    Yay! Another amazing video. When I first started doing my nails I’d chase that white line of imaginary lifting it’s so funny that you mentioned that. 😂 Thank you for all the different angles you provide, they do not go unappreciated! Especially when you bevel the tip to adjust the thickness. Everyone says the angle, but seeing it helps because I start to second guess how I’m going in. Thank you!

    I'm 55 now and made the decision to make a career change 6 years ago. I went back to school and became a nail technician. I own my own business, a mobile nail salon that services men and women over the age of 50. I love it!! Best decision I ever made. Wish I had done it sooner! Your videos have helped me sooo much. I don't have girlfriends that do nails, so I have nobody to talk to about my work. I can't tell you enough how much I've learned watching you work. Thank you so much😊

  • @arrydoll2021
    @arrydoll2021 2 роки тому +2

    You’re so amazing. I have always had lifting issues on my DIY jobs, and even with professional services, because of my nail composition. Watching your videos has allowed me to assess my nail type and do gel manicures that last for weeks and weeks, when before I would have lifting in days due to lack of knowledge of accurate prep and gel types. I’m still learning, but I can’t thank you enough for allowing me to maintain beautiful gel nails when I previously thought it just wasn’t possible for me. I’ve been backfilling my nails for about a month now instead of doing full soak off removal and it’s just the best for the integrity of the nail (and it saves me so much time as well). I can’t thank you enough for this series!

    I love your videos. You give such good, clear explanation and direction. I'm the type that wants to know WHY you do a step and not just do this or that. I definitely want to switch from polygel to hard gels. I love the polygel, but I think I'm causing more damage to my nails by over filing it and into my natural nail. I don't use an e-file yet but I think I would be more comfortable with it. I'm very used to using one with a gentle touch making jewelry. Hope you are having a great day. Thank you so much. 💗💗💗

    I did my first incredibly successful backfill.
    when I tell you: filing off the loose gel, the inhibition layer, the wet layer, the final layer and the file down (I use ceramic bits) was an absolute success.
    I also successfully filed down the bulkly free edges of other nails.
    This was successful all because of your teaching
    I am forever grateful!

And your camera work is fantastic!!! I am so sick of watching videos where i cant see up close enough or whatever to see exactly the result of what they just did. But yours is so good that i can SEE it happening and its like a light bulb going off! I dont do anything more than dip powder on my natural nails. But i learned so much on efile technique, cuticle clean up and even painting the nail by watching you. I cant even do that as cleanly as id like. So im working on it. I have learned so much from binge watching you today. Thank you so much. Keep doing what you do. I dont understand why you dont have more subs!

    Thank you so much for this video! I’m I home DIYer and have done 3 backfills following along with your video. I’ve noticed this time, that I’ve gotten some lifting/large bubbles in the backfill area. I didn’t buff my new nail before applying gel and that’s the only thing I can think of changing. Do you have any addition recommendations?
