How to Achieve the ✨CLEAN GIRL✨ Nail Aesthetic | GEL-X NAILS

[@grisfigueroaa]

I don’t even do my nails like at all most of the time but I still watch all of your videos cuz they’re so entertaining and calming, hope your doing well, kayli!

[@naomi-ft9rq]

I recommend using the cuticle drill bit before you use nippers. It makes where to nip more obvious and the skin is less sensitive before being nipped.

[@emiliaviolet1869]

Started doing my nails because of you. Recently I have been ordering gels, clear press on’s, LED/UV lights etc and I’ve been loving them all. I am on the younger side of middle school and have been doing my own nails for the past two ish years because of you and Covid.

[@lissiapple1089]

that’s so cool, definitely saves a lot of money

[@kennaluvschu]

if you keep it up, with all that practice- when you start highschool, your classmates are going to be wanting to pay you to do their nails. its a nice little first job typa thing that actually makes you good money. i did the same with hair.

[@liac7742]

Girl I bought all my stuff from your storefront, and did my nails for the first time last week and they turned out so good! Like literally better than when I go to the salon. I also can't even paint my natural nails to save my life, so I'm a bit shocked they turned out so well. Thanks for the tutorials, they helped so much! I do want to give a slight warning to anyone with semi-fresh piercings though. I have a 2 month old rook piercing that's been doing really well, but the night I did my nails it got really swollen and started to hurt pretty bad. I sort of assumed maybe I accidently touched it while doing my nails and something I had used was irritating it. I switched the piercing to a longer bar, and left it alone, and it went down after a few days. Anyway, today I did my sister's nails, and about halfway through my ear started to swell and hurt (I know for a fact I didn't touch my ear). Long story short, my best guess is that the chemicals/fumes or whatever is in the air while doing the nails is irritating my piercing. In hindsight it definitely seems like common sense, and in all fairness I have pretty sensitive skin. I thought I'd mention it though just so no one else has to learn the hard way lmao. Love your nail videos, and some of your hair tips have saved my life! Thank you so much!

[@ROBERT-xx7ui]

Hello 👋 how are you doing today?

[@charlottevincent6328]

i might be wrong but i think even if you don't have a gel allergy, your body still has an inflammatory reaction to using the products, its just that some people then have a reaction and some don't. so your body getting inflamed would make any recent piercings hurt and swell, you're probably fine though once it calms down!

[@lolitasnowder1461]

[@kayliboyle]

yayyyyy!!

[@paigemccool1596]

i’ve seen a few comments about nails popping off after a few days or even a few hours, i was having the same problem until i realized what i was doing wrong. sometimes buffing your nails isn’t going to make it have enough texture. so you can use an e-drill with a sanding band on the slowest speed, or you can use a hand file to roughen up the texture. mine have lasted about 2 weeks (i got bored and took them off lol) without any lifting or any popping off! i hope this helps

French tips are the ultimate clean. It started in the early sixties, when women would color the underside of their free edge with a white pencil to make the free edge look really clean. We have come a long way, and french pink and whites are still the bomb.

[@AhlannaLaShaye]

Wow talk about a cuticle transformation! You did amazing! I also use the crystal nail file on my natural nails I love it!

[@Sunnbuzz]

Nice :) Pro tip from a tech,, don't hold the file up when doing cuticle work you want the bit to be almost flat against your nail bed, when you hold it almost horizontally like that you will give yourself rings of fire and not remove all the dead skin on your nail plate, keep at it though

[@bxbbles8345]

[@collianto4302]

Hi kayli I watched all your nail vids and I'm loving it so much I'm not a nailtech nor a professional but cutting the dead skin or pull it is not good for your nail but do gently push back the deadskin *Extra tip* Soak your nail in lukewarm water before putting cuticle remover to soften the cuticle hope this helps♡♡

[@Yana-tf1he]

I agree cutting isn’t the best, but for some reason my cuticle that grows starts to harden and crack, leaving this very rough and unclean look. Any suggestions on how to prevent the cuticle from breaking?

[@lasa1211]

Girl, your nails are damaged because of a technique not the frequency. Those redish spots on a nail plate is literally the top layer of your nail filled off. It makes your nails thiner, more sensitive and more prone to chemical burn from the gels and not so long-lasting cos this top layer is responsible for a hold. Hope i was helpful)

[@meghanamalur204]

what would you recommend changing exactly? i don’t remove my cuticles but i still feel like my nails might be damaged from putting on gels

[@CottoncandiyMandi]

@@meghanamalur204 Gels don’t damage the nails maybe your removing process is what it’s damaging your nails

[@ItsAdriana_]

Thank you very much! Would you say that filing you gel x nail tip to be smooth near your cuticle could cause this too? Want are you thoughts on this step?

[@ilonaf1181]

I think the girl buffs her nails too aggressively each time she does her nails. Eventually it takes almost all nail off closer to the tip😢

[@kathykov1]

Tip...by using your efile to prep, you can eliminate the use of cuticle remover. The cuticle is the white stuff on your nail. Also its adHEsion, not adhersions 😁 Coming from a professional nail tech, you did a great demo on how to apply GelX tips. 👏👏 Beautiful 💜

[@raisysr]

You literally have the best nail looks. Your cuticles look really clean however I think you removed the eponychium which protects you from allergens and irritants. Removing it might make your allergies worse because the gel is up against your nail.

[@abbyarshad1623]

will this be the cause of allergy? bcs i previosuly encounter the allergy, but after that healed,i redo my nails 2 times with no allergy, and when i redo few days ago, suddenly the allergy act up again. im confused.

[@semicolonco9713]

Hi Kayli, I just want to say I loooovvvveeee your content hehehe I've been your subscriber since early this year and already watch all of your videos (esp your nails content)! I just want to give you some tips if you want to use a primer. You can put it all around your nail but not the center part and let it dry for a few seconds before applying the base coat. I don't want to put a lot of primer on my nails because it can damage the natural nails (please don't be like me). And one of my favorite nail artists shared her tips that you can't (and should not) let the gel polish touch your skin. It can also make you have an allergy, just like if you didn't cure the gel polish correctly. Since you're making a lot of videos of gel nails, I don't want you to get hurt because of "over exposure" to gel polish, because if you do, you can't use gel polish again, even if it has a "non-toxic" label on it. I really love you! Mwah! Hehehe

Can you explain more about the allergic reaction? I think I’m experiencing this but it’s hard to find any explanation on google. My cuticle area tends to get itchy for about 1 day after I do my nails. I use a small uv lamp. It’s like yours but just smaller - can fit 4 nails at a time. I’m trying to experiment with different brands to see if that’s why because it’s only started happening when I started using gel x. Anything helps! ♥️

[@abbyarshad1623]

same thing happened to me!. i do have an allergy reaction before for a while. but after i went down, i able to redo my nails with no reaction, bcs i use another nail glue. i did my nails abt 2-3 times without any reaction. but when i tried to redo few days ago, allergy is coming back. its sooo annoying!

you may have an allergy to hema, hema is found in most gels but you can find hema free gels out there. i hope you figure it out!

[@rebekahbell2068]

I’ve since researched and learned a lot about this allergy and how common it can be! I’m taking about a month break from any gels to give my fingers and nails a break. I may also stick with dip primarily to avoid gel. Hopefully that helps!!

[@ninazhang654]

if you mean whether or not you can paint the extensions before curing it to your nails, not really. unless the gel polish is a sheer shade, the uv light won't be able to penetrate through the gel on the extension when you're trying to cure it onto your natural nail.

[@TracyCampanella]

Not Kayli, but if your nails are flat and you're using C curve tips, they might pop off. Or vice versa. The tips should fit your nail shape. I have a natural apex, so if I use flat nails, tips, they don't fit. Your glue could be bad/old. You could also not be curing long enough. Make sure you remove the shine from your nail plate, and you could even rough up the part of the tip in contact with your nail. Just wipe with alcohol after to remove dust. Make sure to use primer before applying the tip too. I hope this helps

[@luisaaa8271]

You've got flat nail beds like me :/ My gel press ons always pop off despite buffing and filling both my natural nail and the press ons, sadly this means that press ons aren't meant for you. The only nails that stay on for me are hard gel nails. Nothing else has ever lasted more than a week. Unless you can fit press on nails that have a flat curve (which I've never found) you're best to stick with hard gel nails.

[@suzanne.7109]

I've had this issue so many times. Now I make sure to etch the underside of the false nails before applying the gel to them.. you can also use a non acid nail primer to chemically " etch " the underside.. it helps me so much.. nails stay on until I remove them ( like 3 weeks, probably could stay longer but I get bored) anyways hope that helps you babe💕💕
