    What a great tutorial! It took me a long time to get my gel polish to come out this well. I always use pH Bond too (it’s a dehydrator), it helps so much. I only use primer for nail extensions. For me, the bunching happens when I put the gel on too thick. Better 3 thin coats than 2 thicker coats with bunching.

      @friedpicklechips 2 місяці тому +1

      I had a book that suggested the most natural nail tip echos your nail bed - my nail bed is “squoval”, sort of a softly square-cornered oval. When I shape the edge of my nail to this shape it really does look nice.

    I can't express how much this video has helps. I've learned how to do these nails because I hate fake nails. Today has been awful my step dad wrecked and I haven't been able to take my mind off of it. I had to stay home while he went to the hospital so to pass time I did these. Your video has helped so much. So thank you. I'm gonna subscribe. I love your videos 🥺❣️

    @deniselovesglitter 5 років тому +1

    Welcome back and BIG CONGRATS!! 💐
    I so love the finish and longevity of gel, but my nail beds can’t tolerate the light. It got so bad that it hurt to wash my hair, and they became very discolored as they turned an unattractive shade of dark yellow. This was a few yrs ago, so do you think the technology of the lighting may have changed since then? I always thought they bulbs were the same, and it never occurred to me to ask whether they were led or not.
    Any advice?
    Also YOU ROCK!!!

    • @katie5713
      @katie5713 Рік тому +6

      1. Try painting with the tip of your nail pointed down so if the gel flows it flows away from your cuticles.
      2. Paint the center of your nail and only go up to about 2 mm from the cuticle. Then wipe the excess gel from your brush and "cut in" to finish the edges so the edges are thin and wont flow.
      3. Use a nice bright light and check the edges before you cure. Clean up with an orange stick or something, like she did in the video if there is any gel on the skin.
