I love the way you get to the point fast. No useless chatting.
Thanks for the feedback Sandra! Sometimes its nice to skip all the chit chat haha.
Agreed. Much appreciated.
I know right!!
I just tried this method and it works! No more layering a million coats of polish and no more streaky nails for me! Thank you 😊
Woohoo!!! So glad it worked for you! Thanks for sharing :):)
Thank you! I love wearing light colors but it's the most frustrating to paint bc of the streaking!! I'm going to attempt the floating!😁
WOW! I have been looking for a tutorial on this! I love how you edited your video and got right to it. It's easy to follow and your descriptives are perfect! Going to try this tonight!
Okay this makes sense! Thanks for the tips! I tried doing my nails with pastel colours for spring but couldn't avoid streaks.
So helpful! I've not heard of this before. I'm excited to give it a try!
Thanks for watching! Let me know how it works out for you! :) XO
Good job trying this now!
I have been doing my own nails for decades and have recently came across this streaking issue with a water-based polish. A beautiful color from a great brand I have been using for four years so I want to make this work. I will be trying this float technique and hopefully it works. Thank you!
This method works real well.Thank you
I'm really glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching! :)
Thanks for sharing. You have the cutest nails..❤❤
Thank you! And thanks for watching, I hope you found it helpful ◡̈
Looks great!!!! Wishing you a Happy New year!!!!! God bless!!! 🎉🎊✨
Happy New Year to you too!! XO
Thanks SO MUCH...I'm so glad I found your channel. I didn't understand why the deep colors I loved so much were so horribly streaky!!!
Yay!! Thanks for watching! I'm glad you found it helpful! ◡̈
Thank you so much Amanda!! This is so helpful! Thank you again for making this video because it rlly helped me. When I would apply my light polishes it would always come out streaky like you said but this method is very promising and I’m so thankful you posted this!! Thank you so much it was so helpful ❤❤ have a great new years everyone and love you Amanda!!
Thank you so much for watching Kaitlyn! I'm really glad that you found it helpful. It's the perfect method for light/streaky polishes ...if you give it a try, let me know how it works out for you!! Happy New Year!!! XOXO
@@AmandaBellaa Yes! I did give it a try and it worked perfectly!! Thank you so much! It worked amazingly and happy new year to you too!! ILYSM!! ❤❤
I’ve been trying to combat this for years! I gave up a long time ago and gave into salon, manicures or silicone nails with polish. I can’t afford to do that right now so I’m gonna try to do it myself using your suggestions. I will let you know how it goes!
Thank you that was very helpful ♥️!
Happy to hear that! Thank you for watching! XO
8:30 pm What was your drying time for the float coat? Mine stays soft for so long (hours). It’s hard to not scuff them. Any recommendations?
I've been doing nails for a long time and have been struggling with this forever. I never understood what people meant when they say to "float" the polish but you've explained it. Whenever I paint the second coat, I always get a dimple in the middle because I think my brush is pushing into the first layer of paint. Hopefully you can make more vids to break this down even more. I still don't get how you can fan the brush out without touch the nail.
Thank you so much for watching & for the feedback! The brush may end up touching the nail a bit, but the goal is to glide it over so that it barely does. We can do some deep diving! Stay tuned :)
Very good video! Nothing bugs me more than streaks. I will try this, thanks!
Hahah I hear that!!! Thanks for watching! XOXO
i will definitely try this
Thanks for watching! Let me know how it works for you! :)
Happy New Year Amanda! Great video yes this used to happen to me, my mistake was doing something like the floating but in the first coat.. always ended in a disaster. Most recently started doing the base coat, first layer, second layer then the top coat all thin layers, I leave it like that even if it is streaky or traslucent then the next day I apply a no that thin layer but also not exactly what you did here, only focusing on the top of my nail not edges not behind I try to make it quick then once is dry I apply top coat. It has work for me but I know is just more work but personally I don't mind also the third day I like to add another layer of top coat only to make it last more and then I'm set for wearing that manicure for as long as I want. Since I use regular polish this works wonders for me. But also I would definetely try this technique thanks for sharing.
Hey Girl! Thank you so much for watching & for sharing! If you found a method that works really well for you, I say keep running with it! DIY manicures may take a bit of trial and error, but we all end up finding our own ways of doing things just right! Love that you have a go-to system XOXO
Thank you so much for this ❤
You're welcome! I hope it helps ◡̈
@AmandaBellaa yes it did , used it on all my nails now look amazing ❤️😊thank you so much ❤️
I just had to float today lol, I'm now waiting for the increased drying time to be over. Darn neon colors, they can also get very streaky, and I made the mistake of not applying a white base, I do think that helps the coverage with certain colors. I still would have had to float the color anyway though, unless it streaked less on top of the white polish. Floated polish does look beautiful, no doubt, but it's definitely longer drying time, and for me anyway, a bit more nerve-wracking because it's so easy to smudge it. It can absolutely be worth the wait, I occasionally get asked if my polish is gel, and it's usually with a floated polish.
It worked omg 😭😭
Def gonna try this I got the new sheer summer collection from apres and I must b doing something wrong because I get streaks so I know I’m doing something wrong !
Nice job
Thank you! XO
As for request I would love to see more of nail care routine including hands.
Also more nail supplies recommendations I absolutely love your walmart and dollar tree videos.
Also it would be good something for people starting to take care of their nails like nail bitters or people with damaged nails from acrylic. Like all the simple steps and basic nails supplies to start
Also more about filing different shapes on natural nails and how to get them even. I always struggle with this because I want them even but some nails are just smaller like in the pinky.
Also would love to see all your nails tools and stuff and how you organize all of that.
And when spring comes cute pedicure designs I mean like something simple but beautiful.
I like to see more tips for growing and maintening long nails and also it would be cool if you documented your nails as they grow every week and then see like 1, 2 etc month growth
Also I would like to see more simples designs maybe a video trying a stamper I mean simple stuff I know you don't really do that much of nail art. But like french with a twist, using glitter, dots, stuff like that.
Love your videos thanks so much and happy new year Amanda💜
Oh my gosh, this list is AMAZING! Thank you for all of these ideas, you're going to keep me busy all year! :) XOXO
How long do you usually let your coats dry, especially the thicker one? I feel like I never wait long enough but idk how long to wait!
That unmarked top coat bottle makes me wonder 💭 I hope it’s yours. 😍
Yesss you caught on to it too😝👏🏼
Dream street was my favorite band growing up Jesse is my favorite singer to this day I seen him 5 times in concert
Haha yessss! I LOVED Dream Street. I'm so jealous that you got to see JM! I loved Chris and Greg, I think Chris passed away a few years ago. :( They were legendary!
Gorgeous Any suggestions for extremely dry winter hands?
Oh great video idea! Cuticle oil on repeat to keep nails/cuticles hydrated.Use your favorite lotion during the day (especially after washing), and then Aquaphor of coconut oil at night!
I love this! Do you use a fan to dry polish?
Usually not, but you definitely can!!
How long do I have to wait for the nails to dry after the floated coat? And after the final top coat?
Really would like to know, how to cap my nails, when my nails are short.
Love watching your videos.
Another question I would like to know,
How do I get soft skin around my nails? They are very calloused around my nails, on both sides.
I have problems with my fingers having small calluses near the nail too! Sometimes I trim it and try to use hand lotion every day
Thanks so much for watching! Capping shorter nails can be tricky because the polish is more likely get onto the skin. Try using just the corner of the polish brush to lightly sweep across the tip. If polish still transfers to the skin, a good clean up brush and a little remover works wonders!
Do you use a cuticle oil? Applying daily (morning, noon, and night) will completely transform that calloused, dry skin around the nails. Once your skin has been softened and repaired, it'll likely stay that way. I use (& probably abuse) cuticle oil and haven't had any issues with my cuticles or the skin around my nails for years! It's really the best. :)
Ahh so frustrating. Try using a cuticle oil more often than a lotion. The oil is designed to target that problem area and will concentrate on rehydrating & repairing any damaged skin. Also try to avoid clipping if possible - sometimes it causes more damage/irritation. :(
Do you know a way to do this with only 1 very thin layer? Going for a 1 coat french manicure look with a very powder pink. It looks great except for minor streaking. Considering attempting to mix with a small amt of remover in a separate cup.
1:30-1:37: Top tip!
I am gonna try this. I have so many pretty light colors that just dont work with even two coats.
Yes! Give it a shot and let me know how you make out! XO
The missing link- floating the polish🙃🙌🏾♥️
How long to wait between two coats?
I don’t understand how anyone has the patience for normal nail polish now that gel polish exist 😂 I can’t. Gel is cheap and fast!
I’m with you - definitely prefer my gel!! But once in a while I will paint a regular mani. And as I wait for it to dry… I remember why I love gel so much😂
👍🏽
I'm a guy so I have no idea what I'm talking about but I want my nails to be some kind of sparkly black. Do you think I could do it just like this with one of the sparkly coatings? Or is there something very important that I'm missing?
It works... On thing I'd like to learn how to do is: On the sides of my nails the nail goes deep into the skin. This makes getting polish on each side is not easy to do.. I try to press the skin on the sides away from the nail so I can get polish way down on the sides...
I googled this type of nail. It is called the C-Curve. The curve of your fingernail is determined by the shape of your matrix.
Nail shapes can be so tricky! I have trouble on the sides too. Have you tried painting to the edge and going back with acetone and clean up brush to remove any overflow/excess and prefect the line?
i heard you can put a hair clip on your finger pad like the part that isn’t the nail, and it’ll pull the sides away from the nail just enough for you to apply the polish without flooding
Tried doing this after the video, I've had to remove and redo 3 times cause it wasn't drying properly after such a thick appliance! Even after being super careful, not touching anything for 5 hrs, it still isn't dry, catched my fingerprint when I checked for dryness :(
I just want to sport a simple white nail! 🥺
No base coat?
Huh, I just was doing it completely wrong. I’m a swimmer, is there any way to stop chipping and peeling in the water? Having my lilac nails look nice is pretty euphoric gender wise :)
Try the essie Gel Couture Top Coat. I’m not a swimmer but I wash my hands often working in food service and it holds up for around 10 days.
How long after the floating coat should you allow for drying though 😭
Honestly as long as possible haha. The thicker layers definitely needs some extra time!
The thing is when i applied on bigger nail like on the thumb finger, i always run out of polish mid layer, like it’s not enough to finish a whole layer. Idk what to do anymore, t’s so hard to get even layer 😭
When i dip the brush in the bottle,i coat the entire length of the brushes, i don't swipe any polish off the sides and just bring a giant blob onto my thumbs.
But when i do thick layers i get bubbles 😩
i thought this video was actually gonna teach me how to float
Ma’am!!! What’s that top coat 😏😏😏!!! 😍
Hahaha you have good eyes! 😂
This works wonders when I have short nails..But when I try on long nails it goes streaky again...Any hacks for that
Plss pin!
Ahh, great point! You need a bit more polish to float on longer nails. I'd try dropping 2 beads of polish onto the nail before brushing it out; one at the base and one mid nail. Then float the brush from bottom to top!
@@AmandaBellaa That will really help a lot.
Thanks.😊
Unfortunately this didn’t work for sheer polish
Someone with nice normal nails.
