Hey girl can you teach me how to do nails can you please send me your email or your Instagram please I love you video

[@tjebrown517BEAST]

I'm tired of paying and they aren't perfect. Ready to do my own....I'm so encouraged! Thank you!

[@highvalue1195]

Me too

[@shevettesparks7632]

You will love it

[@vinachetri7969]

Yes, they tend to over file the sides and don’t want to take the time to fill them back up again.

[@jacquelynburiak9749]

That is why I taught myself to do my own! I’m very very good at it too!! Anyone who really wants to do it if you put the time and effort in you can become good too! One thing I need to say though definitely don’t buy cheap products or a cheap brush because it will make you quit.

[@shannicestephens795]

Me too. Prices are ridiculous.

[@rmontoya888]

Been doing my own nails 27 years. The products you can get now are so wonderful from the ones I started with. I still watch tutorials because you can always learn more. I taught my daughters and she’s always done her own too! We get asked all the time where go to get our nails done!

[@bear.hugsubzz]

that’s amazing!🥰✨

[@doseofintuitionthereignofi7162]

Hey Ladies, I used to watch pros and think “I COULD NEVERRRR” !!! Well…. I just started doing my nails this summer and people are complimenting and asking where I get my nails done, so You Can Do It!!! I personally watched and STILL watch video’s like 🥰🙏🏽”THESE”🙏🏽 🥰 before I actually started for tips and tricks. 😉👍🏽

[@MakelesiNai-hv4cy]

that gives me hope

[@elizabethlewis1902]

Just starting to do my own, have always gone to salons, money is tight wanted to learn to do my own nervous but watching you is encouraging I can do it.

[@bkgang8909]

Thank goodness I found your channel! I’m starting off as self taught and this was so helpful.

[@sb2279]

I love this video. I'm a mom, I don't have the money to constantly get my nails done every week nor do I have the ability to constantly leave my kids with a sitter to go get them done. It would be better for me to do my nails myself. And this gives me a foundation to start!

[@ioanna_vsl]

Every week? Nail extensions need to be filled once every 4 weeks

[@UrbanGlitzNailz]

Please find another nail tech who will atleast teach you the PROPER way to apply acrylic as this is shameful the allergies you could end up with because the product is touching the skin! This is exactly why the nail industry is highly regulated and you should be taught how to apply to avoid allergies and learn anatomy of the nails and skin.

[@elizabethlindor9512]

Not every week, but i get what you mean. I'm the same way. Tired of them getting it wrong and me coming out of pocket $100.

[@toshajohnson4838]

I'm 3 weeks in doing my own and I must say, the first round was horrible. But I'm getting better each round. And saving money

[@ayukobenakemkiszle2167]

Thanks a lot for this video. This is the first time I’m seeing a detail video on acrylic nails like this. Thanks again girl.

[@doseofintuitionthereignofi7162]

I appreciate your doing BOTH hands in this. First time I’ve ever seen somebody do all ten! 🙏🏽🥰👍🏽

[@marquitashiver6141]

Right! I understand why a lot of them do one hand but deep down it bugs me lol

[@traceybunches717]

I used to watch you a couple of years ago when I first started nails. Love your videos. Nice to see you back ❤️

[@mrskendrabanks]

Glad you are still here! I truly missed this channel 😊❤️💅🏼

I did my nails following your video. I'm am so disappointed I didn't find you earlier. You're such a great teacher and made everything so much more understandable. Thank you for caring enough to share with the rest of us.❤😘

[@traceymartin485]

You made me!! Girl I have been practicing for months just couldn’t get it . I watched your videos tonight and I did my acrylic nails perfect on my manican hand. Ty so much . Nails are so therapeutic I literally almost gave up today and went to a sal on to get my nails done then bedazzle them at home. But thanks to you I did it !!! Ty ans I love your music and god bless watching all your videos you rock

[@saintsms1697]

Am so glad I found your videos I just started getting nails done again its really changed the nail techs do a rush job and still want a tip I have acrylic stuck under my nail

[@taylor9246]

Thank you so much for this video!! I love having my nails done, but hate the salon. I had been looking for nail tutorials, but most of them spend half of the time selling products, and breeze over the important parts. I appreciate how slow you’re going, really explaining the steps, and doing them on yourself instead of a model. I’m so excited to try this myself, I did the Kiss set but it was a disaster lol. I’m going to try again after watching this.

[@cnn641]

This is my favorite tutorial so far! Thank you for this! Most others focus a lot on prep and putting the tips on (the part I have down) then fly through the lay (the part I’m struggling with). However you showed taking your time putting the acrylic on each nail. The shape and length you chose also are my go-to so that helped even more Love this!

[@butterflyvibes7383]

Hi, I do my own manicures, but I was thinking about doing acrylic nails so I came across this video and it really helped me make a decision. Thanks for sharing this video!

[@angiesmith8697]

Hey I LOVE this video! U r da bomb diggity! I too used a Kiss kit for my first set but I was so stupid I didn't realize they were "tips" and covered my whole nail. Well they didn't stay on as I peeled em off n then went n bought 2 more of the Kiss kits with 64 nails or so.... I still have one, I am thinking once I practice on the hand I just bought, that I would video n upload here (tho I need to learn how n if not I'm ok with that too) but bc of nail techs like u sweetie, ppl like me are able to self teach and I am sooo thankful so thank u.... from the bottom of my heart! I have found doing nail art n acrylic nails to b my thing, goto thing that takes my mind off everything else n I love it. Noooo I'm not close to perfect yet but think now I got this hand ill get better soon. After I finish moving, I hate moving! I bought the lil magnetic stands to practice nail art n make press ons for when I'm in a hurry bc acrylics right now takes me waaay longer than u pros but thinking watching u all, and ur inspiration n love, ill get there or close, soon! Thanks for these videos n sharing ur time with us! Lots of love! And I'm a lefty! So it seems harder for me bc most of these techs are right handed! My biggest issues now is shaping! I need lessons on that! Huggies for giving us ur time to help us! I want to eventually give myself the look I got at the salon. Before I got my small porta drill I had a nail stuck on and it was painful so I went to the salon I use to goto to have them help me remove it. They asked who did this n I said me! Lol! They said I been doing nails for 20 years n never did my own don't do that! I just laughed inside and was half tempted to tell em to get on KZbin but I behaved! However if I knew they would remove like they did, I'd just kept working at it. They took a nail tip, put under the acrylic n tried to pull it off. It hurt worse than already! I won't go there ever again!

[@tracymendoza834]

I am watching to get the wisdom to start doing my own nails. You are an amazing teacher & I'll be watching all your videos again to build up my nerve. I was wondering if you do any video's on extension gel? They look the easiest for me to try at home. Thankyou for the video's they are a HUGE inspiration me to give it a go.

[@Jjcj2]

You helped me a lot. I really wanted to learn to do acrylic nails for myself and my daughter. Of all the videos I have watched, yours helped me the most. Thank you for being so cleat and inspiring.

[@benettanorthern9586]

This is detailed…been watching nail tutorials for a while but I am saving this one. Most do not expound on using (how to/the importance of) dehydrator and primer…. Thanx❤

[@aridelisbido3094]

Im not even done with this video and already love it! You got a new follower. Great details and easy to follo! I got tired of giving my money to these nail salons and having my nails lift every time. Hell no, doing my own from now on. Thank you!

[@charlenehenry6993]

love the video very detailed... I will be doing my nails again this weekend..

[@natihaze1]

[@applerokka]

I'm so glad to have found this... I have the same problem, with biting my nails, and is the reason why I hope I can learn so much here and do my own at home, so I can stop nail and cuticle biting. I'm glad I'm not alone with this problem... Thank you so much for posting and sharing

[@blessedfamily5371]

Same here! 🌍💞💞Her wayyyy of teaching is amazing!

[@pennychaffin2670]

Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@kekew1989]

I loved this……it felt like a sister to sister teaching moments and thank you putting is on

[@upfrontnhonestreviews8229]

Thank you for your video. I just started about a month and a half ago trying to learn how to do my nails. At first, it was therapeutic. I didn't care how long it took me to finish them. Now, when I mess up I get really frustrated. Just when I got a good drill and drill bit set, I discovered while doing this fill, that I have to treat my nails. I haven't had this problem in a LONG time. I had to remove most of the full set from a new shop that I tried. I know that I need to get better at fills but I am wondering if their powder played a part. I know that the powder isn't supposed to turn a light yellow. I make nail videos too, and find myself saying the same things you said in this video, especially that your drill helps fix a lot. Honestly, I'm at the point where I'm thinking about getting my fills and full sets done at the shop again, and putting my charms on myself, but after seeing your video, I'll keep trying. Thanks again for the inspiration.

[@kathie687]

I just bought the Kiss Acrylic nail kit. I have never done my own nails before. It is getting too expensive to go to the nail salon every two weeks. I'm a little scared to do my own because I don't know how. I'm carefully watching different videos for beginners. I came across this video. I like that you are encouraging and say you can do it. You are helpful and I will enjoy watching more of your videos. Thank you for putting this out.

[@tabbytheleo13]

I learned how to do my own nails in acrylic with dual forms. It helps you get the shape and apex down. You can use acrylic with dual forms! I then went on to free hand my acrylic. Your videos helped me a whole lot! Thank you. 👍

[@luvbuglady]

Thank you so much for this video!! You did a really great job explaining things, very informative! I'm about to start doing my own nails, and am watching as many videos as I can, yours is the best overall!!

[@bellamoments5908]

It may look easy. But its pretty challenging. Those rude comments on your first vid wasn't right at all. You go girl..your nails look perfect to me!

[@ashleyfrazier5635]

I can honestly say I'm happy I came across your pages because I'm a beginner and looking for techniques and this was very helpful. I literally went out yesterday and got the kiss set from target it was only 9.00. I have everything else already such as drill, nail light etc. I appreciate this video because you did everything step by step and was easy to follow

[@jennifersilver9000]

I'm a beginner doing my own.nails. Thanks for the video.

[@shareen9786]

I’ve been doing my own nails for about a year now and I love it! I watch videos to pick up tips others may have to offer. It takes time and patience to do your own nails but it’s possible #wedoourownnails❤️

[@sara4572]

Thank you . I'm a momma of 2 and I'm embarrassed to say I always bit my nails so I put on nail tips but they were popping off left and right. I also wanted a natural look. I was scared of acrylic thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a kind easy way. Thank you

I really wanna start doing nails and I will soon but these videos have really helped me so thank you

[@lauralalaflora7941]

I love your video! You’re so encouraging! I felt intimidated at first and was thinking to myself yeah right there’s no way I can do nice nails myself!……. But watching your video and listening to your tips n little tricks gave me more confidence so now I’m excited to try and see how I do! Thanks for making this video! You’re awesome!!

[@anneriejansevanrensburg5671]

You are so talented! 🎉

[@bean.r6862]

Well this is my first time watching. Just looking at how to do it. And what acrylic nails are. I just brought the fake nails and just stick them on, BUT I don't have the powder thing you have. So that interesting to watch. I might actually now go buy that and try that out after watching you. I unfortunately have psoriasis nails, so they are bad, so thats why I do it myself. Thanks for the information darl

[@ladyk7317]

Yes 2024 I refuse to continue to pay over 100$ for nails and feet that I'm not happy with.... January I order my drill my uv light and all the files came with it , I got my gel polishes and I love my Mani pedi it's perfect next I'll be ordering the acrylic for a overlay with the acrylic prep and mono with the brushes and glass dip , thank you for a great tutorial... nothing is better than me doing ME 💪🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💋 I even gave myself a nice tequila tip 😂

THANK YOU!!!!! I love this!!!!!! I just got some stuff to start doing my own nails. I really like how you didn't hate on the Kiss set. I bought a couple dip kits, but really want to do the monomer and didn't want to spend a fortune. A lot of the tutorials don't show you step by step, and some don't even talk about the importance of the dehydrator and primer!!! well, I'm off to binge the rest of your vids. Hopefully someday mine will look like yours 🤩❤️

[@keked3796]

I’m going to start so I’ve been watching different videos for inspiration.

Love this! I am wanting to do my own nails to save money! I naturally have thin soft nails! Never pretty or with any length! My natural mail would not hold nail polish! Has always been frustrating! Always thought I had ugly hands until I started having dipped nails applied! I think I can do this! I will miss my salon people! But this will be good for me! Thank you for all the info! Great job!!

[@korrinarobinson1805]

I am so glad i came across this video! I have been using dip and gelly tips for about 6 months now, but one time I soaked in acetone too long for removal and I thought I had contact dermatitis, but I didn’t, but it scared the crap out of me! My nails are short and I love having them a little longer, so I was hoping to find an alternative to gel products and then I came across your video! I subscribed right away!

[@selenanieto4953]

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for actually making this video, you explain it so well and your visuals are so good. Other videos either have another client to show how they make the nails and it is hard to see where you need to put your hands when doing it by yourself. Also, I am done with nail salons like you are! They are sometimes uneven and other times they CUT my finger. It hurts 😂😭

[@dreamydesignsbyalia]

Thank you for this motivation

[@LADYREDD1120]

I'm nervous about doing nails. I practice but really need to practice more. This is a passion I'm trying to bring to life.

[@deniseclose566]

I can not get my nails to grow. I have had acrylic nails before, but I do not have the time or money to go to a nail salon. Thank you so much for your video. It was very helpful. I have all the supplies, and now I'm ready to give it a try. You are amazing.

[@savannahhart6021]

I am just now getting into wanting to do my own nail.

[@user-ly7ty8jz2o]

Can we use nail polish remover instead of a dehydrator to prep nails? Thanks 💖

[@LinaLina-wn4dp]

Some instructors say that nail polish remover does not get all of the oils off of your natural nails and recommend you using the dehydrator (some people use alcohol).

[@dezerismith7529]
