So once I make the mix of the cleanser can I use that to clean the nail after gel is applied also
Yes absolutely! It is for before, during (if needed), and after! :) This makes for a great cleanser for the whole service and the amount of acetone used is not significant enough to alter your soak-off gels. It actually helps to strip the inhibition layer off even better.
👍🏽Good question 👍🏽 how you educating the industry is amazing no other channel like yours x
Fantastic question and thank you for this video X
Genius!!
Thank you so much for shearing this. Did not know there was acetone in cleanser. Always hear acetone breaks down the gel, and slip solutions with acetone is no good, so i only use alcohol. But now i will make my own cleanser too.
🌹3:1 Alcohol to Acetone For anyone who just needs to know in a quick hurry. One of my trades is being an Aesthetician and something weird is i like doing my nails while watching other techs lol. So i searched and you came up🌺
Great video, from one Aesthetician to another. Your personality is lovely.
SuperNova AKA Queen The Creator thank youuuu i had made it before w this video and forgot and came back and i dont have time to rewatch lol thanks to the creator of the video as well !
Thank you!
So 3 cups of alcohol 1 cup acetone?
Ty
I have done this for years, and suggested this for years... and everyone and his uncle jumped all over me with criticisms, so I'm SUPER GLAD to see another informed pro suggest this!
Believe me I get a lot of haters. :) Great minds think alike for sure!
Again, nail school didn’t teach much about anything “Gel” 12 years ago. It feels like the gel industry has changed so much, that I can’t keep up. Thanks again for all your fundamentals. They really are a life changer for me. Some clients have no problem going 4 weeks, then some, I can’t get to stay on for just two. I’m definitely going to try the cleanser. Can’t wait for the rest.
I have pretty oily skin/hair/nails and I just can’t get more than about 10-14 days before gels start to lift on my most frequently used fingers. The one I got to last for 14 days was at a salon where the owner just kept moving my had to trigger the light for 3-4 cycles while she finished the other hand, baked it on so hard it didn’t move and I struggled to soak it off!
The mirror test, such an interesting tip!
I'm actually doing the mirror test right now.. To see if my nail cleanser is the right one..lol!
I changed my cleanser to alcohol and acetone mix after struggling with lifting of acrylic and gels when I was using Scrub Fresh.... Didn't know about how to test it back then... I guess it would be the blue colour additives that caused the issue. Just found your channel and love it! Xx
4:23pm what works best to measure the acetone and alcohol can moi use measuring cups
I was a nail technician many years ago and have recently decided I am going to get back into it and open up my own studio at home. I honestly couldn’t have done it without all of your videos Liz! They are amazing and so helpful. Any questions I have, I’ve found answers in your videos. Thank you so much!
So glad to be of help! Congrats on your new venture!!! ❤️✊
Off topic! Your makeup is GORGEOUS!
OMG - THIS is what I have been doing wrong. I bought this expensive nail cleanser that I later opened and noticed had a blue tint...didn't think too much of it. However, I didn't attribute that to why my application kept lifting! If I hadn't seen this video, I don't know how long it would have been before figuring out what was actually causing the lift to an otherwise properly prepped nail. Thank you, Liz!
I try to educate some of my friends about it but didn't go well. They are stucking on band name products. What you do is good for the industry. Thank you.
Great tip! And may I say, your skin is gorgeous
I've been doing this for 12 years only using 99% alcohol. I didn't think for a second that I could mix the 2! Thank you so much!!
I would also recommend going down in Alcohol percentage. 99% (especially with acetone) will evaporate faster and won’t last long enough to kill bacteria. It’s also less expensive to use 70-90 instead of 99. If you have a bunch of 99% you can dilute with a bit of distilled water.
WOWHOW did it not occur to me that my nail cleanser has GRAPE SEED OIL in it im gonna jump out a window this is probably why my gel lifts
thank you for saving my ass yet again
Hey, glad to see I'm not alone in preferring to avoid colour and perfume in cleansers. I hadn't considered the adhesion issue though, I just like to reduce as many unneeded potential allergens as possible. This was really interesting, thankyou!
Exactly!
I was using a popular blue colored nail cleanser and I was having a hard time getting gel to adhere to my natural nail. I switched over to your formula of just alcohol and acetone and have not had the same amount of lifting. It has been amazing!
WOW! Never would have thought of this! That’s very eye opening how much residue was left from that one! 👀 holy crap!
I cant THANK YOU enough for sharing your knowledge on how to do nails!! I have owned my beauty salon for 43 yrs and touch base on manicures only i beauty school but never had the chance to learn how to do it properly. I have learned so much from your videos and Love watching you and your pal Suzie!! I used to bite my nails til they bled and now they are beautiful!! THANK YOU AGAIN!! Sincerely, Karen
I didn't know know that about gel cleansers, I honestly never read the ingredient list. I could not figure out why my polish or top coat was pulling away from the edge, so thank you very much. I also didn't know you could mix alcohol and acetone, was scared it would make a bad chemical reaction, so thank you for that as well.
You forgot to list the link for the acetone or was it alcohol that you buy, by the gallon. I prefer that size too.
Thanks for this video - 😊
Ik this video is old but I want to say that I appreciate this video. I am new to gels, poly gels, using base coats, ect and I seen somewhere else that using alcohol first then acetone cleanses the nail. It definetly works! The thought of mixing them together had crossed my mind, but "what if there was a chemical reaction?" is what I thought. Today I find this video where a professional nail technician has taught me that it is safe to mix them together and in what quantities the mixture should be and im elated! Thank you so much.
Always had nail techs blaming me for lifting I experienced but probably the techs not properly cleansing my nails... great tips!!!
Thank you sooo much for your tutorials. Im self taught and only do my own nails using acrylic, but even so, your videos have been so helpful. And, I really appreciate how detailed you are. Thank you for all of your work. It is greatly appeciated.
Is that a David Bowie Labyrinth candle? 🤣 That is fantastic. I love it. 😂
Yes! I'm a huge Labyrinth fan.
I just fin.ished watching; and am stoked about saving money by using my own recipe!!! I've been paying a freaking fortune for a 'company' brand. Duh. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Wow! The mirror test explains it all. Great video much needed thank you x
I have been using 99% IPA but your tip on adding the Acetone makes such good sense. I will be adding this to mine now. Thanks Liz xXx
Hi Liz!
I love your work and since Im a DIY from Germany who is under no restrictions to buy products, I really like your work to lift restriction in the nail industry.
I know this video is a little bit older but I just started to do my nails in gel again and your videos help a lot to catch up. So, I hope I get the following explainations correct in a foreign language. After watching your Q&A session 2, were you mention that you use isopopanol for desinfection, I have to note something and I really hope you are not offended.
Even though I understand the intention to keep water away from the nails, you need a certain amount of water in the solution for the alcohol to work properly. I have a master degree in biology and even though Im not an expert on microbes, this was part of the basic studies and I try to explain the mechanism. The water function as a kind of carrier for the cell poison alcohol through the cell membran. Inside the membrane/cell the alcohol denaturate certain proteins and therefore destroy the cells of f.e. bacteria or fungus. Without the water the alcohol just stays outside the cell and denaturate proteins there and do not kill microbes. Thats why alcohol with 99.9% is almost ineffective against microbes. Thats the reason why alcohol as desinfektion even for surgery is a alcohol/water solution between 70-80%. There is always a certain amount of water in the skin, so parts of the alcohol may do the trick on skin, but I would not rely on that. Even though I want to keep the nails dry, I would never go above 90%, to always have enought water to carry the poison into the cell. Just my 2 cents.
And yes denatured ethanol would do the trick as well but you have to watch out what kind of chemical is use to denaturate the alcohol, because there are some, that are not good for the human body and therefore should not be use for cosmetic purpose. Others are on a oily base which I learned is also not good. To explain this would be another wall of text, so I leave it to this hint.
Maybe there is another reason besides working as dry as possible behind the high percentage of the alcohol you use and in this case I apologize for being so smart-alec (I hope that is the right word).
Thank you for that well informed explanation. That was a great explanation, simple easy to follow and understand. I now know how to better kill microbes. I cannot believe I am the 1st to like this and or say thank you. But please don't be scared or shy away from being a smarty pants, the world needs more of them, and not more dumbing down. 😊
@@catpride1323 Oh thank you! How sweet is this! Thanks!
Hi I'm planning to do my own gel nails, and this acetone and alcohol mix is sure going to help me. Thank you for making these videos, they're very helpful tips. Loving your videos. 👍
I'm kinda distracted by your perfect neutral smokey eye lol
Haha. I've been practicing! Thanks UA-cam! ;)
Omg for real! It's the first thing I thought when the video started. Like her makeup looks great. Lol.
Me too!!! I can't stop looking at it lol.
Glad I am not the only one! LOVE the soft pink!!!
I agree! The eyes have it! 😉😍
I just found your You tube video and am listening to you know. I am not sure as I'm new - but has anyone ever told you how beautiful your skin and makeup looks? Your skin looks so flawless and your eye makeup is really pretty. Not a girl crush here - just super wowed by your flawless beauty! I as SO excited to find a clip that speaks to gel residue removal. Thanks for your time!! Much appreciated!!
So a few days ago I bought a cleanser and now watching this video got me nervous to do the mirror test lol Great tip! You always explain things so easily!! Luckily, my cleanser had no grease in it but maybe after I finish this bottle I will try the DIY version!! Thank you!
I am using just 95% alcohol from the begging because it's way cheaper than the cleansers which are sold here + acetone after the alcohol. I tought thaht they may be better than the alcohol because are meant for prepping the nail plate but apparently i was not only saving money but struggles too :D I like when I accidentally chose the right thing!
Dess Bikova yep that is me also. Happy to accidentally be using the exact products without the need for expensive branded cleansers. I’ve never had lifting so Yay 😁 happy accident.
Same. I guess we just have good intuition? 🙃
Wish I had know this sooner, before spending $$$ on a mix of alcohol and acetone. By the way your skin looks flawless!!
I’m so glad I discovered your channel. You are so informative and thorough. This give me and I’m sure many others the confidence to go out there and give our best service. Thank you so much!
Thank you. Funny...I checked the SDS on a very popular name brand cleaner to see what they put in it ( ingredients not on label ) turns out SDS said that when something is a Proprietary Blend or Trade Secret they don't have to list the ingredients on the label. But SDS has the ingredients and the proportion. Turns out the contents are acetone and alcohol at approx 90% alcohol and 10% acetone. Plus a coloring. They charge about $20 maybe more for a 16oz bottle. Another company that is huge in nail product industry sells a Gel Cleanser liquid in a 32 Oz pretty bottle. Ingredients on the label shows 90% iso alcohol. Lol. They charge $15 a bottle, if I recall correctly. I had to buy this brand for school. So thank you for communicating this basic, simple, effective solution.
Awsome as always. Wow the mirror test was a real eye opener. Cheers from Australia🌺🐨
Your eye makeup is ON POINT! Simply gorgeous! Keep the fundamentals coming. Best source of knowledge out there. You are meant to be an educator! Thank you! P. S. Come to Utah and teach some classes!
Hey Liz, thank you for sharing this. I normally use just straight isopropyl alcohol as a cleanser and usually have the gel lifting away on the free edge of one to two nails each time. I could not figure out what I was doing wrong and thought it was just my nails and get did not want to stick. I'm definitely going to try this!
Such an informative video. I’m a gel gal (do my own due to no gel tech’s in my town) and I only ever used alcohol and acetone. I actually didn’t know I could mix them to make a cleanser. I just used alcohol to remove inhibition layer. The 100% that I use is expensive so I will definitely make this cleanser to stretch my products further. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us. 🌸🐨🌸
You are the best! I was doing everything very well and the neils didn't last very long on my clients. Now i know it's cleanser ! Thank you 👍🎀❤
as a chemistry and nail nerd, i really liked this video
This is great, your teaching people to think for themselves and be professionals
We need a tutorial on this eye look! Flawless!
I am so happy to found your channel, you are the real master!
You are for sure my best friend nail technician 👩🔧💅🏻thank you so much
Absolutely great demonstration! I'll try it with mine!
As one person commented, your beautiful smoky eye is very distracting and I wanted to add that your gorgeous perfect complexion is a distraction too LOL! However, I followed your recipe for gel cleanser and it does work well and is less expensive as well...so thank you for that useful tip to a novice diy polygel user 🙂
Very helpful video and thank you for sharing! 💅🏼😍
You are a fantastic teacher.
LIZ I LEARN SOOOO MUCH FROM YOU. IM SO HAPPY I FOUND YOU AND BECAME A SUBSCRIBER
Thank you, thank you, thank you! For the life of me, I could not figure out why the gel would pull back as I was applying it. I changed to the mix you suggest, and it fixed it!! Thank you!!! Your channel helps so much!
I’m really enjoying all your wonderful videos! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! PS: I absolutely love, love, love your eye makeup! 💖
Just re-did my mani the other day. I was experimenting with amending some cheap acrygel I got. It was supposed to be black, but was really gray. So I added black dip powder, clear building gel, black gel nail polish, and black holo glitter. Stuff doesn’t want to cure, so I’ll play with more liquid-y ingredients before tossing. My original point was to tell you that my base coat of clear dip powder has stayed on for weeks and weeks now, thanks to your great nail prep tips. I love gels, but have been putting the dip powder base on to protect my very weak and damaged natural nails. I did (and still do) your prep on my own nails, plus the base of old dip polish to do fills. So far no lifting and no problems. I’ve been using 99% alcohol as my slip and cleanser when I deal with the acrygels. Sorry for rambling. I’m just feeling like I want to gush my thanks to you for your great teaching. So, thank you once again!
where's the rest of sentence lol i wanted to see what you were doing..
Slightly off topic question, but with the talk of alcohol, acetone - what are your thoughts on protective glove use for nail techs? Necessary, unnecessary?
I made my own cleanser after watching your first base coat video and lifting problems went away, was amazed. Thank you for all this valuable information.
I love wearing gloves. I have a safety video coming up soon.
Yeeeeeyyyy 😀 I was waiting for this video. When I saw your pretty face in the notifications I was like, "wait, I have to watch this, be right back 😂
I saw one of your Spanish videos and you sound so cute.
I just tested the cleanser I always use and is actually really good. It didn't feel greasy and left no visible smudge marks when I rubbed it with my finger(which I made sure to wash my hands 1st) Then I wiped with 91% alcohol and came out clean. Then I mixed my 1st batch of cleanser. I used 3/4 cup of 91% alcohol to 1/4 cup of 100% pure acetone(which I made sure I read ingredients and acetone is actually the only one). Thank you sooooo much for this and all your videos with the awesome tutorials as well as the informative ones. I am most grateful appreciate you from deep in my heart ❤ Sending love from North Carolina US
Hey I'm from NC too! Nice to bump into someone from down home that loved educating themselves about this fun stuff as well and that speaks Spanish. All those things at once rare on here for some reason!
@@kellytzoc9127 Where in NC? I'm in Wake Forest
@@fallenangel5346 I'm from Rutherford County. We are an hour from Charlotte, NC, about 45 mins from Hendersonville, NC and about 30 mins from Spartanburg, SC.
@@kellytzoc9127 Ah gotcha, that's near Ashville. Maybe some day we can meet on a nail convention/expo or something. Normally they do them in Charlotte and Raleigh
@@fallenangel5346 We're about 2 hours from Asheville. That would be great!
Great tip I will definitely be making my own, I just use 70% alcohol.
If you are going to use 70% you may need to wait longer for the nails to dry. That level of IPA has a lot of water and water is the devil when it comes to gel. You can combat this also by adding a bit more acetone to the mix and also like I said giving the nails more time to dry completely.
Ah you are absolutely amazing Liz. Thank you so very much for these tutorials and your time
THIS! So much of this! Tried finding this information so many times. Thank you
Had to come back and watch again!!
Thank you for explaining everything so clearly! It explains it so nicely! Thank you!!!
Kindest regards
God bless

This is perfect thank you! I've started to come out with an allergic reaction to my brand nail prep cleanser. I'm a dabbler so this is so useful thank you again!! I can't not have nails lol
I bought a storage tower that’s used in a hair salon for my nail products. I didn’t know I spilt acetone on it. It melted the plastic. Wonderful DIY tip tfs Liz. Have a great day and enjoy the weather.
Awesome thanks. I’ve been using 90% Alcohol but haven’t been completely satisfied with it. Although I am so allergic to perfume that I cannot use the cleanser’s from most gel systems. Now how to make bonder?
Your complexion is so beautiful, so angelic❣️👼🏼
:( I just bought two cleaners from can west. Suppose it’s a marketing thing, base prep and then post service and they are coloured. Now I will make my own. Thank you for the educational video. You rock and now I will test my cleaners. Hopefully they aren’t to greasy and I can use it as they are brand new and not opened
Do the test for sure! If they're for a system you use and are meant to go with a specific product I'm sure it's fine. The issue arises when you use a cleanser that is not for the brand of gel you use and have issues caused by extra ingredients. The way I make my cleanser means I can use it with anything!
I was trained on akzents and found the price to be quite expensive for the prep and wipe but like you said the cleaner you make is good for anything and I like that idea. I'm definitely learning as i go and i appreciate all the information that you provide to your viewers youre a great help and a great educator. Keep up the great work and hopefully i get to meet you someday in the future!
I always use my own cleanser and now I will be mixing acetone and isop. alcohol. Normally I was just using the 91% Isop. Alcohol. Thanks for the tip on adding acetone. I wasn't sure about that cause when I get acetone on my skin, I peel bad. I am sure I can keep it from touching the skin however..haha Gotta be less messy..LOL TY so much for this video. I will make a video about this for my subscribers and shout you out for any of them who don't know you. tfs
IPA can also cause skin to peel if over used. Be sure to put moisture back after application through a good cuticle and lotion.
Oh absolutely. Always use my cuticle oils. Thanks for answering me. I really love your channel and content.
I've been using 91% isopropyl alcohol and it does a better job of cleaning my gel than an actual gel cleanser. The one they sell at ulta beauty (blue liquid) is what I was using. My nails were never clean and shiny looking until I started using 91% isopropyl alcohol
@@coolkid-xc1yi I actually mixed my 91% with acetone like she did and it works fab!! I have no more lifting. I didn't have much at all anyway but it helps a lot.
Your videos are so informative! Love them!!
Such an easy thing to overlook!
😊 Thank You
I always swoon over your makeup 😍😍
Thank you! I've been obsessed with YT makeup tutorials lately.
Thank You for tutorial! Trying Kiss Gel Lamp for 1st time and did not know out tacky layer. I had hm mix and it worked!
Can you please make a video on shaping nails as well as how to put nail forms on people with unusual nails shapes and nail beds.
That is coming! :)
Awesome idea and fyi.....educational and money saver....Thank you!
I found your channel through Babygirlnails. Good video!
Thanks for sharing. Will definitely be making my own cleanser from no own
Thankyou so much for all the lessons really helped me 😊
Great video - very informative. Thank you!!
I wanted to thank you for your video about fixing a split nail with tea bag paper.
I love all the information you give. Thank you. 🌺
Thank you for the video. I do the same thing. So funny, I thought I was the only one who made my own. Haha. BTW, you are so beautiful. A flawless face. Natural beauty. Love your make up.
Helped massively,thank you so much.
Thank you for all your help 💅
Hi Liz, thank you so much for sharing this amazing tips, could you please explain why using acetone on cleanser? And why not only using alcohol? Thanks . xxx
Great video! Im going to try this! I've always just used pure acetone before applying gels or acrylics. Will only using acetone for prep cause problems?
Thank you for sharing your techniques. I will make my own 🤗
Simply just love your videos.🤩
Thank you!
Thank you.Excellent explanation
Thank you so much for the tip of how to make your own cleaning fluid. I appreciate what you share very much 🍁🍄🐿💛❤🧡🐌🌰🍁
Great video, Liz! Nice tip with the mirror! 😃💕
thanks
I purchased the cinnatize nail cleanser from your site months ago because it wasn’t tied to a “system.” Is this one you don’t recommend using since it has both a pink color and a slight hint of cinnamon? I really like it and so do my clients.
stephanie baldwin cinnatize is actually an exception. It does not leave a residue at all. Do the mirror test with it and you’ll see what I mean. It’s a great cleanser.
Good information! Thank you for this!
I really don't know why you don't have like a kazillion views on your channel, you are the freaking textbook of how to be a nail tech, I love you soo much. Say hi to your husband Herman for me.
Also wanted to ask, can I also add Ethanol to this mix and what effect would it have on the mixture? Saw that a couple of cleansers have this ingredient, so pls reply and thank you so much for the information trove, checking you out on Instagram. Love ya 🎁🎁😍😙😘😚🙋
Still relevant love this gal!.
Wow, this explanes a lot...thanks for sharing
Omg thank you so much. This was super helpful 👏
Awesome video...tyfs💞 love this series it has been a great help..ty
Excellent and thorough as always. Thank you for this information!!
Hello LIz, I am catching up with all your content and I want to say how amazing you are and incredibly helpful your content is. I am a Bio Sculpture user as the brand is amazing and Ethical on top of it. I am in Canada and trying to soak in all I can get from the pros. I did my certification 30 years ago and went back to my dancing profession. Now with Covid and the art business being what it is I decided to refresh my skills and try to earn a little money from this. Ok so my question in regards to your nail cleanser, if the soft gels melt with acetone and you cleanse the nail with some acetone, won't it get the melting going? Do you use your nail cleanser on your gel to take the inhibition layer in order to buff or file to perfection?
I've always used just alcohol (96%) because it's way cheaper than cleansers and I always thought "well, if the goal is to get rid of oils, there's nothing better than alcohol". But what advantages does the acetone bring? I have an issue with the durabilty of the shine, do I get a more shiny outcome with that mix?
thanks so much Liz, much appreciated x
Thanks so much for your videos, i am learning so much and this is a great tip im going to try it !! Happy New Year and keep at it!! 😁
Happy new year!
