Will you add your TikTok short here as KZbin shorts for those of us who don’t use that platform. We need more of YOU 🤩

[@buddyholly4672]

Almond shaped nails are the best! Thet make hands look so long and dainty. These are beautiful!

[@ninafrank8108]

RARJSM! My favorite! I love these nails. You make using the jelly thing for French Tips and the skinny brush look so easy. Even cleaning up the overflow looked easy! I start and finish mine in a couple hours, and I’m just removing polish, re-shaping, and putting on gel polish again. I love watching you work. I always learn something new. Thank you!!❤️

[@tanyarai3563]

I love your channel so much. Because of you, I save so much money at nail salons! If you had a tiktok channel, I could watch you alllll day (not that I already don’t) 🤗 your nail vids are my happy place!

[@laurentucker5444]

This would be such a good bridal manicure!

[@Amberclayt0n]

Whoa whoa whoa....!!! There's a peel off base coat that you CURE???!!! WOWWWW

[@BrookeLynn-sr6vy]

A salon would never put so much effort in for this. Awesome work! DIY is the way

[@victoriathomas7799]

Your tutorials have been the sole reason i have been able to do my own nails at home. I started with buying the kiara sky kit and your recommended e file tips and have been using the pointers you give in videos along the way. I’ve changed so many things throughout the process to find things that work for me and keep my nails on for 3+ weeks and i can’t thank you enough. You’re concise and tell us why a certain idea might work instead of us just blindly following.

[@tracymendoza6883]

I'm new at doing my nails at home since covid & your videos have been a huge help! Thankyou so very much for doing them for people like me that just want to do them at home & save some money. Your a GREAT teacher! Many Blessings & keep them coming I've learned a ton 😘🥰

[@adrianat81]

Girl, your videos are therapeutic for me. Thank you!

[@ceciwolfcat7]

There you are! I love your hair and those nails!🤩 Girl please do more videos, you are so missed.😭

[@TheBeautyVault]

thank you!! 🥰

[@lleyah_fw]

I adore this look so much! Plus the pearlized polish is such a dreamy look. Love the ideas you share with us!

[@TheBeautyVault]

thank you!! 🥰

[@sarahbochnak6951]

Okay seriously I love your videos! You taught me how to do nails and now I do them for my entire family. And you teach me new techniques every time! Thank you times a million!

[@normaspencer5593]

I love the 80’s movie score music! And I live your content.

[@calamityjane5484]

Everything about these nails is insanely beautiful 🥰 if I had this set I'd want to keep it on for as long as possible! Could you show us in a future video how to remove these nails if you're not using the peel off base coat? Thanks 🙏

[@devonanderson63]

Perfect timing! I'm going on vacation on Wednesday and I was looking for inspo before my nail appointment😊. It's like you read my mind🥰

[@TheBeautyVault]

love to hear it!! 🥰

[@BeyondPolish]

Love this tutorial. You made everything so easy to DIY at home. Love how your mani turned out. Thank you for all your love and support. ♥

[@bluedollar5423]

I love them with and without the pearl pieces. These are very pretty and dainty. That's my jam!

[@youngsterxox07]

These nails, the shape, the length with just funny bunny are my fav everrrrr 😍

[@katc9079]

I love love love the pearl nail polish!! Im loving the new Gel X nails videos since I recently started doing them at home!! You are at a whole other level good though!! Loving all the new nails ideas. Love it alll !

[@isabellagraves5589]

Okay you know when I need you the most 🥺♥️

[@cheyannemorris-davidson5245]

Love this! I’ve started doing my nails at home because of you and it’s like I have a brand new hobby and passion that saves moneyy what’s not to love! When using glue or builder gel to apply tips, which one do you think lasts longer overall? Thanks so much for your videos!!

[@michellelablue7]

Would love to know what she thinks also 🤔

[@sissimonster]

I started doing my nails at home because of you too! I love the videos and how detailed your explanations are. BTW how do you use your cuticle nippers without cutting too much and getting an owie? 💗

[@soph8218]

would also like to know this

[@soph8218]

@@sissimonster this too! I tend to struggle with cuticle care, I almost always get an ouchie :(

[@annamariasimon1437]

Szia nagyon szép lett körmöd.

[@Lovemesomepink36]

Girl I love your videos! Just so satisfying to watch. Can you please do a video of just a gel manicure? I have a hard time finding products that last on my regular nail and natural looking. Thank you ♥️

[@barbaraisbarbie]

Girl you totally learned all the skills super dope.

[@weegizmi1]

"What in the fresh hell...." so funny. Love this xx

[@lisaharrod8386]

Gorgeous, iridescent set...cool and modern. The bonder tip for cuticles...genius!! Thanks for sharing...more it's please!

[@Persephoneo0]

They look super cute 😍 Yes if you just top coat them and all of them seem to do it including the expense ones but because they aren't gems you can top coat them with zero issues

[@Markeda005]

This nail set was absolutely beautiful. I think in was my favorite. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@heidirosario950]

I'm new to your channel and in just this one video... you've answered all my questions!! The primer on top of the tip by cuticle... genius!! Thank you!

[@darkeyedfran]

Yyyyesssss!!!!! Okay you NEED to try West Coast Dips. They have amazing builder gels in like 60 colors. And bio sea weed gel. Both are Canadian

[@michellelablue7]

Wht the heck is bio sea weed gel tho 🤔

[@darkeyedfran]

@@michellelablue7 I’m not an affiliate for them just FYI but they’re a gel brand that’s free of the top 5 major allergens. They’re super nice! West coast dips is also free of a ton of allergens including HEMA. They’re both pricey but they’re awesome especially if you’re Canadian because they’re Canada based. Bio sea weed gel has a base in the US too and their stuff ships freaky fast.

[@mariegoede3295]

Love all your instructions, tips, and how to do nails. It helped me out tremendously yesterday when I did gels for the first time. THANK you so much.

[@tiffanyt.t.w.8285]

I was just looking for an upload from you yesterday, it must be ESP! 🤣🤣🤣 I love this look and I have just about the same colors as you do from madam glam in the pearl finish. I. Love them. If you put a nude underneath the gel, it will make the gel about the same color of the top of gel swatch

[@shayhocut]

Hi! Could you show us a video of Gel x application on your non-dominant hand? It will help to see some of your tricks or tips.

[@Cashious]

This random but I LOVE the background music 😆 Lovely nails as usual ✨ Great video. I can’t get the hang of gel x method without feeling like it would have been easier to just use forms which is my preferred method.

[@Cashious]

Also brilliant use of the jelly stamper for French tip. I’ll have try that!

[@gigigigi1159]

Dang!! You make everything look so easy....gorgeous

[@christyb5575]

Soooo perfect! Omg I loved how your nails came out😍

[@bassmom434]

I love that your jelly pad is foggy/blurry. I watch tons of stamp videos and they are always crystal clear. Mine is foggy like yours and I literally have a new on coming in this week because I thought I ruined mine. Love your channel. Been subscribed for a bit, but heading over to your IG right now

[@Nightbird_Nails]

Super pretty and have recently done this look. I found by applying a coat of non wipe top coat over the pearls prevents discolouration or peeling. ❤️

[@deyigarcia4540]

Lol, love your explanation on Rarjsm! Love them too

[@marilynmorrison4936]

Excellent I am just now starting to do my own nails at home I will watch all of your videos before I start on my own. I love the almond shape myself but I was blessed with my mum’s beautiful hands but as I age my nails have gone from super strong to thin and peeling I have been using glue on nails for 10 years and I am a pro! I hope you check for questions from beginners like myself. Thank you so much!

[@cck6740]

The una gella medium coffin nails are amazing.

[@mindysue1802]

I have to say, I love your nail videos and I also love the 80s vibe

[@yasminehmmm6020]

Thank you! I will def be referencing this video a lot.

[@GoldenBeauty33]

Your into is sooo cute ❤️ I love the 80s vibe.

[@bloodlinerock13]

These are sooo pretty! When I saw you posted them on IG I had to know how you got that iridescent shine! I would not have guessed a magical topper, I think I'm gonna need to order those 😍

[@randas9188]

"Which stilll doesnt make a whole lot of sense" LOL cracked me up.

[@cathymumper2126]

So pretty!!! I love all of these looks! They would be great for a wedding.

[@alyssafreeman1692]

Fanzest also has some beautiful toppers, I love the champagne gold. Oh,and I also love their #2 (it's a nude with a gentle gold glitter)

[@dangerine73]

Thx for the tip on melting the cuticle area. It’s a struggle. Will test soon! 💕💕💕🥰🥰

[@crystaldiaz9717]

✨️🤩 Gurrrl, how am I JUST coming across your page!? I loved this video and all your tips ! AND now I wish I knew about that Rarjsm polish sooner because I just got chrome powder today and that looks way easier to apply.

[@sweetangel02]

another banger set as always! 💞 I get so excited every time u post, lol.

[@lolaannwells8309]

I love these nails💕 I'm not a fan of the almond shape but now I want to try. It was worth the wait. Thank you. ❤️

[@TheBeautyVault]

thank you so much!! 🥰

[@PerfumedAndPolished]

Second time watching this video, I love these! Definitely going to order Funny Bunny, I’ve tried other milky white gels but none look as good as this!

[@connectwithyourdeck]

Thank you so much for this video you have really helped me on my nail journey :)

[@AlvzFam2023]

I have the apres gel x nails and their extend gel , my nails pop off literally like 48 hrs later and sometimes even the same day!! I do the exact same thing you do- nail prep, bond/dehydrator and primer , e file to smooth the nail tip at the cuticle line, primer again to melt the tip and nail area, … literally have tried like 10 times 🤧 cannot figure out where it all goes wrongggg

[@double_d_dumbo]

you should also try painted desert! they have a gel tip system as well and are pretty affordable:)

[@jessicaa5189]

Love it!!

[@hersheyannebarba4256]

Rewatching this for the 2nd time.. 💖🥰💖🥰🥰🥰😍

[@daarmonet]

i wish the pearls worked out they looked so cute but i love the finished product !

[@TheBeautyVault]

i know! 😭 and encapsulating them just looked silly and bulky, back on the hunt for better ones. and thank you! 💖

[@skyecampbell2248]

Loved this video! Quick question what grit sanding band did you use to blend the nail tip and your natural nail and was your e-file moving forwards or backwards in motion? Thank you so much in advance ❤️

[@morganjohnson9581]

Loved this look!! It turned out super cute! 💕

[@gw2873]

The only person I have notifications on for! ❤️

[@TheBeautyVault]

🥺💖

[@DufortIsa]

Gaaawhd!! Your nails are perfection, once again. Now I'll give this a go on my shorties, 'cause I break'em at work if they're longer, but hey shorties are okay! The almond shape looks great on my sausage fingers too!

[@mariecas8468]

Yassss I finally made it early 😆 LOVEEEE how the nails came out 😍😍

[@angelineflowers2293]

Thank you for yet another great video! I luv you and your talent! Keep up the good work!💕

Can't wait for your Halloween decor videos to roll up 😍🎃

thank you!!

[@bobbyvincent7733]

I love these videos it always makes my day when I see a new video

[@miabennett6126]

“Rarjsm” 😭😂💀

[@Gelliny]

The peel off base coat works with the gel and it pops right off in warm soapy/oily water? Omg that sounds dreamy, I’ll have to try it

[@mollymccray6648]

Oh my gosh absolutely stunning! I'm thinking on purchasing a Gel X nail kit! do you find the removal process hard? do gel x nails make your nails weak/ brittle?

[@ihaveissuses]

I just realized I wasn't following you on IG. Fixed that now lol. But definitely love those two colors together.

[@alynicrespilho7934]

Love all the options ❣️

[@MsSamanatha]

OMG I like lost you and I've been trying to remember your you tube name for weeks so glad I found you again😃 Just letting you that you tube has been like getting rid of subscriptions not sure if this is happening to everyone but just giving heads up. I've super glued myself here lol

[@nicoleaffeldt5195]

A boring Monday for a stay at home mom and then this gem pops up! 💕💕

[@TheBeautyVault]

happy monday and happy belated mother’s day! 💖

[@CPSMELSER]

First time seeing this video. What is chemically etching ? What product is it ? I have never heard of etching your own nails. Have a blessed day 💞

[@BaileyLondon27]

11:04 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I laughed at this so hard, omg!

[@control_alt_delete4894]

Can you try the lazy girl method?

[@babytruy]

I love all of your tutorials. Question though. If I don’t have a e-file can I use a 180 file instead to sand the nails?

[@taraanthony]

Ok so I dont need the glue? Builder gel works the same way?

[@kajakoszowska4000]

If you want your pearls or stones to be super stable try sticking them with a builder clear base or gel they'd stay much longer :))

[@danesegresch8410]

There’s my beauty! I’ve missed you. This is a great video. I love the look but I think I’ll not use the pearls or sparkles. My favorite look is a French manicure. Thank you for the time that you invest in your work. Hope all is well in your life. Until next time....

[@Lyn_DS]

Hey beautiful! I’ve got a question. My cuticles always bleed when I do it or get it done like you did in the beginning of this video which obviously affects the whole manicure.. do you have a tip for easily-bleeding cuticles? And my nails grow very well & long of their own but they bend so easily! If you would have tips for that as well, greatly appreciated 😌💅🏻

[@lynnbiggs9565]

Just did my first set with the Kiara Sky “all in one and builder gell” love em so much, thank you so much for the instruction video! Can I just ask, what do you dip your clean up brush in to wipe away excess on cuticle area of polish? Or do you use it dry?

[@LashLovesBeauty]

Gorgeous!

[@ik9126]

Amazing tutorial! Thank you! I followed your tutorial and my nails turned out to be really pretty)) My first gel extensions. Of course I messed up lol. I had bubbles on the first 2 nails, but I applied thick gel on top, so hopefully it'd be ok. Do you think they would lift soon? Also it does not feel comfortable and does not look natural to have gel product underneath the nails. I mean there is thick gel material left under the nails after curing the extensions and it's slightly touching the skin of my fingers (my natural nails are short). Is it normal? It looks like build up product underneath the nails( Overall, the nails are still too long (I ordered extra short almond) and the color of the nails was not smooth after applying extensions (because of bubbles and some discoloration, dunno why), so I had to apply 3 coats of milky white gel nail polish to conceal all of that. I like my nails, but I think they don't look like natural long nails, because of thickness (many coats of gel), build up product underneath the nails, the length is too long and the cuticle area is not ideal (I attached the extensions too close to the cuticle area so it was hard to file (( ). Anyway, they still look almost like from the saloon and I'm so happy and thankful! Happy holidays!

[@renosmom1]

can you do the gel dip method on these tips instead of gel polish?

[@BaileyLondon27]

Yes ❤

[@lillianbriannathrasher3661]

Are you using acetone to clean up the French tip on the nail?

[@LoneRodeoJones]

I still am in awe that i found your channel after almost like 10 years 😅😅

[@TheBeautyVault]

✨fate✨

[@frogs9468]

love!

[@itsmetina1178]

Hey! Love your videos. 2 questions. Where did you find your little flash cure light? I’m getting peeling when I use gel polish on my natural nails. I clean my nails with alcohol and use a base coat. Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?

[@sara341426]

I’m so new to doing my own nails but I recently bought Orly builder in a bottle, would I be able to use these nail tips the same way you did with just the builder underneath?

[@babygirl655]

I want to try to do my own gel x. With the peel off base do they still last like a week? I wonder if I should do them for the first time with peel off base just in case they don’t look good. 😅

[@TheBeautyVault]

gel x is super beginner friendly and they can last up to 2 weeks with the peel off base. you got this!
