How to do a Free Form Nail with Fiberglass & Silk Wrap

[@nail.cultured]

Oh, my god. I've been looking for a good fiberglass and silk tutorial on youtube for the past three days and most I've seen who did it were people doing a review or trying out fiberglass wrap for the first time. This is os very efficient and helpful, thank you so much!

[@Lilique]

This one is really good!

[@mooky4281]

This by far was the best tutorial and soothing. I was so calm watching this lol.

[@honeyrainn]

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!!! I had some years ago; I completely forgot about fiberglass nails until I found the wrap; I'm so grateful there was a tutorial~I forgotten how to put them on. . .thank you for sharing

[@lhdollbaby]

I was introduced to this technique In the 90s when I was in Europe... it was all the rage... came back home only a few could master it and they charged ridiculous prices... this is the best method for me and my nails...... now I have to settle for gel nails....

[@mayarockafellow1446]

That was so helpful. Thank you for showing that step by step. Because I definitely flubbed mine up last night.

[@thornbird6768]

I have never seen this before , really nice , so much more natural than acrylic or gel x

[@backscratcherssalonsystems7608]

This product is very light weight and easy to apply .It's the most natural looking nail on the market. It has been voted the BEST WRAP

[@ebonybizzell9816]

omg, im so very glad to find this! I have a nail biting problem and the only way I dont do it is if I have fake nails on but every time I get this my nail bed is sooooo soft and sometimes badly damaged after I take off the scrylic. This silk wrap will provide a safer alternative that will also help my REAL nails get strong and long! Thanku!!!

[@qt_stacy]

did you have any success strengthening your natural nails over the last 6 years with this system? cause i have a similar issue lol

[@nounas12]

this whole process must be so time consuming but i understand it's much healthier alternative to getting acrylic nails

[@callmewaves1160]

Nouf H acrylic really damages your nails and not good to be inhaling for long periods of time.

[@keemarie1]

Alana Robertson no acrylic does not damage your nails. The nail tech who does your nails and you the wearer damages your nails. I have had nails going on ten years straight and I could take them off today and my nails are just as healthy as ever so!!

[@caprisun6910]

Kayleigh Myers even nail techs know acrylics aren’t healthy for your nails!

[@chelebowns8078]

Gabriella ballor in my opinion it’s the nail techs and the acrylic I removed mine a couple years ago now they are all kinds of weird! I have bumpy lines and in two of them I have severe angles. I’m so disappointed that I did that to myself 😞

[@Alexandra_Hill]

I have been getting acrylics for 6 years, every now and again I take them off and I have to say that my nail underneath is only soft but no damage, the softness goes after a day or 2 though, the woman that does my nails says the damage done is from over filing the natural nail when applying and filling, I believe her because she doesn't over file and as i said, there's no damage.

[@jlv1254]

I love this , Thank You! You have just answered my questions.

[@kathbeth43]

well done. I'm using silk wraps from now on thank you.

[@DaAmethyst1]

You make it look so easy!. What is the " beed" clear stuff? And the activater?

[@dairyist]

Great for doing nails at home! My concern is how strong is that? Wouldn't you need to build up the stress area?

[@StregnthShows515]

Is this the healthiest thing to do for your nails? I’m trying to get my nails stronger and also how does this work?.. do you have to come back and get fills or what?

[@Msrosy145]

Where can I get the fluid bottle. ? I’ve bought 3 that have brush on resin. And the brushes always clog up or disintegrate. I need the one used in the demo I love it. I prefer silk wraps to anything else. Thank you. Please reply. 👍🏽

[@RoseShowsChannel]

New subscriber here. This was SUCH a great video!! I think I understand. My only problem is I couldn't hear the words well. If I turned it up loud enough to hear your sweet voice, then the music hurt my ears. May I suggest to lower the volume of the music in future videos? How is this removed? Would this be a good way to patch a broken nail? Is it possible to purchase the material by itself? Thank you in advance!!💜💜💜

[@queeny-l1r]

Can ordinary nail varnish OR gel nails be used over these? Thanks x

[@beckie1384]

It looks very nice indeed

[@pickletoes88]

I've tried to do this set twice now after getting my Glass Glaze set, and they both turned out SO rough!! They were uneven, as it was really hard to evenly smooth out Stikr with the tip. Had a ton of product flood the sidewalls too. Any tips??

[@lovebug6388]

When applying, tilt fingers downward so it flows down rather than to the sides and try using a smaller bead.They also have Stikr in brush form. Hope this helps!

[@bananamilk2605]

Hi there! I was wondering if I need to add that many layers of the Kickr or can I only do it twice. Thanks a million!

[@backscratcherssalonsystems7608]

I think you mean Stikr resin (Glue) you can do 2-3 coats. Then spray with Kikr 4-6" from the nail after each coat of Stikr to dry the resin

[@jubbii13]

How strong are they??

[@mayac.1345]

Omg i wanna learn this old school thing

[@darkflora6948]

This is gorgeous

[@jerrellehurdle2216]

Hi love your video, simply beautiful. Are u using a LED or UV lamp to dry?

[@backscratcherssalonsystems7608]

We use our Kikr spray activator to cure the resin with the Fiberglass/silk wrap systems. Our YOU Gel and ICE uses a UV light to cure.

[@kandacesibert9985]

Lol I want my nails done like that😍

[@fredward339]

I'm allergic to acrylic really bad and am wondering will this be the same pretty much?

[@sero0716]

+Samantha Jones This is good for those who are allergic to acrylic because it will not cause irritation. :)

[@redhead172002]

Many times when people are allergic to acrylic it's because the nail tech is getting the product on the skin ask them to avoid doing so. I've had many clients say they are allergic to acrylics when really they are allergic to the primers. We use. Ask for a hypoallergenic primer or ask for no primer.

Sooooo informative, thank you!

[@Charlottebell333]

Is applying the stikr (resin?) and the spray damaging for the natural nail underneath? I already have quite long nails but want to reinforce their strength with wraps, but wouldnt want to hinder their natural growth/health.

[@backscratcherssalonsystems7608]

We have had great success with the wrap system because it doesn't damage the natural nail. We have clients that have had wraps with tips ( Fiberglass/Silk) on their nails for years and when they soak them off l the natural nail underneath is healthy. They then just wrap their natural nails just for extra support.

Hi Rosa, You may color with polish or with gel. However using Backscratchers gel requires a UV light to set. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

[@Beeebo7112]

When I put my one layer of silk on and then the resin I can see the silk fibre it doesn't go see through and when I try to remove the rough the silk Fray's and you can see it what am I doing wrong? ??

[@backscratcherssalonsystems7608]

It sounds like the resin may be thick and is not penetrating the silk all the way and that's why you can see it. All brands are different and the resin reacts different.

[@nadastankovic5245]

Salma, I’m a licensed hairstylist and for nails. I do get my products professionally from Cosmoprof and other places, as well as Sally Beauty Products, which you don’t need a license, I love Sally’s. if you’ve never done silk wraps or fibreglass buy the less expensive kit and give it a go. I tried it and did find it time consuming and hard at first. I practised and did a really good job after practise. The professional kits difference is the quality of glue and activator. Get the strips that you cut yourself instead of the ones precut. You can costemize the wrap yourself. My personal opinion is all systems are good for nails it’s how you take it off you do damage and nail looks frail and awful. I do shellac and gellish and wonderful system but if you pick at it with your teeth or your fingers you’ll see the damage. It’s not even the files whether machine or not. Electric files can definitely burn your nail and weaken it I know cause it happened to me until I mastered it looks easy but I guarantee you it’s not. It’s picking at your nail and trying to remove it rather than soaking it or filing it the correct way. That’s only my opinion and experience and not everyone has to agree and you have a right to disagree. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@allisongood-loney9385]

Does this system have any form of acrylic in the ingredients? I had tried a new nail supply place and was sold a fake Chinese product instead of the name brand I asked for and developed an allergy to acrylic, I'm going nuts not being able to do my nails since I cut so much hair I keep getting my nails and they look horrible. I've been trying to find an alternative.

[@backscratchersvideo]

Allison Good-Loney, absolutely not. We sell quality products that contain only products listed on the ingredients. You are not the first story we have heard about "fakes". If you visit the Backscratchers website, you can locate a salon near you that uses professional Backscratchers products. Best of luck!

[@Katandfrank1]

why does it feels like it burns? i love these nails but it always hurt so much? What do they wrong?

+Kat'Lee Jones it means either the layer of resin you applied is too thick or you sprayed the activator too close

What is that you add on top of the fiber glass? Is it super glue?

[@backscratcherssalonsystems7608]

That would be our resin Stikr. We have a brush-on or traditional with a extender tip.

[@michellegancena]

what kind of spray is she using?

[@backscratcherssalonsystems7608]

It's called Kikr activator it dries the resin to a smooth finish. it comes in 2oz with pump sprayer and 8oz refill. Also a 6oz pressurized fine mist spray can. you can buy all of the products at www.backscratchers.com

Hello Stephen. Yes, this system creates very strong nails. The fiberglass is the strongest. Let me know what you think!

[@jackson842]

backscratchersvideo Yes, it works great for strengthening nails for fingerpicking (and I mean fingerpicking steel strings! They still can and do break/ wear down....but it's a simple matter to sand and apply more layers)
