel tips ? ❤ I have everything ready but I’m not sur if I should use builder gel or glue 😂lol…..your nails look great btw❤
I started using these kinds of tips but I have a problem. My nails are medium long and the free edge goes downwards. Therefore, if the tip fits the cuticle area really well, it does not fit the free edge. Should I cut my nails short? Should I simply fill the space and practically incorporate the free edge into the 'new' free edge? Help! 🙈
I always cut my nails really short before applying but I’ve seen them applied on longer nails, try adding more gel to fill the space I would assume or at the very least file the free edge and remove the portion of your nail that curves downward. I’m not a licensed nail tech so that’s just a suggestion from a DIY’er
how do u get them to be not crooked at least one of my middle fingers always is crooked cus when i'm putting on the tip i can't really tell if it's crooked until i've cured it cus of how u have to hold it
In my most recent video I used a new lamp, it’s a hands free table lamp with an adjustable neck, total game changer. You’re able to see the nail as it’s curing. Highly recommended!
Hi, are you referring to the sculpted type of full cover tips that have a deeper apex? If so, I don’t have that type of tip in my collection. I prefer to use tips that sit closer to the nail. If I ever purchase that type of tip I’ll definitely upload a tutorial using them.
Hi! I have a tutorial using half nail tips using polygel. I don’t use acrylic as of right now but will at some point. No, you don’t have to use acrylic to apply full nail tips, you can apply with gel.
On the full coverage tip when you apply the gel do you mean the foundation gel that you are using? I know you applied it to your natural now but is that the same product you applied to the gel full coverage nail?
My problem is that the gel glue spills onto my fingertips at the edge of my natural nail. And then I spend so much time trying to get it off my skin before I flash cure. How do I prevent that?
I have the same issue sometimes, it’s because of the amount of glue used and how hard you press the tip onto your nail. I try to press only until the glue reaches the end of my nail and then cure or I try to apply less glue so that it doesn’t spill out.
Is there a similar colour to pink gellac vintage nude that you would recommend available to Australian viewers? Beautiful nails and tutorial. Anyone know of any colours?

Yes, a foundation gel.

I have very thin nails and I won't be able to use the electronic file. The best I can use would be ridge remover fine file to take the shine off. Would that be an acceptable alternative?
Yes, you don’t have to use an e file.
How high do you have your efile while cleaning up the spillage and cuticles,? And what type of efile from melody Susie do you have. I have the cheaper one from them the pink one but I want a better one from the brand and I really like yours
I never really use it higher than 5000 RPM because that’s a comfortable speed for me. I use the Scarlett drill.
Hi, I find that if I apply the tip right up to the cuticle (which looks best at first) as it grows out it doesn’t look great as there was not room to take the topcoat over the edge to make grow out look neat. Any tips welcome x
You can leave space between the tip and the cuticle and then apply foundation gel to fill in the area or you can thin out the cuticle area of the tips a bit with a file before applying.
Wow these look amazing! How do you remove these please?
Thank you! I soak them off with acetone.
Hi. Is it the gelidh foundation your putting on the well of the nail before curing x
Yes
So I have the KS jelly tip kit but when I got the tips, they were too small. My nail beds are a bit wide. I don’t know if it’s because of the shape or what but I couldn’t use them. With these Amazon gel tips, can I use the KS system with them? Don’t want to have to spend more on another kit..
Yes, you can use the KS system with these tips.
i don’t own an e-file, is there another way to rough up the inside of the tip?
Yes, you can use a hand file or buffer or you can use primer, just apply a thin layer to the inside of the tip.
@@PerfumedAndPolished thank u!
I applied the nails. Not exactly the way you recommended, but I was able to get them to stay put. Thank you so much 😊
Awesome! Thank you 😊
So you are using a builder gel to glue the full cover gel tips ? ❤ I have everything ready but I’m not sur if I should use builder gel or glue 😂lol…..your nails look great btw❤
Thank you! I’m using a foundation gel, or gel glue that has to be cured.
@@PerfumedAndPolished thanks 😊 ❤️
I really like this video. Straight forward 🥰tfs
Thank You 😊
I started using these kinds of tips but I have a problem. My nails are medium long and the free edge goes downwards. Therefore, if the tip fits the cuticle area really well, it does not fit the free edge. Should I cut my nails short? Should I simply fill the space and practically incorporate the free edge into the 'new' free edge? Help! 🙈
I always cut my nails really short before applying but I’ve seen them applied on longer nails, try adding more gel to fill the space I would assume or at the very least file the free edge and remove the portion of your nail that curves downward. I’m not a licensed nail tech so that’s just a suggestion from a DIY’er
how do u get them to be not crooked at least one of my middle fingers always is crooked cus when i'm putting on the tip i can't really tell if it's crooked until i've cured it cus of how u have to hold it
In my most recent video I used a new lamp, it’s a hands free table lamp with an adjustable neck, total game changer. You’re able to see the nail as it’s curing. Highly recommended!
Do you have a link to the e-bit you use to clean up the “spilled” gel?

Would you post a video on applying full coverage tips with an apex please?
Hi, are you referring to the sculpted type of full cover tips that have a deeper apex? If so, I don’t have that type of tip in my collection. I prefer to use tips that sit closer to the nail. If I ever purchase that type of tip I’ll definitely upload a tutorial using them.
hey can i know what is the name of the glue used at 5:14 ?? Thankyou for such a detailed video !
amzn.to/3XhFuMr
Thank you for your video!
Thank you for watching 😊
what if i don't have a efile for to edge the gel nail
You can use a hand file or buffing block, buff the cuticle area of the tips before applying.
This might seem like a dumb question but how come you don’t paint over the shiny tips?
Gel polish may peel away from the tip if left shiny, roughing up the surface helps with adhesion.
I’m new to nail care and have a questions: does acrylic not need to be applied to full nails?
: do you have tutorials on half nail tips?
Hi! I have a tutorial using half nail tips using polygel. I don’t use acrylic as of right now but will at some point. No, you don’t have to use acrylic to apply full nail tips, you can apply with gel.
Ok thank you so much!! I’m about to attempt on my daughter !!
On the full coverage tip when you apply the gel do you mean the foundation gel that you are using? I know you applied it to your natural now but is that the same product you applied to the gel full coverage nail?
Yes, the foundation gel is what I applied to the tips.
Great video! Thank you!
Thank You ☺️
My problem is that the gel glue spills onto my fingertips at the edge of my natural nail. And then I spend so much time trying to get it off my skin before I flash cure. How do I prevent that?
I have the same issue sometimes, it’s because of the amount of glue used and how hard you press the tip onto your nail. I try to press only until the glue reaches the end of my nail and then cure or I try to apply less glue so that it doesn’t spill out.
Great tutorial. Thanks
Thank you 😊
Is the foundation the nail glue? My apologies if you mentioned it- I’m watching this on silent as my hubby sleeps 😅
Yes, I use the foundation gel to adhere the nails.
Is there a similar colour to pink gellac vintage nude that you would recommend available to Australian viewers? Beautiful nails and tutorial.
Anyone know of any colours?

Hey girl, do you stick them on with the foundation polish from Gelish ? And they stay ? And how would you infill these ?
I use a foundation gel to adhere and I use that same gel to do a fill.
@@PerfumedAndPolished this is crazy 🤯 I'm in Australia and we use the foundation as a regular base coat !! 2 purposes I love it ♥️ thanks boo xx
