Gel Overlay on Short CONVEX Natural Nails Tutorial

[@melaniemonique3887]

I’ve seen people call it ‘negative space nail designs’. I love watching your videos and listening to your voice. 🥰

[@Nailcou]

Thank you ! 😘

[@melaniemonique3887]

@@Nailcou you’re welcome! ☺️

The jelly red on top is how they paint " cherry red " cars too!! It just gives extra depth to the color vs. a glittery red n top coat only. Lately they have been doing a cherry blue, (teah i heard it as cherry lol) car color and omg its gorgeous!!! I guess you can probably tell someone 🤭 has been listening to her hubby's car shows 😅. But it gave me painting inspiration!! 😊

[@lizardwhispererfivehead3552]

I love this !!! 😂❤💙

[@MarciaR-d6d]

That French lines should be call the Outline French. It turned out so beautiful!

[@ToshaRaeNailed]

Thank you so much! I work on a family of women with convex nails and I struggle a bit with them looking thick.

[@Gwenluvsmusic]

I'd never have square shape cos the corners would drive me mad. I'll enjoy them on other people 😂

[@MariaArt.]

Same 😂

[@Nailcou]

Agree 😂, I can't wear them myself, even when short

[@roshanakarya1081]

Me too. I prefer Oval shape.

[@theedeevynegoddess]

I like all except oval on my hands lol

[@alyappleby5318]

You can curve the corners. I think it's 'squoval'. That's what I use on mi e so I don't stab myself

[@molcol100]

I love the look of almond nails and I wear them occasionally but my everyday look is short square. I type a lot and cook every day and short square works best for me. I don’t have the sharp corners, I file just enough so they’re not sharp.

[@buddyholly4672]

Have you tried short coffin shape? I think it looks better than the square because its more narrow looking

[@linzzzanity]

The metallic accent is beautiful

[@cmrs905]

This is beautiful!❤

[@BrittMFH]

Beautiful! I love square nails. My nails are smaller and it gives them a more wide look.

[@EveHyland-in8jb9ti9y]

Stunning work as always Anastasia. 💅❤

[@Nailcou]

Thank you! 😊

[@lizardwhispererfivehead3552]

I’m glad you explained the Cateye diff under color Because I did wonder if in person Theres a difference ❤gorgeous !!! Thank you Anastasia ♥️🥰🫶🏻✨

[@eliselaughlin1886]

Beautiful!!!!! ❤❤

[@blaker85]

I love these simple looking designs!

[@WatermelonCatermelon]

I only do my nails short squares! And I was thinking about doing a nice bold red for my next set… these are beautiful and I may use as inspo! Thanks!

[@Nailcou]

Go for it!

[@ToshaRaeNailed]

I just did this same look a week ago. I was impressed by how cool the red looked with the cat eye under

[@Prancer0210]

They look absolutely beautiful ❤

[@rhondaarmstrong1405]

Beautiful nails. ❤❤❤

[@GenJBoomer]

Silhouette french? So elegant!

[@lefthandednailtech7884]

These look beautiful, ❤

[@theedeevynegoddess]

Beautiful set as always!

[@nicolelast230]

Such good detailed information.

[@felishamendez335]

Beautiful❤

[@amiedeangelis8915]

Id call it an Open French. Gorgeous set.

[@catc2252]

I think her nails look flat at the tips. Would it be possible to pinch to make them rounder?

[@kitakhat]

My nails are just like this. Narrow beds, high apex, deep c curve, stick cuticles. Overlay is a lot of work because the product shifts to the tip. I love how my apex is practically already built, but the weakest part is the sides. It's also hard to find gel tips that fit. They're often too flat.

[@FortheBudgies]

Why do you need overlays if your nails look like what overlays are trying to achieve? They sound like naturally gorgeous nails! Can't you just add color and look better than those of us with flat thin nails?

[@zoeblueyes]

Thank you for this ❤ I have the same nails 💅

[@Nailcou]

🤗

[@d.s.28]

I love square nails.

[@olgalovenails8040]

Hi Anastasia can you tell what Cain of bit she used to removed the product at the beginning I want to get it please!!

[@nelidasotelo3067]

Wonderful 💖💅

[@carolyndurant8413]

I wore square for years but my edges rounded . Like crisp edges so now by go to shape is coffin.my favorite shape on me is stiletto but not practical for me because my job has so much typing ❤

[@Emily-ye1qy]

I’d call them negative space French tips or French outline tips

[@Nailcou]

French outline sounds so cool, Thank you ! 😘

[@theedeevynegoddess]

We were thinking the same thing lol I just commented negative space frenchie lol I like your other name too!

[@kairinaminemix]

That French style is called in visible French!

[@Frosting1000]

I tried short square nails once but the corners bothered me & made my nails look wider. also after 2-3 weeks the corners became softer and looked more round at the end! I actually think they look quite pretty on other people but it doesn’t work for me 😅

[@mi.ella101]

I have a question. I use hard gel to glue on soft gel full cover tips then I use hard gel on top to fix the structure. Is that bad? I’ve been doing it on myself and had no issues lol. -an aspiring nail tech

[@Nailcou]

Not at all! Even though soft gel tips are called "soft", it's still a relatively hard product and is perfectly compatible with hard gel.

[@mi.ella101]

@@Nailcou thank you now I know! I love your videos btw!💕💕

[@danitsayag5303]

פשוט מושלם

[@lynnnadratowski5265]

I think it's called a line French.💜

[@gabinat]

I’m used to short coffin shape and did x-short square for a change. I rounded the corners within 24 hours, the corners were annoying me to much. And the width of the square nails looks weird to be so I'm going back to coffin next time.

[@ToshaRaeNailed]

What hard gel in the bottle do you recommend? I’m in the US

[@Nailcou]

I like the one by EnVogue, it's Canadian brand

[@Dressdesighner88]

Drill bit name?

[@TarotLadyLissa]

I would call it a hollow French

[@blaker85]

I just commented the same lol

[@angelarobertson3548]

❤

[@popitzikaliou7]

Everything you do is nice ..so..

[@sarafabian1534]

Sharp square nails are sooo in!!!!!! I’m in manicuring school and my teacher who is old school and so is one of me classmates and they HATE it! 😂 but since the square nails are so in everyone ignores their advice and they seem very old-school and out of date and out of style 😬😬😬😬 so i guess it’s better to pretend you’re into the trend 😂

[@theedeevynegoddess]

I’d call it negative space frenchie

[@mindysue1802]

Seems like that jelly red was a little too opaque... maybe should've thinned it out with some top coat.... idk just my thoughts. Still love the nails though!!!

[@sewingSue]

Love short square, hate almond.

[@donnawanna9833]

French line

[@blaker85]

Maybe call it a hollow french

[@FortheBudgies]

Everyone please listen. These nails are not short. They are long. Anything longer is getting into extremes. That is absolutely wonderful too, but please stop calling these short nails. Most humans on the planet would consider the final results long beautiful nails that were impractical for everyday activities. I could not do my job or go to the gym or garden with these so they are not short.

[@Alana2U]

Framed French

[@Nailcou]

Ah, that's right! Thank you ☺️

[@shatteredshards8549]

The client has such beautiful natural nails that I feel bad about the set she came in with - maybe that tech was new or something?

[@Nailcou]

Yeah, I think so

[@merciaamorimbezerra7561]

Square nails don't look good on my hands, glad I'm don't like the shape that much 😂😂😂

[@Chee235]

“Empty French”

[@Nailcou]

👏

[@FortheBudgies]

I know it's the clients choice, but her nails were more beautiful with their natural shape and length. These aren't short at all! Your work is gorgeous of course but it's sad someone with gorgeous natural nails wants to change them. I pay to have my weak flat nails as strong and pretty as her natural nails

[@Nailcou]

I think it's in our nature - those who have straight hair, always want to do curls, and the opposite - people with curly hair like to straighten them up. I guess it works the same with nails 🙂

[@WellWoopdidoo]

The colour and design at the end look great, but as someone who’s never had a manicure before I found the whole process nightmarish to watch.
