I love how you got straight to the point and no extra music or random edits and long talking. Subscribing to you ❤️

[@taniasanchez4961]

I just got a 72w UV light and I learned soooo much from your short video. I'm excited to start doing my own nails 😁 much love from CA ❤🌞❤🌞

[@Whatif666]

Thank you so much. this was very informative and you answered all of the questions that I was wondering about.

[@glazedtalons]

Thank you for this tutorial. I noticed you don't use PH Bond.Is it ok to skip it when you wipe nails with alcohol?

[@chickettesblog]

Hi Melissa - The lamp doesn't cure all of my Gelish colors, but most. I had issues with a couple of them curing in the LED lamp.

[@akhilsachdev3073]

Plz also tell me which gel nail polish brand u prefer

[@martyp9166]

Thank you for mentioning about the brush. I did exactly what you mentioned, my brush harden. I will avoid to do that in the future

[@LisaDAmmirati]

Awesome tutorial! How do you cure polish when your lamp is a UV/LED combo lamp? I’m never sure how long

[@neesha.j]

What led light are you using here? Also does it cure the darker colours?

[@LeksiW]

Can you use a Gelish PH Bond as a base coat with regular nail polish? Or apply a peel-off base on top of it?

[@user-kv6mh7lf6v]

I got a set with foundation, ph bond and top coat. You seem to only use the foundation and the polish. Will I need the others?

[@takeshacrump8396]

Can i use the shellac clear base and top coat for the gelish polish or does it have to be the gelish foundation

[@Mmmelisssa]

Would you recommend buying the LacQit LED lamp. I see that it is only like $45. Have you ever had any problems with it curing your Gelish?

[@ShanaBebii]

what sort of LED-lamp do you use? How many watt is it? Can you use gelish also with the lighter en smaller sort of LED-lamps? Or do you need to cure just a little longer then?

[@andreapedro4880]

How long does the gelish last on the nail?

[@suvette72]

great, do you take it off with normal acetone?

[@christinampou.3446]

hello..what about the quality of this product?? Is it worth its money? thanks for your time

[@AliceR1809]

[@sammyjo9074]

[@claudiacardona8164]

Does Opi gel works with led light¿

[@zaraah12]

Hi there just wondering what wattage your led light is ?

[@JadenYukifan28]

@Akhil Sachdev It's a type of Polish that can't dry like normal polish can...it needs to be cured in a special light

[@Venus-19]

Ur so lucky! My cuticles an skin round nails are always flaky and crap lol im constantly using hand n nail cream so much dry skin all round mine so bugs me also ur nails r lovely an straight mine grow so uneven 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 xxx

[@BABYGIRL4U1]

Is your gelish foundation slightly milky looking?

[@jackielovesnicole]

Thanks for this informative video! I was wondering if you need to wipe after curing the foundation?

[@yoisita1]

Thanks, perfect for beginners like me.

[@444renaldo]

Thanks for the tutorial :) Can you apply nail art on the nail before the top coat using regular nail polish (like a striper brush)? Or would that not be compatible?

[@JenoeRussell]

Loren Huff yes you can!

[@rebeccamartinez445]

Great video, Very informative thank you!

[@ooops2567]

CAn u do a nail shaping vid

[@jocelynesmommy]

Hey what led lamp do you use? I find the gelish lamp to be a bit pricey "/

[@user-iu7dj6xu4m]

can i replaxe fonsation with top coat??

[@jolantamatuszewska4773]

I've had Tiki Tiki Laranga but it doesn't look like this one at all ... It's more like very bright neon orange...

[@chickettesblog]

The LED lamp that I used in the video was provided to me by a company called LacQit. I also use a Thermal Spa UV lamp.

[@kaitohkid7229]

I want to buy soak of nail polish because my nails break fast. I have some questions: does it strengthen the natural nail in a way like the builder gel does? Can it make nail thicker and stronger? I would like to have 2mm to 5mm over the fingers long nails. Would it be realistic? Do I need primer and dehydration?

[@isayoutube6842]

Does a l Uc and led use same gels??

[@isayoutube6842]

Is ir same for acrílic with gel Paint??

[@lizarolon4128]

Can I cure gelish with UV Lamp

[@rebeccamuir3464]

Very good tutorial thanks heaps,well done.

[@MariciLaBelle]

where did u bought it

[@mirandaash]

My Gelish top coat is brand new but is already getting really gloopy before putting on my nail. Is there something I can do to prevent this?

[@kaitohkid7229]

I heard you put it in your hands and strike it between them to make it warmer and mix the material in the bottle itself bevor opening and using it.

[@tundekovacs8000]

For me edges remained white, i put the colour gel on it, more times, but it's disapper. Do you have any tricks for that?

[@kattenlover1235]

I have exactly the same problem with this Gelish polish! Such a shame :( I now always use the one step polishes from Crystal nails, those work the best in my opinion.

[@stephanienguyen6123]

What is the difference between Soak Off Gel Polish and the normal gel polish?

[@krissymarie8273]

How do you remove it? Says soak off.. is this true? ..

[@daleetdhillon1741]

where from I can buy it nd wt is cost nd quintite.

[@kokopickles2294]

How long does soak off gel polish last? I am going on holiday for a week and want them done before I go.

[@chickettesblog]

Kirsty Pickerill usually up to 14 days

[@sunnyhoney7665]

Excellent tutorial! Gave me exactly what I was researching

[@bradnrose9369]

When you cure your base coat should it still be wet/sticky?

[@laurakahunde2710]

Been wandering too..🤔

[@selenadelira4815]

do u have to have the foundation and primer

[@evakirszenstein3438]

+Selena delira if you dont use the foundation and primer your polish will be more likely to chip and or just peel off. i would recommend to use both for best results

[@susanh5585]

I've started doing my own gel manicures at home since October. I've had to return 4 bottles of polish for clumping! Getting frustrated! Okay I started doing my nails at my sunny desk that does get some sunlight. I figured that was the main problem. UV light, right? But my question now is how dark of a room (no daylight flooding in) do I need to do this in? I have a very sunny house.

[@Kkkk-pu3ez]

+Susan H just avoid day light, do it for example in the evening when there is no sunshine

[@susanh5585]

+Kateřina Hrdinová thank you so much! I figured this was the problem. Just feel badly having to return expensive products......and waste my time too. Wish I would have known ahead of time.

[@camillel5777]

Do you use a UV or LED lamp when curing? I've read your video of the MelodySusie 12w led lamp. Will it cure all your gelish polish?

[@chickettesblog]

I use LED. The 12w will cure most of my polishes... some take a little longer than normal.

[@pam411p6]

@@chickettesblog 12w😲 I just ordered one for 17 bucks 48w. Does it work well to have only 12w🤔🙄

[@ryenkrajewski8857]

Can you use a regular top coat my kit didn't come with a top coat

[@alexandram6081]

No

[@jeannettevega1974]

Thank you very informative.

[@mikidebussy19]

Do you know why the polish pulls at the tip? I tried to do a pink french and the tips kept pulling before I could cure.

[@tmalcolm413]

Did you use a primer and a base coat? X

[@unabegovic2123]

Gelish Polishes shrink when you apply them. I would recommend doing one or two fingers at a time as you have to work really quickly with it so it doesn't shrink.

[@frogs9468]

Some polishes just naturally do that, I don't think there's a way to fix that.

[@ralu9457]

@@unabegovic2123 same with geleration and shellac

[@KittyKlassy]

Awesome tutorial! So this will work with any gel soak off polish brand? Like LeChat Perfect Match?

[@chickettesblog]

Yes, this is the process for most gel polish brands. There are some brands that don't require a base and/or top coat.

[@JessicaMartin333]

Best gel polish video on youtube!!!

[@OliMe318]

Thanks for the tutorial. 😊

[@jolantamatuszewska4773]

Thank you :)

[@mariyamnoor487]

does it scrape off?

[@jolantamatuszewska4773]

Hi, what is the colour of the gel you used in this tutorial ? Thank you :)

[@margemellow5022]

I think sweet orange cream dream, im brighter than you, or something with morning dew in it. Those are the 3color similair to hers.

[@chickettesblog]

It's Gelish Tiki Tiki Laranga

[@chickettesblog]

PH bond is mostly alcohol so I often skip it. It is recommended by Harmony Gelish. If you have it, I recommend using it. If you don't clean very well with alcohol. :)

[@chickettesblog]

I don't work with acrylic, so I don't know. Sorry.

[@akhilsachdev3073]

Hi! What is gel polish exactly??

[@nyreekirby3170]

Akhil Sachdev gelish

[@AyveeDeamon]

Thank you for this awesome video ! All my questions are answered :)

[@valbonaivezaj140]

You are supposed to dry-wipe after curing Foundation coat (base layer) before applying color coats. You can use a lint-free wipe or a dry nailbrush. That's what it says on the bottle instruction and harmony gelish KZbin videos.

[@alexandram6081]

That's the first time I've heard that! Why's that?

[@randa12s]

After curing for 30 sec the foundation is still sticky ! Is it ok to do the colour despite stickiness ?

[@glynisr285]

So you only whip off after the gloss stage...not in between colours??

[@frogs9468]

Plus that'll remove the stickiness that helps them adhere together.

[@AliceR1809]

just found your video, thanks for sharing i just purchased a DAISY SOAK OFF GEL POLISH KIT WITH UV and still dnt know how to use it...

[@smjeenshiya9837]

Licha R yes me too dear

[@laurakahunde2710]

Thank you... Now I know why mine was peeling after just a day or two 🤦🏾‍♀️. You have really beautiful fingers aswel.

[@isayoutube6842]

What did u clean mail with ??? After buffing ??

[@drago2237]

Alcohol

[@kellieholman4650]

you can cure any kind of nail polish with an LED light. I do it all the time.

[@zAeeLOWZOR]

Hi! How many days it's good,lasting? two week? or some day?

[@yunizhorena7352]

2 weeks probably.

[@yunizhorena7352]

I make hard gel for my friend last for 2month.

[@Cnidaria14]

can i let them dry alone since I dont have LED or UV light? and to remove the polish can you use normal acetone nail polish remover? thanks!

[@AlchemicNeedleworks]

They will never dry, this type of polish needs UV rays to cure.

[@frogs9468]

You must have an LED or UV lamp to cure the polish otherwise as stated it will never dry.

[@shamim.H]

when I always use Gelish it will crack or come off after 2 or 3 days i put so thin layer but still it doesn't work i use base ( don't know the brand ) Gelish ( 2 coats ) and top coat ( glaze n go ) what should i do ???????????????????????????

[@Lifesbetterwithkat]

shamim haghighi vand glaze n go is more more gel enhancements or acrylic. No for gel polish look at the instructions on the website. Try a different top coat

[@frogs9468]

You should use the gelish top coat.

[@chickettesblog]

It should last 2-3 weeks.

[@MissGlitterT]

Hi just wondering how long do gelish polishes last? Like do you have to replace them. Thanks :)

[@chickettesblog]

They typically last 14-21 days and then you have to soak the polish off.

[@MissGlitterT]

Sorry I mean the actual polish

[@JadenYukifan28]

Andrea B Can Ph Bond work with Normal polish as well as Gel?

[@chickettesblog]

I don't see why not. It's just a dehydrator to help the polish adhere to the nail better.

[@mikidebussy19]

Tara Swain most have a shelf life for 2-3 years from what I have seen on my bottles

[@NanySofia]

What happens if I don't buff my nails? I don't want to do that :-(

[@chelleme4019]

Make sure you swipe each nail a couple times with acetone, and use a dehydrator like ph bond, or even cnd nail fresh and buffing won't be necessary. If you don't have a dehydrator, then swipe each nail with acetone a few extra times as acetone will help to remove oils and dehydate the first few layers of your nail. If you have a primer use it on your tips to help with adhesion. That should eliminate the need to buff, this is what I do since I prefer not to buff either.

[@NanySofia]

Chelle Me thank you so much!!! :-D

[@chelleme4019]

No problem! Let me know how it turns out if you get a chance. If you happen to get chips or lifting this go around, don't get discouraged. There are primers that can help if you are prone to lifting, I personally use ASP gel primer in the blue bottle from Sallys and i've heard great things about fingerpaints gel primer. When I first got my kit, I did my nails and it didn't work for me, so I threw it back in the closet and forgot about it. Pulled it out about 6 months ago after hearing about the asp primer and have had great results. I'm getting ready to soak off a mani i've had on for 23 days and i'd leave it if it wasn't for so much regrowth lol

[@NanySofia]

Chelle Me that's great to know! I bought a set with primer, top coat and 3 different colors, so I'm all set with those :-) After I apply and have the experience I'll let you know for sure, thank you again :-D

[@crystalespinoza5084]

What do you do with primer if you dont have the foundation😅

[@girl6627]

[@isabellhelgesen1119]

Can I use acetone to wipe of the sticky layer after curing?
