Gel Nails Fill with Lifting

[@thatswhatshesaid.literally737]

😳🤦‍♀️ *Thank God she came to you instead of not knowing any better and going back to the nail tech created that hot mess in the first place! It also perfectly displays the reason that nail prep is **_most_** important of all, and how much it effects the overall set. They turned out absolutely beautiful! 💗💅🏻 Tfs!!* 😁👍

[@moonpaints4090]

Oh yes! She could've also got an infection if water some how got trapped in that lifting. Glad she found her.

[@TheCrashdive]

I'm doing my nails by myself for a few months now, it takes like 3 hours because I can only work an cure on one hand (obviously) at a time. I'd say 2 of 3 hours are going into preparation 😂

[@dizzyrizzi6246]

What a daunting task. I’m sure most nail techs would have insisted on full removal but you were definitely up to the challenge. Beautiful set that colour is so lush. Tfs Anastasia

[@lw9849]

These videos are very educational. I’d love to see more of these videos where you repair bad nail jobs.

[@Krptkim]

I love hearing you speak! So relaxing and great accent. You are a super talented nail Technician!

[@Holly-qd4hn]

Omg this is the worst lifting I’ve ever seen. Amazing transformation as usual 😍

[@mapofwhatever]

Ive had real bad lifting issues with 4 different techs, had to find the perfect combo (acid primer + one specific brand and type of builder gel as base) to get my nails last more than like 6-12 days - they just peeled off. So i would never blame the tech, sometimes materials that fit 95% ppl, dont fit that remaining 5%. But this case seems different tho, bad prep. Watching the lifted up part come off was so satisfying here!😅😅

[@heysugarfree]

Can you tell me which acid primer and base you are using now? I tried so many but they all peel off after 1-2 days 😭

[@mapofwhatever]

@@heysugarfree my tech told me my combo dont work for some people she tried it on after me, and im just with these weird nails that like this combo... but here it is: Kinetics acid primer, Nai_s quick gel Builder clear II. Switch one out and i get chipping or lifting on 2nd week. Worst things i've had put on my nails are rubber bases (peels in 3-5 days, same tech, same filing). I can only suggest you keep note of what doesnt work, and work with one tech you trust and love. just switch up one thing at a time. If anyone can tell why this works, id be happy to know! 😂 i used to get back my tech on 4th week with naked nails, and i used to envy girls that had to get old gel filed off. 😂😂😂 On this video filing off old gel problems was like seeing aliens, so satisfying😂😂😂 Best of luck finding your perfect sunshine godsent tech and perfect products! ❤

[@disa2312]

I always had this problem with gel nails, but then I tried acrylic and that seemed to be my best fit, almost never have any lifting or anything.

[@rubytuesday1309]

I used to use builder and acrylic but it never stayed so I tried polygel now I can keep it for 3 weeks with no lifting whereas with acrylic they would break and builder would lift within days

Definitely. This was a lot of work.

[@Yveness]

Now I understand why some nail techs do not do nail work, particularly removals of old sets they did not do on a client. This really shows your professionalism and knowledge around nails to not only patiently fix the problems but produce a beautiful finish on the clients new set of nails. I've learnt a lot from this video!

[@stephaniedreams5529]

I will NEVER go to a nail salon to get my nails removed again. The last (and only) time I ever did get that done, the nail tech took a credit card and slid them between each of my nails and tore them off ALL of my natural nail was EXTREMELY damaged and paper thin.

[@AshPhoenix714]

Stephanie Dreams you have 10 fingers.. why didn’t you stop them at the first? Or even before they even started???

[@moonpaints4090]

Sorry you experienced that. Sorry also that the other comment was pretty rude. I just want you to know that there are much better salons out there that do not use such barbaric ways of nail removal.

[@stephaniedreams5529]

@@AshPhoenix714 I am very awkward when it comes to confrontations. I may scream about it in my head but not out loud. I so badly wanted to say something but fear held me back. I regret not saying something about it and if I ever did come into that situation again I would speak up.

[@StphnyGlzRys]

Relatable ... Hear me out ~ I've always had pretty natural nails but my aunt asked me to accompany her to the nail salon and she ended up convincing me to get mines done. I had never experienced it so I thought "why not". They got to the point where they needed filling and I was in a different country, so I looked for a "good rated" nail salon in the area and went there to ask them for removal. They begged me to not take them off, "they're pretty don't take off just fill them" but I still told them I wanted them off. The nailtech filed down the gel color and then ripped the whole nail off with tooth floss... (~*internally squeaks*~ I promise I completely died inside but I couldn't say anything still, I just watch my poor nails fly off) 😓 never again...

[@LaNena0207]

I am a Nail Technician and if I see any of my girls nails lifting like that I will give up my license. That is unacceptable. One nail it’s not good but more lenient. I loved watching all the fixing process and the awesome end result! Way to go girl!!

[@shihtzuluvrtwo6386]

Dang, I'm a do it yourselfer and never had lifting like that. A little around the cuticle area. Once I purchased cuticle bit and Young Nails Protein Bond, no lifting PERIOD. Thanks for sharing, I love your techniques💖

[@JofromItaly]

Wonderful job. It makes you wonder if the other nail tech knew what they were doing, though. I've been doing my own nails with polygel for about 3 months and I no longer have any problems with lifting because I watched loads of tutorials (yours as well, thanks), so how come a supposed professional does such a bad job? And this lady even paid her for it!

great transformation! tip for stamping with gel. when scrapped and the pattern is on the stamper. put it 5seconds in the led light. it wil not smuch when stamped on the nail after that. but it stamps perfect. that stamper won't get damaged (hopefully my explanation is clearly because i'm dutch so English isn't my native language)

I agree with this. And also allows for a cleaner application. My thought process was painters don't just paint over clipping wood/paint. They fix it, sand, etc. And I do have newborn thin nails naturally because of thyroid disease.

Wow! That transformation😱thx for making this kind of videos. I need those so much because we learned nothing about that in nail school. Honestly : i ve learned everything on youtoube really. Oh and your question : i would NEVER do an infill on such nails. Always a new set. If she does not like the shape i create she has to go to the tech who created the shape she likes, missing sidewalls AND a million liftings😉👆. To me doing nails is art. Everybody works differently and even we dont work the same each day. Love your channel. Wish i would have found it earlier💅❤

[@hairsofabulous]

[@mszoomy]

First, I LOVE that color polish! I think you did a great job on saving those nails, they were a mess, and I hope the last tech she went to see this video addresses what a lousy job she did. I just do my own, I don't work in a salon but if I had a client that came in, looking like that, is probably remove everything and start from scratch. Seems like it would be to much work to try to salvage such a mess. As for that one bit you had, interesting shape, I don't think I've ever seen one like that before but it certainly worked for doing the underside of the nail like you did

I have actually gone to get my acrylic nails filled and there is obvious lifting. I always point it out but I have had them file the color off and they just fill it and not take all the product off or replace with a new extention and start over. Then I freak out for weeks that i'm going to get mold under where it's lifted. I know I should be pushier but I hate to tell the technician how to do there job. You are doing a great job I wish more people payed more attention like you. I enjoyed watching your videos.

Acid primer can burn and cause damage to the surrounding skin, so you need to make sure to only get it on the nail plate. You shouldn’t really get primer on anything but the nail plate regardless but it is even more important with acid primer

@@hammudles amazon does one called silcare and it's brilliant only 4£ too. Also all primers have a type of acid in them it's just with acid free it's like double sided sticky tape, acid primer puts little pits in the natural nail so that the product sticks better but it can burn so only put acid primer on the middle of the nail as it spreads on its own so just a dot on the middle of the nail plate will do.
