Oh my gosh!!! Finally a gel nail tutorial by an exemplary nail tech, that explains in detail what you're doing and why, you're doing it! Love it! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I must have watched 300 vids here on KZbin, and elsewhere, and none have been as detailed and thorough as yours has. Also helps me finalize my decision of what gel products to invest in. Great job! :)

[@TheNailHub]

+Ronda Zehr Thank you so much for the feedback Ronda! I'm so glad you found my video useful. More are in the works. :)

[@naomipask9956]

I loved this! Liz; do you have to use a base gel or can you use a really thin layer of the builder gel and scrub that in instead?

[@chasehim3761]

Im your 100th like. :)

[@Definitive3]

her and nailcou are my fav :)

[@celestelau2776]

Tranks!!!!

[@tenlittlecanvases]

This is one of the best explained videos on gel sculpting I've seen. Thanks for the info on the bits as well.

[@TheNailHub]

thank you!

[@raya74]

I agree great video quality explanation and beautiful result

[@KorenKatja]

I usually don't spam under videos but I just have to make another comment. I just tried this technique. I'm not a professional but I just made the most beautiful sculpted nails I ever had. I'm just trilled this is amazing! I can't thank you enough

[@TheNailHub]

Katja Koren oh thank you so much!

[@angieortiz1828]

Did you use the same products she uses in the video?

[@vladasamara54]

Years, years I've been watching nail tutorials and you have actually, created a perfect video! I mean, my mind is blown! THANK YOU!

[@alanadollable]

Finally!!! I've probably watched over 100 videos on how to do gel nails. Very clear steps! Reduced my nail sculpting by more than half!!!! I got it perfect on the first try! Thank you so much!

[@kerstonscott3202]

[@silentj624]

That piece of string. I was so happy when you filed the free Edge. Lol

[@nadastankovic5245]

I’m a licensed hairstylist and nail technician. I love gels and forms over nail tips. I dislike the glue and you are right you get debris under the nail when one uses glue. It’s really a preference choice. I’ve used so many different products but never Akzents. I’ve ordered the base and sculpting gel and love the pink pinching tool. Saw your video how you put on forms and you are one of the best in explaining how to put forms in. I have used nail tips more than forms. It’s funny in salons they use more tips over forms. Forms should be used. Tips are faster but forms are personalized to your nail. You are a very good instructor. ❤️💅

[@blueclarity]

You are an excellent teacher!! I've resisted even trying gel for years now. Just started. Because of how you explained things I am able to fix the lame bad job I did a few days ago, I've only done one nail so far but the difference is amazing! Thanx so much! I did it with my non dominant hand too.

[@yarnaddict1]

I've watched countless gel nail tutorials and this is, by far the best! After all this time, I finally found out what an apex is, and how to build one. Not one other tutorial explained that. I learned a lot and this will be my "go to" video! I'm so excited to try your method that I'm going to go do my nails right now!

[@gemmarmaladex9150]

Thank you so much for this! I've been a qualified nail technician for almost one year now and after watching this I've finally done my first perfect set of extensions, they're not super bulky and this was actually the fastest I've ever done a full set :)😊

[@adelesavage7154]

Wow! I was so pleased when you used the term "line of light" I haven't heard that since i was training! Absolutely fabulous video, so clearly explained and a beautiful nail at the end of it. Makes me actually want to use gel again as well as l&p

[@emilylittle3454]

Best instructional vid ever on gel!

[@alisonjohnson7201]

I agree

[@kimstanley9850]

Emily Little Yes, definitely agree!

[@leighhockly6754]

Awesome explanation

[@jwbirdlover]

I totally agree!!

[@juliejenkins2376]

Absolutely.

[@tammys701]

only very few nail techs that know how to create beautiful nails with a lovely c curve with side walls while maintaining a sleek look. Your one of the best!

[@melindasprinkle4962]

I have searched and searched for a video that will help me, as a nail tech., learn how to sculpt a nail properly. Thank you so much. This was fantastic. I'll be watching it again as I learn. 👍👍

[@TheNailHub]

thanks!

[@Sebbiewebbiewoo]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this. It finally made it all make sense. I have been DIYing and screwing it all up but this literally saved me and now they look amazing. I have the best set I have ever had and it is thanks to this video. I love you thought I don’t you. I consider you a gel nail goddess! 💕🙌🏻

[@MissHeidiRebekah]

that nail is flawless! this video was so helpful and informative.

[@MsButterflysting]

Love the detailing in each of the steps. The reasoning behind them makes sense to someone just learning. Thank you!

[@jen_doe]

I just wanted to take the time to say this is an amazing and useful video! I have a Neiru membership but I always wished they had tutorials on technical applications, not just different nailart looks. I think I speak for many nail techs. The basics are the most important! You are a gifted educator and you made it very easy to understand. I look forward to more Nail Hub tutorials!

[@TheNailHub]

+su kim Thank you so much Su Kim! I really appreciate the thorough feedback. I will be posting more tutorials soon! :)

[@SuperRedLioness]

Thank you soooooo much for this! Wonderfully explained!

[@TaeKookieLover]

This is by far the best tutorial I have seen. Perfectly explained. Now I can try to do this myself. Last time I did a poor job and ended up using tips.

[@bsarlie]

You are amazing. This is the best nail I've ever done. Your instructions are so easy to follow. Thank you so much.

[@michellemassolin3398]

I am watching this for a second time. I love this video. Thank you!! I am working towards getting that first layer to have that line of light perfect!!

[@nails_by_courtneyjo9508]

This is an older video but my gosh finally one about gel that’s understandable!

[@paranail9733]

Thank you so much for sharing! It's very useful.

[@kimberlysheehan9030]

You explain things so well. I'm so happy I found this channel.

[@deniseacosta873]

OMG love the way you explain this!! By far the best I have seen!

[@leah5965]

I really struggled with building my nails and hands down this is the best tutorial I've seen, thank u so much ❤️

[@madit9921]

Yes! Thank you SOOO MUCH for this video! This helped tremendously! I am a beginner nail tech and I always wondered but more afraid about gels and gel scuplting. I learning acrylic but I also want to learn gel and gel sculpting so I can be more versatile, as there aren't many gels techs in Texas! And as a newbie to the nail world I wanted to be different. For a while I was majorly confused on gel but this has given me an amazing explanation and basics✨👌

[@u2bleas]

I love these products! They work exactly like you say. Thank you so much again.

[@notanotherfuckingnikki]

This almost makes me think I can work with gel. Until I realized how much it'd cost just to buy all those different consistencies and builder gel just doesn't work like this. That's a damn masterpiece nail and yes you were right you could have just left it. Bravo 👏

[@michellelandreth89]

I can finally shape my nails with the file correctly after watching this. They've never looked better! Thank you!

[@kitty4sj]

From tons and tons of videos I’ve watched! THIS! This helped a million! Glad I’ve found you! Love that I can focus on just what you are doing. No music! Relaxing and Educational! SUBBED!

[@libbypisani7300]

This is the best video in terms of explanation that I have seen. It's clear and not confusing. There are so many products out there and it's very easy to get caught up in different products and going from site to site. thanks

[@TheNailHub]

You're so welcome! Thanks for the nice message!

[@marytapia8024]

I've never seen any of your videos before . One of the best gel tutorials I've seen

[@roxymadison2008]

OMG! Just found your video. Some of the best nails I've done! And with my non-dominate hand. Thank you

[@aprilfisher3731]

exactly what I was thinking. most detailed info in a gel nail application video. Thank you. Very beautiful work.

[@alextownsendnailartist6637]

That was absolutely flawless!

[@roseyposey893]

FINALLY! I SUBBED!!!! This is the best tutorial, omg. Seriously, I was feeling so anxious and confused about EXACTLY what to do! Other tutorials are not descriptive enough leaving me scratching my head at the end. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@thebeautymaven4812]

Great tutorial, very straightforward! Also fantastic that it is in HD-nothing worse than watching nail tutes that are blurry :)

[@TheNailHub]

+The Beauty Maven Thanks! yes it is my goal to do all my videos in HD so you can really see what is going on. It's all in the details.

[@kathy5939]

Excellent video, very calming voice and informative for learning. I have such a problem with sculpting and am also allergic to many brands of gel as well as acrylic.

[@lifestylet4114]

Thanks for the tips! I'm definitely going to give this a try on my channel!

[@miriampaskova4866]

Thank you for this helpful tutorial!!

[@sypk2]

This is so so so helpful. Wish I watched your video before I ordered my starter set 😩😊

[@nailsthatstunt3665]

I thumbs up the video because 35 seconds in you gave a great tip.

[@RedRose-kj3dz]

Nice - that nail was so crisp 👍👍

[@Lisalovesliberty1]

Love this video!!!! It’s so hard to find gel pinching tutorials

[@zenoviashaw8332]

You did the best tutorial ever!!!!!

[@wjhydes8071]

Oh my gosh! Where are you!? I’m so tired of trying to get my nails done at these crappy salons. Nobody takes the time to do proper nails anymore. Everyone here in Austin uses tips and nobody knows how to sculpt nails anymore. These are the most natural looking and last the longest in my case. I am ALWAYS disappointed and change places often in hopes of finding a better nail person but NEVER find anyone who does the kind of work you do.

[@nicole0sorbet]

Very informative! Thank you very much 😊

[@KatieP_UNO]

Wow 😍 thanks for sharing

[@TrepidHen]

This video was so helpful!

[@cth5679]

[@DAgayton9558]

Excellent tutorial!

[@blondiegurl8348]

Beautiful, you’ve sold me on gels.
