EASY DIY GEL NAIL USING BEETLES GEL NAIL STARTER KIT | Trying New Things

Hi!! It’s Belinda Yan and welcome back to my channel! I’m going to teach you how to DIY gel nails at home (make yourself feeling cute again 💅). The US isn’t looking so hot in terms of coronavirus cases. California’s reopening plan has taken a step back in some counties. We really don’t know when nail salons will be open for business. I wanted to still have cute nails so I decided to take matters into my own hands. And NOW I’m about to show you how you can too!

Omg girl, your natural nails are literally perfect! Love the color! Keep up the great work darling! 😘💅

[@belindayan1930]

Thanks girl!!! (:

[@mackiepimo-jwjones3019]

Your natural nails are amazing

[@marykathrynbranche9143]

Love this thank you!!! Love Beetles!❤️❤️

[@martinaba3194]

hii,i loved the video.I would definitely recomend you to move away the gel polish bottle while curing the nails because the uv light will damage the formula of the polishes

[@belindayan1930]

That is a fantastic point! Thank you for letting me know :)

[@lisabrum4000]

i just grabbed this kit off amazon with a bunch of beautiful colors! I cant wait to try it out (:

[@myboys1213]

Me too 😂 I got it today and I'm watching tutorials.

[@sobiaahmad2515]

Hi, so how was the kit? I'm about to get the lamp and wondering how long does it takes to cure the gel polish with thia lamp? Thank you

[@fbiagentfrank]

​@@sobiaahmad2515I have it and cure the base and top for 120 seconds and the color for 90 seconds. The package says 60-90 secs for color and 90-120 for base and top. I do the max because I've been burned by undercured gel more than once with my old cheap lamp.

[@Corey21207]

Enjoyed your demonstration! Your tips are helpful. Thank you.

[@Emhing]

Beautiful hands and nails.

[@killermitten11]

I love it! 10/10 will try next time I do my nails

[@CCANTU1229]

Thank you for this vid!! Do you think they made your nails stronger??

[@jennid23]

Thank you for this thorough review! Your nails look so professional! 😍 I'm thinking about buying this, how long did they last?

[@belindayan1930]

They last about 2 weeks :)

[@sonalsoni7578]

Hi,my nail gel polish is coming off or chipped next day. I used the same company as yours

[@hopeking37]

What sticky residue ?

[@Rtina21]

I found u on my recommended 🙂 I subscribed, excited to see more 😘

[@jessicajimenez6051]

Do you file your nails first

[@nicolerigano8965]

Quick question for anyone with an answer... My base coat is not curing as well as I'd hoped. I've put my nails under the Beetles UV LED light numerous times but nails still feel a bit tacky, this is before putting color on. I've moved the light so I'm able to plug it in directly to the wall outlet...any thoughts? Wish me luck!

[@belindayan1930]

Hi Nicole! It’s ok that the base coat is a little tacky. Just cure 2-3 times and then go ahead and add the color. The first coat may look weird, but once you add the second coat of color it should look much better

[@nicolerigano8965]

@@belindayan1930 Thanks for your reply! New question: because the fel didn't provide the strength I'd hoped for, I thought I'd try a layer of clear dip as a base. Funny thing...2 days later I got home from work, looked at my hands, and found 2 of the 10 nails were stripped bare. Kinda strange I thought. What do you think? (I'm still sporting 8 nails plus 2 bare.)

[@nicolerigano8965]

The gel!

[@belindayan1930]

I think I had a similar thought so I’ve tried putting on a few extra coats which has worked. It just takes longer. Weird that they completely fell off! Did you use a base coat? It might also be helpful to buff your nail beds just a tiny bit to create a better bonding surface for the gel

[@activeaxolotl]

Do you still use this😅 I’ve been debating if I should get it

[@belindayan1930]

I have not been using this because I had to take a break from nail polish and let my natural nails breathe for a bit. When I get back into it I would want to get more colors

[@IAMGONE2DOGS]

My nails seem to be still tacky and I left in the light 90 seconds any suggestions?

[@belindayan1930]

Was this the color coat or the top coat?

[@IAMGONE2DOGS]

@@belindayan1930 I think I just needed to wait a little longer, they turned out just fine! Thank you for replying!! Your video definitely helped!

[@aericajohnson6395]

hey heads up! i may be wrong but i believe you’re supposed to wipe the tacky layer off

[@Starzy1115]

Beetles has a no wipe top coat. It’s not necessary. Trust me I have it

[@lizbethochoa4718]

How long did the gel last??

[@belindayan1930]

Lizbeth Ochoa it lasts for 2-3 weeks! It stays on pretty well for me

[@abiiiyale]

Did it chip or lift anytime in those three weeks?

[@mariaayala5181]

Beautiful nails love it
