I want to give advice to anyone doing their own nails. I was a nail tech with my own business for almost 30 years (I’m now a nurse). I still do my own nails at home. You will damage your own nails if you don’t remove the existing set properly. Those marks on your nails are where part of the nail bed has come off with the previous set. This makes the nail bed thinner therefore the natural oil from the nail comes to the surface quicker and will cause lifting. When removing the set, don’t pry them off use some sort of dissolvent to soften the gel and carefully remove it. Push back and remove as much cuticle as possible as it produces oil and grows on the nail bed so if not removed properly the nail can lift. The more attention to detail you spend on the prep the longer they will last. I wanted to give you ladies any advice I can so you get the most out of your nails. Also LED lamps are so cheap now so if you want to do your nails quicker, use the small lamp to flash cure and the bigger one for you whole hand - 4 fingers, 4 fingers, both thumbs. Always cure your thumbs separately so they cure properly 😊

can you recommendations dissolvents please? Thank you!

Wanted to share a tip I've learned from doing my nails at home like this for 2 years, start applying pinky fingers and work towards the thumb and pointer finger, makes it easier to apply the thumbs and pointer fingers last. Love your videos Kelly!! ❤❤

[@KellyStrack]

thank you!

[@glitz_glam]

I just bought this starter kit today, so thank you for this tutorial. 💅

[@KellyStrack]

Hope you like it!

[@laurafratangelo1815]

I have used press ons for years now. A tip that really helps remove them is to soak your hands in warm water with argan oil in the water. I soak them for about 5 or so minutes and they usually pop off pretty easily after that!

[@christycapone6339]

Love this tip!!

[@fruzsinaiaconis1138]

Kelly, you said that it doesn't damage the natural nails. Normally, the removal process damages it. Would you mind making a video of the removal process, showing no damage to your/someone else's natural nails? I'm sure many others would like to learn how to remove safely too. 😊

[@jeaniecreswell8708]

Kelly. That’s exactly how I feel when I leave the salon. I hate my nails and cannot say a word. And then when I do say something, they pretend that they cannot understand what I’m saying 😮😢I too have been trying to do mine at home.

[@apollyonyx]

Yes. I’ve been doing gel nails at home for years. They are always custom and so much fun to do. Everyone is amazed that I can do so many cute styles.

[@jessicamcaleer9093]

Love this! I used to do glue on nails all the time and then kept getting nail fungus. It was so painful and took forever to heal. I'm traumatized and scared to try anything attached to my nail again. I admire girls with nice nails. I go all natural now 😭

I remember watching an older video of yours on how you did your nails! You’ve changed a lot lol but all in good ways! Your nails always look great! Probably won’t be able to wear them that long once the baby is born so get them all in now lol! Question-why are the daisy nails called Red Flags?!? I almost couldn’t find them bc all the names make no sense lol 😂. Anyway, thanks for another great tutorial! 💅🏻 ❤❤

[@shannontankersley9037]

Your nails are always so pretty. Have you tried the beauty secrets drip and clog proof glue? OMG, I was watching Laura Lee and she uses and she posted an insert from a tiktok video (I don't have tiktok). After watching her video i went on KZbin, this tuff has gone viral so I decided to try it and oh my. My last set of nails last 29 days, and I did some things more strenuous than I would in my daily routine. I was actually getting bored with them and was hoping one would break so I could redo them but I wanted to be faithful to my wear test. I had no lifting and didn't even break one. The one that did lift was my fault. You should try, especially with baby coming :)

[@sandrathomas6161]

Wonderful video and you are glowing!

Kelly : is this what you started with when you began doing your own nails back during Covid? For some reason I thought you had a more “advanced” system w full gel dryer, etc. pls lmk! This looks doable! Congrats on your little one! Wear your nails however you like when he gets here : I can’t wait to people telling you to have short nails. Bless.

[@MSST92N94]

I enjoy your KZbin videos. Your Natural Nails do not look healthy. They look like a layer or so has been pulled off of them. If you have thin nails or any nail, you should use 100% acetone to soak off the Acrylic nail Yes, these are Acrylic nails! The real gel nail process takes hours. Look it up. They use the term ‘gel’ nail. You may have to soak them, nails with Acrylics, for 20-30 minutes. Also, right now, allow them to heal which can take a few weeks. I suggest you use clear polishes; base coat, then nail strengthener coat, then top coat. Repeat every few days. Additionally, use a gentle nail remover, not 100% acetone. For example, nail polish remover with a light natural oil. I hope this helps. Let me know your thoughts and what your research has recommended. I am NOT against the product. I’m addressing ‘your’ nail health. 💕

[@whitneyporter6393]

Your nails are in such bad shape because they are damaged by all of those adhesives. I'm 52 and have never had a mani or pedi. I've been doing my own nails for about 40 years. Those chemicals are very bad for your nails. As well as cleaning products, so wear gloves when you clean and do dishes.

[@marieclark9925]

What do you use for your nails? 💓

[@whitneyporter6393]

@@marieclark9925 I mostly use Essie and Opi polishes. Always put on a clear topcoat. I use lotion every night. I definitely protect my hands from all cleaning clemicals. I use a glass nail file. It is very gentle and doesn't tear the nails. For polish remover, I only use non-acetone. Even though acetone remover works faster, acetone is really bad for your nails.
