Wrong! I got gel nails. Didn't have them removed with a file, didn't peel them and my nails are so thin now and jagged, constantly peeling, breaking and tearing. Gel ruined my nails!

I had my sns removed today and then I cut them all super short. I’m following your advice to the LETTER! ❤

My nails need to heal now I’m going to follow these steps and be patient

Is 96w too high?

The sally hansen bottle says to wait 15 seconds and then remove it. I'll probably buy it on Amazon as a two pack.

Looking for new polishes and base/top coats after 2 years almost all my Young Nails products have thickened and are awful. I am so disappointed

I’ve developed it after 10 years of using gel polish, but I think, in my opinion, it mostly started because I started trimming and filing away my cuticles and skin around my nail instead of using cuticles cream. ( Like I used to do.) Which allowed the gel products to enter my nails and skin faster. Once they heal, I’m NOT going to do them on a regular bases anymore, and allow them to grow out as much as possible and just do my nails on special occasions. I think because I / we have been repeatedly (every 2-3 weeks) filing, buffing and redoing them that we have weakened our natural nail beds that allows even more gel products to enter our nails and skin. Which I never did my nails that often in the past, but with KZbin & me being home, I thought I was able to have them pretty year round. In the future I’m going to allow a millimeter of free gel polish around the nails. No more full coverage. Or im going to try a small amount of gel on the base of nail (for strength) and apply regular nail polish on top. I don’t care now if they don’t look anything like the pictures on social media. As we really don’t know how often they really do their nails or how far between each video they do their nails. I have a strong suspicion most people who do their nails at home will eventually get this allergy. Unless they find non allergic gel polishes and / or stop putting the chemicals that causes these allergies in the gel polishes.

Review Planet nails gel top coat

What r the best nails to use?

When I used the little lamp, it didn't harden the nails. I bought a uv light, and the nails got really hard. Just now taking them off.

Are there anyone with brand examples of good, hard and fast curing no-wipe UV top coats?

It’s also great for removing calluses. It’s actually mentioned on the back of the bottle. Dry skin on elbows too.

Hi I have a question! If I am doing a fill from previous hard gel work and there is a thin layer of product on the nail; Will the cuticle softener put that layer at risk of lifting?

You removed them well ☺️

My jell polish is always stuck on the cover then it gets hard

Can I still dm you 3 years later?

Amazing lady, not in it for the money. 25 years of acrylic and Gel, nails completely damaged and ruined. After using the local Chinese in my town, they got more aggressive using there tools. It burned under the lamps, but they said my nails were weak. Thanks to them! A new English lady was recommended to me, I thought brilliant she could fix them for me as seemed to understand nail care and damage, and was using hema free products. My nails were actually lifting off the nail bed, she told me I had psoriasis under the nail. She rebuilt my nails, with acrylic, cut old nail away. They kept breaking and she got annoyed about fixing them. So I told her I was going to have a break and let them heal. I wanted about 3 weeks to heal and make appointment with her for Christmas as I said they were very sore. She told me she had no appointment for Christmas. She didn’t offer to remove the acrylic. I went to a Chinese shop to get it removed they soaked it off and told me to use tree oil for 6 weeks. To be honest I am not going to have them done again, I am hoping the will grow natural and be health that’s what would make me happy now. I have found you can’t trust anyone, they want to be fast with there tools and even English use them now. Thank you for your video as now I know what to do as for the cuticles.

Gelish is too runny for my liking.

Chiming in in 2024! Their Unity gels are AMAZING. My last set lasted 7 weeks (I know I shouldn't have let it go that long but I'm a slacker).. No lifting or chips. I removed it because it was so grown out and I wanted a change of color. All it needed was some good cuticle cleanup and a dehydrator. I did use a top coat because I wanted extra shine and a better apex (very long and flat nails). LOVE bioseaweedgel now, it cut so much time off doing my nails.

Is tea tree oil good for my nails

I've noticed that i am getting bruised after curing my nails?? i thought maybe i am curing long? but you said it shouldn't be a problem . can you help me with that?

Hi great video! How do you deal with oily nails? I do all these steps carefully but still the hell peels off and leave the nail healthy. It looks like the nail is oily or not buffed enough?

what can I do about a nail that splits down the middle from the front?

Have you reviewed the Melody Susie Fleurwee line?

I wish more nail techs cared about the health first. I've always had brittle nails. This last pregnancy they grew long for annoy a month. One snagged then bam! All gone

Raw skin that's me after many years of never ever having an issue until I did my nails at a vacation trap salon. 💔💔💔

I’ve always said that it’s not the product that damages your nail but improper prep and product removal! Even though I know this, I’m a DIY hobbyist and have done some damage to my nails due to lack of experience… however, if I know I’ve done some damage, I will cut my nails right down and give them time to heal. Thank you for these great, simple tips! I’ve subscribed and will certainly start watching more of your videos. 👍🏻

I wanna cut my nails short very badddd but i just cant do it coz of the hyponycium i can see my nails even when i put my palm facing up coz it just cant be trimmed short

What are u using to remove the gel paint once its completed? Is it acetone or simple nail polish remover ?

No allergic reactions in any of your clients? With the beetles brand

Why the stains with the gelish side?? Do your clients work like in a salon??

Hi ! Question ? How do I keep from getting gel to thick on the free edge but making sure it's covered?

The ONLY way to have healthy nails after ANY type of gel, acrylic etc, you grow a full new nail bed. That's it.

I just ordered a dnd nail kit !! I’ve seen good things about it !!!

Can you review the manicurist? Sorry, new to your channel❤❤

So we do not need to use any oil on the nails? Smooth them out?

It also depends if somebody is right handed or left-handed. My right hand chips like crazy and my left hand is always perfect after two weeks.

Could you not use base or top gel for same effect?

You ramble too much 🙄

I decided today to get my gel nail polish off and take a break from it. The nail lady that I’ve been going to for years does very obviously rush and she uses the file to remove the polish. When I told her today I just want it off and don’t want to get a gel manicure she told me multiple times how my nails are bad and I need the gel nail polish. After the she told me that I need it for the second time I told her how my nails are super thin, they hurt and break easily and she didn’t ask again. I think that’s funny because clearly it is her fault my nails are like that. Im just thinking, this girl does not care about my nail health she just wants my money.. I’m so sick of her, I only go to her because my mom likes her and pays for my manicure when I go there but when I have her do designs it is so bad, she rushes so much and takes advantage of the fact that I always come back. Never again.. if my mom likes it, good, but I will never see her again (my nail lady and I have beef)

Do you have an update for this brand? Just wondering as this video is 2 years old

Didn't see you cap the edge until you use the top coat. Any reason for that ?

Thank you for this, especially the discussion on acetone soaking. Went down the whole hard gel rabbit hole trying to find the healthiest solution.. but i don't like the idea of my nails permanently covered in thick material in order to be healthy.

This really eased my uncertainty with using a lamp from Amazon. I use a mid price one a have some lifting and thought it was the into but it’s definitely me and my novice application skills.

i have SUNUV UV LED, how many minutes needs to be used for curing base, one coat, 2nd coat & top coat. I appreciate ur answer. Thank you

your shop is just beautiful. Congratulations!!!

Yikes, no way!

great information and well presented. Thanks

Thanks so much for putting this together for women like me that had suffered from wrong nail salon technical issues. I would like to get recommendations on what is the best hardener for nails in recovery (natural). I am doing what you suggested plus adding oil to my nails as I noticed oils prevents them from braking further.
