I'm a nail tech and the STUNNING shape of your nails caught my eyes as I was scrolling videos. I watched the video twice and 3 times in parts lol but one thing I noticed is you don't actually create an apex, with an "apex bead" BUT you certainly have a beautiful apex when the nails are done lol. I'm not sure if your natural nails have a good apex to start with (and omg your nail beds are so nice) So I watched your 2nd and third layer application and I noticed 2 things that you may not realize you do; when you put the 2nd layer of gel you sort of pull the majority of your bed close to the stress point and thin it out as you "paint" and on the third layer your application of product gets less and less as you move to the tip but the most is again left before the stress point which essentially creates the apex. Both of those things are definitely helping to create that beautiful apex. I just wanted to mention this for people struggling with flat nails, and I myself and going to give your way a try too. My finished nails look great but its thanks to my filing and I think your way can reduce about 50 percent of my filing, thanks for the video

[@familyemail1833]

Sunnbuzz Everyone works different. Your comment is irrelevant

[@brittanakenlock4114]

Family Email yes her comment is very much irrelevant I fully agree

[@jessicaledoux3912]

Y’all don’t have to be rude. She was just adding another view. Big. Damn. Deal. Everyone does everything differently. Maybe the way she explained the apex, someone will understand better. Y’all apparently missed the point of commenting. It’s not just to be petty asshats. Go figure!

[@jaeda88]

I get your point, when I watched how she created her apex.. I thought that next time I do my nails I will give this way a try. The lady was, granted in a little long winded approach saying that she creates her apex differently, complimented her on the end result and said she will give it a try also. She was not being negative.

[@emeraldpeony]

Some people didn’t actually even read her comment I see 👀🤨

[@elliwelli7091]

New to hard gel with no training. Best video I’ve come across so far! Xx

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

I'm self-taught via KZbin (I only do my own nails) and I've really been struggling with my shaping. This video is going to be very helpful for me, I think. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate those shots down the barrel of your nail! Saving this video because I know I'll be referring back to it more than once!

[@progress1482]

This is the only PERFECT COFFIN NAIL SHAPE I've seen on KZbin. I dunno why everyone has the struggle to do it right.

[@Sunnbuzz]

I agree the side profile with that incredible apex is the best I've seen, most coffins from the side look like the free edges have been hacked slightly (its hard to explain but her free edges almost follow out from her natural sidewalls straight) they are beautiful

[@danielledukes7344]

You shouldn’t say that. It’s multiple reasons people may struggle. It’s hard for some & easy for others. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@jessicavaldez3682]

Everyone has their own style. There’s no reason to put anyone down to give someone else a compliment. These are perfect and in their own category among many of perfect nails.

[@Beautyhascomealive]

This is hands down one of the simplest easy to follow video on how to apply gel . Thank you 🙏🏾

[@mozempire5096]

WONDERFUL vid, Isabel. Thank you for the small but helpful tips, like pinching the end of the form. You make extension sculpting FAR less intimidating!

[@GRACEiisCOOL]

Wowww! So talented!! I think this is one of the few nail vids that I’ve actually learnt from. I’m not a pro but I love doing my own nails. Love it!

[@annawolden34]

The shape is lovely...clicked on this to see you shape them...as lovely as they are, no filing info was really given. It is an area I am working on and watching other nail techs do their craft is helpful. Will keep looking. Thank you for the video.

[@wickedrose6746]

Such a beautiful shape. You did a great job of explaining things. I feel much more confident and comfortable with doing this on myself.

[@oceanne0724]

I just subscribed and started watching your videos. This set is beautifully done. You got a an amazing C Curve without using any Pinchers or pinching tool, I really love the way you manually shaped your nails with a nail file. I need so much practice in nail shape filing. Thanks for sharing !

[@cutietipsnails]

Best and easiest video I've seen, I've been putting off trying these. But your video has given me the confidence to finally try it. Thank you. Just subscribed too xx

[@mernaslaiwa1084]

This is an awesome tutorial!

[@Simpliyvonne]

Best tutorial I have seen . I love to do my own nails and basically learned how to do builder gel off of KZbin . I chose builder gel over acrylic because I hate the smell of acrylic and I have pets who are always around me lol , so didn’t want them inhaling those fumes . This color is so pretty and I will definitely be picking this up as soon as possible . Thank you for sharing !

Hi ! I always come back to this video as a review of hard gel application. ❤ Would you possibly ever do a detailed demonstration of how to properly apply a nail form? I find it hard to find a video that shows with adequate camera angles so I can actually see what people are talking about 😢

[@kotrynaeglewatts4991]

Hey thank you so much for all your videos. I came across you today and I have to say-I'm now hooked 😁 have a question. Young nails saying that to do extensions we MUST use clear gel to make sure it cures well. What is your opinion about that? x thank you x

Wow thank you!

Hi! What file do you use? Grit 100? 180? For filing smoothing out top surface of gel nail.

[@queenofstitcheswarrior2668]

That’s clever! Using that rubber base to aboid filing the natural nail:). How long do they last without lifting or chipping? Very helpfull, going to practice forms on my practice hand

[@shellbeevillain33]

iv just bought this system but if i was going to file gel then add another layer of gel would i need a protein bond aswel or can i use the rubber base again?

What lamp do you use? I’m using a 48W UV/LED and I’ve gotten great results with it… Especially compared to the crappy 36W lamp I got with a “Starter kit.”

[@angelinagiovanni1014]

What nail grit are you using?

[@emanuelaalbano5318]

What do you use for a cleanser?

[@katecheung978]

How long do they last? any lifting or chipping?

[@marthas6916]

Can you put nail polish over the clear gel?

[@darciekennedy1098]

If I use a builder gel that is supposed to be cured for two mins under a 36W lamp , how long should I cure it for under a 24W ? Or is it possible

[@rebeccamuir3464]

So gorgeous

What’s the difference between hard gel and builder gel? Also can you do this with nail tips?

[@babyblue3583]

Can someone help me? How long does this type of nails last?

[@itsjustkala]

is this the same for using tips?

[@kmyers4567]

I think this is awesome. What products do I need when doing hard gel extensions?

[@mozempire5096]

You need sculpting forms, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, an led cureing lamp (at LEAST 36w), sculpting gel (clear, nude, or pink to start), gel polish base coat, gel polish top coat. You will also need some nail buffer files in a semi-fine grit. Coarse ones are for acrylic, to remove a lot of mass. You ALWAYS want to work thinner w/gels, so they cure fast. From there, in between that base coat and the top coat, you layer colors, glitter, foil, stickers, rhinestones, and sculptures you can create with that hard sculpting gel. Pinterest and Instagram are your best friends for inspiration, and KZbin your best source for good step by step tutorials like this one.

[@sweettreatnails769]

So pretty!

[@isabelmaynails]

Sweet treat Nails thank you so much xx

[@jordanuballe9647]

How long does this method take? I can’t take 5 hours to do a set of nails on a client

[@molokocharnley5133]

Hello this is every informative Do you dip the brush in monomer or you use it dry?? And did you dry them in UV before or not?

[@MrsGemBear]

You only use Monomer with acrylic. This product is Gel.

[@divm8559]

i am facing great difficulty finish filing the extensions around cuticle area. i end up hurting skin around cuticle with my file. i don't use nail drill. please guide how to deal with this. Thanks a lot

[@ijustrealllylikecats]

I know this is a very old comment, but if you haven't found the answer yet - You need to season (soften) your files before the first use or they will have hard/sharp edges and it'll hurt your cuticles. To season your files, just take another coarse file, and use it to file around all the edges of your new file, and use it to dull down the edges. That should soften it up so that it doesn't hurt you.

[@ijustrealllylikecats]

If you still need help, just search on Google "how to season nail files" and there will be a ton of videos and how-to's 👍

[@pauline701558]

how long you take to do full set ?tks.

[@isabelmaynails]

Polly Camilleri depends on length of nails wanted and nail art etc and lots of varied factors anywhere from 1:15 - 2:15 xx

[@nails.stockholm4251]

😍😍

[@divm8559]

how long should this entire process take from start to finish when doing on client? tfs
