How to Build a Natural Nail Apex | 3 Mistakes to avoid

[@rare2b]

Just a suggestion could you try a black/darker nail when doing a vid like this just thinking it would be easier to see the builder or I could be wrong.

[@riasb]

yes, i agree !!!

[@unboundbytiffany]

A colored builder would actually be needed

[@misspriscilla2003]

Could you please show how to do an apex on short nails? 🙏

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Noted.

[@bobbie-jenehenderson7824]

Yes please!!

[@Maeldeis]

Yay! ^__^ I love getting a notification a new video is ready.

[@stephc.y.4655]

Thanks for this! I'm still learning how to do this with minimal filing 😊

[@PaolaPonceNails]

So easy to achieve w/ soft potted builder… just a few practices!

[@LALA-zm9xg]

Paola can you please let us know about the fall/ winter gel colors for this year. Thank you.

[@AlexaB021]

Love your natural nails with the design! I’d love to see how you did that 💛

[@NadiraJamal]

I know, right? I had to rewind the video a few times because I kept getting distracted. I think it’s a milky white polish with decals, like she did in this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poSTdamcg5l8rLs It could be striping tape, but the square looks too perfect.

Very good exposure and video boo.

So helpful!!! It looks like the leaf gel is thicker than my kokoist products? I’m an at home DIY’er. Do you have any tips for the runnier product?

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Point the finger downward while applying to keep the gel from flooding to the cuticle area.

[@rubyjinxx]

Awesome video!!!! Thank you!!

[@Nailcoverlover]

Awesome thanks for the tips 🤩

[@donnawanna9833]

I would like to see how you do the apex, without all the how not to do it. Thanks

[@PaolaPonceNails]

We reserve specific techniques like that one in the MGN Course.

[@thearmchairjournalist566]

Thank you 😊

[@jcchiou7628]

Thank you for all your wonderful videos, I learn so much each time I watch them! I use leafgel base and sculpting, and when I try to comb my gel the way you do, I end up leaving lines and divots in the gel that don’t self level 😭😭😭 what am I doing wrong?

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Hi! Thank you! That means you need more gel, you're not using enough♥️

[@winnies8576]

(Asking as a client not a nail tech,) I've always hated the look of the super thick apex. I want sport length (or just a tiny bit longer) is it possible to ask for less of a bulky apex at the salon? Thanks a bunch 😊

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Yes, but if your nails are not naturally strong and you"re going longer with your natural nails, they may bend and hurt.

[@gabriellemartin1575]

Love this ❤️

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Thanks Gabrielle!

[@jenniferlilah]

Is the slip layer just a thin layer of the same sculpture gel - or another product?

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Same gel.

[@Scent_Library]

I can’t see anything you’re doing on those white nails
