When your curing, if you have a heat spike, pull your nails out, let them cool, put them back in, pull back out. Do this back and forth until the time is up. Usually heat spikes are caused by product being too thick. Try applying thinner coats and curing in between each coat. Having a lamp that pulses the light also helps with heat spikes.
@Katelyn Cecelia Everything I have watched from Nail Techs say the biggest issue to prevent heat spikes is to not have the product too thick. A flashing light in the lamp really helps with this. I'm not a nail tech, but have been doing my own nails since 2016. You can research this online too.
I love this set!! I like how you applied the light pink toned gel to your nail-beds, it gave it a more natural look!! The reason why you get burning is you’re applying thicker layers of gel onto your nail-beds and if you put them all the way into the lamp you will get burning. Some lamps have settings which allow you to decrease the heat by half, which can help with the burning. If you don’t have a lamp with that feature, you can slide your hands/fingers in and out of the lamp as you feel the burning start. When the burning subsides, then slide your fingers back in. You can do this until the burning stops and then leave your hand in for the full cure time. This usually helps people get past the burning. Also, the reason you didn’t have burning when you only applied gel to your tips, was because you weren’t applying gel over your nail-beds.....it was just the tip or the free edge of the nail. Hope this helps!
This is my favorite nail extension look by far. It used to be popular in the late 80's and 90's in Los Angeles. When I moved to Atlanta, no one knew what I was talking about when I asked for gel nails. I would just get my nails done whenever I went back to Los Angeles. Now I can do them myself (potentially)
I feel like this look is one I should be trying to master bcuz of those girls who want to get a natural look but still have their nails done and are tired of french nails and nudes. Perfect 💜
It's pure perfection, isn't it?! Every time I do a fresh set I think about leaving it like that but then I do some crazy design LOL! But it's just beautiful!
‘Beauty is pain.’ Also, it burns because it’s not a cool gel. That burning sensation is actually the chemicals in the gel reacting to the heat of the lamp. You can try the putting it in, taking it out method for the first ten seconds or so then cure normally the remaining time
Omg thank you for actually showing this w tips ! I went through so many videos listed as tips but they were just whole press on type nails , glued on a nail w gel over the top ... I appreciate you
I have had so much trouble finish filing my nails into shape perfectly..and watching your videos (a thousand times lol), I have now realized so many things that I haven’t been doing right. For example, you always hold whatever nail ur filing to keep it stable..just that little thing alone helped me tremendously..it’s the little things like that I now realize are so important..ty for your videos!
I don't buff or blend my tips. I lay down a thin layer of clear acrylic first, over my whole nail bed, then when it's matte, I press the tip onto it. That glues it down and provides a smooth transition, generally. Then I do my nail bed and cuticle area with my chosen colored acrylic, dragging a very thin layer over the edge where the tip meets my nail bed. That makes it look softer and more natural. Then I build up my whole nail with clear. Once that sets, I carve out my cuticle area, do any other filing, and finish with gel top coat. It's the same result, I just wanted to offer an alternative to the hard gel in case anyone wants it❤
HERE'S A TIP TO HELP WITH THE PAIN. To avoid the pain from the heat of the gel going under the lamp do 1 nail at a time, do a flash cure 10 seconds and less gel, the gel should be thin for each layer. If you have the small flash light LED lamp that will work perfect as you go thru the initial process on each nail. Use the bigger lamp as you finish. Hope this helps. 💅 this will avoid a lot of the heat exposure from the lamp.
You already know I am obsessed with your gel application and I am so happy when you post!! These are soooooo gorgeous! Thin and smooth and flawless....everything they should be! Definitely try holding your hand outside of the lamp for 30 seconds, and then put them inside for the full cure. That gel must cure very quickly if you're getting that bad of a heat spike. You should only get a heat spike the first layer that you cure, after that there should not be any pain. Thanks so much for this beautiful video!!!💕💗💕💗
You made me get out all my old ibd gels and tips and redo my nails. I forgot how pretty and natural they look compared to other options . Some of my nails didn’t even need a tip and they look so good!
You can also reduce the pain of heat spikes by just putting your hand in the lamp for a second at a time and then pulling it out for a few seconds. You can do this several times and then the gel won’t burn you. Sometimes I will go in and out 5 or 6 times and even hold my nails right outside of the lamp so the nails can still cure from the lights, just not directly inside the lamp. This works great!
Beautiful, thank you ! I was looking for a video of somebody using tips with gel just to see if it will work as I will find it easier doing it this way. Couldn't find many of those videos but yours is very very helpful !
WOW Girl your nails look so natural. Thank you so much for showing this because I have been trying to find a video like this. I will definitely be buying these tips. Thanks again and your nails are beautiful.
Hi, I have a question so when you prep the nail, do you use alcohol or no because some in some videos that I’ve watched some say, do not use alcohol to wipe after you’ve prepped the nails.. and when you say you’re cleaning the nail off, are you using a certain specific product?
very pretty!! another tip for heat spikes is put your nails just in front of the lamp instead of all the way in for 10 seconds then put them in, The light coming out of the lamp will be enough to start the curing process without the intense light. still put them in and out a couple of times after that and you should be good to go :-)
The heat spike is bc the gel cures so fast. I find it helps if I don’t put my hand all the way into the lamp. I place my hand under just enough for the light to hit a little keep there for 10 secs or so and then put my whole under the lamp. I hope this helps!! Absolutely gorgeous set!! I must try this
Just beautiful! Just the inspiration that I have been needing to get my butt in gear and put a new set of natural looking gel & tips on, too! I've been without nail extensions for 3 months, 9 months since I did my last set like this and just let them grow out. Time for some new nails, I can keep this playing in the background to keep me motivated!
All hard gels burn in LED lamps. The heat spike is actually a friction burn when curing fast. Hard gel doesn't burn if cured in a UV lamp as it cures slower. It was actually designed to be cured with UV. Both lamps will cure properly though. Beautiful set!
Beautiful set! A quick note though: I noticed you swiped the SuperBond on your cuticles. You should be a bit careful with your primer. It's not good to get it on the skin because you can develop an allergy over time. Try to keep it only on the nails.
This is my favorite video I watch it all the time. I'm going to finally attempt to do them in the morning I hope they come out right. Please upload more videos!
@@RheRheSmily good actually better than I expected they didn't look as good as hers though lol but I keep practicing. I went back to doing acrylics for now
I want to do these in dip powder. This gel set will always be my very favorite look. The shaping is perfect! I wish I had not developed that gel allergy!
A little pain for a little beauty. YES I've experienced pain with name brands gels IBD gel and probably Veralisa gels which I love. Beautiful natural nails set💜🧡
I’ve been told to place the hand just outside of the light where they can still be hit by some light but not full force. Allow them to begin to cure(about 20 seconds) and then slowly move them further into the lamp to fully cure. I might be completely wrong but worth the try
Hi! I’ve tested and found that if I use my led lamp on “low” or the 120 seconds low heat, it doesn’t burn my clients like the higher heat setting of 60 or 90 seconds. Hope this helps!
Hello 👋 I’m new to your channel I come across this video and omg them nails are absolutely beautiful I know what u mean about burning 🔥 this happens to me a lot and boy does it hurt I buy from AliExpress there great for prices to I’m disabled and low income as not able to work but I’m trying to teach myself about doing nails acrylics and gel I love ❤️ everything about nails and I have found doing them really helps with my depression and the fact being disabled I don’t get out much my only downfall is being able to buy all the products but i do my best and had a couple of lovely nail tech’s have sent me few bits to help I have some practice hands now to use when get more items I’m in the U.K. I’m looking forward to watching more of your work as it’s all learning for me so thanks very much for sharing xxxx❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your comment ❤️❤️ I hope you take good care of yourself. I understand that it can be lonely sometimes, I say at home a lot too atm. It’s really nice to have this hobby, I’m happy you enjoy watching my videos. Hopefully I can inspire you more to do what you like ❤️
Nice to see a video of gel. So much acrylic out there. Especially gel with tips... Not often I see these. Thank you!
I agree, nothing wrong with acrylic but it’s overkill lol
@@lyczious yes! I use gel primarily, so bring on the gel videos!
I don't agree, there's so much polygel videos out a few months ago.
@@LovePrettyNailsLady-Jay80 polygel is everywhere. This is builder gel. The consistency is completely different.

What do you mean “actual”?
Can this damage your natural nails

It burns because it's too thick. Definitely shouldn't be as painful as she's describing it.

Use the 99sec setting on your light. Its a slower cure at first then increases after 30 seconds. Or use a light with a flash cure.
I love how you used actual tips. What is the name of the bit that you're using on the drill?

I find that the heat burn occurs with any thick layer of gel no matter the brand.
