Katie! Thank you for posting about encapsulating short nails! Not everybody can wear the long nails but still like the look of chunky glitter in clear gel! Beautiful job!😊

[@Uniquenailsbybrie]

Not an easy task to do, a lot of glitter can stick up if it's placed at a bad angle. These came out fabulous, wonderful narration too!

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Thank you! ❤️❤️

[@HBW497]

Love your professionalism and talent!

[@Lovelynailloft]

Oh my gosh you have no idea how long I’ve needed this video! Short nails I’m always struggling with but this helps so much!! Thank you!

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

I’m glad it was so helpful! ❤️☺️ thank you for watching

[@arlineandrews7619]

me too

[@miriamm3780]

You always make things look so easy! Thank you for showing us how this is done. I'm going to try this for my next mani! 💕💕

[@juliejewels3945]

I always enjoy your videos. I love 💘 how the free hand or star glitter gives it that extra beautiful finish.

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Thank you! Those glitters really make it pop ✨

Thank you!! 😊

[@krissynddd8642]

Awesome video!! Sooooo helpful.

[@Kari-0503]

I love your creative nail art and designs. It’s been very helpful for me I’m getting ready to go to my nail supply store. And you helped me learn how to do all those fun designs I see but had no clue how it worked. I had bought for fall the orange leaves you have in another video. Had no idea I needed to file it down, and they were very sharp popping out. Now I feel confident to retry them because I learned from your video you just need to file them down. Your nails look amazing and thank you 10000% for your videos. By the way, you explaining it is so helpful. There are videos that speed through and don’t say not a word. Your words are so helpful!

[@marshapeckham1454]

I would love to see a video of a full set of hard gel nails with tips and also how do you remove hard gels.

Great job! Someday maybe I’ll put a sticker on my glitter gifts. The chunky was one you got from me. They are custom mixes and not available for purchase, only as a gift with orders :)

I figured it was from you! 😆 they are a highlight when opening my box and they definitely get used! ❤️

Absolutely fabulous nails, TYFS!!! I so wish Akzentz sold to everyone!!! Just because I’m not a nail tech doesn’t mean I don’t want beautiful sparkle nails!!!

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

There are some other great gels you can get that are sold to the public. ☺️ I would check out Young Nails. Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@chaozinga]

Red Iguana has launched her own gel brand, you don't have to be licensed to purchase from her website. I've heard great things about her gels! 😊

[@snappiersocks]

Love your work! What grit nail file do you use please?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

100/180 zebra file

[@kathykov1]

Wow, you have an interesting way of holding your e-file. Great advice on getting the design down BEFORE applying gel. That's what I do. Is the Luminary as runny or runnier than the Akzentz?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

I think luminary is runnier than the Akzentz. How do other people hold their efile?? 😆

[@kathykov1]

@@NailsByKatieDutra I hold it the same way I hold a pen. Pointer and thumb.

[@Earleyyourmean]

I love your channel! I looked through the comments to see if you left any follow up about putting the hard gel on top of the poly, do you have any feedback on that?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

I never had any issues ☺️

Hi Katie, I love your videos! Are Trinity gels HEMA free?

[@praxc6757]

Hey really loved ur video n smalls tips u provided... Do we need led uv light to dry that gel to encapsulate dat glitter thanks ❤️

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Hello! Yes the gel requires a curing light ☺️

[@praxc6757]

@@NailsByKatieDutra thanks sweetie 😊🤗

[@anneneilsing]

What can you use instead of glitter gel for the base where you stick the glitter on, can you use a clear builder gel?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

You can, the glitter just won’t be as concentrated looking

[@christinahagopian3435]

So pretty! How much do you charge?

[@angelajgonzales3840]

I would love to do these nails. Put I’m a DIY, no license. What is your suggestion for us at home use for the glitters?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Hello, you could try using any glitter gel polish and place the chunky glitter in that, or even just a clear gel and you can put the chunky glitter in that also. Hope that helps!

How did you pick up the stars with the dotting tool? My glitter doesn’t stick to the dotting tool :)

Touch the gel with it first and it will be sticky ☺️

What bit are you using to remove product??

Can we use soft builder gel instead of hard gel to encapsulate?

I don’t see why not ☺️

What brand of hard gel do you use?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Akzentz :)

[@mandisunken4884]

Right before you applied the glitter you painted the soft pink gellish looking polish but it looked like it was thicker, almost acting like acrylic, I was just curious what that is called?

[@tabbyb3514]

It's Trinity hard gel, she listed the name and brand in the video but it was quick😄

[@gayleseybold4328]

What do you charge for polygel and glitter design?
