Doing My Own Nails! | Chit Chat Q&A | KoKo and Claire Gel Polish & Loose Glitter! | (2020)

[@barbarapeck1882]

I love this "get mani with me" style video. You always share wonderful ideas and there are always take aways for me and business. Thank you so much for all that you do for our community. I just love you, Steve, the girls, and the kittens

[@brittney3165]

I found so many of your organization tips so helpful, even when it's not for my nail stuff! you're one of the first stops i make when i'm like "i don't like how cluttered/messy X is."

[@TaliasNailStudio]

Awe I appreciate that hun! Thank you! I was thinking of doing more home organization ideas too

[@lauriemrsnash]

Loved this style of video! I totally know what you mean about 'old style' KZbin make up videos. Love how your nails turned out, too! ❤️

[@danafogle9102]

I am so glad to hear how long it takes you to do a full set of nails. Because people love what I do with my own nails, and they always ask me to do their nails, but I usually say no because of how long it takes me. I usually do a different design on each nail and it takes me about 5 hours to do them. Since I not a trained nail tech I thought that was way to long, so you made me so much better about myself. Thank you😁

[@TaliasNailStudio]

Dana Fogle for sure. Everyone is different and especially not working full time I have slowed down a lot too ha ha

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Thanks Talia! Love these chatty videos 😆👏🏻 and the nails are gorgeous!

[@kaygerritsen-blaney9120]

I totally agree, working from home is brilliant. I’m a dog groomer and started my business when my youngest child was 18mth old. I could arrange work hours around school pick ups and school holidays. 16 years on and still going strong, starting my business was the best move ever.

[@tamishiga-price5233]

I loved this type of video, and seeing all your past studios made me realize how long I’ve actually been watching you, from before you and Steve even got married. So proud of how successful you have become with all your hard work!! Nothing is better then working for yourself!! Thank you for answering my question and I feel the same way, hopefully things are getting better. Take care 💞

[@lisakharabadzhu9697]

I love your videos! Any video you do is just so relaxing to watch. Thank you for taking so much time on perfecting these videos 🥰

[@GlamorousNails23sf]

This was such a great video. Honestly as a mom of two I always feel like there’s not enough time in the days. You’re such a big inspiration to me!

[@daniellefgeer9153]

Absolutely loved this video! You are so giving of your time and expertise.

[@karinamhennessy9010]

Love the nails and colour combo. I traveled the Greek islands with an Italian family in my youth on their private boat. I had a whale of a time, loved it. You should also include Ireland on your travel list. So much history, scenery and also at the Irish pace so also relaxing 😁😂

[@samanthamann7001]

Hellooo from down under and fellow nail tech , been following you for a long time now just wanted to say your videos are always so in formative and fun! What a absolutely great idea on the sponge with acetone on it for your scraper !!!!!🙌🏻 I just adore stamping as I have gotten older my hands are not as steady hahah so stamping is wonderful ! Stay safe !

[@TaliasNailStudio]

Stamping is great! I’m so glad it helped you 🥰

[@kristinebaker5477]

You paired up with my favorite color purple and the different shades are beautiful 💅💙💜

[@just4unailsleduc]

You have me hooked on KoKo & Claire I actually just ordered two of those purples yesterday along with the new glows by Fuzion. I can’t wait to get them. Loved this video and I hope you know I was just being selfish why my second question. Lol. I just love your videos with your mom I rewatch a lot of them. I would love to see you do your left hand if your comfortable doing that. Thanks for another amazing video 💜💜💜

[@ruthgarcia7851]

Hi Talía , I love your videos and I have to confess that You’re leader and my inspiration to take my nail tech . Thank you because I learned so much from you even though I’m very bad on organized my staff..

Super lovely set 💜✨

[@juliejewels3945]

The sponge is such a great idea.

[@lindat1879]

Really enjoyed this style of video 👍😃. Pretty colours.

[@geirvageng982]

Loved this type of video, and the length was perfect 👌 I’m glad you’re more at ease with the whole COVID-19 situation- I think it’s pretty bizarre that such a situation has in a way brought all of us closer- seeing as we all over the world struggled with the same issues, from fear, to social distancing to no tp😂 I’m glad you’re dealing with the situation and that you’re not afraid of showing emotions and telling us of your struggles. I’m pretty sure we have all felt them too.❤️ I was the one who asked the question about your fav place to travel. Greece is absolutely amazing, the culture the people and the whole experience is wonderful. It’s been a few years since I was there last, but it’s def on my travel bucket list when all this is said and done( the virus situation I mean) this year we’re going to the north of Norway- with probably half of the population 🤣😂 to visit family. If ever you would consider Norway as a destination I can 100% say that Lofoten is the place to go. Gorgeous nature and midnight 🌞 sun. My best vacation evvvvver was all inclusive in Mexico. Wow what a place- we only stayed for one week, but we tried to book a second week while there😁 but it was of course full. Puerto Vallarta was the most relaxing week of our lifes❤️❤️ btw- if you have trouble with pronouncing my name- it’s Siw as a sieve- only with less 🕳 holes in it😁😂😅aaanyways thanks for answering our q’s and I love the kittens poking their heads out, just like at our house🙏🏼🤣

[@jenniferkraushaar3452]

Thank you for answering! Love this type of vid 💖

[@janellemcm22]

I just love that purple!😍💜you did a fantastic job🤩

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

Really like this set!!!!

[@TaliasNailStudio]

Thanks my friend 😊

[@YourGirlVee]

I enjoyed this video and I hope to see more. I appreciate you opening up about how Covid affected you personally. It was very relatable. I have a question (and feel free to refer me to a video if this has already been answered) How long did it take for you to get comfortable doing gel nail enhancements? How much practice did you put in (let’s say weekly) to get to that point? Thank you for sharing Talia!

[@MissEricaPetty]

I would love if you did a review of the Le mini macaron LED lamp. I know it’s a very beginner kit, and I’m skeptical about the “1-step” gel polish. But I’m mostly curious what you think of the lamp itself. I mostly use light elegance and Luminary (my new favorite!). But I’m a new-ish nail tech with a day job so I’m wondering if the lamp would be good enough to cure luminary at my desk or while traveling.

[@deniselehmann2428]

Love those colors!

[@cathytarapacz]

I believed every word u said, u are a very helpful and kind person

[@GlamTones]

Love this set and the chit chat!

[@Thecrazycoffeequeen]

I love the nails that color combo is fire!!! love..

[@BelsGels]

HI Talia, I hope you are having a nice day. Can you please tell me, with the STRONG product how do you remove this? Sorry if you have answered this in the video but I am stealth watching it whilst at my office job, lol.

[@TaliasNailStudio]

I have a video up. The last one of doing my own nails, goes over it. Mainly I soak and file but you can do either

[@BelsGels]

@@TaliasNailStudio thanks Talia I will suss it out. x

[@cathysmith2451]

Hello my Friend!! Great advice and beautiful mani! Kittens are so adorable and cuddly. I have three fur babies sammy, max and punky (he's the youngest). Since I got home from the hospital they don't leave my side. Great video my Friend and thank you for sharing ❤💋~CathySmith

[@MyNailsandMorebyJohna]

beautiful set and great talk

[@glitterhiwithkare9156]

I love the sponge tip!! I definitely will use this tip! Do u reuse the sponge? If so, how do you clean it?

[@TaliasNailStudio]

I just gets covered in acetone so I don’t clean them. I mainly use them for filming so when it gets super full I just throw it out. I bet you could clean them with acetone though. They’re pretty sturdy sponges too

[@elizabethsmithakaelizabeth3332]

Sponge with acetone for the scrapper!! I get that polish all over me! And my hand!

[@TaliasNailStudio]

Right?? Especially black, it’s like drawn to skin 😂

[@milliedk]

Love this set and any video you put out actually 😁👌 You are sooo like me in so many ways, I chuckle when I heard you said "I love THINGS, but they need to be in a place", I say that all the time 🤣 and yes this is momlife. I have my clinic at home (I'm a podiatrist too), but I would prefer to work in a place with people around me, or perhaps for 2-3 days a week... Anyway, take care 🌹Marlene

[@CleoGravel]

I love this type of video thank you for sharing

[@TaliasNailStudio]

Thanks so much for watching sherry 😊

[@crystalwynne3889]

This video was so fantastic. How do you think the strong product compares to Luminary?

[@TaliasNailStudio]

I find luminary to be super strong. Like it feels stronger and more attached to your nail I guess, almost reminds me of acrylic. Which is great for those who want to wear a mani longer but I find it harder to remove than the strong. Both are great options 😊

[@crystalwynne3889]

@@TaliasNailStudio thanks for the info! I have terrible natural nails. If I get any amount of growth, they'll rip at the free edge right into the nail bed and it hurts. I've been using luminary in clarity and I really like it.

[@liveandletlive7152]

I see you managed to get out of the turquoise craze😂 I know purple was another love too. You should come to Seychelles. You can laze on the beach all day and feed on our delicious creole food. It's mouthwatering good. Geez I am such an ambassador 😂

[@chanellvekasi4167]

Go to Australia! It’s my favourite place to travel to. My husband and I had planned to take our kids on their first trip there this Christmas to spend Christmas with a friend and her family but sadly Covid has changed that plan.

[@christiangyrl3]

Great video. Pls do more of these videos. Question?? As a D.I.Y(er)there are some products you use that are not available to me because I'm not licensed. Are there some products you recommend that are just as good as others?

[@TaliasNailStudio]

The only non-professional brand I use is KOKO AND Claire and it’s because it’s created with the health of the natural nail in mind 😊

[@christiangyrl3]

[@reillypaul9259]

Love the video and the set !

[@TaliasNailStudio]

Thanks so much :)

[@kaj6703]

Talia, my daughter has tried so many products and different styles for her nails, which are super thin and weak. Everything lifts, even after a week and a half. Do you have any suggestions?

[@KayleeJayde14]

Love koko and Claire.... however mine always start to peel after a couple of days. Any tips? I spent good money on my kit and would like to use it!

[@TaliasNailStudio]

The “base” product is designed to do that. Is that was you’re using,

[@rosekay1083]

Sorry if you’ve already mentioned this, but where did you get that sticky sheet pad you use to clean the stamper? I’m tired of using scotch tape lol.

[@TaliasNailStudio]

Clear jelly stamper 😊😊

[@amandajarvis7231]

Yasss come to Australia! 😍

[@alissagrett7145]

I'm sure you get asked all the time but I just found your channel. I was looking into doing stamping and would you recommend using the brand you do or getting a set on Amazon? Do you also have to use stamping polish?

[@TaliasNailStudio]

I have multiple videos up talking about why I use cjs. I’ve been stamping for 10 years and have tried many brands. Check out my all about stamping polish video for more tips 😊

[@alissagrett7145]

@@TaliasNailStudio thank you!

[@rawreen]

Is the Strong product similar to Jimmy Gel?

[@christinabartine5514]

If you use the strong as the base coat, are you able to soak it off with acetone?

[@TaliasNailStudio]

Yep

[@nelidasotelo3067]

So pretty

[@Linaraynecreations]

I’ve been using the Base method on my mom but I’d like to try this Strong build up method next time, do you have to cure it longer when you make it thicker? I had some wrinkling with the polish if applied too thick.

[@TaliasNailStudio]

No you don’t cure it longer, just the regular times it calls for. It’s clear so the lights penetrate through it. You’ll get wrinkling with colors applied to thick because the lights can’t penetrate through it

[@Linaraynecreations]

Talia's Nail Tales good to know thanks 😊 can’t wait to try it

[@Leoscorpio29]

Thank you. That’s good information

[@gabzylishus]

Talia come to Australia you can stay at my house and our kids can play together!!! 😁😁 would love to meet you!

I loved this style of video. I have been watching you on KZbin since your 1st video on this channel. I may not have kids but covid has been hard on me also. I decided to renovate my home nail studio during covid and I’m still working on it.. it’s my happy place and the fact that I can’t be in my nail room and my nail supplies are everywhere in my house is driving me nuts.. Question: Where or how do you get inspiration for nail designs with your clients or your self?
