I like modelones products. Use them frequently. Love that you're always sharing tips & tricks, your experiences, and your ability to create nice nails. I see a lot of thick bulky nails these days, I don't like that.

[@Nailcou]

You are so welcome!

[@amymandeville8342]

This is one of my favorite gel brands. They're so easy to use! I love how your nails turned out.

[@ambercrago6052]

I've tried this brand 2x and it's cracked and eventually lifted/peeled. Any tips?

[@amymandeville8342]

@ambercrago6052 I've had gel peel, but never crack. I'm wondering if maybe you got a bad batch.

[@jenwystory]

Thank you for breaking down these application concepts with the 4-in-1. This is really a great product. I've been doing my own nails for a few years now, and honestly, I've never left a space between my cuticle and the nail tip. I'm not sure why I've never done this before, but it makes perfect sense. Brilliant idea! I'll admit, I'm not the best at keeping air bubbles out, and this technique made the application process so much easier. Thanks again! 👏❤

[@Mir_Nohti]

Thanks for the review. I've been eyeing that "Champagne On Ice" cube for a while and saw a $2 coupon for it today so snatched it up! I used their "pearl" cube to layer over different colored neons for the tips of my current spring mani. I'd LOVE for them to come out with a single, larger-volume palette "cube" of things to use as toppers. THAT would be exciting for me! LOL These nails ARE "so you:" JUST BEAUTIFUL! 😍🥰💖

[@EveHyland-in8jb9ti9y]

GORGEOUS!! ❤Set as always Anastasia. I loved the finished flawless look and they most certainly suit you. Blessings to you and your loved ones from Scotland . 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌹

[@SueKnigge]

Pretty nails, and again... really happy you show doing your own nails on yourself. SO helpful! 😊

[@Nailcou]

Thank you! 😊

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

Ooooh, I'd love to see that white pearl color over a black! I bet it's gorgeous! I remember one of your first videos using Modelones products. It was a kit of 6 solid gel polishes in bright neon colors. They were the ones in the little individual pink pots. That video has a special place in my heart because I ended up buying that same set after watching your video and that was my first set of gel polishes! I still have them in my drawer in my nail desk and they're still in good shape and I still use them lol. Hope you're settling in to your new place! ❤❤❤

[@loritrent9780]

Love watching your tutorials because of how informative you are with products and technics. I LOVE Modelones and just purchased the builder kit last week and was getting ready to redo my nails. Thanks for the great tip on placing the gel tip not so close and using the builder gel. F.Y.I. if you prime the gel brush with base gel before using the solid cream gel it glides on smooth like butter! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing more nail art.

[@nancybrown2609]

Your nails are absolutely gorgeous!!! I ordered all the madelone products to try at home. This video was incredibly helpful; you think of everything to explain to a beginner! Thank you!!

[@pamluxford5854]

Beautiful!! Exactly the colour I do my nails on many occasions.

[@nailsofinterest]

[@stephaniesihpol8553]

Beautiful! You make it look so easy. I struggle. I love Modelones, I’m going to look for this kit. Thank you!

[@JiJi009]

When you open the boxe that was the first color to catch my eyes! Haha so happy you tried it! It looks fantastique !

[@katladragen7435]

That is just Gorgeous! And yes, I think the nail look is very you!! You are so beautiful, and your calmness is making me calm too. I also love Modelones, they were the first building products I tried. Thank you for all the information. Hug from Katla Dragon in Norway

[@sarahkay333]

Great video. Thanks for showing how to use the builder gel. I think I could do this but not sure I could on my dominant hand...I'll need to practice.

[@carltongirl95]

Beautiful nail's as always Anastasia I didn't know Modelones had soft gel tip's I'll have to check that out lol...I love Modelones I have a few of those cube's but not that one and that gel paint is stunning and so much easier than a chrome powder...the thing I love about Modelones is they're very well priced so the home user can afford them and yes their polishes have improved so much over the last few year's...thankyou for sharing and Happy Easter xo 💜💅💜

[@Vlex24]

Oh my...this is so pretty! I have really weak nails and I've been thinking of trying builder gel to help them grow. Although I haven't considered using tips, this looks like it's not too difficult.

[@nataliebarron5245]

We don’t have this in our country but I am tots using this method when doing gel x nails.

[@Veronica-go9xy]

I have missed getting my nails done, and finally just started doing them myself. I tried Beetles PolyGel and didn't like it. I then bought some Modelone and absolutely better. Harder and easier to use. I am by no means a professional but the product makes it look like I am! Thank you for this video. I am going to look for that cube, that iridescent one is beautiful!

[@cecilialopez1001]

That’s the way I always do my nails cool!!!

Beautiful nails. ❤products from modelones.

[@zeekay153]

Super cute 😊 I also use Modelones products ☺️

[@nadastankovic5245]

Anastasia, you’re the best. I’m going to buy this especially for my daughters. The champagne palette and such beautiful nails, almond is my choice but my girls love square long. I’ve been doing nails at home for some time. Can you share your opinion of using the led/uv nail lamps. There are videos out there more than ever about getting cancer of the nail when using these machines. I’ve been using these nail curing machines over 20 years. Is there some truth to this. Acrylic system does not use the curing nail lamps but I still love gels over acrylic or acrygel. Thank you.🙏🏻

[@elliea.2519]

As usual this is a beautiful set, Anastasia! Thank you for sharing! 😍 Are Modelones gel products HEMA-free?

[@Virgo_Beauty09]

Your nails came out so nice.What did you use to take the sticky layers off the nail rubbing alcohol or acetone?

[@buni9822]

Very Pretty

[@lilpuffykinks]

Beautiful ❤❤❤

[@Nailcou]

Thank you ! 😘

[@chriswedmore]

That color reminds me of the Cotton Candy color I used to get over My Air Brushed French Tip designs back in the day (1990’s, 2000’s) lol oh we have come so far!!

[@olihurault9740]

Thank you for this great video! Can you please tell me where did you buy your cuticules scisors ? Wish you a nice day! Kiss from Swiss 😘

[@ArchipelaRHODE]

If i am new to this and I dont have the drill bits- is it okay to still apply the gel since its more or less self-leveling?

[@lindapowell4569]

Very nice

[@debrapierce5537]

Can I ask how long do they normally last when you do them this way? I definitely need to try this. There so beautiful

[@shannarafannailandbodyart9808]

I have wide thumbs that are a little wider than the biggest tips. Size 0 still leaves a tiny gap. Is there a way to fix this? Some tips I can move slightly away from the cuticle and they will fit side to side. Is this my only option besides sculpting the thumb? Thank you for your videos and advice. You’re awesome.❤

[@annaconway7009]

Have you ever used Orlyfx builder in a bottle? If not try it, you'll LOVE it!!!!! Just as strong as hard gel but easier to apply and it's self leveling.❤👌

[@Nailcou]

I'll check it out!

[@rebeccamuir3464]

Thanks

[@Nailcou]

Thank you so much! 😘

[@Ms_Lone_Wanderer]

Do you have a link to the silicone brush you use?

[@sonjakeesee6977]

I guess all I can really say is Amazon here I come just getting into doing my own nails so I’m excited

[@crystalc27]

hi! Do you have a video where you build the tip?

[@ravenreese]

Those nails are definitely you!!

[@CB-ck2cy]

Can you link the base coat 4 in one gel please ❤

[@amandagranados20]

Are you curing after the first coat before putting the artificial nail on and curing again? I thought you said 30 seconds but wasn’t sure if it was before or after the fake nail went on.

[@dcordero1984]

Can we file down the base of the tip to blend into natural nail before applying?

[@user-nw2lr7fn4w]

Hello! I can't seem to find this exact set on the website! Does anyone have a link at all!!? :) xx

[@lisamcgrath9314]

I personally agree with you

[@lotusflower8405]

I have their builder gel in the bigger packaging and for some reason it just peels from my nail in one piece. It doesn’t matter how much I cure or prep it, it just peels off easily. Do you have any recommendations to prevent it from happening? Thank you

[@kayleighcounsell8814]

Same thing happens to me.

[@aggelikisirma3608]

Hello Anastasia. Very beautiful result! But, I am a bit confused. I thought that when we work with gelly tips, after we apply them on the nails with base coat they're ready for gel polish or design and top coat. Do we have to build the structure with hard materials such as gel or acrygel ? Or what you did on the video was just an option? I would really appreciate your help/reply

[@ohmavvy]

imo because the softgel tips were not fully placed up to the cuticles, the risk of breaking the nail/extension is higher because of the application. but here as what Anastasia did, she filed the lip of the softgel tip and filled the empty space with builder gel. i think this helps in adhesion and proper structure of the nail. and to answer your question if it is necessary to build the structure (I'm assuming the apex) then the answer would be yes.

[@Nailcou]

Yes, correct! It is just an option on how you can use builder gel. I showed another option to use soft gel tips too - didn't apply them all the way tp the cuticle, so it's better to add gel near the cuticle too. But if you apply the tips in a regular way, you can apply color gel polish on top of the tips, no need to use builder

[@marielanders4806]

​@ohmavvy You don't have to build structure when you apply them. You can use colored gel polish or regular polish after applying. They still last for 2-3 weeks. Hope this helps.

[@anwlaw]

Does the gel polishes dry out since they are only in compact form?

[@user-lz3xe6xw4q]

Great question! Sadly no one replied!

[@thatyellowegyptiancat3281]

is there a difference between builder gel and rubber base gel?

[@sweetnonh7190]

when i apply builder gel on top of full tips same method you showed it peels off when its time to file it! any tips how to fix that?

[@sunnydaze5674]

Do you need to buff off the shine before adding builder gel?

[@Nailcou]

Yes, if the tips are not matte / pre etched , it’s better to buff them first

[@bnailed6035]

#nailco I'm hoping that you can do a video for shaping I seem to have some problems with shaping I want to be able to do most of the work with electrical efile

[@DIAMONDGIRL57]

Would like to see how you hold the nail under the lamp to cure the top into place without getting air bubbles. The gel glue always slides out of place before I can cure it into place.

[@GuidetteExpert]

How long do they last?

[@ambercrago6052]

My nails seem to still be bendy after builder gel. Do you think that's normal? It even seemed like they were hard and then softened after 1 day

[@iroskamapplebeck2857]

Would you be willing to show a dry manicure without e-file? Or in order for it to be a dry manicure is e-file a must? I’m nail enthusiast and I don’t like using e-file, not enough practice with it. Thank you in advance I love your videos very informative

[@abbyquiambao3050]

How long does this normally last with the gel x? Beautiful nails, as always!

[@vegan_guac]

I don't think she's used gel x in any of her previous videos 🤔

[@sonjakeesee6977]

Hasn’t even been a year 11 months since you posted this and I went to see about the builder gel kit and they I don’t know if if they don’t have it or what it is but I get an error code
