The tip on not having the bottle near the lamp is SO helpful, I never would have even thought of that! 😂 Super helpful video, thank you!

[@strawberry1025]

You're a born teacher Amelia. Very clear tutorial.

[@xameliaxYoutube]

You’re always so nice to me, honestly, thank you 😊💕xax

[@vickyroberts9544]

Please do a video on prepping your nails, I feel like this is something I’m not the best at and my manicures never seem to last as long!

[@xameliaxYoutube]

It’s on the list 😊xax

[@ellesmith2217]

Complete newbie to this. You explain things so well, short and sweet. Love your positivity and personality. Thank you for all of this :)

Thank you so much for this video! Had a terrible experience with gel nails before but received this exact kit for my birthday and I can't believe how easy it was! Thanks for your clear instructions and your expert knowledge, so refreshing to watch a technician who thoroughly understands what they're doing and how to explain it. Will watch your removal video next! - Lizzie

[@dawnwhittaker5042]

Thank you so much for this video, it was so easy to follow. One of my sons bought the Mylee kit for me for Christmas and after watching your video, I finally had the courage to have a go. I’ve smudged in a few places but I’ll get better with practice 😁 I’m sorry I don’t know how to attach a picture but they turned out better than I was expecting 🤪

[@xameliaxYoutube]

I’m so glad it helped 😊💕 happy painting!!!xax

Just bought this kit for lockdown 3.0, very excited to try it! I’ve loved having my nails done but obviously won’t be getting them done by my tech for a while and I fancied a bash at it myself! I’ll be looking to you for tips!

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Good luck my love! It’s very fun 😊xax

[@xameliaxYoutube]

I’m so so glad it helped! Thank you Maria :) xax

[@emmabradbury7275]

Great video! I’ve recently brought this kit but my nails weren’t lasting longer than a few days. You’ve taught me some really easy things I was doing wrong.

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Aw that’s great news! So glad I could help 😊 I also have a troubleshooting video on my channel which may help even further 💕xax

[@Alice-hm4hd]

just followed this with the mylee starter kit i got for xmas and im in loveee! so much cheaper than going to the nail bar but looks just as good. my nails are damaged from acrylics and i think the gel will definitely help protect them as i grow out the damage. thank you soo much!

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Ah you’re welcome! Enjoy your new kit - it’s a lot of fun 🥰🥰🥰xaa

[@julietyler8864]

This was great, so helpful👏👏thank you Amelia 💖

[@lornaquinn5805]

I find the mylee builder gel really good too if your nails are on the softer side! Thanks for another great video 😊

[@xameliaxYoutube]

It’s a very easy product to use that’s for sure xax

[@kate1361]

Someone recommended the Mylee kit to me a while ago but I, decided to be cheap and buy an unbranded version for about half the price from amazon. The cheap one was absolutely terrible so I immediately returned it and ordered to Mylee one! 😂 Can't wait for it to arrive, thanks for the tutorial!

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Ah, yes 🙈 need to be careful with those as they’re not regulated so we don’t know what’s in them!xax

[@lhopkins181]

[@JazBazM1]

Such a lovely video!

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Ah i'm SO glad it's helpful :) xax

[@LouisaHutton1]

Thank you for doing this video!🙌🏼 Just wanted to ask you how long the mylee polishes last or if they start to lift quite quickly?

[@xameliaxYoutube]

It’s all in your application and prep. Mine last up to 5 weeks 💕 if things are lifting it’s most likely your prep or application rather than the polish lovely xax

[@jessicaglowacz-gohil5928]

Such a helpful video! Thank you so much!

[@xameliaxYoutube]

You’re so welcome 🥰🥰🥰xax

[@gladysreyes6744]

Aw Rachel, thank you! :) xax

[@amandasolo9464]

I've just purchased the mylee gel nail starter kit ,I am very happy with it and your video is very informative thank you . I flooded the sides with top coat the first few times I used it and it peeled off lol

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Eeeek! Yes that will happen - really do try to leave a gap as you practice because it can cause burns and contact allergies too so we want to avoid that 🤗

[@summaiyarobi4915]

Ohhh my your tutorial is the best :-) my nails came out brill✌️

[@xameliaxYoutube]

That is awesome - I’m so glad 😊 thank you!xax

[@charlottecaradot8715]

Super helpful thank you!

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Yaaaay 🥰🤗

[@debrazeerp4085]

Melia, thank you so much for this tutorial so well explained in detail. I am a good nail polish at home girl. I was always afraid of gel polish because of the UV lamp. But I finally decided to by a couple of gel nail polishes and also bought a terribly cheap UV/ LED lamp.😔 The first mani took place last night and it was a disaster. Some nails came out all creased (wrinkled), and others started to lift up from the nail’s borders. I went to bed a bit heart broken because these products are expensive and I hoped for a fine mani that lasts a bit longer than regular nail polish manis. Listening to you has been an eye opening experience because I made all the mistakes u are giving advise to avoid. I’ve gathered courage with your tutorial and am going out to get me a better UV / LED lamp to cure my nails after the fact and help my gel mani become better. I will let u know how it goes and hopefully it will be awesome. I love your tutorial!🥰 I will look for other videos I posted on regards to lamps that u have tried and recommend. Thanks Melia!😊🤗

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Best of luck my love 🤗xax

[@katherinecolson2350]

Thanks so much! That was really helpful Without being patronising :)

[@munecalinda7375]

Great video! What color is that? I love it!

[@jbee7917]

Amazing video! 😊 Can you use any LED gel polish with the mylee base coat and top coat? I'm new to get polish and wasn't sure if I would be able to use halo gel polishes with this kit

[@xameliaxYoutube]

It's best to stick to the top and base coat made for your polish for the best and safest results really :) xax

[@abby8193]

So helpful xx

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Glad you liked it lovely 😊 xax

[@teresabunce6741]

The whole prep would be great x

[@xameliaxYoutube]

🤗

[@jolenearthur1901]

Have you done a video on how to prep your nails this is what I'm thinking i need to watch. The actual painting video was fab & figure I got that in my head just need to practice but it's the prep im probably not so clued up on 😊

[@xameliaxYoutube]

I'll add it to the list - i've got a very old one and the technique is similar. But I need to film an updated one xax

[@meganpark6800]

Hi! This was so helpful as I’m looking at buying the Mylee products. I have polymorphous (an allergy to UV) so was so happy when I found their LED lamp 😊 would you suggest buying their nail polishes or can you use others with the LED lamp?

[@xameliaxYoutube]

I’m so glad you found it helpful ☺️ it’s always best practice to use the polishes that are made for the lamp in question 💕xax

[@mariazhuk]

Thank you so much, you are very cute and your explanation is very good. Also, your nails are so pretty!

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Ah I’m so glad it was helpful!!!xax

[@bsg77777]

Thank you so much for this brilliant video! I did my girlfriends nails for the second time after watching it and nailed it! Particularly the shaping by the cuticle and sealing on the very ends. I’m not sure what I did wrong but the finish wasn’t as shiny as my first go. Any ideas what may have caused that? Thanks again, Ben

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Hi Ben, Which top coat were you using? Did you make sure to fully seal the topcoat and then wipe away the tacky layer?x

[@tharshinithanikan289]

Thank you for this video 👌

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Awww you’re welcome! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment 🥹🤗xax

[@HS-qe8km]

Great video. I bought the builder gel as the shellac was lifting after a day or two. What is the process for using this? Does it replace the base and top coat? x

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Hi love, did you mean you bought the mylee builder gel to use with shellac polish? Or are you using Mylee gel polish? Because shellac is slightly different to gel polish and it's always wise to stay with the same brand instead of mixing products x

[@thebobaarmy1284]

Omg tysm this so helps!!

[@xameliaxYoutube]

So glad 🥰

[@evalovegrove3217]

This is great and so helpful but do I have to use the cuticle oil or is that just an option x

[@xameliaxYoutube]

I would ALWAYS recommend cuticle oil of some kind. Even if you just use olive oil from your kitchen 😂 it’s important xax

[@jessicachagas4697]

What do you use to take the sticky out? Does it come with the kit? Thank you i love your video

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Yep, comes with the kit and I show it at the start. I also layout all the steps in the video - it's the last step :) xax

[@telteltelxxxx]

Great video, I've just received my Mylee kit and looking forward to trying it out, I don't know if you realise but the removable plate has a protective film on which has to be removed before use, both sides are shiny, I noticed in this video you have kept it on.

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Thanks Terri! Hope you love the kit! 😊💕xax

[@AwesomeGee]

Fantastic, thorough video! How long do you get out of the gel? I’m planning on ordering the £90 starter kit when I get paid on Friday! Usually I go to a nail tech every month for calgel overlays which is thicker, but thanks to Miss Covid I’m not able to just now ☹️! As someone who barely has any cuticles, am I best to still try and push them down every time I re-do my nails? I was thinking of the cuticle remover also. 😊

[@xameliaxYoutube]

I get up to 4 weeks out of mine but everyone is different and it depends on application. Just need to make sure you're not painting over cuticles lovely so push them back if needed xax

[@denisedx]

Very helpful thank you

[@xameliaxYoutube]

You're welcome! 🤗

[@biker6255]

The first time I had my nails done I was 60, I'm still 60 and have made a few mistakes, so I took the initiative, and looked around on You Tube for some help, I've seen some of the rubbish, well I won't go there, anyway, I have seen your videos, and I think they are great, you go through the training step by step and its so easy to follow what you do, I only checked out 3 other videos before yours, I'm sure there are a lot of good ones, but your training is best for me.. Thanks

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Oh this is brilliant - I’m so glad I could help!

[@cheryls_creative7048]

Oh thank you! So useful! This was really helpful, thanks. Please can you do a nail prep video? I’m totally new to gel nails! Thanks! I’ve subbed.

[@xameliaxYoutube]

So glad it was helpful Cheryl 🥰xax

I have decided to start my own little business and still new to all this...have used polygel before know it's different..now will practise gel polish and then will start doing clients

Aw welcome Paula and thank you 😊

[@alightweightflying2978]

Hello, and thank you so much for your video. I was wondering if you could tell me why it is that when I use the Myleene nail polish wipes at the end, my nails go dull and not so shiny

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Are they fully cured? Are you using the prep wipes not removal wipes? x

[@natishalovin6821]

Thank you for sharing the timing when you cure the nails. That part is always left out in the tutorials. :)

[@xameliaxYoutube]

You’re welcome ☺️ xax

[@MH-ve5sz]

Hi there, very informative video! So, I’m a true beginner, and wondering if you are painting one nail, and then curing it? Or painting all five nails and then curing them, and then doing a second coat and then curing them all again? Thanks!

[@xameliaxYoutube]

It’s totally up to you 😊 I tend to do one hand at once - so all five then once complete I do the other hand xax

[@PaganPoetryyy]

Hi Amelia! Loved the video! Just a bit of a random question here...Where did you got the tripod for your phone? Thank you!

[@xameliaxYoutube]

I’ve got a video on how I film things from above with loads of links 😊 x

[@bethanyturner4029]

Thankyou so much for such a thorough video. After seeing this I have bought this kit! 🤍

[@sharonshackleton267]

Thank you for the video it really helped me, only the 2nd attempt and my nails are as short as yours are in that video, they turned out ok...not the best but practice makes perfect 😀

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Ah I’m so so glad ☺️☺️☺️xax

[@hannahkeeton8014]

Just came across this video after buying the mylee kit! It was sooo helpful as a complete beginner I didn’t know where to start! I have one question, is there a limit on how long you should cure under the lamp for? Just because after 30 secs mine still felt a little bit tacky ! Thankyou!

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Awww yay! So gel is always tacky until you add the top coat and wipe away the sticky layer (unless you're using a no wipe top coat) xax

[@sairag3093]

Fab video!! I can’t stop looking at your glasses though, they are so beautiful 😍 where are they from? Xx

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Thank you! They're the Kylie Minogue collection from Specsavers :) xax

[@fabiolag3923]

Hi Amelia, your nails look amazing! I have some questions about this kit. Do you need to use the nail buffer as a first step? Were your nails ruined when you removed the gel? How many wattage is the lamp? Thank you very much x

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Prepping the nail properly is key for a long lasting manicure but just be careful not to scratch or damage the natural nail - light touch. And no, when applied and removed properly gel doesn’t damage your nails at all 💕xax

[@xameliaxYoutube]

And I’m not sure on the wattage but I’ve linked everything down in the info bar so it should be on the website 💕xax

[@fabiolag3923]

@@xameliaxKZbin Thank you so much! I have ordered it and I can't wait to start using it x

[@joannatwardowska6135]

This is great, thank you. However, I didn't get it something. I'm curing with the lamp after base coat but it wasn't said if I'm also curing if after every layer of gel ? Before and after top coat? Or is it just after base coat and the just the second time at the end after top coat? Do I put top coat on cured nails or on a soft ones?

[@xameliaxYoutube]

You must cure every single layer - you can't put wet gel over wet gel. As demonstrated in the video its base, cure, colour, cure, colour, cure, top cure. Your kit should also have come with instructions for you to follow as well x

[@tempaccount1813]

Hi, how long will I need to cure using the uv lamp not the led lamp? Thanks

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Hmmm I’m not sure as I don’t use UV but it will say on your lamp instructions as all lamps are different. Go by those 😊💕xax

[@ceriannhughes692]

Thanks for this video its really helpful! Ive put cuticle oil on them before doing my nails no wonder they started peeling quickly what a wolly head 🙈🙈 i never knew what capped the nails ment i thought it ment just trim them. Thanks for educating me a bit haha x

Ahhhhh yes that will make a huge difference - don’t use that until afterwards 🥰xax

Ah sorry Sarah! I'm not sure about what you have over there that might be similar - so sorry I can't be of more help! xax

[@anastasianeocleous2290]

Hello! Can i use this LED lamp with other brands of gel polishes?

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Yep! Just make sure to look at curing times for that particular polish xax

[@yas5392]

Could you do a video on the builder gel as a nail base how to apply and remove

[@xameliaxYoutube]

There’s lots of videos about how to use builder gel out there lovely - not sure I could offer anything more than those really unless you meant mylee specific? Although I think I’ve seen a couple someone’s done already that were fab! 😊xax

[@gabriellaarcari1405]

Hey! Thank you for this video. I have just purchased this kit. I have been scared away by the recent article on the news about at home gel kits causing reactions and nail damage. Do you stand by this brand and has it ever caused you any reaction?

[@xameliaxYoutube]

I still use this brand but I am a trained nail tech so I know how to properly use them and avoid damage 💕

[@geordrobe6090]

I want to start doing gel nails as a nail tech, I’ve been looking at so many gel brands etc. do you recommend these for more “professional” use or are they ok for someone just starting out?

[@xameliaxYoutube]

I would say Mylee aren’t the best for professional use but they’re fab for nails at home 😊 annoyingly they have loads of great colours haha 😆 xax

[@kellyg6206]

I am new to this, my kit hasn't even arrived yet. Your video is very clear, but how would I wipe off the end of my finger or edge if the other hand was already painted? Thanks!

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Personally I do one hand at a time - it’s a lot easier. Paint and finish one hand then swap x

[@caco198651]

Morning Xameliax!!! First I would like to say that I love your channel!!! I am new at shellac. I got 1 time and loved cause my nails doesn’t used to last more than 2 days with normal nail polish. So, my husband gave me a surprise: the new mylle shellac kit! I love it and I used once! It came with the spring nail polishes color box. Although I loved the colors, sometimes I know I will miss my tradicional nail polish that I have at home. Do you think it’s possible to use traditional nail polish at shellac? Still using the shellac base and top coat?

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Hey Natalia, so glad you’re part of team xax! 😊💕🥰 have you got mylee gel polished or CND shellac? Shellac is a brand name of a hybrid gel polish by CND - you need to be trained to use it and it’s not a brand I use so I’m not sure if that’s what you have. But if you have mylee polish, yes you can use a base coat, put regular polish in the middle and finish with a gel top coat - but the products always work best when they’re used with their direct counterparts - so gel polish with gel polish 😊xax

[@caco198651]

xameliax - UK Vlogger & Content Creator i do have the myllee gel polished! I am very used to do my own nails at home but not shellac. My first experience, i can say wasn’t that bad and my nails are beautiful!!! I hope to be an expert in the future! Continue training! Thank you soo much!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Please can you do a biab demo? I'm having major lifting problems!

[@heydirivera8789]

Hi , thanks for your video. Is pH Bond and Foundation the same thing?

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Hi, I believe you're talking about products from Gelish? They're not a brand I use - I think they're made slightly differently xax

[@heydirivera8789]

Yes I got a gelish kit 😁. Thank you for answering. I enjoyed your video . 🌻

[@SexyPopple]

This is a lovely video, so useful! I tried looking for your cuticle video but couldn’t find it 😅

hi can u use tape cuticle protector or reusable ones ?

[@xameliaxYoutube]

I've not used them personally xax

[@najat2486]

Hi, I never used gel polish and I recently bought Luxa polish but I don’t know if I need two machines or just one .

[@xameliaxYoutube]

I’m not sure what you mean my love? It’s always best to stick with the same lamp for your polish to ensure proper curing as per the manufactures instructions xax

I have the mygel nail kit, I have used it a couple of time now I have noticed after a couple of days the colour stats to fade on parts of the nail. What is the cause for this, am I doing something wrong or could it just be the gel polish?

[@xameliaxYoutube]

I’ve never experienced this Ian, are you applying evenly and making sure each layer is cured correctly?xax

Do you need to use a primer if the kit comes with a base and top coat?

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Primer is optional 🤗

I have the Mylee 5 in 1 gel builder, would you use this instead of the base /topcoat?

[@xameliaxYoutube]

You can, I use it as a builder gel however only. It would be very thick if you’re not careful xax

Hi, do you give your nails a break in between gel manicures or do you do them back to back. Thank you.

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Sometimes - sometimes I just do another set 🙂

​@xameliaxKZbin how long does the gel polish last on your natural nails?

[@mollypopplewell1655]

I love the colour of Lady Like! I was sad when I noticed it was out of stock on the Mylee website! x

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Hopefully it will be back soon 😊💕 or maybe it’s on amazon!xax

[@mollypopplewell1655]

xameliax - UK Vlogger & Content Creator Yeah hopefully! 😊

[@eviedennis3733]

[@emilyydavidsonnn]

hi i have the these polished and the base and top coat but to the prep and wipe stuff does anyone know if any alternatives i can use cause i’m broke rn and can’t buy lols x

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Alternatives to the prep and wipe? You could try acetone to dehydrate the nail bed and a quick swipe to remove the tacky layer. Prep and wipe is best for the latter though xax

[@aislinnpaley7382]

How long would you recommend leaving the nails in the lamp for? Xx

[@xameliaxYoutube]

The correct amount of time for your particular brand of polish to cure - it should say on the bottle/box/website of the brand how long it needs. Also make sure to check that it is compatible with your lamp (LED/UV) etc 🤗xax
