How To ACTUALLY Do Gel Extension Nails (Gel-X)

[@alyssaeriksen8332]

I’m phenomenal at manicures on my own, so I SWORE this would be easy. An entire week later, my nails are a mess and I have yet to get it right 🤣 thank you for todays tips ♥️

[@palestar828]

Confused. I thought you said that you were phenomenal at manicures on your own? Lmao

[@emilineharris3724]

This was so informative and well done!

[@cutepolish]

They look SO good, Juli! 😍

[@JauntyJuli]

Thanks Sandi!

[@msofeliaflores]

Hii! Your results look SO good! I was wondering, would you recommend wearing regular polish instead of gel polish over the tips? I love regular polish but I’ve always been curious about trying nail extensions ☺️

[@harovilius6132]

For most pre - made and builder gel nail extensions you can use air dry nail polish as a color coat! It will not damage the structure of your nail extension. However, if you use acetone to remove the polish, it might soften and therefore damage it, so be careful not to soak it in acetone but wipe it off and let it dry ^-^

Hi! Not sure if you mentioned this What speed do you have your drill on for the cuticle bit ?

[@superpopoky1]

I do these steps and after the curing process, the nail tip still detach from my nail. I even buff the nail tip before putting glue. Any advice? Thanks!

[@diannella]

Have you tryed the new Builder Gel from Le Mini Macaron?

[@misty.brooke]

How do you remove them?

[@ginrose7203]

Beautiful

[@kaidanariko]

Do these hurt as much as the nails you get from a nail salon? Like that “bruised too thick” feeling that makes your fingers feel like a toothache?

[@Bats_]

Not at all. :)

[@JauntyJuli]

If you apply them super close to your cuticle area and they don’t fit probably (digging in to that area) they definitely have that feeling for about a day. BUT if you file them so they fit your nails correctly, not at all!

[@darkpurpleink]

I'm assuming from the video, this would not be a recommended method for people with gel sensitivity? I'm find as long as it doesn't touch my skin.

[@micheleknapp768]

Your nails look amazing!! 💗

[@PiperVeinot]

Is it possible to do extensions on very short nails I am a nail biter so my nails are pretty short just wondering if it's possible they are growing a bit just not as long as yours

[@Faye_Linnane1]

What adhesive are u using

[@HealthierByGrace]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing and being so thorough.! :)

[@MafaldadeSousaMacie]

My nails tend to curve upward when growing so I feel they end up pushing the extension up as well and eventually they pop off 🥹 any suggestions?

[@mollyapp]

Super informative, thank you!! Can I ask which little wipes/pads you’re using?

[@JauntyJuli]

Thank you! Yes! I use these from Sally Beauty! www.sallybeauty.com/nails/hands-down-nail-wipes/SBS-580420.html

[@mollyapp]

@@JauntyJuli thanks Juli! 😊

[@shakirasmylie6178]

The nails are so cute 🥰

[@wendyd1229]

Do you need to cap the free edge on fake nails? Thank you 🩷

Simple and smooth

[@Ruby-wd1wk]

Hi how long do these gel extensions last?

[@cluisap]

Is not better to use Gel X than this Gel extensión? I think Gel x looks more stylist and is longer for those who likes longer nails.

[@micheleknapp768]

What do you think of poly gel? I’ve tried it many times, just can’t get the hang of it

[@JauntyJuli]

I’m not a huge fan of polygel anymore. It’s just so sticky and hard to work with. I also struggle finding a form that fits my nail bed probably. But maybe I’ll give it another go because the results are beautiful!

[@Kavita_goyal28]

Can we use natural nail tips instead of clear ones?

[@palestar828]

I thought using sawing, back and fourth motion while filing was bad and will cause splitting and breakage to the natural nail

[@llllllllllilillii]

those aren't tips

[@amandaathanas4027]

OR, take 10,000 I.U. Vitamin D3 and 600 mcg Vitamin K2 daily.

[@keeleyhank6812]

I don't want real nails. I bite them. That's why most of is do this. No need to come in here with your condescending tone and try to be above all.

[@bluebosnian]

my natural nails grow extremely fast but i still prefer fake nails because i can take them off easily, as i am a sculptor and sometimes cant always have cute long nails.
