Hi Isabel. This is the first time I’ve seen your channel and now I’m hooked! Your work is amazing and tutorials really helpful. I found you because I wanted to see reviews on Apres Gel extensions system. I think I will now invest thanks to your videos 👍🏼

I usually take the bottom plate off of my lamp and put it in the edge of the table and cure it that way. Helps with the extra hand problem.

i’m 12 too and i’m learning how to do acrylic and other nails. if you want nails like this just buy this tips on aliexpress. they are the same. then buy some clear gel ( it doesn’t have to be in the bottle). oh and you must have electric file to file that nail tip so you can have them on for longer time. it’s not that expensive and it’s the same quality.👍🏻🙃❤️

There is a lamp that you can attach to your table that hangs like a light, and has a foot control to turn it off and on which helps a lot. Another thing I saw on Apres is they tape the light on the box by the cord, overhanging very easy . Also you can use primer to prep the under side, much easier. Good job though.

tmcdgreen I used to prop my light with a book and angle it out. I’m surprised so many people didn’t think to rig the light up in some way so they have both hands available. It’s a simple fix. I just bought a lamp with a removable bottom and sensors that turn on when you put your hand under and I turn it on it’s side and that works even better!

A friend of mine does this for her nails and hers last 3 weeks. Every week she just goes in with a gel top coat and does a layer over the entire nail to fill in any growth around her cuticle area and that seems to work for her. I am still waiting on my stuff to come in the mail to try it. But that is just what she does, so I wanted to comment and give you a suggestion.
