[@a.h.9352]

SERIOUSLY I'VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE FOR THIS. Very helpful!!!!!!!!!

[@GelsNGemsNails]

I'm so glad it helped you. Thanks for watching. Xoxo

[@andreaducker8699]

This is by far the most helpful video I have seen regarding liquid latex-thank you for sharing!

[@GelsNGemsNails]

Glad it was helpful!

[@pinkcrazygirl]

You saved my day! Did my nails with liquid latex today and it was a desaster. Tomorrow I'll try again with your tips. Can't wait. Thank you! 😊👍

[@DrDreuhh]

The lint roller idea is genius!!!

[@BonGarner456]

Girrrrrl, Thank you so much for this!!! Lint roller is my most favorite part such a smart trick! Thanks again!!!!

[@iounothingbutlove]

Oh My Goodness! I have really been struggling with using this stuff and especially with removing it, scraping the heck out of my skin with tweezers and messing up my designs. Your video blew my mind with the lint roller trick! And the orangewood stick trick! The instruction on the cuticle area is a game changer. In all of the 1000's of videos I have watched I have never seen any of these tricks before. Thank you sooo much! I also see that I was putting it on too thin and it seems if my skin is too dry I just kind of absorb it and it won't come off and I am picking it out of my nails for a week. Thank you SOOO MUCH!!! Off to do more nail art now , without all the clean-up!

[@GelsNGemsNails]

awwww I am so happy to help. this makes my day that it helped you so much. thanks for watching. xoxo

[@mistybrown2991]

Thanks for the helpful information. I'm new to doing my own nails so I can use all the help I can get.

[@motherendurance]

Those are the absolute best tips I have ever seen. Thank you!

[@GelsNGemsNails]

I'm so glad you liked them!

[@jsavannah]

6 years later and you are still saving lives! I used latex tape for the first time today. It was thin, so I put 2 coats, but could not remove it. For 20 minutes, I scraped, picked, and rubbed with little success. It looked like I had a skin condition. Found your video. I don't have a lint roller nearby, but have Scotch tape. WORKED! and fast! Thank you! 💕❤💕

[@GelsNGemsNails]

That's great!

[@willettewashington9485]

Great tips especially #3; just bought liquid latex. Definitely going to use your tips, thanks.

[@GelsNGemsNails]

Yay, so glad you found them helpful! Have fun with you nail art, the latex will help so much. Thanks for watching! XOXO

[@olgarsmith7441]

Oh wow! Thanks for all your tips especially the powder tip. I've stuck my fingers together so many times...uuhhgg! Thank you!!

[@Guylene325]

Awesome!! Using the tape to get it off, yes!! I'd never seen that, thank you.

[@craftinmom]

Wow, 4,5 & 6 are brilliant! All the problems I’ve always had…solved!! Thank you!!

[@GelsNGemsNails]

Happy to help!

[@artbarn2624]

I bought liquid latex a couple of months ago and used it once. It was a disaster! I couldn't get a clean line near the skin/nail border--and keeping polish from my skin was the reason I bought it in the first place. Then my fingers stuck together and all the latex came off. It was such a disappointment. Now I know how to avoid those problems and use it properly. Thank you!

[@GelsNGemsNails]

😘

[@juju55488]

Great idea with the use of powder to prevent fingers sticking - using lint tape to remove is an excellent idea as well...thanks for the tips

[@LilahsGigi]

Awesome! The only thing I haven't done that you showed was putting the latex in the cuticle area and pushing it off of the polish. Will definitely do this!!! TFS! 💞💞💞

Great video thanks for the tips and tricks I will use them

[@debbie2179]

Super helpful

[@Yarnchurch]

I always wondered why other people didn't flood their cuticles with the liquid latex like you do. That's the worst area for cleanup!

[@GelsNGemsNails]

Exactly!! Thank you so much for watching. xoxo

[@EleniniNails]

Amazing! Thank you for share this useful tips 🙂

[@GelsNGemsNails]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@naq57]

thanks sharing, i had already taken your idea for using the tape for the removal and i loved that. i will now also start floading the cuticles and keep some powder ready!🖒😄👌

[@GelsNGemsNails]

Awesome! So glad you found it helpful. Thanks so much for watching! xo

[@ICanCraftThat1]

Can you use this for all polish applications? I am terrible at painting my nails. No art just straight up painting. Will it come off nicely with several layers of Polish on it?

[@GelsNGemsNails]

yes!

[@SandraYT]

Great tips! Thanks for sharing

[@jillnunes318]

Thank you 😊

[@curlycreolechick]

What about the peel off base coat and the latex? What not to do?

[@Misfits_Mosher]

Genius! GENIUS!!!!

[@TNHookem]

Can you use this while doing acrylic nails so the acrylic does not stick to the skin or flood the cuticle?

[@GelsNGemsNails]

no i dont think that would be a good option

[@TNHookem]

@@GelsNGemsNails thanks!

[@poolahpot]

do you still use this brand? and is it supposed to be removed BEFORE uv curing? The tips are great!!!

[@ashleycaldwell2102]

This is what I’m trying to figure out too..

[@angelacharleston2745]

thanks for the tips i will definitely use these

[@tracynader1235]

Great video! Very helpful. Anyone know how to turn your latex back into liquid? Have an almost new bottle, lid was on tight, but unfortunately the latex in the bottle is one giant clump.

[@gummy5862]

Old comment, but mix distilled water slowly until you get the consistency you want.

[@tracynader1235]

@@gummy5862 thank you!

[@ruthless2005]

I heard you mention a latex peel off base coat. I just bought one and have been thinking about getting latex guard. So how exactly can I prevent from both coming together and peeling off together? Do you have a video that can help me with this? That would be extremely helpful. Love all your tips!

[@GelsNGemsNails]

When using a peel-off base coat of any kind you have to be really careful not to let you other latex touch the nail at all. You can use a toothpick or orangewood stick to help separate the two before they dry. Hope that helps

[@thehavoccultist]

Is there other ways you can keep them from sticking together ? I don’t have baby powder or lint tape

[@GelsNGemsNails]

any kind of powder would probably work, maybe try a loose setting powder or some makeup you may have.

[@lifeandrandomness1868]

I was thinking about something I saw recently: those foam separators typically used on toes during a pedicure could just as easily be placed between the fingers. Haven't tried it myself, so I have no idea if it makes painting/nail art too awkward to be useful, but it looks sound enough to me to try it soon. We shall see...

[@lindokuhlesimelane7861]

Thank you for the tips and tricks which shop can I get this?

[@GelsNGemsNails]

Bundle Monster, now called Manniolgy doesn't carry this anymore but Amazon has some great options, just type in Latex Poli-Peel Cuticle Nail Protector

[@lifeandrandomness1868]

Update, 4.28.2023: Maniology (formerly known as Bundle Monster) does sell Poli Peel, as well as a non-latex version called Mani Mask. They also have single-use adhesive cuticle nail tape (a U-shaped barrier you stick on your finger around the nail prior to any doing nail art that otherwise tends to leave a mess on the surrounding skin). Just wanted to put this out there for anyone who may be interested.

[@LaniSalter]

Does this latex work with uv gel?

[@GelsNGemsNails]

yep

[@carmenbaez2397]

Good tips will be using them next time I stamp tfs

[@GelsNGemsNails]

Awesome! Thanks so much for watching!

[@MisghellisDeli]

Genius!!

[@Raynestorm1968]

Clicked on the link to get some of the liquid latex you are using, and got a 404 error. Page not found. It's also not available on Amazon.

[@GelsNGemsNails]

This is a very old video. They don't sell this one anymore. But there are other brands available.

[@alicetsang5768]

Good tips❤️

[@hannan6767]

thank you so much :)

[@theblackest0]

thank you, now I know what to do when my latex goes on my nails

[@bethflores5716]

I bought some liquid latex, but it wasn't working. Thanks so much for the vid - now I know my latex is just thin and cheap. 😊

[@niharikayadav5848]

What's a lint roller?

[@niharikayadav5848]

And also can we use normal talcum powder instead of baby powder

[@marinvanz.1924]

Maby you already know what a lintroller is, but it's a roller with some kind of tape on it, where you can roll of dust or something like that,of of your clothes, curtains, couches and things like that. I had to look it up for myself as well on Google😉😁

[@asboukcomfortable1670]

I have older topcoats and basecoats, don't want to buy anymore. Online forums Reddit etc say you can layer peel off basecoats and latex to make a hybrid basecoat. I paint MUA Peel off, let that basecoat dry, then layer a little liquid latex, let dry then mix/ add a CND SHELLAC basecoat or Zoya Armor basecoat! My oily nails have 2 weeks wear, less chipping if I use a bonder, and my bendy nails don't break as much! I'm m fed up of wasting cash on expensive 15ml indie bottles of polish! UK 🇬🇧💋 5.11.24

i watched this entire fucking thing and she didn't even paint her nail and take off the latex. wtf

[@GelsNGemsNails]

Thank you so much for watching! But, this video is Tips on some common problems people were having at the time of making this video not ''Watch me paint my nails'' video. So I wanted to give the info on the product and some ''Tips & Tricks''

[@toriv1976able]

@@GelsNGemsNails Geez!! Some people!! Instead of being appreciative of the tips you gave to help those who run into these issues, they have a need to be extremely RUDE and complain! Guaranteed if you had applied polish and removed that you'd have someone complaining over that!! I for one am hugely grateful for this video, and the tips you've given. I know it's a TON of time and work just to create, edit and upload a video just to help people out and you pretty much do it for free, so THANK YOU!! It's very much appreciated!! Those are some pretty brilliant ideas!
