[@thatstiffanyblue]

Someone professional finally answered my questions about filling acrylics with gel. Thank you!

[@torreyvest987]

Same for me! I’m going to start filling my acrylics at home with gel.

[@autumn7ful]

Sweetie you are the first one to explain the red and blue marks on bits. So informative and love your in-depth explanation. Love the video❤️🌹👍

[@Nailcou]

Thanks, Janice!

[@Lizzibeth21088]

Absolutely wonderful to watch. Such clean and precise work!

[@Nailcou]

Thank you so much Liz! Love your channel 💓

[@megansmith1382]

Right! I watched one of her shows and now im binging on them haha I cant get enough. Its truly so satisfying to watch.

[@FunkyShy]

Hu Anastasia, did you know that you're the only one that takes the time and gives answered back to your viewers. I have respect for that!🙏🏼 now said that, i love your vids and always looking forward to your new nail turtorial. I have been doing nails for over 30 years and Im still learning and practising. 32 years ago there was only acrylic and handfiles lol, no gel, no electric files etc etc only acrylic and sjabloon (nailsticker)🤭 now in this millennium with so many millenium nailtechs there's so much going on and there's so much new nailproducts in the nail world. I have one question, since i only do acrylic, what's the differents between hard and soft gel? When do you use what on nails. And how much do you charge for those beautiful nails. When are you coming to Amsterdam city in the Netherlands?😁i will give you a tour/sight seeing through Amsterdam city😎Bless You Anastasia keep doing the good work 💅🏼💋

[@Nailcou]

Thank you very much! Hard gels are for extensions mostly, soft gels for natural nail overlays. For one color infill I charge $80. I've been to Amsterdam couple times and actually it was my first destination for international nail competition back in 2007 😊 I would love to come again, as soon as I'll have some trip planned.

[@lotuskaye6818]

I really like watching you remove the old gel design with the drill. It's like asmr. 😂 I just subbed, you're very informative and the nails looked great.

[@u2bleas]

Love listening to your voice.

[@Nailcou]

Thank you, Jodie!

[@cattleyaoscar1805]

Really enjoyed watching this video thanks for sharing

[@alexiamady]

I love your tutorials always so informative! I'm a nail technician for approx. 6 years, and struggle mostly with time! How long would you say a regular refill like this should take? Do you have any tips and tricks on getting the service done faster. I'm a perfectionist, and this would take me around 2 hours with similar cuticule work, closer to combination cuticule work since I lift with bit and then cut with nippers. I would love to see a video where you include how long each step should take and what to do to save time. Thank you so much, and again, I love your work! With love from Canada 🇨🇦

[@angelart297]

love it😊

[@cassidytaylor3498]

Hi! Did you do a soft gel and a hard gel? Or was that a very thin layer of hard gel before you went in and filled it with the beads?

[@santiedewaalmalan8531]

Beautiful 🌹

[@simplymarvelous4130]

Thank you this what I need well done 👏

[@robervalmarinho-ei8ok]

i love it thanks

[@Hopeandpeaceinjesus]

Russian nails are always amazing, meanwhile in Scotland you can’t get smoothed nails, an apex or nail art (that’s more that 1 stone per accent nail) - I now do my own and may not be great but at least there is length, structure and nail art etc as I want it. I struggle with shaping and filing as my hands are bad from a disability.

[@Nailcou]

Wow, interesting.

[@moonamir9333]

Thank you 💞can't with until the next video:))))

[@Nailcou]

You're welcome! Coming up tomorrow

[@walkingpureheart4330]

Thank you so much!

[@walkingpureheart4330]

Which bits do you suggest for filing gel and acrylic, for lifting, taking products off, etc? Which grades, fine, medium, ect?

[@divm8559]

where to buy these bits. which store will you recommend for good quality bits, with international shipping? tfs

[@julyaalter2930]

Hi Natalie, how long does it take for you to do the whole process, from removal of old colour/product, mani, new gel application, colour and design? I have been doing nails for just over 2 yrs, and the whole process still takes me about 2.5 hours.

[@Nailcou]

Julya Alter hello! This one took me 2 hours as there were no problems - no cracks / broken nails etc. but it depends. Sometimes it takes longer

[@TLinhNLe]

Question for both... Who you charged the same price for infill+paint -design as normally priced or more consered time spent on 1customer was2-2.5hrs?

[@julyaalter2930]

Linh Le, I charge the same for refills, you still have to do full prep, remove colour and some product and reapply gel and design. Thant’s my take on it, let me know what your options is? Thx

[@iPod27777]

Thanks for the video. Could you do a video how to speed up the infill process? need to get faster. thank you very much

[@Lifted11]

Beautiful work 💖 would it be possible to do a thin layer of hard gel then use a colour acrylic on top and then build with the hard gel?thanks xx

[@Nailcou]

Hm.. Yes, absolutely. But after gel - remove sticky resisude + buff before applying acrylic on top

[@Lifted11]

Thank you sweetie 😘 I will be using akzentz trinity because it’s an amazing product and my lady is very hard on her hands with her job so I’m hoping it will stay put and not chip like the gel polish does 💖

[@queenkitiara0129]

Is the design done with gel polish or regular nail polish?

[@mamr1794]

Anastasia, Which drill bits are you using in this video? I would like to use the same ones. Thank you.

[@admiraferizovic3556]

hello sweety ,where we can get the link about nails drill bits?

[@barbaradorinacsatari3074]

👋🏻 Hello Where do you buy the cone bit from, please?

[@andrew_sar]

What kind of powder would you use to dry out a moist cuticle before an e-file manicure? Baby powder?

[@Aussiescrapper]

Hi Anastasia. love your videos and being learning as much as I can. I am currently doing a nail techinican course but i would love to start practising acrylics but i dont want to to them on people just yet. Can you practice on a dummy hand and then remove them. My course at the moment is all about infections and infection control etc with some easy manicure and pedicures but i want to start practisicing acyclics on a dummy or whatever you recommend

[@Nailcou]

Yes, you can use plastic hand for practice, absolutely

[@heavenlymaderebornbabies3536]

Hello! What type of e file are you using? I bought a 500$ one but it’s still not strong enough for my taste....I takes forever to remove the gel polish.any tips?

[@purpleslippers8]

I did not find a link in your list for the two ball bits you used for the cuticle towards the end. Could you refer me?

[@raquelfreeman81]

Hello I am new at doing my own nails. I have have 2 issues and was wondering if you have any tips. My gel overlay keeps popping off and I am having trouble building up the gel on my new growth of my nail. It seems very flat always I can clearly see where the new growth and the old set meet. Could you please give me some tips on how to fix these issues?

[@emilpiankowski8565]

Good job! 😂💅🏼 how much time do you need to do a regular infill with gel?

[@Nailcou]

This one 2 hours with filming. Without recording about 1-1,5 hours

[@cherylstevens5131]

Course I’m a beginner but how do you take it off so smoothly, does it just come with practice ??

[@EmmaKumaSama]

Keep the natural nail helps your client grow healthy nail bed and hyponychium. Also help balance the artificial nail strength, decrease the chance of whole nail break off since the ahensive surface is bigger. And you can’t tell if there is a secret lifted spot hide underneath the nail edge if you fill from bottom especially when you use non transparent builder gel just like what you used in this video. If there is, it will cause artificial nail lift or moisture trap there which can cause nail mold and other nail disease. Nail technician should always encourage client’s nature nail growth by each appointment, that’s apart of our professional ethics. The correct way of refill is always fill down instead of fill up, in that way you get chance to clean the edge of the nail and reahensive if necessary. It takes extra time to do but so worth it.

[@Nailcou]

I have a different opinion on that. Filing too deep and hurting hyponychium is definitely bad and shouldn't be done. When few clients made me keep their natural nail underneath - we ended up with product lifting in the middle and very untidy look. Also, if nails grow downwards - keeping the nail will make gel / acrylic nails also have this "growing downwards" look each time, which will get lower and lower with each infill. But thank you for your comment! I appreciate opinions with thoughtful explanations 😘

[@EmmaKumaSama]

Nailcou I agree with you when nail grown downwards, but that’s a relatively rare case and mostly happens on index finger only, and does not require such a deep file. I did not experience any product lifting in the middle of nail case by encourage nail growth. Nail health is always what I consider most important.

[@fatmasaghraoui2190]

I would like to ask you please i had accrylic nails extentions and i went to do refill after three weeks but by mistake they did hard gel refill on them im wondering if its okay or will this harm my natural nails somehow ?

[@jackiea4077]

For filing under the nail wouldn't be hard to do it for people with excessive skin growth under the nail?

[@Nailcou]

Yes, simply don't get too close to the skin

[@sofieflores21]

Hello, question: where do you get the bits to do the manicure?

[@maggierandall3520]

Can you in infill acrylic nails with acrygel please

[@stephaniedoye7032]

Bonjour merci pour cette video ses un remplisage de combien de weekend ?

[@Nailcou]

sorry I only understand Russian or English

[@Tata-iu3fy]

My nails grow that much in about a week. She is lucky to be able to go three weeks and not have it look like she needs a fill. Just some cuticle care. ☺️

[@Alexandra_Hill]

I'm the same...

[@Nailcou]

The secret is also in super close application of gel Polish to the cuticle 🤭😉

[@GlitterismyCRACK]

I never understand why clients want me to leave the natural nail underneath. Then I have to explain WHY it needs to be removed if they are going to sit in my chair. 😉 XOX Luna 💅🏻

[@AriesLaZuriUhuru]

I like to grow out my natural nails so if my nail Tech continues to file down my natural nails underneath, my natural nails will never grow out.

[@anh7807]

I grew out my natural nail this way. Started with acrylics until my nails grew the length I like, then we went onto a hard gel after a few fills. Eventually, I will completely get rid of the fake nail tips and only have my real nail protected by builder gel. It works for those of us whose nails refuse to grow with out help.

[@lisamcgrath9314]

Hey Natalie how do u take care of glitter nail

[@Nailcou]

Lisa McGrath used clear gel On it 😉

[@androniki4022]

Hello Anastasia. Thanks for the video and your help 😘 One question please. How much we should charge for the infill? How much is the difference from bilding full set? Thanks

[@Nailcou]

Hello! I charge almost the same price, 80% 100$ full set, 80$ for infill

[@androniki4022]

Thanks Anastasia 🌹💖

[@patriciagallacher6741]

You said blue is coarse, in the UK green is course. Great video and information as always thanks.

[@Nailcou]

Thank you! Yeah, I meant blue is coarse compared to red. But yes, green is next one and more coarse than blue. Sorry for the confusion.
