10 TIPS I WISH I KNEW BEFORE I STARTED DOING NAILS ! ADVICE LEARNED FROM EXPERIENCE 💅🏼😅

[@raerae5530]

Please don’t change or feel like you are behind everyone else your content reaches who it’s meant for and I LOVE LONGER VIDEOS. Be you and stay true to you because those of us who enjoy your content will always be here. And watching you makes me want to start my own channel because of your authenticity but I haven’t worked up to it yet. We love it here 💕💕💕

[@Nailsslayedbyval]

Aww thank you so much for your sweet comment! ❤ im planning on doing a whole video about KZbin and talking about how I started ! So Everyone thats been thinking about it can try it ❤

[@nailsdesignedbyangel]

Watching your videos motivated me to start my own channel. I have been in a deep depression and I binge watched every video you made. I love art but never touched a polish before. I use to paint 20 years ago. Your positivity and passion for nails motivated me to not only start making pressons but also start my own you tube channel 3 months ago. Making these pressons gives me a reason to get up and get out of bed. And put in the work involved in learning not just about everything nails but also filming and editing my videos. I don’t have much family support so thank you for letting me know that this is common!! They just don’t understand. I just reached 100 subscribers and I’m so glad I found people that do support me!! I just wanted you to know that YOU put me on my path. And I am so thankful to have found your videos ❤❤

[@TheHolyQuran30in30]

Val you are amazing. your content is excellent! I love your sincerity, honesty and transparency. Yes, there are other creators doing press on nail content; however, they are not you. I come to your channel and binge because you come across as a regular person doing amazing things, I like that. That nail set is gorgeous, you are so talented! I so love your videos. You teach and come from a place of concern and sharing. I am certain your added business venture will be majorly successful. Keep up the good work and remain encouraged 💅

Obsessed with the grape nail!! And with listening to your chatty videos 🫶🏼

[@MeeshaDillard]

I have been watching your videos for a few months now. I think you are super talented and always see positive comments on your videos. Please don’t feel like you are behind or doubt yourself because you got talent and I look forward to watching your videos. You inspired me to do my own press ons and hopefully sell once I have a lot more time (my little people make it hard ha ha) but I have social anxiety and so the social media aspect kinda gets to me. But I would have never even thought about it if it wasn’t for you. So who knows maybe I can? But either way you are inspiring. I also wanna say that I appreciate your willingness to share and up lift other women because this world needs that. So thank you!

Thanks for all your helpful videos Val. I really need to put more time into insta and TikTok, I stick to KZbin mostly, but I will put more time into those moving forward, because I’m just building my website and that’s taking a while to do. Very good points in the video and I love the design.

Val, I think you do some awesome artwork and designs. You should feel blessed and confident. I love your philosophy about business. I too believe that you should under-sell and over-deliver. This way the customer gets more than they bargained for and they are more satisfied. 😊

[@SoHoMiMi89]

if possible, can you kindly share the chair from costco you use? i have multiple herniated disc and sciatica so its very challenging when im doing nails lol thank you love your content

[@SkyzVids]

Do you have a podcast? Or thought about having one... I love watching you do nails, a podcast could also be great!

[@linden5576]

I love that “glass-look” of the nails that you create❤❤❤❤🎉 I want a set of these fruit nails in a slightly longer almond shaped!! I tried to judge on how long the nails would be compared to your nail beds while you hold up the product for the photos, but it was just too hard for me to judge, I think that this particular may have been just a little bit short for me , so the one it like one size longer, but definitely not like a medium. ! But I don’t know my sizes and all tips sizes are going to differ so I don’t know how to get you the sizes that I would need other than sending you an email with the actual flexible tape measure on my now so you can decide what size I am because I’m not even 100% sure how the nails are supposed to fit from sidewall the sidewall! 🤔

[@gabrielaspf42]

Hi! I'm still in the middle of watching, but I just wanted to thank you in case I forgot at the end because of my video queue. I love the advice you give out! When I discovered your channel I was just interested in watching your techniques and art for entertainment because I've always found nail art videos relaxing. Though I followed nail artists before, I think you were the first one I saw do press-ons as a whole. It was eye-opening to find out there are so many custom press ons small businesses AND see how you give your viewers tips and tricks on how they could set up/run their own. I'm starting to do my nails at home, still have to figure out my medium because I got some poly gel, gel polish, and nail tips. They're all from pretty small starter kits so my colors and quantity are very limited, but enough to start practicing. I hope sometime in the future I can start doing press-ons and sell them, you've inspired me! I really appreciate you telling us how the traditional acrylic nail tech route wasn't for you and letting us know it's not the only way to be a nail artist. Suuuuper long comment over but I felt it necessary because most of the time I become a silent viewer and forget to show my favorite creators why I appreciate them.

[@Nailsslayedbyval]

Awww this was such a sweet comment! Thank you ❤ Im so glad ive inspired you! I love giving advice and talking about my journey and lessons learned ❤ And I appreciate all of my silent followers just as much as my non silent ones ❤ as a silent follower myself ! 🥰

[@glitterandglueforyou]

I can’t wait for you to start dropping products! Are Max’s tips wider than the Apres? I use Apres & I was making a set for a friend & the 00 was too small to fit her thumb. Also, the arch of the nail is high, are e-nail Couture’s lower or more natural? My Apres are natural, not sculpted & they’re still high.

[@Nailsslayedbyval]

Im going to make an entire video on my favorite nail tips ! Im filming it now ! ❤ It gets so confusing and EXPENSIVE to find out which tips are good and which are not so Im GLAD to help everyone out ! ❤

[@panicpoops]

Val do you think you could make a video on your favorite enail couture tips??? I want to switch to that brand but there’s so many options and I’m overwhelmed and scared of buying some with too deep of an apex.

[@Nailsslayedbyval]

@@panicpoops yes absolutely! 🩷

[@Tribeofthecosmic]

Hi Val. Thank you for the best tips for beginners. Im 30 days into this journey , each day practicing for couple hours….My plan is to step by step this process monthly … July was for me watching your vids , and practicing with the things ive purchased off amazon. Also fyi , I just want to say your so great at this. ✨✨✨🔥 You’re an inspiration and i strive to become great at this and make it a business where i can have a consistent way of earning. Quick question 🙋🏽‍♀️… i purchased a cheap lamp from walmart. I do plan on getting the one you mentioned but , i guess im wondering if there is a certain light that’s healthy for eyes. Sometimes after im finished with practicing for a couple hours, i notice my eyes get blurry. Thanks again!

[@nikkichickadee5566]

Hi! I just wanted to say sometimes if you're concentrating on one thing, whether its a t.v., computer, or nails with small details, your eyes can get very dry. You tend to not blink as much as you need to, so its recommended to look away like every 30 mins or so for at least 30 seconds and focus on something 10ft away or more. The dry eye can make your vision slightly blurry, and you're so focused on something close up that your eyes almost get used to it and don't want to return to normal right away. Hope this helps a little.

[@Tribeofthecosmic]

@@nikkichickadee5566 hi , thank you so much that actually makes alot of sense. I reason the advice 😊

[@catpride1323]

That is true and makes total sense, if your not looking into the uv/led light, your not right? Please don't ever look into that light !! For people who don't blink as much, you can purchase a bottle of liquid tears, and use it when you feel blurry or eyes are scratchy. Hope that helps as well 😊

[@Nailsslayedbyval]

Hi! Thank you ❤ The way I have my lamp set up, its on my right side not facing toward me at all that way it never hits my eyes 🥰

[@Tribeofthecosmic]

[@deborahroper3694]

I love your nails and the artwork you put into them. Could you show us and tell us how you attach them to our nails? Do you just use glue or what? What about other stuff people use to stick the nails on with? How do I know my nail sizes? I don’t know how to direct message a person. Could you send me a link or email address so I could understand how buying and using press on nails works?

i’m earlyyyy i forgot to ask if your brushes were going to be vegan 😭 if it’s not synthetic hair i can’t buy it 🥹 ok i go watch now dude! the yt algorithm sucks so much 😅 for 4 years i’ve been searching press on nail videos and yt wouldn’t give me anything but the same 5 ppl and other random stuff like pimple popping 😭 i would barely see any of your videos too, i would hv to scroll thru channels i was already subbed to, to be able to watch what i wanted to watch 😭 the searching on this app sucks even more for that….. it definitely pushed other people more than the actual people i wanted to watch which sucked. so for the ppl who are wondering why people can’t find them, it’s YTs fault not yours 🥹 i think your advice applies to any field tbh family/friends will show you their true self when it comes time. the ppl who support you will be loyal and even if they can’t buy they would share. the ppl who are jealous won’t buy from you or share, i wouldn’t wanna keep those ppl around anyways. you will find your ppl and sometimes it’s not the ppl you thought it would be. i wish everyone much luck :) i like making press ons for myself but honestly i don’t wanna make them for anyone else bc it’s fun for me and people can tend to not be fun 🥹

[@Nailsslayedbyval]

Yes ! Synthetic hair only 🥰

[@liljupe]

@@NailsslayedbyvalYOOPIE i’m excited!!! also if you do come out with a gel line would it be cruelty free 🥹 i totally would wanna support small first hehe and i’m trying to finish using up all the gels i have now so i can save to buy full collections from people who care and love nails as much as u hehe quality comes from passion frfr also i have the same problem with my dogs hair and he’s blond so it’s hard to see his hair on my white mats ahahhahaha but i saw a trick of someone using tape! i have some packing tape i’m gonna try using but i also see people use that slime looking putty that picks up dust and stuff :) but i had tape already so ama try that xD good luck!

[@unboundbytiffany]

All gel brushes should be synthetic, no point in kolinsky gel brushes (only for acrylic. ;). But to be fair. Kolinsky is a byproduct that would otherwise be thrown away, the weasel isn't harmed specifically or even mostly for the kolinsky hair for brushes.

[@liljupe]

@@unboundbytiffanythat’s interesting seeing as how the animal was hunted so much that people were charging more bc they said there weren’t enough animals to hunt… but to be fair animals don’t deserve to be hunted…

@liljupe not sure where you got that info love. But they're actually bred not wild and hunted.

Thank you so much for these tips 🙌🙌🫶 I was wondering if you could tell what uv light you use since I couldn’t find it on your Amazon storefront 🫶

[@catpride1323]

I believe at one time she was using a Melody Susie, but it was starting to die, and she was gonna switch to another brand - can't remember which it was. To be honest, most of the name brand ones, work the same. Pick one that your getting a good price on. You shouldn't be paying $500. ea like we did years ago. Find one that has the features you want, that you think is pretty and wait for it to be on sale... 😊 Hope that helps 🙂
