Omg finally yes!! I've watched every "apex" video and none of them actually explain it fully. I've been dying for a video like this. Thanks Liz! I'm not a licensed tech but sadly still more skilled than many techs in my area. Keep the education coming, love it!!

[@tunnasch]

Yep, I've also watched every apex vid I can find and, yep, I stink and I can still create a better apex than the techs who charge me $50 when I don't want to spend the 4-6 hours. They glue on a tip, paint gel over it, and away I go. Really? Coulda done that MASELF, thanks. :/ So thankful for Liz.

[@mrsdragnfly]

You said exactly what I was thinking! That video rocked. And I did have the class in school but it made no sense. She absolutely was on point with the explanation!💯❤

[@tanyazawadzki7178]

I learn something new everyday, ty needed this, I knew about apex but this really summed it up thanks again

[@tinab7791]

I mean this in the kindest possible way but I love what a freaking nerd you are about things. I am the same way. You're not just doing nails, you are an expert in your field and you know all the technicalities of why things are the way they are or need to be the way they are and I just really admire that level of commitment to a craft.

[@TheNailHub]

I am a proud nerd so I take this as a compliment 💯% 😁

[@laurabonsell1597]

I genuinely thought a c curve was just aesthetic, I wasn’t taught that it was a structural necessity in my nail course.

[@thecozymakercompany9676]

She’s good

[@curtalaura796]

I do my nails at home and the apex and I are in a complicated relationship. This is couple therapy for the apex and I. ❤😂

[@stephaniecheng2008]

This 30 min video was more helpful than a $400 10hr nail class I took

[@DamarisMakeup]

43 K. 😭😭 PPL come ON! SHE IS SO TALENTED, SHE IS MY TEACHER ON KZbin, WE NEED TO SHARE HER VIDEOS. 💖👑 Kisses from Arkansas BLESSINGS/ bendiciones 💎💎

[@TheNailHub]

Mil gracias amiga. Significa mucho para mí. 😁🥰

[@1sheilajanae]

RIGHT!!!

[@teresamckeown5594]

I love her so much too!! I want to be her neighbor/friend!

[@ThePixie1980]

I've been doing nails for 7 years now and no one has explained this simply!! 👏Bravo!! X

[@mookzmom]

My gosh! All this time (almost a year now, since I started my interest in nails) I was thinking that with longer nails, you needed the apex to be bigger closer to the tip! Well, you can imagine the problems I’ve been having trying to keep my tips thin enough...lol. This is a game changer for me. Hee hee...Thank you so much! And now I understand the importance of C curves!!! This really helps so much!

[@AaronW-ww4ds]

When doing a course for the qualification most dont tell you about c curve and they tell you to start from tip to cuticle area which ends up with way too thick of a nail extention but young nails did a video showing by doing cuticle area first then the tip you end up with a thinner extention and a much better blend

[@neurospicycrunchgal]

You don’t even understand how helpful this was. Thank you!

[@jenniesukovaty233]

Of my 18 years in nails, this was the best explanation of nail structure. You’ve made it easier to understand and explain. Looking forward to more videos.

[@micuchua70]

Wow 😮. It was really well explained. Thank you. I just needed to know that. OmG!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@Saphindra]

I love how you find really helpful analogies to the things you want to explain. Using paper to demonstrate the strength of the C-curve is really brilliant! Redundancy is so important when teaching, so all the visuals really help to tie everything together and make it easier to memorize everything. The bit about how to find the stress area is sooo helpful as well! You're the best! ♥

[@lizvaram9044]

I love love this video I'm always fighting for great Apex and structure of the nail... drive's me crazy when I see FLAT nails.... I don't use tips at all always sculpted nails.... you are awesome teacher/educator the way you explain everything is just so easy to understand.... BIG HUGE THANKS for this videos.... I am so passionate about nails and about structure of nails....

[@hcarroll22]

“What the heck! Why would you want bird beaks like this?” Lol. Love it!

[@maryjanecompton8458]

I died 🤣🤣🤣

[@vonniemichelle3670]

Hands down, the very best nail channel on KZbin. Omg. I am so late to the party, but super grateful none the less. Thank you 🙏

[@Nadinewakelin]

Been doing nails. for years but every time I watch One of your videos I pick something up .

[@GraceBelen]

Yaaaaaas girl! Thank you for the architecture lesson! I’m an architectural designer and you are on point with your explanation on the structural strength of the arch and how it applies to nails. I love that your videos go beyond nail aesthetics and go deep into the science behind them. You are hands down the most intellectual nail educator on KZbin! There are many greats, but your videos are the most in depth. And I love your diagrams and sketches, are you sure you’re not an architect? 😉. You contribute so much in the nail community, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@sznsof_shannn]

Such a great explanation!! Most people just tell you what to do instead of telling you WHY. It all makes sense to me now. I’m ready to practice with the new knowledge of where to build the apex & why the c curve is important.

[@carola.greene2179]

Finally!!! This educational vid regarding apex, c-curve, forms, tips and stress areas explained in a way that makes sense! I sculpt a much better nail than I do when using tips. Because of that, I’ve been watching vids, reading and re-reading and of course always taking courses in new processes and new product. I have struggled with tips like crazy 😝 lol. I got into the habit of using “talons” because I thought it would help... not! After watching your vid, THIS makes complete sense and it all clicked for me! The drawings and references def helped me understand the visual aspect of it all. Thanks so much for doing this video!

[@eileengreenberg3977]

You made perfect sense - thank you for your very informative tutorials.

[@editemiezite4745]

Can't wait video about forms!

[@amonkh2161]

I watched this till 4 o'clock am this morning and after a short sleep, I woke up at 9 am and continue to watch. I am absolutely obsessed with the videos you made. They worth a million to me!

[@Lauryn-Bay]

Wow, this was an outstanding explanaition! I'm not a nail professional, just looking for the quality information about nail to impove my skill in manicure for myself, and your video will definitely help me to decrease breakage that happens even with the gel on. Thank you!

[@bintutoure9880]

Apex is my struggle. I might have to watch this video a multiple times. thank you soo much!💙

[@dianatownsend9972]

You are a great nail educator. Thank you for explaining things from a learner's perspective.

[@dogbella7237]

Amazingly explained! I'm going to apply to a cosmetology school in a month so I can become a nail technician. These videos help me prepare ahead of time and know what to look for when buying products such as nail tips. Thank you!!

[@HollywoodStarr-rg7uz]

You’ll be up too 100k soon your an amazing teacher gained a new subscriber your really really great at explaining things 💪🏼😍😍😍🤍

[@maristeladenigro8851]

Thank you so much for sharing all that precious information with us. This market is so full of people with opinion but so few with true knowledge. Trust me, you're not just teaching us, you're being part of a revolution.😘

[@mookzmom]

Maristela De Nigro ...where’s my pitchfork? 😂

[@maristeladenigro8851]

@@mookzmom Hey Pam! I'll tell you...here in Brazil, the way nail techniques compete madly with each other, you may well need one of those!! 😂😂😂

[@jenlambie14]

Love my Monday morning "bell"! Another great video Liz, thank you.

[@lucydewar6729]

Finally, an apex explanation that actually made sense. I understood that the length would dictate placement, I just didn't know where. Thank you so much for this. Looking forward to your structure videos, I'm having real problems with my C-Curve.

[@tunnasch]

Yayyyyyyyy! Thanks, Liz! So excited to watch and learn later today! 😬

[@elsiegzz3249]

I started working on Acrilic nails when i was about 16 yo and worked on weekends because of school and university. I don´t remember back then people talking about these concepts; now I´ve been dedicated for a while to this job and have listen about it but never really understand it, until now! I loved how well you explained it. Really, THANK YOU.

[@kateraynolds6746]

You made perfect sense! Thanks for another great video!
