How to avoid lifting!🙅🏻‍♀️ Nail Prep for Beginners 💅🏻How to Prep Nails for Acrylic, Gel, and Dip

[@annywiebe7693]

My nails went from lasting 5 days to 2-3 weeks. Prep is KEY!!

[@KiaraSkyNails]

That's why prep is soo important!! So glad to hear they lasted longer babe!

[@huimeisu2445]

They drilled the natural nails sooo much.

[@nynidreamz13]

Huimei Su that be hurting my nails when I do it

[@ishabaybie100]

Kiara Sky Nails where do you get your nail tips from I love yours !!

[@kayla121499]

Really

[@medifyre_u.u4231]

I’m a guy, I’m trying to learn how to do nails, I’ve spent hours and hours on watching tutorials, and spending a lot of time doing my research and buying the right quality product I need. I have all the things I need, I spent about 210 dollars on products, but finally I think I’m ready to start doing nails, after spending all this time learning. I invested this much money because, getting your nails done can be a little too expensive sometimes, and you could be spending 720+ dollars a year on them. So I decided I should go ahead, and do my best on learning so we could save up a lot of money, for my mom and my girlfriend:)

[@vickymartinez3267]

Wow i wishhhhhhhhhh my boyfriend could do this for me 😭

[@chereisabooker6038]

Thank you for the crooked finger tip!! I too like to make sure my prep is A1.

[@KiaraSkyNails]

A perfect set starts with perfect prep! ❤️

[@juhluvrae]

Time stamp?

[@nicolecourtney8688]

I came here from The Long Hair and Pretty Nails show 💃💃 and if you didn't sing that with me we CAN'T be friends LOL. But this is the perfect learning material THANK YOU

[@savannah6995]

Nicole Courtney I swear I sing with him every time 🤣

[@margxet853]

Nichole Alele same 😭😭

[@gimygaming8655]

Lol. Me too

[@alchemyofeden]

@macg_101 Yeah! Lol. Love it!

[@jaclynscott9833]

Yep, lol!

[@ukgirlinlv]

It's so refreshing to see someone not cut that cuticle band off. There are so many nail techs cut the cuticle band which is there to protect the root from infection. I was a nail tech for 35 years til I retired and of all the video's I have seen on KZbin your the only one who knows what they are doing. Great video.

[@siennamccarthy133]

i appreciate that you take time to prep clients nails, ive been to so many places that just try to get the set done as quick as they can and do zero prep/ cleanup on your nails

[@marlamccall1454]

I wish I had thought of the crooked nail tip. As soon as you said it, it made perfect sense.

[@KiaraSkyNails]

Glad to help babe! ❤

[@aquamom14]

Every since the pandemic began I realize how much my leisure time was going to change. The one thing I enjoy is my nails being done. After buying the kit and watching 6 videos I can honestly say I never have to go to another salon💋 thanks a bunch be safe😷🌈

[@denagustafson6070]

Only six videos? You must be a nail genius! 👏👏 I’ve watched at least 100!

[@jeseniaflores3853]

Removing the cuticle with the drill is by far my fav part too 😂 SOOOO satisfying

[@maisiemouse3607]

This honestly changed the game for me, started doing my own nails and they were popping off after a few days. They’re still on and it’s been two weeks!

[@mtnjhutch]

That is wonderful

[@daishaw4847]

Please start selling nail tools on your website. I would buy every tool for the proper nail care if you started selling them.

[@KiaraSkyNails]

Noted babe ❤

[@tralala4704]

Revel nails

[@sindirodriguez1030]

Yes please! Or give us tips on where to purchase good items from for us that use the Nail Dip Kit!

[@jenniekim1294]

Rossi nails has them! And their quality of products are so much better!

[@osopetty1761]

Jennie Kim Rossi is not better than kiara sky. Kiara sky gives you a better deal for your money and the quality is superb. Rossi costs too much for a starter kit $65 which only comes with one color. Better to spend the extra $35 and get Kiara sky’s kit which comes 4 colors in the kit and you get to pick 2 additional colors and 1 lacquer. The build your own kit also comes with a pedicure kit and you get to choose if you want the recycling tray or the collection tray

[@peezytothe]

Cleaning the cuticle is so satisfying

[@KiaraSkyNails]

It really is lol! And so important! ❤️

[@MsMaryTiffany]

I so agree 💞

[@elibishop5516]

Thank you so much for sharing your trick for correcting 'crooked' looking nails. Per your suggestion, just the tiny angle change of tip placement 100% straightened(to the eye) the slight curve inward of two of my fingers(my ring and middle fingers are 'pigeon-toed'). Having long nails only made them more noticable, until now!

[@kimmay2766]

Hi I am 65 and just starting to us dip with tips. This video was made for me because my nails are thin and brittle. I will need to watch it a lot to learn all of the info it gives. Thanks

[@arianahadley8079]

I have a perfect catch phrase for them "the sky's the limit"

[@KiaraSkyNails]

Love it! ❤️

[@lizjones1501]

I love this prep video. I hate when my nails lift because it snags my hair! =(

[@viennabexley9373]

This

[@weekendnomad5038]

Me tooooooo, same

[@nichmon3221]

Yes!!! Especially when washing my hair!

[@bdenise4164]

I prep my nails before getting a fill/set. The salons in my area do not prep nails at all. They do not like doing designs or anything that’s trending because it’s time consuming. Anyways, my nails last 4 weeks. Screw them.

[@bdenise4164]

They also like people coming back as soon as possible

[@KiaraSkyNails]

The more you know, the more you can make your nails last! 💅🏻

[@anonymousnunyabiz5803]

Ummmm. I know I’m late but you need to heavily consider changing nail salons love. Sounds like they don’t want to do their job.

[@reshelldidit577]

Yes I agree nail prep is essential. So important! When i learn how to nail prep properly it really helped with my applications lasting longer.

[@storiesofshweta792]

Only you guys come up with such videos ..I have not across any brand being so transparent with their customers…thank you love your brand

[@rutha.4839]

This was super helpful. Can we please have a tutorial without the e-filing? I love you guys by the way 💗💗

[@MayaRz07]

I just did my sister’s nails today for the first time lol They came out too bold and I couldn’t get the tapered shape so I decided to come and see if there were any KZbin video that could help me out. Thank you for explaining the process so well! I can’t wait to remove my sisters nails and practice again ! Hopefully I get better at them!

[@rebeccabrubaker1086]

U-prep so perfectly and I would so appreciate finding a nail tech like you I've been so many places and have yet to find one God bless you for all the work you do

[@jackieelaine1953]

I usually hate talking in a video, but I LOVED ur talking!!! Thank u!! U shared soooo many wonderful tips and I learned so much!! I appreciate u for sharing ur knowledge!!! Thank u!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

[@lyczious]

This tutorial makes me feel like I can create anything 👏🏿👏🏿🥳

[@catheriner2615]

You make things so clear. I need to thank Suzie from NC for my finding you. I'm following you now so going to binge watch and save your videos. I know they will help me so much. Thanks 🥰

[@LovePrettyNailsLady-Jay80]

My prep work makes my nails last indefinitely until I take them off. Prep work is what takes the longest. Clean and abraised nails and tips are key.

[@marukanavarro5459]

❤.. Thanx for the tip on clients w not straight fingers.. Lol.. I always had trouble w that... Thanx

[@lauratrujillo4510]

I seriously follow every step after finding this video! Life saver!!

[@1D083]

Always always always prep the best you can! It's like showing up prepared💖💪

[@skatensurf13]

This takes me like 2 hours how do I speed it up lol

[@baaylee3590]

[@kiarusakura]

yeah honestly just practice

[@malia2275]

[@lilmisstrouble161242]

Thank you so much for that nail tutorial that really dose helps me out a lot . Especially when I’m still teaching myself.

[@KiaraSkyNails]

Keep up the hard work babe! You're going to learn so much and we're here for the journey with you :)

[@lilmisstrouble161242]

@@KiaraSkyNails thank you very much . I will keep you guys posted as well 👍😊😀

[@heyhoneyy]

Wish you'd do a video on how you (not the client) did your nails... the thumb with the glitter & marble/swirl look... those are cute 😍

[@amypapendieck7741]

I am sold on Kiara Skys videos for sure!! she's the best out there. believe me I've looked.

[@TheVictoriaMakeup]

I never thought about using the cuticle nippers after using the drill but it's actually a smart idea

[@steffis23]

So helpful! and I give you credit for doing nails with your own beautiful nails!!!

[@AtreyaJonea]

Thank you, I'm a beginner and I appreciate this.

[@shammythevoice]

As a beginner...this is gorgeous and so helpful...thank u so much..just watched from Zambia❤️

[@nelidasotelo3067]

Wow love this kind of videos! Very well explained! Please make more vídeos like this one!💖💅🍂🍁

[@KiaraSkyNails]

We plan on it babe! Stay tuned! ❤ xoxo

[@wendym1655]

Great video, I always struggle with lifting doing my own nails and thought using tips was the problem. Guess I was putting them on too far back! 💗

[@noemigomez6260]

That cuticle looking really goodddddd!!😍😍

[@bevwalters560]

I used to get my nails at the salon l don’t anymore. I just do it myself now. It lasts longer and l don’t get fungai on them now since l have been doing them myself. thank you this video. I have learnt a lot.

[@spicesfunny]

I didn't know my frail nails could be part of the cause of the lifting. Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@ice_bro7296]

Please let us know exactly where you purchased all products used on this videos. I know you guys said you can get anywhere and anything that similar to what’s used on this video. But we would like your recommendation.

[@gangstergiirl]

Most nail technicians get their e files from Erica's ATA. The e files from them are amazing. All the other nail products are probably from kiaras sky website

[@jackiiie929]

You could try amazon too! They have some good cuticle bits . Also melody susie has good ones too!

[@toniaseay6564]

I tried this technique and it works like a charm

[@KiaraSkyNails]

Love! 💅🏻 Prep is key! 🔑

This is such a wonderful tutorial! You are amazing and so lovely for doing this video for us viewers:-) Love your remarkable talent and skills:-)

[@giasohmer3742]

i bought a bunch of nail tools and SNS for $70. that’s basically the cost for one trip to the salon! after these videos, I’m so excited to do them at home, save the money, and have fun!

[@bethleannmartinez5474]

Girl you explained it really well Good job

[@sandyramirez9770]

Thank you for showing me where I was going wrong!! And what my local salon was doing wrong..

[@SavageHeartXO]

Thank you so much for this help. Your nails look so gorgeous. I love the colors and design.

[@KateWiium]

In Iceland people get fills every 4-6 weeks... they think 2-3 weeks for a set to last is not a good set. I'm a nail tech in Iceland and I book people for infills around the 4 week mark

[@KateWiium]

I do this prep =)

[@EAJurk]

That growth must look insane!!

[@ms.dumondrichardson7360]

Kate what is the best acrylic to use

[@loading1345]

Bruh what is in the water in Iceland, a lot of ppls nails be growing fast in America I guess??? Lol

[@aaahnelly354]

It’s crazy how everytime I get my nails done at the salon ... they never do this they just glue the tips and go on with the rest

[@gimygaming8655]

Really?

[@AuraRodriguezGomez]

How long do they usually last?

[@aaahnelly354]

Aura Rodriguez Gomez they would last about two weeks but they would start lifting pretty quick ... and pulling my hair lol

[@Mrsmajick]

I prep nail and the blending of the tip is a bit outdated now as they do wellless tips that do not need blending now.

[@NadiaVenClose]

I haven't gotten my nails done in years. But back in the day, yeah they never even pushed my nails back. And at the time I didn't know any better. I won't go get my nails done now because I'll do a better job myself. I'm not giving my hard earned money to lazy nail techs.

[@tunnyo6691]

I just brought all the nails supply that I may need to doing the nails . Just need to watch what I need to do and not to do. Also I don’t need to get my nails done at store which costs me a lot of money. So I decided to do it myself. Wish me luck!

[@jlda9474]

Yes, it’s all about the Prep!

[@chantefourie4768]

Hi so when you do acrylic nails you do not use the base and top coat? Only the bond it??? Is the base and top only for gel polish? And the bond it only for acrylic nails? Sorry might be silly questions for some people but I am still learning ☺️☺️

[@Menbob1997]

This was really good question thankyou help me a lot as I'm starting out thanks

[@shannonvlielander1636]

CAN I JUST SEE UR NAILS OMG LOVE IT

[@jeandismuke2855]

Thank you for the prompt tips..great job

[@DD-ue3cy]

I’ve only gotten my nails done in Asians salons and I’ve never seen them do this. They just take the efile and file off the shiny layer and so on. Idk if this is a common thing

[@veeross4371]

Not every nail salon does a prep like this if so they charge extra because it's a start of a manicure procedure. Which if you ask me it should be done all the time everywhere.

[@tanni374]

Because everything has to go quickly, time is money is their slogan, thank God i don’t need them anymore thanks Kiara Sky😘

[@writofmandamus]

So do you add "nail prep"/dehydrator solution next?
