thanks!

using org mineral peel as a cuticle remover is THE BEST IDEA EVER 💡!!! thank you goddess for mentioning this in the video. I will never go back to soaking in water or other products! ❤ ❤ ❤

[@abetweene]

Amazing, right!? ❤️

[@MsReneeSparxXx]

I thought I was the only one who loved to blush over my nails after I do my fresh manicure. It just looks too good to cover with colored paint.

[@TheMissPiplup]

I paint my nails anyway - I just go for a sheer polish.

[@sofiarosa8579]

my nails grow naturally square, except for my pointer finger lol its more oval-ish, but still kinda square :P how would i file it to match my other more square nails

[@abetweene]

sofiamaria94 you will file the edge horizontally until it creates a 90 degree angle with your side walls. unfortunately it means you may loose a lot of length depending on how strong the oval shape is

[@nicoledobra]

@@abetweene hey, i didn't know nail science means also MATH! 🤣 🤣 🤣

My nails are also the same, all of them are square instead of my index fingers, that are ROUND😒

+Megan Z yes, i was so hype to shape my nails after letting them grow out for this video! But then i just cut them right off again lol

Very interesting and informative video! I usually do the same things in my nail care routine except that I don't use cuticle softener or remover, I just push them back and moisturize them after I've done my manicure and have painted my nails! I think I get the same result! Love your video xx love you

this is a great video... loveee the almond shape!

[@abetweene]

thanks!

I followed your method and my nails grew so much. I also started carrying a nail file everywhere so if ever I got a snag I would file it right then and there and that also was a game changer.

[@lanomada2634]

This video has been amazing! I've always labored over shaping my nails (I like the almond shape), just by filing a little more here and a little more there - and at the end of the day, the nails would all be different lengths and shapes :( You broke it down so well how to achieve oval and almond shapes! I'm gonna share this video with all of my friends. Also, you shared some really helpful products and nail care techniques. Thank you!!

If you can do an other video about the diamamcel files. Please talk about the nails one as well. If its any different from normal files. Also the feet ones which once u find usefull. Or if we need to get all three files or they re all the same.

[@sandrastreifel6452]

I first thought she said “chew it up”, not “true it up”!?! I love to straighten up the sidewalls, but I do it when there’s polish on the nails, for strength.

[@abetweene]

lol

[@AS-010o0]

Where did u buy or tools ?

[@s.g.8663]

Is there another base coat that you use now? It seems like the milky white base coat is discontinued I can’t find it anywhere 🙈

Stunning! I went to purchase the milky white base coat and it seems to be out of stock on multiple websites. I was wondering if there a similar base coat you recommend? xo, new sub!

[@abetweene]

unfortunately i havent found anything comparable

[@priscillapelle5571]

Great video, thanks so much! How long does the diamancel nail file usually last? It's more than what I'd like to pay, but if it lasts awhile I may look into it.

[@abetweene]

sorry i dont recall. It may have been Opi bubble bath or a custom mix.

[@hospitalcakewalk]

I love almond nails and nearly all my nails are round at the cuticle, except my thumbs which are square. Should I just square those off or could I almond them too? also, I subbed because I love your videos!

[@abetweene]

hospitalcakewalk You can still stick with an almond shape on all your nails. The cuticle trick isnt a solid rule, you can do whatever you want! ❤

where did u get that nail file? looks like it works really well

Sephora. It really does. Its made from diamonds so it never dulls, and its stainless steel so you can wash & sanitize it

[@sherrywatson7347]

I really enjoyed your video but would like to try some of the products you mentioned, however there is no list of products beneath the video. It just says, "coming soon". When do you think that will be? Thanks!

[@maddydickens7554]

What if my cuticle lines are all different? This is my problem with shaping my nails

[@PurpleQQuueenn]

can you use a regular base coat and then do a gel overlay? I noticed that doing at home gel nails made my nail a bit thinner/weaker - but it saves me a fortune in time and buying regular polish that only lasts a few days.....thanks!

[@abetweene]

PurpleQQuueenn No, gel needs to adhere to the natural nail.

[@InshasChoice]

My nails are naturally short. I dont want to grow them out because all I can see is dirt and all that gunk. But I want to look put together

[@justinvaldez3189]

How long did it take for you to grow out your nails? Btw love your videos!

[@abetweene]

about 5 weeks. Thanks!

[@jankoraven]

I ordered the milky white base coat from Amazon after seeing how lovely it was in your other nail care video, but I find that it peels like crazy! Does this happen to you, am I doing something wrong with it, or did I just happen to get a bad bottle?

[@abetweene]

nope, I never have that problem. Try dehydrating your nails prior (you can use a primer too) and never wash your hands before you polish them. Your hands should be completely dry

[@aheartofworship27]

Hi, which nail bit could I use to buff the natural nail? What about a thick nail? Thanks.

[@abetweene]

id probably suggest just a hand sponge file of 220 or more vs a bit. it would ultimately be cheaper

[@SashaKhripkova]

So lucky that you can rock oval and almond nails! Such an informative video as always!

[@abetweene]

+Sasha Khripkova thanks hun!

[@alexal5155]

What was the name of the nail polish at the beginning? And how many coats did you use?

[@abetweene]

OPI Samoan Sand, 2 coats

[@HmoobSmiles]

Thank you. Very informative and helpful. You'd think the almost shape would be more intuitive.

[@cynthiaibarra4897]

How can I go from almond to oval nails? I like the more round aspect of them!

[@abetweene]

essentially, you’re going to lose some length. So assuming youre ok with that, you want to cut enough nail that you have a straight free edge and side walls or pretty close. Then reshape the new edge as outlined for oval.

[@craftsandnails]

no no no thats the worst thing u can do file down the sidewall further, that emmm beginning gives strength to the nail, support, :( use cuticle oil to avoid dry skin there

[@reshik8364]

craftsandnails Filing the sides of your nails does not weaken them. It’s a common rumor. Your natural C-Curve is not affected by your free-edge shape.

[@phychugirl]

I was looking for your gel overlay tutorial last week and couldn't find it. Will you be reuploading it?

[@abetweene]

+Sydney McFerren Im re-filming it. the technique i use is actually the same as my "fix a broken nail with gel' minus the silk wrap. so you use that as a reference

[@phychugirl]

+abetweene Thanks so much! I'm looking forward to the new video, too. I love your channel! Your videos are so straight forward and informative.

[@abetweene]

+Sydney McFerren that makes me very happy to hear😁

[@reshik8364]

So I'm having a huge problem. My C-Curve on my thumb. I used to do acrylics with barely any knowledge and I tried pinching and completely bent out the C-Curve on my thumb. I have considered putting acrylic on my thumb and curving out the other side as well but I heard it's really bad to pinch your nails too much. What do I do?

[@abetweene]

+ReshiK Keep in mind, I dont have professional training but i dont think itd be a problem. Even regular nail polish reinforces the c curve, so it it isn’t unnatural.

[@cityoflovefashion]

i love u so much! i wish you were in philly to do my nails lol

[@abetweene]

I am in philly! heyyyy🙋🏽

[@cheilseab5128]

Where can I find the ORG Mineral Peel?🤔

[@abetweene]

I buy mine on amazon.

[@tanya4534]

How often should I trim my nails to prevent breakage & encourage growth?

[@abetweene]

You actually don’t need to trim to encourage growth. Instead I recommend keeping your nails painted at all times to help protect them against accidental breaks and apply oil daily to the the surrounding skin and underside of the free edge (if you have the length.)

[@MakeithappenYolo]

@@abetweene Hi, was wondering wether we can apply the oil on painted nails and expect the results. Very informative video, thank you!

[@abetweene]

Yes you can. Massaging them will still encourage growth ♥️

[@sevimavyuzen9765]

oval 👍

[@tonispencer]

How did you get your natural nails too grow oval shape the nail shop tell me I can’t get it😩

[@abetweene]

our nails dont grow in a particilar shape but you can file them into whatever shape u want

[@tonispencer]

@@abetweene ok thanks

[@lgcoolstuff]

but the soak off gel right? do u have to remove the gel every time if u wear gel polish over it

[@abetweene]

lgcoolstuff are u referring to builder gel or gel polish?

[@lgcoolstuff]

To the builder gel ... and can u wear normal polish or gel polish over the builder gel 'nail'

[@abetweene]

lgcoolstuff if your wearing builder gel as an overlay or extension you dont need to soak everything off, you just file off the color. You can wear regular polish over builder gel as well

[@lgcoolstuff]

Thank u will u do an extencion video soon with soak off gel (sorry fpr my bad english)

[@unamattina6023]

My nailbed is not very good because I was biting my nails. What can i do for this help me pls?

[@abetweene]

find a task to substitute your nail biting. Its usually a habit developed when people are anxious, etc so when you feel your trigger emotions, instead, draw, write, or anything else you enjoy. Now you have to let your nails grow out. I recommend rubbing oil into them daily. I use jojoba, almond, olive, or any oil i can find in my house. This alone will do wonders!

[@unamattina6023]

abetweene actually I stopped biting my nails. Now they are growing very well but the only problem is their(my nailbeds) shapes.

[@abetweene]

Oh i see! Unfortunately theres no way to change the shape of your nails beds. But you can sculpt extensions to help camouflage and build the nail structure that you want.

[@cucumberbreezee]

i thought that filing the very sides of your nails creates hang nails???

[@abetweene]

only if your file is too high of a grit and you don't take precaution to file properly.

[@tamzinadonna1218]

How much nail should be grown out before being shaped like an almond?

[@abetweene]

the shorter your nail bed, the more length youll need to achieve the almond shape.

[@tamzinadonna1218]

abetweene so is it bad to shape nails like almonds when they are real short cause I did that is it bad ?

[@abetweene]

no its fine

[@pui9857]

Is there a dupe for ORG body peel?

[@abetweene]

I havent found a really good one yet, but ORG peel is currently $14 on amazon

[@ertfgghhhh]

@@abetweene really? Will relook

[@ertfgghhhh]

@@abetweene i understand ors is a light acid peel. Do u know of another chemical peel?

[@abetweene]

No, ive never used any form of chemical peels. The ORG i wouldn’t really classify as a “peel” but more of a gommage exfoliant.

[@ertfgghhhh]

@@abetweene i do cause a chemical peel uses acid-even natural acids to slough or get rid of skin cells. Its just a weaker version (been researching about them for yrs). I think it is ingenious of u to use an acid peel to take off cuticles. Im gonna switch from using traditional cuticle removers that use NaOH or KOH (they dont always work that well). They do, however, have alphahydroxy acid(acid peel) cuticle removers now.

[@KweenPhotos]

🤯🤯

[@alphafish4756]

My nails have naturally different shapes from each other ....

[@sandrastreifel6452]

alpha fish: You need to pick a shape, and stick to it. Having all your nails oval, for example, will look more finished. Are the majority of your nails one shape? Most peoples’ hands do have different nail beds, my thumb is square and others oval, for example. I have them all oval, right now, but rounded square, or tapered square, for longer nails, are nice too.

[@Julia-qc8tv]

why are my nails so wide 🤔
