[@francescacrookes9002]

Great video thank you. Been struggling with my own kit so your advice is greatly received xx

[@rebecca4983]

I brought this kit myself after reading your blog post a while back. I absolutely love it. I'm not trained either but I also would highly recommend the kit and bluesky polishes! I would love a video on how you remove because that is the only part I struggle with so any tips would be very much appreciated! Love the colours you have used! And random... but I love the chair in the background!! 😍😍

[@hannahm9490]

Loved this Amelia! I've been getting shellac for years! You have inspired me to maybe start doing my own xx

[@eleanor_s6272]

Thank you so much, been looking at gel nail kits and couldn't decide on which one. I'm definitely going to get this one. I would love to see how you remove the polish too. Thanks again for sharing.

[@xameliaxYoutube]

It's the best one I've ever used xax

[@baybeestella]

Beautiful colours 😍 great video thanks 😘👌

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Glad you liked it :) xax

[@kayleightaylor7238]

Thank you 😊

[@jasvirdhillon2655]

your nails looking amazing

[@poppywilson1962]

I would love to see a video of how you take it of x

[@jennilovegrove473]

Looking forward to seeing the removal vid and thank you 😀👍🏼

[@xameliaxYoutube]

It's already up :) xax

[@KarenBee]

I just discovered your channel, absolutely LOVE your content! I found it initially through your Kayla Itsines review FYI! Spent last night and this morning binge watching you videos. Just wanted to comment to let you know how much I'm enjoying your channel Xx - Karen

[@xameliaxYoutube]

This is amazing thank you so much hunny :) :) :) xax

[@Ellaryder]

Really helpful! I have this kit too :)

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Ah thanks Ella :) xax

[@whatlyddid]

I definitely need to try BlueSky, especially the copper glitter! Your hair looks especially lovely in this video, Amelia. I have noticed a bit of a lag in your videos and this can be because good editors can actually try *too* hard to perfect the video by blending the frame. It's not a big deal but if it does bother you then you can try downloading a plug in to disable deinterlacing/frame blending xx

[@xameliaxYoutube]

+WhatLydDid Hey lovely, thank you, I actually washed it today haha! I think the problem with the lag is actually he playback frame rate, for some reason KZbin has started playing in lower quality automatically which causes a lag on my videos. Up to anything above 720p and it should fix it! Plus the quality will be better :) xax

[@staceysmith831]

This is great.. Definitely a soak off one too please.. Once pay day is here I'm all over this 😊💅🏼

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Well worth the payday treat xax

[@kellykirkham6241]

Would love to see how you remove them as I get bored with nail colour a lot so would love the option to change it without paying to remove it x

[@elledelia]

Great video, you are so cute & love your personality! Really helpful ♡

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Ah glad you liked it :) xax

[@joannas-ka6810]

My friend is convincing me to try gel nails. It really looks easy and non-problematic. I would also really like to see how to remove them. And, as always, nice video! Have a nice day Amelia :)

[@xameliaxYoutube]

You should definitely give it a go! xax

[@Sassylittlenails37BlogspotCoUk]

I'd love to see how you remove them? great video xxx

[@paninini]

In Chile we use the brand blue sky as profesional gel polish is cheaper and the quality is amazing! and they have such a huge range of colors!

[@xameliaxYoutube]

That's amazing! You're right, they are fab! xax

[@Dollydaydreamer86]

Hi Amelia Thank you for doing this video. I would love to see one on how you remove your gel nails. I have always painted my own and have never had them done at a salon purely because of the cost and having to book in regular appointments etc. However I have been thinking for sometime now about getting an at home gel nail kit because a) I'm not bad at doing my own nails b) it costs less in the long run and c) they last much longer then normal polish (mine normally last between 4-6 days) also you dont have to faff with lots of regular appointments! I have been unsure about which one to get and whether they are any good as its alot of money to spend on something I may or may not use if it doesn't work well. However this video has made me want to take the plunge and buy a kit so thank you! You make it look so easy and I appreciate your honest feedback. Great video X

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Oh definitely recommend this one, sounds like it will be PERFECT for you! xax

[@MadebyLauraJay]

can you do a video on how to remove gel nails? i always pick mine because i dont like messing about with foil. noones got time for that!

[@cheekycherry83]

When you applied the top coat do you not have to cure it? I have just bought my starter kit, so excited! xx

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Yep - cure the final coat then you're done! xax

[@ljackson8634]

I just found your channel and love 💗 Binge watching !!! What is the name of this kit? The link wasn’t working ⭐️

[@xameliaxYoutube]

So glad you enjoy 😊 there’s lots of kits by Mylee - just pick the one that suits your needs and comes with the things you’d like. The link is working my end, maybe it doesn’t ship to your country? If you click it and then just search ‘mylee nail kit’ it should bring up products available to shop in your country 😊xax

[@melissabechaz8579]

Yes please for a removal video!

[@xameliaxYoutube]

:) xax

[@hollynadin7941]

Would love to see how you remove it. I tend to pick mine off Xxxxx

[@jennacrookston]

Holly Nadin if it helps I bought a little tray from Superdrug that you can fill with acetone and you can just soak your nails off in that. X

[@hollynadin7941]

Thank you x will have a look around x

[@AmySarahx]

I use the same ones as you and cnd as well but I find they don't last very long as they peel to quickly, do you have any tips to stop them peeling. Think I'm doing something wrong 😂😂x

[@xameliaxYoutube]

I'd say just to make sure you're prepping properly and capping the ends with colour and top coat :) But I don't have any issues with mine, maybe the polishes need replacing? xax

[@rhianjones3047]

I love your tutorial videos especially the chatty ones!! Would you possibly do a body shop haul/tutorial for holiday skin prep?? I remember you mentioned a body shop party in one of your older videos. They have some lovely new products and very affordable as normally have a big discount online!! Love yours, lose it like Lauren and rosijaypierces channels!! Xxx

[@rhianjones3047]

P.s I don't work for body shop! 🙈😂

[@kellysummers9851]

I would love to see you remove gel nails too xx

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Noted :) xax

[@TheLFREDiaries]

Do you film all your vlogs/videos with the Canon 600D? I'm looking for a quality and effective vlogging camera xx

[@xameliaxYoutube]

This is with the Canon 600D - my vlogs are with a Canon GX7 xax

[@strawbschan]

I have a kit as well..not this one though I think mine is the Orly brand and when i'm curing my nails it really hurts! I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

[@sferrell9]

Loved this video!! I’m thinking about investing in a kit to do my own gel manicures at home. Your nails look beautiful! I kept looking to see what the name of this kit is and couldn’t find it. Can you please tell me the brand? Thank you!

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Everything I have used is linked in the description bar :) xax

[@nohemimartinez5169]

xameliax what is the brand? The link in the description does not work

[@lindsayb4423]

Would like a removal video too. I tend to pick them off and then have awful nails for weeks! Also, what do you do to repair one or two chips? Thanks :)

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Okie dokie! I just re-do that nail as they're so quick to do :) xax

[@deborahsbeautytreatments1533]

You'll do me out of a job, haha!! I charge £25 for CND Shellac btw! I've got that colour on at the moment - it's called Field Fox. You mentioned about not wearing it constantly - CND shellac you can as nails don't breathe (they're essentially dead!) - it's the acetone from removing that can dry them out a bit but so long as you take good care, you should be fine. You've done a good job though - your nails look lovely! Xx

[@xameliaxYoutube]

+Deborah's Beauty Treatments still can't beat a good pamper at the salon though :) ah that's handy to know about the nails, lots of oil then and maybe a day's break between to let the nail beds rehydrate would you say?xax

[@deborahsbeautytreatments1533]

xameliax yes, that's right. I use CND's Solar oil - smells like Battenberg cake! But you can use any cuticle oil - or even olive oil you use to cook with or coconut oil. Just keep them hydrated. & always use hand cream daily xx

[@nancydee6106]

Your accent is so beautiful 😍

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Awwww thank you Nancy! xax

[@charlottewilliams4528]

What lamp is that one your using? I have a Mylee lamp but it does not look like your one, should I be using the one you have?

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Any LED lamp will be fine! 😊xax

[@charlottewilliams4528]

xameliax Thank you! Xxx

[@sassyslimes1410]

Can u plz do a vid for short gel nails plz

[@xameliaxYoutube]

It's pretty much the same my love - just make sure you use an orange stick to get off any excess gel from your fingers before curing :) xax

[@sassyslimes1410]

Thanks so much I love ur vids so much x

[@RedStrawberries88]

would love a removal video! x

[@xameliaxYoutube]

It's on it's way! xax

[@freedamandem]

how long do you leave them to cure for?

[@xameliaxYoutube]

It depends on which brand of gel you're using. My kit has one setting for curing and it works very well - I think it's about 30 seconds xax

[@NichiFi]

Hi Amelia! Are you going to make a video on how you take the gel nail polis off? Thanks! Love your videos! 😉

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Will do :) xax

[@gottalaugh9]

What’s the best grade of file to use?

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Nothing too harsh on your natural nails - you need a buffer really xax

[@bernadettewarren6599]

I can’t find the details of the kit you use please can you post Irvin the reply. I am sight impaired so it would be easier for me please if you could do it that way. Many thanks for the great video

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Hello Bernadette/Irvin - This is the kit I use: tidd.ly/a5ab6310

[@MinecraftGod-oh8kd]

Please could I see how to remove the gel polish

It will be coming in in 2018! ☺️xax

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Well you're in luck because I filmed it! You can find the video on my channel :) xax

[@dawnwhyatt9346]

Would like a removal vid. The list of equipment you used did not show for me?? Also I know its not nail related but could you do some style tutorials as you always look stunning ♡♥♡

[@dawnwhyatt9346]

Sorry Amelia I just found the list, doh!!

[@samanthawilcox34]

The supplies you use are no longer available, do you still use these and if so where can I buy them, and if not, what do you use now? I was trying to buy the wipes and top/base coats.

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Hi Samantha, bit confused here as all the links in my info box are working for me and showing the products in stock - is this not the case on your end? If you click the link for the wipes or top/base coat it should take you to the page to buy them. If they’re not available in your country on that specific page then you can just click the link and then search on the website for another seller who may ship to your country 😊xax

[@samanthawilcox34]

@@xameliaxKZbin Mylee Nail Gel Polish Prep Wipe + Remover Cleanser UV LED Manicure Acetone 250ml by Mylee is no longer available. Do you have another suggestion? Also, you were right about the different country thing. I see now :) Thank you

[@xameliaxYoutube]

If you click the link and then use the search bar at the top you should be able to find the same product from a different seller, they’re a pretty well known brand. If not any gel nail remover and prep solution should work fine 😊xax

[@samanthawilcox34]

Lint Free wipes link doesn't work :)

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Again it's working for me! So strange. Must be an outside the UK thing. But you can just search at the top to find other sellers in your country who might sell them xax

[@Sophie-jn6qq]

Can you use other gel polishes with this?

[@xameliaxYoutube]

I assume so as long as they're cured under UV light! xax

[@jessicab1600]

Please do removal x

[@selinawells9901]

While I enjoyed her tutorial, I wished that we had a closer view to watch how she painted her nails!

[@xameliaxYoutube]

You’re in luck! I have another video on how to paint neat cuticles - which shows an up close version of exactly how I paint my nails! Enjoy 😊💕xax

[@stevenshaylerhodes]

These are NOT gel nails. These are natural nails with gel polish. There is a huge difference.

[@xameliaxYoutube]

In the UK (not sure about the rest of the world) but we reference gel cured polish as ‘gel nails’. Maybe you’re referring to nail extensions which are fake nails sealed with gel or acrylic? Or ‘Fake Nails’ which are complete nails glued onto the whole natural nail? Either way we call these gel nails and most people seem to understand :) xax

[@cazzawee]

gel nails... nails that have gel on them... yep, these are gel nails! :) ok steven
