[@katrinasheets2997]

This set is one of my favorites! Pretty sure I say that about all of your designs but I really mean it every time! I love IBD hard gel. It's so affordable and such an easy help to work with.....like the perfect consistency. Not only that but I've never had any issues with lifting or product breaking down. I don't see a lot of techs using their products so nice to see you do. The sandwich technique is amazing because the nails don't get bulky or lose their shape once you apply the gel polish and top coat. Sooooo gorgeous!!!!

[@LissetteCruz]

I know every time I apply gel polish on top I feel like it makes it look puffy if that makes sense lol. thanks for always watching and keeping up with my content. 🥰🥰

[@katrinasheets2997]

@@LissetteCruz it absolutely makes sense! That's why this technique works so well. I love watching your videos.....thanks for sharing!

[@racheldaniel714]

Sis ... this lol... honestly I think sandwiching the polish gives the nail shape that clean look that typically you mainly get with gel nails bc gel polish kind of rounds things out but you did that sis 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 when I buy some of the products I’ll make sure to use your links

[@LissetteCruz]

totally agreee. thank you so much!!! appreciate it! 🥰🥰

[@kristenpickens507]

HIIII Lissette, Kristen again lol I swear you make everything look soooo easy lol! But i have only been inti doing nails because,unfortunately i needed 2 knee replacements.

[@kristenwinegar9327]

Can you do a video on how you apply the nail base on the hand? I have 2 of them and I'm so scared to mess them up but it's hard to use the drill if you don't glue them down.

[@LissetteCruz]

I just use the regular red iguana tip from the website. I shove them all the way in the groove and they hold fine for me. I don’t do nothing special to the tip.

[@LissetteCruz]

I will. I didnt have time to link everything. Give me a few im on it lml 💜

[@teresabrinkman7484]

Cute set, I've been wondering, iss it possible to sculpt on paper forms on these hands? Ty

[@soclse2hvn]

Yes but forms don't like to stick to the silicone so what I do is use some scotch tape around the finger where I want/need form to stick and that does the trick 😊😊

[@patriciagallacher6741]

Yes use tape even masking tape, you can also buy the stretchy sticky tape that sticks to itself, lots use it on their own fingers so that they don't irritate their own skin when filing.

[@LissetteCruz]

Yea tape around the knuckles work best

[@soclse2hvn]

What tips do you use for the nail beds on your practice hand???

[@LissetteCruz]

The Red Iguana tips. on the website

[@raya74]

So clear rubber base replaces primer/bonder and to save time i think you can flash cure for 10 to 15 seconds in your led to save time thats what I learned When u have larger crystals to adhere u dont do the markart gel glue and add top coat-does that method only work for smaller crystals ?? Very pretty!

[@LissetteCruz]

Thank you !! The clear rubber base from the GelBottle Inc has primer inside it. And it doesn’t only work for small crystals. This is my method. Many methods work when applying crystals depends on the creator. I switch it up sometimes depending on what I feel like doing.

[@raya74]

@@LissetteCruz thanks hun

@@LissetteCruz hey love do your Swarovski crystals ever come off and all that's left is the silver flat back part? It makes me so mad because they are so expensive!

[@missblacksheepdoesnails]

I really liked all the glitter colors! I think it’s fun to mix things to see what you get lol 😂 I had a question but I read down in the comment and found a answer already. 😅 I am assuming that any good quality chunky glitter mix will work? I mean ones you can order from Amazon… I have some here that I’m going to mix. I have 2 containers left from my last order from your link that I’m going to use to find out. Then I have to place another order of hard gel and containers, I won’t forget to use your links. Ooh and for pigment as well. I have Martha Stewart’s fine glitters gosh I bought those years ago..and I have other pigment as well but not sure what they are. Some came in art boxes that I used to do, ok blabber box here…..I’m going Thanks always for such great content! 💖💖

[@LissetteCruz]

they are different prices i have the company linked down in the description box, the one i currently use is about 150$. Thanks for watching!

[@carlawright9407]

What's the purpose of using rubber base?

[@LissetteCruz]

The GelBottles rubber base gives the natural nail extra strength and also a primer before adding the hard gel.

[@michealnicole]

Where did you get your practice hand from

[@LissetteCruz]

This is the red iguana practice hand from her website.
