LongHairPrettyNails mine are ugly lol

[@afiqh9909]

Was about to say that. I had to thumbsdown because well i think naturally they are already beautiful. Imma guy so i dont know what is with the obsession of pushing back your nail cuticles. It drives me crazy like why would one push back their cuticle or even cut it.

[@Karmag3]

@@afiqh9909 because they want to, period. Get over it. Plus they literally said the nail would lift if they didn’t.

[@just_some_donkus]

Started doing my own nails as a form of self care and this video REALLY helped me figure out how to use the nail forms. I also thought about how my cuticles likely never received proper care at the nail salons I've gone to, because I've never had the cuticles pushed back at all! Thank you so much for this wonderful and detailed video!

[@selenabostick5844]

If you run out of forms you can put clear tape over grid paper (I was in high school. Reg lined paper is fine too). Cut even circles and tape it together like a real form. Nice emergency hack and my nails turned out great.

[@Longhairprettynails]

That's a great idea!

[@camilaslauren]

this might sound weird but i love that you actually did this video on your own nails. i’ve watched a lot of tutorials on youtube titled something along the lines of “how to do your own acrylic nails at home”, yet the person is usually always doing the nails on someone else in the video lol

[@MissNevada08]

THANK YOU for this video!!! My 43 year old ass is learning to do nails for the first time and I'm sitting here with my new acrylic kit, so this just give me so much more confidence get started. Very good video.

[@empresskarebear7519]

I could literally listen to your voice all day. And if I had nails like your natural nails, I wouldn't even be watching this video 😅

[@thatswhatshesaid.literally737]

👍😁 *Just a tip; if I find that my ball is too runny I just flip my hand upside down and continue to shape it with my hand up in the air until it has hardened enough. The runny part will settle to the middle of the nail and all you need to do then is pat down the sides and make sure they're straight. (It took me awhile to get liquid to powder ratio perfect, so this helped whenever I had found it to be too wet.) Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!*

[@marzipanmango]

I think some people are just blessed with beautiful, thick nails. My mom has similar nails to this lady, and all she does is file them every week or so. I do the same, eat the same foods, yet I have thin nails that flake at the ends like my dad.

[@JudithMeyers]

[@GryphonArmorer]

Ok, so first of all, I am a guy and realize it's kinda "weird" for me (a straight man) to be interested in these videos. 🤓😜🤣 Really I'm watching it for the artistic quality and because my daughter is always asking me to do her nails for her, because I'm a scale plastic model builder and work with pretty small scales. Now, of course I have to oblige, and usually do a pretty good job if I do say so, myself. 😉😂 Although the last time (last summer) it just fell apart. Literally fell apart. The polish started lifting after a couple days, and that is all I have done in the past, for her, is just "paint" them. But, she usually picks fairly intricate designs and she has very small/skinny nails. I'm thinking maybe this year she can have acrylic built up like in this video, and since I already have all the stuff to do it, because I use acrylic powders to fill large gaps and even form missing details and/or parts in building my models and since she's 16, almost 17 she can have something like that now. So I guess long story, short, thanks for sharing your knowledge and tips. It's a great help to see how it's done. I think last year I messed up because I don't think that I had buffed her nails prior to painting. Another thing was that my mom didn't have primer so I thought I would be "smart" and just used my model acrylic primer. That obviously wasn't a good enough substitute. So this year I'm getting a proper nail primer and I'm also going to experiment (on fake nails first) thinning and airbrushing gels. I know that sounds crazy, but there are some effects I want to see if I can achieve. If it works out on the test nails, maybe I'll video the process on my daughters nails and post it on my channel. 🤞

[@salma8970]

Gryphon Arms USA post a video!! (:

[@GryphonArmorer]

salma jaime . Yes ma'am. 😜 Yeah, I'm working on that. I've been pretty busy trying getting two dioramas ready for a show next month. And I'm kinda experimenting with gels to shoot them through my airbrush. That's the only way to get some of the "effects". My mom used to do her own nails but says she's forgotten how, so no pointers there. Just a little nervous to actually work on my daughters nails, as far as acrylic, because it's a little different with models. If I grind/sand too deep on a model it's no problem just fill the spot and start over, do that on a person and you get blood. We'll see, after the model show.

Lol.....So I purchased Mia Secret acrylic and monomer, have you tried it? Any tips you can give me for applying it? I understand that different brands are different to work with! Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thx!

[@Longhairprettynails]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I have tried Mia Secret colored acrylics and I like them. They are of great quality and not super runny. In my opinion really easy to work with. I haven't tried the monomer. But honestly I don't see much difference in monomers except for the smells or if they specify stuff like "fast drying" or "slow setting". It is true that each product works differently so just practice, practice, practice. Once you get the hang of it you'll be able to see how much monomer is needed in your brush to get the perfect consistency.
