How To Do Gel X Nails USING THE OVERLAY METHOD | Step by Step | gel x nails tutorial

[@ariiana.nicole]

Let me know what you think! Bridal Nails or Not? 😂

[@natalied662]

they do look like bridal nails cause thats what i was thinking before you even mentioned it lol, but super cute i'd wear them regardless!

[@Gemishell25]

It's def giving bridal. I would probably add a pop of pink or something to make it lean more romantic. They're cute no matter what tho.❤

[@jarred4612]

They do give bridal. But so did the necklace you drew inspiration from 😂.

[@LoneRodeoJones]

I saw these and thought bridal ! They’re gorgeous!! I was thinking of doing this when I got married, but let’s be real. I know it would have taken me too long to execute lol

[@owbeautiful]

Yes that’s the same thought I had too…. Bridal!!! Love it 😍😍Really beautiful!! ❤❤

[@LoneRodeoJones]

@@owbeautiful they really are BEAUTIFUL!!!😻

[@brookewright9722]

Me too I was coming to say that lol they are gorgeous 😍😍😍

[@sebinaeady8857]

I really like this method...for me, it is a seamless method and gentle grow out. I enjoyed this very much, your voice is so soothing as well😊

[@ariiana.nicole]

Thank you so much!

[@mon6745]

Smart to encapsulate in hard gel 😊 eye protection is really good if the UV lights are being pointed in a way where the unfiltered light is shining in your eyes 💛

[@ariiana.nicole]

Great tip!

[@LoveratLoves]

I'm not keen on pearls - but I adore them on nails - these nails look great =) And thanks for the tips on using the overlay method much appreciated!

[@ariiana.nicole]

I'm the same way! I don't wear pearl jewelry often but love pearls on my nails !

[@Claw.u.next.tuesday]

Apres makes a really good one coat French tip white!

[@ariiana.nicole]

I've heard great things about their polish. I'll have to add some to my next order

[@iwantcrystals]

Beetles has a really good white polish for french. It kinda reminds me of Colorland Gel...which is discontinued 😫

[@PerfumedAndPolished]

So cute! They definitely look like bridal nails ❤

[@ariiana.nicole]

Thank you! 😊

[@Thedoll95]

I love this I usually put acrylic as a overlay to prevent lifting but builder gel is smarter. I’ll be trying this

[@ariiana.nicole]

Yes

[@patriciasamo3364]

Been doing those method for a few months but never knew how to clean the cuticles neatly. You just earned a subscriber. thank you!

[@ariiana.nicole]

Welcome 💕💕 thank you for subscribing

[@angel_arabella]

Just found your channel and going down a rabbit hole binge watching videos lol. These can definitely go for a bridal look. Enjoyed!

[@ariiana.nicole]

Yay! Thank you!

[@MusicLoverJenny]

I’m not a French tip girl but these I would wear to my wedding! So gorgeous ❤

[@ariiana.nicole]

Love that! Thank you☺️

[@fearlessemm]

love these so much!

[@JoliNatural]

Your voice is so soothing. Love your work!

[@ariiana.nicole]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Jay-kk1kv]

Omg! I was looking for reviews on this specific lamp! It looked interesting so I wanted to know if it works well

[@ariiana.nicole]

I really like it! I've had it for about 16 months and haven't had an issue. So far it has fully cured any gel polish I'ved used so far and the cordless feature is so useful.

[@cindyroycroft1273]

Great video! Thank you sooo much for showing mistake clean ups.

[@ariiana.nicole]

No problem! You just made me realize I need to show mistakes more often and how to navigate them. So thank youuu 💕

[@dea-deephinney6434]

These turned out beautiful 😍 and I really appreciated your descriptions and tips of the entire process! Bravo!❤

[@ariiana.nicole]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@kokobuttakisses]

Thank you for the IBD gel hack for the pearls! I’ve avoided wearing pearls due to that!

[@ariiana.nicole]

Yes! Give it a try 💕 it's helped me so much

[@charlottewhitehead7600]

Kirsy Meakin line is from the uk but the colors are all so opaque. Her white is called white out.

[@ariiana.nicole]

Ohhh will have to try that too! Thank you ❤️❤️

[@samoea19]

Omg i think your channel is what I've been searching for. yaaaaay❤

[@ariiana.nicole]

I'm so glad to hear that!

[@stephanierburl9945]

You are my instructor I love your videos!!

[@ariiana.nicole]

❤️❤️❤️

[@tonilarimore8863]

Great results! I was thinking romantic but I can see wedding as well. I guess it's perspective. As a side note, I really enjoyed how you explained everything. Your voice is very soothing and the vibe is calming. I liked it so much, I subscribed. Thank you!

[@ariiana.nicole]

Thank you! And you're right, it's all about perspective

[@pomfiyon3955]

I like gelish white polish a lot it's super nice imo

[@ariiana.nicole]

Thank you for sharing !

[@PaullaWells]

I use a white and black which can be bought as a set from Born Pretty. I found it on Amazon and honestly one coat is all that is needed from this polish. It is a thicker consistency. I think the nails came out very pretty. I can see why someone might think for a wedding or something like that, but I love them!

[@ariiana.nicole]

Thank you! 💕

[@None-gm4yk]

Pretty

[@reneechant28]

Very Beautiful!!!

[@ariiana.nicole]

Thank you so much 😀

[@misslilevee]

I have the Makartt French tip white polish and it works amazing for one coat😊

[@ariiana.nicole]

Thank you! I can't believe I didn't know about their polishes😩

[@misslilevee]

@ariiana.nicole they don't really show them on Amazon unless you go to their store front. It came with some French tip stickers I bought from them and I enjoy it. 😉

[@ariiana.nicole]

that makes so much sense why I've never seen them lol

[@misslilevee]

@@ariiana.nicole you're welcome 😊 🥳

[@reebryant8033]

Try using a gel paint instead of polish when doing ur French tip. Total game changer. Keep up the good work sis.

[@ariiana.nicole]

Thanks for the tip!

[@maryterry7608]

Valentino pure 45 is the perfect 1 coat white

[@ariiana.nicole]

Will definitely be giving that a try, thank you!

[@hjkhkjgjhk5710]

Beautiful ❤

[@ladenacrenshaw3258]

I love this look. SO FEMININE.

[@riquena]

Beautiful! you can try Melody Susie's new gel polish line. They're basically one coat from what I've seen!

[@ariiana.nicole]

I'll check it out! Thank you!

[@riquena]

@@ariiana.nicole yw!! it's called "Snow White" if you haven't already found it. :)

[@msqtpie1983]

Fennix nails have a good white polish

[@riyikefaleti1794]

This is a really good tip I never thought of using builder gel and I'm wondering if this will also work for jewels or shiny nail art adding the builder gel on top will it take away the shine?

[@ariiana.nicole]

Adding the builder on top of shiny jewels may take away the shine😭

[@jessieg1313]

I’m trying this out right now! I’m very very slow

[@ariiana.nicole]

Can't wait to hear how they turn out!

[@ASUPrincess08]

Valentino White has great 1 coat coverage

[@mickellac4562]

I really like these nails and I may do these for my wedding 😊 2026 bride💁🏾‍♀️

[@ariiana.nicole]

Omg, that’s so exciting ! Congratulations 🥂

[@antoinette9506]

Beetles have really good polish

[@ariiana.nicole]

I love their base colors!

[@HERDuh565]

would you recommend this dehydrator and primer over the aprés one?

[@manniilocs5973]

Gorgeous job but I was thinking these are gorgeous bridal nails

[@ariiana.nicole]

Thank you! 😊

[@clairechoo]

Use a nail art gel/paint, something specifically for gel painting. These tend to be super opaque for the folks who are painting character art etc where they can only paint a single layer so opacity is key. The Korean and Japanese brands tend to have them in pots like Dgel.

[@ariiana.nicole]

I've had my eye on Dgel for some time! I'll have to purchase !

[@chloekhaleesii]

Can you do a video on how to remove these? Since you do the overlay method :)

[@ariiana.nicole]

Sure thing!

[@ntombihadebe4822]

Oh yes these are bridal thanks ❤

[@ariiana.nicole]

💕💕

[@nancyhoover9160]

Try misady from temu very pigmented ❤

[@ariiana.nicole]

Thanks for the recommendation ❤️❤️

[@afomanebolisa4423]

I’ve watched a number of your videos and you’re really good, but do you ever have issues with breakage across the nail tip? I don’t know how to fix this. Thank you.

[@mamzellebeautylounge]

⭐⭐⭐⭐ VERY NICE !!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@angel_arabella]

I’ve been doing my nails again since Aug, I never tried to cure the gel on natural nails before placing acrylic nails. Does this help the nail bed? TY

[@ariiana.nicole]

It helps them last longer in my opinion

[@MilliaP]

Can I use nail glue to place the pearls?

[@ariiana.nicole]

Do you mean press on nail glue or gel nail glue?

[@baldnproud]

even if they did look bridal, even though I really didn’t think about it until you mentioned it, but even if they did it look bridal , so what some where bridal shoes sometime for going out to dinner I’ve seen them wear them. What do you think? Sparkly shoes are with her jeans 👖 people were bridal things for Evening where anyway, and besides that it’s Fashion, it’s what you perceived it to be, and I don’t think there is a nail police 👮 I really believe they’re beautiful for anytime you want to wear them, the nails are fabulous besides that I see people wearing pearls in the daytime sometime with casual clothes. Pearl necklace is not real. I see guys rocking, fake pearls for casual Expression, besides that it’s Fabulous! 🥰👩🏾‍🦲😘

[@vanessanessa7168]

MINE NEVER STAY GLUED ON. I WONDER WHY

[@Jay-kk1kv]

I could never get the damn ibd gel to cure. Idk what the problem was. I just tossed it out

[@ariiana.nicole]

I was having that issue until I bought a new lamp! Since then it hasn't given me any issues

[@Jay-kk1kv]

@@ariiana.nicole I ended up getting a new lamp too! But I haven’t repurchased the gel since then. But you’re right. It could have been my lamp. It was my first lamp, and it was cheap haha

[@shllewis9]

I thought they were bridal nails, i can see romantic in them as well.

[@B.Flower.92]

Bonitas🤍👰🏼‍♀️

[@PaperTigress]

[@wataviamarie9694]

Cute, classy, and romantic.🤎

[@Varietypressedboutique]
