Elegant & Simple Gel X Nails at Home | gel x nails tutorial

[@ElvieeM]

Great tutorial! one pro tip that has saved me a ton of time is to use primer in the nail extension instead of drill etching. hope this can help folks who don't have drills!

Thanks for sharing!

I am going to definitely try this in praying it comes out good ! I’m a cat scan tech in the hospital and I do have to pull patients onto my table would these survive lol ? Also I cnt do too long for that reason I’m looking for like that short square perfect square look do u hav an extension reccomdation ?

[@ariiana.nicole]

Omg, thank you for all you do 💕 Gel X is pretty durable, I've never had them break on me, and I've been using them for almost 3 years now. The best extensions I've tried so far have been Apres (apresnail.com), because I have curved nail beds and they offer the sculpted style. I like Makartt too (on amazon), but I'm not sure they offer square.

Love this set!! Do you any recommendations for tips for flat nail beds?

[@EbbieBeauty]

Could we just use a regular UV lamp? Or does it have to be the one you used?

[@ariiana.nicole]

Doesn’t have to be this lamp however it must be powerful enough to fully cure the gel polish you are using.

[@TinyDemoness]

Have you tried modelones gel x tips? Any opinions on them? I really want to stop spend 175 at the salon.

[@ariiana.nicole]

I haven't tried them yet. Right now in using Apres and Makartt. Beetles tips on Amazon are also good ☺️

I have used beetles glue for about 2 years now and gelike ec almond tips. I have never had an issue with them coming off. Never tried Makartt tips nor glue. Is it better!?

Gelike tips are a little too flat for my nail beds, so the Makartt works better for me.

I wondered if you didn't build on the extension or just application of your different polish? If be the case, won't the extension breaks off easily?

It depends on the brand, but these extensions are sturdy enough that builder gel isn't needed. 💕

[@yessi2067]

Hi, do you put gel on your nails and cure and then the nails, or just prime and prep?

I do both. If you want them to last longer, I recommend putting the gel on your natural nail, then cure first
