🔺Today's Topic:
Are you struggling with gel nail lifting? Don't worry, it's a common issue that even the most experienced nail pros face sometimes. But with proper cuticle prep technique and some patience, you can minimize lifting and enjoy beautiful, long-lasting gel nails. The most prominent area for lifting is the free edge, but don't let that frustrate you. Keep practicing, and you'll master it in no time!
So, in today’s video, I’m here to help you with that by identifying three of the top mistakes that you may be making that are causing your gel nails to lift at the free edge.
When you’re ready, hit play!

Full coverage tips or full covers (most often and commonly referred to as Gel-X- however, Gel-X is the brand name of a full coverage tip line by the brand Apres) are the answer any time you need a quick service to take someone from short nails to long nails fast.
And for this reason they’ve become the go-to option for celebrity clients, special events, and also when nail techs want to fit extensive nail art into their service.
There are two ways to apply full covers.
-One way is the OG way that Apres Gel-X introduced, and that is by applying the tips all the way up to the cuticle area.
-The other way is to apply the tips approximately 2mm away from the cuticle area, and then blending and overlaying the new enhancement. This is the method we’ll be breaking down in this video.
Now while the concept of applying full cover tips seems easy. If you’ve ever given these a try yourself, you know they're not as easy to apply as it seems.
In today’s video I want to go over 5 mistakes that make this seemingly easy process a challenging one instead, so that you can get on to applying full cover tips fast and easy…

Thank you Marta! Always good to reed your msgs and feedback 💐

[@lizzienicki]

I definitely need to try this product out! Never been a fan of full coverage but this might be a game changer

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Not a huge fan myself, but if I need a quick set or a fix, they’re great right?

[@3lue5tar]

I need to order some GELIP MOCHI!✨ The amount of control you had while applying the tip…..yes I want try now! I took notes and even made little drawings for myself heh. Thank you for making this video!!

[@kimandrew1813]

Thank you so much! You are an amazing teacher

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Glad this was helpful!

[@kimandrew1813]

I am an absolute beginner and not sure I will start a nail business but I want to learn and do something creative. I wear salon gel nails and it gets expensive so, at the very least I will learn to do my own nails! Thank you so much, you are my number one inspiration.

[@nailthoughts]

yesssss!!!!!!!

[@violavalz6638]

Thanks for the content. I just joined and bought these items to try. I used your code ....this made it affordable especially since I'm trying it out.I will be tuning in.🙂

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Aw, thanks!

[@msyuliayusuf]

Omg this is THE product we all need! So glad kokoist has finally come up with it. Can’t wait to get my hands On these in Australia 😍😍 How long do we have to cure the mochi?

[@valiumrat666]

Can you overlay with hard gel even though you did your base with soft gel? Like you use a rubber base, gel tips, soak off builder gel but you do this method of sparing 2mm from the cuticle and overlay with… hard gel? Or is that not really done? Since putting hard gel over soft gel is like a no no?

[@julerry]

I bought the Kokoist Gelip Bond Base, Gelip Tips, Mochi, and Glossy No-Wipe Top Coat. I'm just not a fan of that rubbery hot glue feel of the Mochi once cured. It is not unlike off-brand "gel glue" for tips that I've tried. Being someone with very flat nails, I cannot avoid feeling the rubberiness under the free edge between the tip and the natural nail. I wish they could figure out how to engineer this product to cure harder like an actual soft gel...more like a hybrid gel, but for adhering gel tips. About a week after application, I cleansed under my free edges, applied Mega Stick Base, followed by Glossy No-Wipe Topcoat. It definitely felt much better, but that's a lot of extra work to have to do in order to be comfortable with the Mochi. Just my experience. Oh...I should mention that I did, of course, smooth the Mochi, wiping away any excess with my brush before curing. I am a licensed tech with some experience. I don't want someone to read my comment and assume that I just left excess Mochi under my free edges. ;)

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Thank you for sharing! I know what you mean. It’s almost like you have to seal any expose Mochi w/ Non-Wipe top to avoid that feel or stickiness. I personally don’t love full coverage tips, so 🤷🏻‍♀️ I like free forms and half tips and my potted soft gel builder 😊

[@jessicamaurelli5238]

Do yo have to cure the overlay before adding gel polish?

[@mynailfairy]

I wish I saw this before applying the gummy gel. I am about to lose it as it was so sticky and ended up with lots of bubbles. I will follow your method next time.

[@bluubird7077]

Hi, My thumb nails are 18 mm wide. Which full cover brand can I use that will cover my thumb nails?

[@melissajoseph5856]

One customer nails on her hand popped off with the mochi. It does not with the gelip bond base

[@FrenchTipsAndFrenchies]

Is it normal for the product to have a gummy consistency after curing? I even have the kokoist lamp so it’s not a brand inconsistency issue

[@PaolaPonceNails]

It is. So you want to make sure the Bond doesn’t seep out past the free-edge.

[@porscheamartin]

I tried this last week and it is easy to use although I’m unsure if my gel is fully cured. All of my other kokoist gels cure hard, but this one seems a little like putty.

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Yes, this one cures gummy-ish.

[@BellezaNatural.Haydee]
