I’m going to try these because my gel manicures only last about 4-5 days and the they start chipping and peeling which isn’t normal even after doing lots of prep they still tend to peel

[@YTuser874]

I’ve tried everythinggg to stop my gel nails from peeling and chipping. But they still peel and chip after 4-5 days. I think it may be the cheap lamp I have. So if youve tried everything (like me ) and nails still chipping. It may be the lamp ???

[@kimberlyholley341]

5 days?!? Mine hell a damn day!

[@ayushigupta8175]

​@@YTuser874Yes its because of the lamp,I have changed the lamp and whole game changed

[@merrittmagdy4453]

@@ayushigupta8175what lamp do you use now?

[@LittIeAsia]

100% this helped. Especially keeping under the light longer - literally my nails normally last 2 weeks but I'm currently going on a month!

[@tfavor4189]

Which lamp are you using

[@Neceebell]

Finally, something that makes sense and straight to the point

[@user-iw6oo6ge4l]

Informative, to the point, and no unnecessarily long intro ❤

[@amandab.5632]

I love that you are sharing this. There aren't a lot of videos with folks with simple instructions. I would love to see a tips and tricks video where you walk us through how to use the different nail art brushes for designs. 💕

[@adelina19191]

It's crazy that I was just thinking about doing this today but I wasn't sure how to, thankyou

[@albertaslocum1746]

I just found your videos and wow! I really enjoy your content. I'm just beginning my gel nail polish journey and your videos are perfect - short and very informative. Thank you for sharing.

[@amymarxer6559]

Great tips! Thanks Gabby!

[@alexisjackson9080]

I just found your channel and it’s everything and then some!

[@Kangaroocry1]

Do you have a daily nail routine (cuticle oil etc)?

[@britt2dabrat344]

Thanks for the tips. I just need better brand of polish and uv lamp thank u Gabby 🥰🥰

[@oliviavilner]

This is such a helpful video. Thank you so much! I use the Beetles lamp. Is that okay for curing? (I also use Beetles polish)

[@martinala580]

I use plastic press on faux nails (POFN) and one major mistake i made the 1st time was not buffing/filing the POFN. This is apparently a crucial step to let the gel polish adhere better to the POFN. The layers of gel polish just chipped & even tore off in less than 3 days. All that hard work... Gone. But lesson learned indeed.

[@eppademmic6216]

SO helpful -- thank you!

[@co3coa434]

Hey! Thank you, I think my lamp is the problem will have to invest in a better lamp. 🌸

[@Solid_Snack]

Can you please recommend a brand that is long lasting but also doesn't take forever to remove?

Hi! So, i have a quick question. Im a teenager, and im going to start learning how to do nails. Mostly gel manicures and custom press-on's (with gel polish as well) is it bad to leave the paint on for more than 2 to 3 weeks? On the natural nail. I've heard some people say it will damage your natural nail, and im trying to recover for a long few years of severe nail biting. And im doing this mainly to get my nails healthy again. So, i dont want to damage them more in the process. So, i just wanted to ask someone who was experienced with gel polishes! Thank you so much for your tips!

[@luckyinkentucky14]

How do you keep your cuticles and skin around the nails looking so good?

[@shortie.j]

cuticle oil and lotion

[@kittypau]

Hello! Is the primer more important than the base coat? Or what is the difference

[@milkanailmilka2878]

Good nail 💅🏼 👏 💖 🤗 ❤️

[@specialturnage2119]

I got my nails done Friday today is Monday and my nail polish is lifting up and it’s still wet underneath😢

[@hellobelle3973]

Beetles is the brand I can’t get to stop peeling off

[@rinconx50]

Thanks allot

[@deirdrediaz3718]

I bought the Beatles home manicure set and when I put the base gel polish on it looks like oil and water. It won't lay on my nail bed like any other traditional polish would. I need advice.

[@may6247]

Early! Thank you much needed! Love your vids!

[@GabbyAngelique]

thank you! I hope this helps!!

[@egyptianprincess6006]

Thnks, bye ❤

[@asboukcomfortable1670]

Best basecoat is Essie Here to Stay, its a really grippy thin nail basecoat, even use it under gel basecoat, then add gel, then use Essie No Chips topcoat, then cure! Lasts AGES, few chips, but it works for me! Also use CND SOLAR oil on cuticles! UK 🇬🇧 13.4.24

[@simple_naildesigns]

Me encanta tu trabajo 🥰💕

[@asboukcomfortable1670]

I've tried loads of gel basecoats, a lot of them are just hype! The best gel basecoat I've used is Arte Clavo, a good grippy gel basecoat needs UV light! Silcare Flexy and Color it! topcoats were too hard, kept snapping off! No flexibility for long bendy nails! UK 🇬🇧

[@mashoba927]

[@Lunar_DeBrie]

Beginner here, didn't realize washing hands directly before applying polish was actually giving those oils back! I'll wash them before everything else so I have clean hands and dry nails 😅

You need Essie "Here Stay" basecoat, then gel basecoat. Essie basecoat are strong and THIN. UK 🇬🇧

[@nicolamillar4958]

Can I ask please, where in the UK i can buy this? 😊

[@misslizx4248]

I honestly did not that I could overdo it with the capping😂 I capped every single layer. And I have to have short nails becaus of work, so there’s ALWAYS excess nail polish on my skin, like at the top of my nail. I tried cleaning it with a q-tip but it’s to big. I’ ll try to remove it with the cuticle stick… thanks for the tip!

Definitely think my lamp isn’t strong enough

[@asboukcomfortable1670]

The nail industry is a con! I cannot find a good gel 2 in 1 topcoat and basecoat that doesn't cost the earth and grips my manicure on! Silcare Flexy is the best budget 2 in 1 topcoat & basecoat! It's cheap at £4/$7 and grips the manicure. It can soak off a bit quick. MTSSII gel polishes ate cheap and come off easily! UK 🇬🇧 17.1.24

[@asboukcomfortable1670]

A lot of these gel polishes are too thick and clumpy! And a lot of these nail lamps just stop working properly! The nail industry is a CON! UK 🇬🇧

[@cherrywilson6267]

Yes! I don’t have the time to keep fixing it.
