[@sierrajuliann6999]

This was the most detailed and quick gel x video I’ve ever seen! I’ve watched over 50 videos and still learned new tips from this. Top tier 💕

SAME!!!! I just went down a serious rabbit hole of gel x videos and this one was the most detailed, I think I feel a lot more comfortable trying this out now! Total newbie here 😅

I am not even finished watching your video yet, but I have to comment that you have the MOST beautiful natural nails!!! the shape, the length, everything! Gorgeous!!!

[@AllstarQuestieNBF]

Girl, you're a life saver. This is the best video I found on youtube on how to apply nail extensions! I want to take care of my natural nails and cuticles, and you show exactly how to take care of them. On top of that, you have your natural nails to prove that it works! Thank you so much for this video 🥰❤

[@jesslizs]

Yay! Tysm for your feedback it means a lot 🥹💖💖

[@nrogara1]

Your natural nails are so pretty just the way they are. Many people get extensions so that their nails will look like yours look naturally :) thanks for a very clear and thorough tutorial!

[@jesslizs]

Thank you so much!!

[@sophia-marieyoung6773]

That's what I thought, too!

[@valioceans]

Is that Top Coat Gel you are using to affix the extensions?

[@rosevanguard]

Yeah that’s what I thought.

[@infinitygens]

***wife using hubby's account*** Girl my wallet thanks you! First I started doing my own silk press at home. My 13 yr old daughter does braids like a pro and now doing our own nails! Saving so much money in these rough times is key! Thanks so much! Best video I've seen. Very detailed loved the Do's & Donts❤❤

[@nadiqui]

Honestly, I had given up on this because they kept falling off and I didn't want to cut my natural nails but I'm definitely trying one more time using all your tips!! This is amazing! Ty❤️‍🔥

[@hfm16]

Your natural nails are literally PERFECT!!! The size of your nail beds and shape!!!

[@parabriana]

I've done this twice and it has worked so well. Literally no nails popping off. Thank you!

[@belluquita]

how long did they last each time? 😊

[@jopoochie1701]

I've watched so many tutorials on how to apply gel tips and I just want you to know, yours is by far the best one I've seen. Very informative and not rushed like I feel many others are. . Thank you for this awesome tutorial ❤️

[@jesslizs]

Wow thank you thank you thank you. 🥹❤️❤️

[@wandacarter5774]

I am so thankful I found this video, definitely subscribed. I have been doing nails for close friends and myself for over 20 years now and I have let my nails rest for over a year now and it’s the same as when I was a teen they just won’t GROW ON THEIR OWN! So I’m back to learning new techniques!! I like this one the best. This young lady is very detailed and I can follow her without any problems. Her nails are beautiful. I know if she can keep her nails looking gorgeous and still wear GEL-X nails with her technique, it’s easy to do, but a very safe way to do nails! Thank you for sharing!!❤

[@tanyajl5769]

This has to be the BEST tutorial ive ever seen for applying Gel-X you literally addressed every issue ive ever had with doing them myself. TYSM for making this video!

[@DoritoHunter]

Your natural nails are my nail goals. Beautiful and healthy long nails!

your tiktok is the reason why i got my own nail kit. i tried to do it last night and it was a disaster 😂 this video helps sooooo much. i know next time i’ll feel much more confident. thank you so much! ❤

[@MrsTaehyungOt7]

Same bro.. a real disaster 😢😅😅😂

[@ebloveee8389]

Adding the glue curing and then adding glue to the tip is a game changer! Thank you for this tutorial 🙏🏾✨ I’m look forward to seeing how my next set turns out.

[@jordanab.9352]

I'm lost, the first layer she painted on her natural nails was glue? Then she put glue on the fake nails and attached it? Then applied gel polish to everything? I'm very confused.

[@justaestheticart5708]

@@jordanab.9352so first it was the prep so dehydrator then primer then it was gel tip glue bonder then cure 30s then take prepped tip apply gel glue bonder to the inside the way she showed flip and apply to nail then flash cure then you add colour gel and top coats to finish otherwise you just extended to nail without adding design or colour

[@eunbibi12]

I love how IN detail you speak I honestly think I could do my nails just after one watch TYSM! If I ever get to try this for my self I’ll leave an update

[@dryvonneburkart]

This is the best video I’ve seen on how to prevent lifting. I also love how you emphasize being careful to avoid the skin because of allergies. It happens to lots of people. Thank you for this!!!

I am so excited 😂 to redo my DIY nails. This was the MOST informative, detailed and simplistic tutorial which I will keep watching because she is taking her time to lead you to success. 🎉 thanks for your care.

[@jesslizs]

Omg thank you so much!! 💘💘

[@GinasEasyKitchen]

I came across your TikTok almost 2 years ago and literally bought almost everything you had💕 I couldn’t believe how easy you made it all look😍 I love having long nails and caring for them but nail salons gross me out, they always do a whatever job, and charge too much. I also hate the atmosphere haha. Thanks to you, I started doing them from the comfort of my home and they’re done perfectly, AND they stay on for almost a month. It’s crazy ‼️‼️‼️

[@annagrace8693]

i used this for my very first time applying them and you made it so easy plus they lasted me 4 weeks. thank you soo much

[@nicoledixon535]

Not only do you have a very soothing voice, you also quickly yet efficiently explained and showed exactly what I needed! I've watched a ton of videos and this was by far the best! Thank you so much!

[@Midnight_g59]

As a cosmetologist you learn wayyy more better stuff out of school, my nail teacher became my manager at my job and she didn’t know jack shit about nails and I’m very very thankful that I’m seeing this video🙌🖤

[@KS-kd4dk]

By far the best video!! I have watched probably 10 videos over the last few days trying to get tips on how to do my own nails. This one is the BEST! Thank you for clearly explaining step by step, also you are so easy to understand. You don’t go off on some other subjects. ❤️❤️❤️

[@taylorreiter2881]

I've been having such a hard time getting my nails to stay on once I glue them, so this video was so helpful as there were steps, I was unaware that I was missing! Also, your voice is so soothing and you're so pretty, thanks so much for this guide!

[@Ta.jaaaaa]

I know this is an old video but Wowwww! You are a life saver! I just brought all the stuff on Amazon the other day from watching another creator on TikTok but your way is way more detailed. Just from watching your video encouraged me. I can’t wait to actually try it. Thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@maxlang9600]

[@bethanylee9218]

This was a really great and informative video! I love that you showed what it looks like if you do too little or too much gel and how to fix it! Great job 👏🏼💕

[@jesslizs]

Thank you so much!

[@mexy04]

This was really good! I order a kit from saviland but hadn't realized it was solid gel. Girl was on the struggle bus. I figured it out but still had so much lift by the cuticle. I finally got a soft gel glue and I'll use that next time. I spent all day Monday taking off my 2nd attempt with a another solid gel glue and it was a pure mess. I hate when my hair gets pulled under that lifted area. But they came out really cute. They'll last 3-4 weeks but the lift will drive me crazy.

[@mirandacmarie]

I bought everything straight from your Amazon storefront and everything arrives tomorrow! I’ve been doing gelX since Christmas (not very long at all) so hoping the extra stuff I bought will help me improve!! THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!

Thank you for all the great tips. And thank you for showing, by using your dominant hand (so many content creators always work on their non-dominant hand and it looks so easy - and makes me feel bad that I’m not as proficient).

Yes using your non-dominant hand is tricky but not impossible!

this was super helpful! I've been doing my own gel x for a few months now but definitely needed some tips to make them look more natural and have better staying power. I really appreciate your thoroughness and sharing! ❤

[@annab6948]

Great explanation. I prefer applying them two mm from the cuticle and then go around the nail tip there with an e-file, to flush the edge. This way they are easier to maintain when they grow out a bit.

[@minxxd]

when you do that do you have to add the paint on top of the leftover space too?

[@annab6948]

@@minxxd Yes, of course; first a bit of builder gel to fill in the gap, and then all the usual stuff.

This video has taught me so much and I've watched it several times lol...I've just started doing my own nails at home and has been so helpful. One thing I was trying to find in your video is the clear case thingy you displayed the nails in after you prepped them to show how they should look?

[@staceydickinson8021]

I had not heard of gel x before until today and so I decided to KZbin it and your video was the first that popped up and wow! The background music was not annoying thank you so much, your voice is very soothing and easy to hear and all your steps involved were perfectly explained. I guess what I would like to know is once your nails grow out.. there's obviously no doing a fill like you would with acrylics so I guess that means you have to remove these nail tips? Do you have a video by chance on removal?

[@lilyomein]

this is EXACTLY the type of video i was looking for. thank u for ur tips bc this is a lifesaver for me

Thank u for the video, now I have an understanding as to what gel nails are about. I was watching other videos that had thick colored gels underneath and I was getting confused as to where to buy those items and I kept seeing gel nail kits on Amazon so I was just not so sure what to buy. Your video shows me what is really necessary to put on the nails and how to prep them.

Love this! I struggled with lifting of my gel polish. You’re bomb..thx you! ❤

[@victoriahuynh432]

This was one of the best tutorials I’ve watched!! Good job!! Just a quick question though, does putting an extend gel on the base of your nail before you put the gel-x tip on matter? I usually don’t put an extra layer of gel before I put the tip on.

[@pinkpuff6]

Just a heads up - the new apres gel x tips are created thinner so don’t do too much filing by the cuticle 🧡

[@jesslizs]

I tried them but Idkk I feel like they’re thicker imo 🫣 I do really like the in between sizes tho!

Bestttt video everrrr, so detailed, clear and concise!

[@jesslizs]

🥰

[@Ms2unique4u]

Excellent video! I appreciate the knowledge! I do have one question…. When you were showing what to do when you either apply too much, or not enough gel to the gel tip and you wiped everything off with an alcohol wipe, you should go back and reapply the dehydrator and primer to that natural nail before you reapply the gel and tip. If you don't, all that time you spent applying those products to help with adhesion, would have been for nothing because you could have issues with lifting on those nails, right? Please let me know what you think. Thanks! 😉

[@jesslizs]

Thank you!! & not necessarily - this is why I cured the layer of gel on my natural nails first before applying the extensions this will give you room to get the application right without compromising the adhesion!

“Don’t feel rushed when doing your nails” 💅 😅 cry’s in first time mom of a 6 month old 😂 great tutorial! It really helped !!! ❤

[@kendreaneufeld794]

Your nails are so beautiful! I had a question, I was getting gel polish every 3 weeks for 4 months and felt like I wanted to let my nails "breath" naturally at my last appt. Thankfully I did, my strong nails that I had no issues growing are now so weak and will bend at any pressure I could cry. Is this common and just a sign that gel application is not for me?!
