Yay! Another amazing video. When I first started doing my nails I’d chase that white line of imaginary lifting it’s so funny that you mentioned that. 😂 Thank you for all the different angles you provide, they do not go unappreciated! Especially when you bevel the tip to adjust the thickness. Everyone says the angle, but seeing it helps because I start to second guess how I’m going in. Thank you!

[@Raquel-bj4pj]

yes!!! there’s always something she mentions that we rasonate with, omg she’s so experienced and educated with incredible comunication skills, i love her!

I'm 55 now and made the decision to make a career change 6 years ago. I went back to school and became a nail technician. I own my own business, a mobile nail salon that services men and women over the age of 50. I love it!! Best decision I ever made. Wish I had done it sooner! Your videos have helped me sooo much. I don't have girlfriends that do nails, so I have nobody to talk to about my work. I can't tell you enough how much I've learned watching you work. Thank you so much😊

[@vsheavenly68]

Dottie Mil I just did, I’m 52!

[@vsheavenly68]

Jennifer Wong I’d love to hear about your business, if you don’t mind. I want to do the same. I’d love to hear from you. Lisa

[@caroljmartinez]

I'm 60 and have done nails for 35 yrs now, and still love it!

[@kibbyc30]

Congratulations yall! I did the same! I went back to school at 40. I literally just passed my practical and got my license the other day!😊

[@yasssgawwwd5643]

Gooood idea!!

[@Gold_pearlsgodess]

Omg I learned so much! I love your videos. Being almost 100% self taught even after nail school (🙄) I find your videos way more informative than anything else I’ve experienced/seen. You are an angel for offering this info for free. Thank you!

[@everythingbuthair]

I'm in the exact same situation!! School taught me absolutely nothing either. So many of us would be nobody without you Liz! Thank you for giving us the confidence to understand the why and how of our job!

[@jenlambie14]

Thought it was funny when you said "don't judge me" because the last thing I ask myself when I've finished is "what would Liz think?". Gold standard right there!

[@annab6948]

You are an amazing teacher. The best one on KZbin!

[@amethystk572]

As someone who is a perfectionist learning the Russian manicure technique, I really really appreciate how you explain when to leave it alone 💕💕

[@moodietool150]

Thanks Liz. I am one of those people wanting everything to be perfect at every stage. Even though I only do my own nails I don't want it to take hours. To stop focusing on the small stuff and moving on to the next step is a really big deal. Showing exactly what I will see and what to ignore is priceless. As usual you rock!

[@alyssasipe1900]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I do exclusively gel on my nails now and have learned so much from you and Suzie over at Nail Career Education. That is where I actually first learned of you and now look forward to what you will teach us next! ❤

[@rayelbrigham7777]

Alyssa Sipe I have the same story as you! Exclusive hard gel here (gave away all of my other products)...found the nail hub via Suzie. So thankful for Liz!!! 💜💚💙

[@dizzyrizzi6246]

Wow. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You are an amazing educator. I really appreciate how detailed your explanations are. You don’t just do, you explain why and how you do. I have gained so much confidence watching your videos. Thank you for explaining everything as though we’ve never ever touched any of the products and are starting from scratch. Keep up the amazing work Liz. You’re a treasure

[@patriciagallacher6741]

So happy when I see a new video from you, just know I'm going to learn something new every time.thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos as I know me and many others appreciate it.

[@Sarappreciates]

Thank you! I can't tell you how many times I've tried chasing that tiny white line of "lifting" with my file. You've saved me so much grief in this video!!! 🥰

[@caldgrl]

Filing right before the lifting-brilliant! Thank you for the slow-mo. This is so helpful!

[@pamschonfarber1041]

I appreciate so much that you gave a good explanation on how to use the e-file on natural nails. Perfect explanation & description, thank you!

[@daxxydog5777]

I always love how detailed your explanations are and how easy you make it look. I've been following your tips and tricks on filing and I noticed this past set that it took me a lot less time, which means more weekend to enjoy! Thanks, Liz!

[@everythingbuthair]

the way you called me out on how I file lifting 😭😭😭😭😭 died laughing okay I will have to practice only filing AROUND it now thank you lol

[@Ezster69]

I've been doing this now for lifting. Total game changer. Because of Liz no more rings of fire, I have cut down my time with e-filing and I don't burn clients anymore. Win win for everyone.

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

As I'm going to be doing my first gel overlay refill tonight, this couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you, Liz. "The Nail Hub - Excellence as Standard".

[@TheNailPolisher]

Im so thankful for your gel series here on YT! I cannot afford to go to shows/classes so these have been SO helpful. I have a client who had "claw" nails. I wasnt sure how to correct them but by clipping the nail off and rebuilding new one. Bice to know I dont have to waste time doing that anymore. Great video! TFS!!

[@Ezster69]

Thank you Liz, for this amazing series. It has helped me so much on my nail journey. In fact, my work is lasting more than ever, and there are less and less chipping and lifting now. My e-file skills have improved ten times more. Thank you so much.

[@Sepidaryf]

This is probably the most thorough and helpful video I’ve seen about doing any type of nail work! ❤️

[@michaelsreality]

I have learned SOO much from your videos! Thank you so much for being so good at why you do! I have had my cosmetology license for over 10 years, concentrating mostly on waxing and skin care and have recently fallen in love with gel nails! Thank you so much!

[@Keraitos]

Thank you for making this. You have no idea how many videos I watched that were not what I was looking for before finding this one which explains it all nicely and shows precisely. I appreciate it.

[@micuchua70]

I can’t stop loving your videos. Thank you millions for your time and effort to teaching us. 😍🌹

[@lidatchakian1659]

This was so helpful! Thank you. Your angles, explanation, every single guidance. So much appreciated. I learned so much from you. Thank you 😊

[@ThisIsTiffanyLao]

This is easily the best tutorial! Thank you for the detail explanation and taking it step by step. The camera/footage is also very close up to the nail and shows a lot of detail! Many other tutorials are really rushed and this detailed real-time one is exactly what I needed

[@nelidasotelo3067]

Aw video! You are an excellent teacher! Love your vídeos!💖💅

[@arrydoll2021]

You’re so amazing. I have always had lifting issues on my DIY jobs, and even with professional services, because of my nail composition. Watching your videos has allowed me to assess my nail type and do gel manicures that last for weeks and weeks, when before I would have lifting in days due to lack of knowledge of accurate prep and gel types. I’m still learning, but I can’t thank you enough for allowing me to maintain beautiful gel nails when I previously thought it just wasn’t possible for me. I’ve been backfilling my nails for about a month now instead of doing full soak off removal and it’s just the best for the integrity of the nail (and it saves me so much time as well). I can’t thank you enough for this series!

[@DaisyIRocha]

Thanks Liz for your amazing videos. I'm not a nail tech but I have never liked how my nails were done. Now, I know why and started doing my own nails. I recently got lazy and let the salon that does my pedicures, do my manicure. Needless to say, my nails looked better when I went in than when I left. I've been following your videos and have learned so much. Thanks for the knowledge.

[@linalackiert]

Thank you so much for the detailed filing! I finally know what I have been doing wrong when filling in my overlay. This was so helpful

[@paulakoncki4029]

You are the best!! Love watching your vids! It is like going on a refreshment course, sometimes one for gets little details like where to place the drill on the nail! God bless!! 💞💅🏼🇿🇦🤗

[@doradoradoradora999]

Thank you for these amazing videos. Thanks to you and your knowledge I was able to make a gel overlay yesterday for the first time in my life, I really wanted to have a nice curved apex because my nails are very straight. It looks amazing and it's only thanks to this incredible channel!

[@CryTides]

I do overlays on my long natural nails and you’ve given me the courage and technique to try to fix my index nails which both curve down.

[@ikniet5032]

Your video's are the most useful nail video's I've come across. I feel like I learned so many important details.

[@kp-up2cs]

I wish somebody did a video like this when I was learning ❤ such an amazing job and great help for fresh nail techs ❤

[@ioanaaka]

Love love love your videos! 😍😍I am doing my own manicure at home and your in depth tutorials are incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for all the work put into developing these videos! You are a great teacher! 😍👍😁

[@diannasola]

Such a good explanation, I do my own nails and I'm always learning. Thanks for all the valuable information!

[@karenpresley7101]

I love your videos. You give such good, clear explanation and direction. I'm the type that wants to know WHY you do a step and not just do this or that. I definitely want to switch from polygel to hard gels. I love the polygel, but I think I'm causing more damage to my nails by over filing it and into my natural nail. I don't use an e-file yet but I think I would be more comfortable with it. I'm very used to using one with a gentle touch making jewelry. Hope you are having a great day. Thank you so much. 💗💗💗

[@rebeccachewning378]

Such an amazing video. Your ability to describe where even a completely untrained, at home watcher, understands and sees exactly what youre referring to is great. And your camera work is fantastic!!! I am so sick of watching videos where i cant see up close enough or whatever to see exactly the result of what they just did. But yours is so good that i can SEE it happening and its like a light bulb going off! I dont do anything more than dip powder on my natural nails. But i learned so much on efile technique, cuticle clean up and even painting the nail by watching you. I cant even do that as cleanly as id like. So im working on it. I have learned so much from binge watching you today. Thank you so much. Keep doing what you do. I dont understand why you dont have more subs!

[@reneegaudioso7148]

Awesome video. I have never seen someone explain the process as well as you have in this video. Excellent!!!

[@homemakingwisdom]

So glad I found this video. I have natural long nails, but I have one nail that grow crooked, now I think I can actually fix my nail to not look crooked.

[@janellemcm22]

Another amazing and informative video!! You never disappoint!! 🥰💅🏼

[@nanceebirdlover5222]

Another fantastic video, thanks.❤ I can't believe your discipline to grow out the gel and not have to fix it😅 Our gain of course, learning wise, much appreciated.

[@lindamacnab9407]

I know this is an old post but I just found this , I’ve been doing my own nails for a few years , just trying diy… but I’ve learned so much in just one video , thank you

Thanks for all your videos, they are huge help to all of us that are starting to do nails💕💕👌

Very nice. I didn't know about filing before the lifted edge... Cool

[@laurasoftheart]

[@pamschonfarber1041]

You earned yourself a new subscriber, you really were so descriptive & explaining, I just am so happy to learn the reasons also for why you file the way you, I don't think anyone has explained or shown how to e-file, and how not to file the natural nails and get rid of lifting. 😅😅

[@cherylbear15]

Hi I do my own nails with gel by learning from you, I have been taking of the gel until all the gel was removed from my natural nails which are very weak but not anymore this video is wonderful. Thanks

When I tell you I somehow still managed to learn SO much from this video. I'm amazed! You answered questions I've had for a while. Thank you!

Thank you for the video and it makes a lot of sense. I wish there was a way to do this with soak off stick on nails as there is always necessary filing after they are off.

[@RAJOHN-ke7mc]

Let me tell you Your videos first hand helped with my application. That beaded layer allowed me to have the apex that is almost salon worthy. Im still working on perfection however Im almost there

[@RAJOHN-ke7mc]

I did my first incredibly successful backfill. when I tell you: filing off the loose gel, the inhibition layer, the wet layer, the final layer and the file down (I use ceramic bits) was an absolute success. I also successfully filed down the bulkly free edges of other nails. This was successful all because of your teaching I am forever grateful!

[@TheNailHub]

That is so awesome!!!! Makes me so happy to hear this.

[@badd.j]

Are the 2 wet layers that were applied after the first base layer both builder gel or base?

Thank you so much for this video! I’m I home DIYer and have done 3 backfills following along with your video. I’ve noticed this time, that I’ve gotten some lifting/large bubbles in the backfill area. I didn’t buff my new nail before applying gel and that’s the only thing I can think of changing. Do you have any addition recommendations?

[@erikavujasinovic8971]

I loved this video, exactly what I needed for my clients wanting overlays. You are amazing! I am having a very hard time with application of certain pink builder gels (like akzent foundation gels) that dont self level at all. I feel like the u shape technique I use for more self leveling gels doesnt work with this kind of builder gels, and I have to file the application because it shows different colors since it's so uneven. Maybe you can make a video on the subject, would love that! Also do you have a suggestion on a good desk lamp or plan to sell some on the nail hub? I always buy from it!

[@polarbear9848]

Following your videos, I have done my first gel overlay and back filled it with a change to the design. The mowhawk tip works fabulously. I have a question though when i was removing the colour the hard gel underneath seemed to be cracking off in places, did i apply to thin?

[@karenmcdoanld8805]

Than you!! Great Video!!
