So funny you posted this. I just had the born pretty set delivered today. Got mine on sale for 9.99 plus tax!

[@yohandrys]

Link?

[@prettystreetchic]

Did it come with full tips?

[@AbsoluteApril]

born pretty is a very decent brand IMO

[@jblovly]

I find the gooseneck uv/led lamp works way better than those where you have to put your nail underneath the light for gel x. A whole game changer!

[@ArtemisDianna]

@@RamoArt if you already have a UV lamp torch (like a flashlight but UV), you can attach it to a lamp or a book (so that it's elevated) and flash cure it that way! Works better than using the full lamp or the one this kit comes with.

[@shawnalynn5198]

​@@RamoArt I suggest trying the solid nail glue, it's a game changer! It's actually meant for gel-x so it's not technically a "glue." But it helps so much bc the nails stay in place while you're working on the rest of the hand, so you can just put all the nails on at once and then put your hand in the lamp. You could flash cure them as you go if you wanted to be super safe, but I haven't found that I need to do that. Also I saw one video where the KZbinr had a mild skin reaction, but if you don't have sensitive skin you should be fine - I haven't had any problems and I've been using it for awhile

[@kelseahamilton9160]

Hey Evie, quick tip, always etch the inside of tips unless it says or you can see pre etched. The same science/ logic about buffing the tops before you put gel polish on the top applies to the inside before you attach to your natural nail. Gel doesn’t like smooth surfaces so for the best and strongest adhesion always etch and or buff. For people who don’t have an efile you can use primer on the inside of tips to chemically etch them. Hope that helps!

[@PiNkzThiNkz]

She knows

[@BrunchwithLexii]

@@PiNkzThiNkz right like she a rook at this lol

[@yoursurgerysister]

The tips are supposed to be gel. When using gel tips with gel adhesive you dont need to etch.

[@meaganhelbig1824]

@@yoursurgerysister kiara sky’s kits are gel and it says etching helps with retention! I think it’s a case by case basis

[@allthingscrystal3924]

Could this be why mine pops off?

[@summerbeckii]

I have wide nails too and have always had issues with press ons. I’ve learned from your channel that I have to get the longer ones (I don’t really do long nails often) and I can jus cut them down to my desired length. I haven’t started doing my own nails yet, but I’ve been watching your channel for awhile and once I’m able to start, I’m getting everything I need! I loved this set btw!

[@mrsnewmoneyboss1004]

Same same same

[@xaviacole]

I love how the gel holds tip in place!! But the size of tube is not enough

[@MoniCapriTV1]

I loved that too but they definitely could’ve given a bigger size gel tube.

[@nailed_by_lore]

You made that look so easy and I also love how the matte look looks.

[@willitshealth]

The ombre with the matte is soooo gorgeous!!! I love watching your videos, thanks so much!!

[@caitlinc8519]

Omg hi love your videos they inspired me to do my own nails ❤❤❤

[@laraserrano4166]

The powder worked for me too! The first time I did this design I didn’t put acrylic and it was 100 times harder to blend the colors

[@aquarius8325]

This was my first time seeing the clear acrylic used. Her's definitely used less gel polish and the blending is beautiful.

[@TracyCampanella]

Hi Evie! I've been a fan for a long time. Love your personality as well as the knowledge you share.

[@kathytarman2302]

I love the colors so much. You did a perfect job. Thank you for sharing this.

[@thearb2003]

girl you just made my day. Get to sit and enjoy your video... SO appreciated

[@nailsbya92]

You picked the perfect colors! They blended so well and they look gorgeous girl! Love this set!❤

[@emerald_mtn]

SO pretty! This is the first matte set I have seen and I completely agree. I think they look better matte.

[@mzkelz68]

Ooh I’m so excited!! I love these type of nails and you do such a great job!!❤❤

[@kwood311]

This is one of my fav designs I've ever seen you do!! So simple but so elegant 💗💗💗

[@Crustymustymop]

When you were Putting on the top coat I was saying to myself “she better file those” then you did so I was sooo relieved

[@satansoup]

Your nails aren’t even wide!! Some 0s don’t fit my toe thumbs so I’m glad I watched this, these nails may not fit my thumbs 😞. You are the reason I started doing my nails at home. I’m getting better and I have you to thank for that. 🙌🏽🖤

[@elle8017]

have you found any brands that work well for toe thumbs? the 0s are too small for mine💔

[@satansoup]

@@elle8017 honestly the Beetles dupe she does a video on had a decent size zero. I just had to file the round part away 😞. Other than those I’ve neveeeeerrrr found a nail that actually fit. And I’ve tried so many brands 😞.

[@lexjude]

I love these kits!! They have really changed my nail game. I may be picking up this set and hoping I'm not allergic to it haha. Thanks!!

[@keyllabrandao6644]

I dont want to sound creepy but i REALLY like your calm voice!! I want it in spotify, a podcast just for me to listen before sleep. It would be a dream coming true!!

[@andreablake5938]

Beautiful job, I already put this in my cart to give to my sister. She is paying crazy money to get her nails done and this seems effortless and not to complicated. She should rock this.

[@haleysperbeck5972]

I will be grabbing this one 😊 💅🏼Thank you for reviewing! I have atleast 5 different ones in my cart but couldn't decide lol

[@dailydesie]

😍😍 omg the pink set turned out amazing. im seriously mesmerized. awesome job!!

[@426adina]

Hey girl hey glad to see you posted I’m always looking for your videos on Saturdays thanks for sharing

[@JustNikkie_]

You made that look so easy this is the very first time seeing anyone do it with the clear acrylic but it definitely help it blend 😍💙 thanks for sharing.

[@deannalorraine5717]

When you use the powder, use an orange wood stick to clean up the edges before you cure 😊

[@lifeoflw84]

I LOVe how your are like me and ONLY DO YOUR OWN NAILS!!! Haha I never do anyones nails but my own!!!🤍💕

[@nyesha6806]

Hi, Ms Evie I just like how you started in prepping your nail to get ready to apply the new gel soo satisfying. I think the nails came out perfect. Oh and most of all I love that sweat shirt were did you get it. Your sweat shirt does actually match with the color of your nails. Right on! Love your work and have a blessed day and week. Peace and love Nyesha 😊

[@jensarchvies]

they look so much better with the matte coat, love these 💞

[@cortneyoliver7025]

Wow! Wow wow wow!!! Those Brother colors are so beautiful!🖤🖤 that reversed ombré is just..you killed it Evie!!!!!

[@gretchenbowen6134]

I normally am not a huge fan of pink but I love these pinks. U made it look so effortlessly nd they're gorgeous

[@debrajackson7049]

Omg those are so beautiful..I don't have the confidence to even begin to try that looks... love the pink shades!!!👍

[@shawndamcbride1482]

I always have a smile on my face when you do a video like its Christmas morning ☃️🎄🎁

[@ambermarie3975]

This is beautiful! Ima watch it 6 more times and try it myself for my birthday dinner! Thank you !

[@Forbiddenhorsegal]

I absolutely love your videos! they have inspired me to do my own nails and learn how to do them properly! this reverse ombre looks absolutely fabulous! I now need to try them for a Halloween look!

[@hanC21317]

I love the result, the shades of pink you chose were sooo pretty.💗😍

[@dansetteameliawilson3227]

I got some wide ass Flintstone fingers so finding nails that fit is a chore.

[@judeharley1149]

Same

[@lenasofine8875]

Yesterday, I got the LazyGirl kit from Amazon which is almost identical to this set. Thank you for this video!

[@tashalexhan]

I’ve been looking for a review on a gel nail kit, and from someone trusted. Thanks for this.

[@QueeNene6]

Another tip ladies and gents: For those who struggle with the glue, in most of these kits, they have a liquid "glue" gel to adhere the tips. I found a solid glue on Amazon and the grip is amazing! There are numerous brands of these on there so just look for solid nail glue. They will come in pots and not bottles or tubes. They also come in nail bed color or other base colors for French tip affects. Good luck y'all!

[@margodphd]

Thanks for the tip, haven't seen anything like that in my regional shops, gotta try international.

[@gummybear8430]

I saw the butterfly nail video that you did and I loved it good job recreating them! I liked this video to and i love your videos!

[@heidigianno8420]

Hun if you put a bit of primer to the inside of the nail tip it won’t need the pre file or buffing it works magic 🎉

[@babypoof]

This is making me want to do my nailsss Im trying to grow them out because ive done a lot to them recently and i wanted to start fresh but mannnn watching you do them all cute and pink is making me want to do mine

[@ShadesofSteph]

I love how they turned out!

[@mandab919]

Beautiful 💅🏾 Might have 2 try this. You made it seem easy

[@brookiebarreto3633]

I have been wanting to try this reverse ombré but never could find the technique ❤ I’m gonna do this when I do a new set this week!

[@Ay-B]

Pretty! And I liked the variety of new products you tried in the video.
