Nails 101: How to Paint Your Nails - Painting with Dominant and Non Dominant Hands

[@nelaalen1]

I always remember how my mom taught me to paint my nails when I was maybe 10... she said 'always leave a little space between your nail and your cuticles on the side, that makes your nails look longer and classier'. and I always paint them that way :D

[@jamiejames8861]

I just had to watch this so that I could paint my wife's nails for her. Your videos are very helpful, Thank You.

[@gsedani]

ACTUAL GOALS

[@skinnyboneddancer3666]

You are the real mvp

[@jamiejames8861]

SkinnyBoned Dancer Thank you. They turned out pretty good according to my wife.

[@jamiejames8861]

Kenzie Harper haha thank you. This video also helped me do my daughter's more recently.

[@txmom2boys]

I just did my best nail painting (and I'm usually no good at it) having this video on while doing it. Your tips obviously helped, but the music! The music was perfect for relaxation.

[@twifanly]

This is THE most helpful video of nail polish, I've watched so far :) good job.

[@s.affira]

I love how you edit and explain in your videos, you make it so easy to understand.

[@eileentaysq]

Watching the colour glide on the nails was surprisingly therapeutic. The brush is a brilliant idea

[@MamaSoldier]

Your tutorials are the best nail tutorials I have ever seen on KZbin!! So informative and organized.. Now I can do my nails without them looking horrible because of your help :) Keep up the fabulous work :D

[@GirlWantsANap]

I feel like just getting a full 10 finger perfect polish application is such an achievement, that I'm always amazed when you constantly push it to the next level and do such gorgeous and creative nail art videos. I watch them and think to myself 'isn't it enough that I painted my nails perfectly!!!' Lol :)

[@marisacmc11]

You are seriously my favourite nail artist on youtube! Your videos are so fun to watch haha!

[@FaerieofDestruction]

The music, editing, painting, and your voice are all perfect. Great Job!

[@kimandmae101]

I love how you edit your videos and your voice. Its soooooo soothing!

[@DearestClaudio]

This video is excellent. Really, really helpful beginners' tips that other nail tutorials skip over!

[@mzcarolyn]

You have the most soothing voice, and I really enjoy your videos! You can tell how much time and effort you spend on them :)

[@Mustache1014]

Omg. I can't believe Janelle answered my question!! BIG Fan!!!! Love you!

[@puddingfishcakes]

I love the design of your videos! Very helpful. Can't wait for the next Nails 101! ♥

[@cynnsosa2256]

Love all your videos ! you should do a video on how you keep your nails so healthy! etc.

[@yodeebs]

Favorite girl on youtube

[@michelea2326]

Best how to do a basic manicure video ever! Love the thumbs trick!

[@MariSan88]

I'm gonna be honest, I've never seen any of your videos or heard of you but I'm definitely subscribing now! And I absolutely LOVE your voice :)

[@adiaroz2012]

absolutely great tutorial... finally a video showing the non dominant hand. Thank you

[@sarahhan7179]

You're so creative with your nail tutorials!

[@elleandish]

I've heard of other ladies trying vaseline, cuticle oil, elmers glue, chapstick or any kind of oily substance around the skin to prevent the polish from sticking. I don't do it myself since I'm trying to get better at applying polish neatly :) But it's a good idea to try out. I don't seal the edge of the nails myself (I guess I'm too lazy) but others say that it helps with staying power. Just lightly brush against the nail edge with a just-barely-loaded brush.

[@NaomiStPierre]

Your videos are always so cute~ I like how you explain all the steps slowly but not too slow and in details. :)♥ This video is really helpful ^^ Thank you Janelle!! ♥

[@marianamartinezrodriguez9382]

I follow your video yesterday and my nails got better than ever! Thanks!

[@elleandish]

For everyday life I'd rather just paint all my nails one color or at the most, add an accent nail. Nail art is a hobby and sometimes there's not enough time to do anything else! :) Trying to stretch my creative muscles and make some fun tutorials to watch but truthfully it's difficult coming up with new videos every week. Thanks :)

[@4EvaHeartBreak]

Wow big difference! Great job and keep up the good work! I love watching your videos and doing my nails!

[@loraya59]

great video janelle! waiting for the next nails 101. I feel like it's gonna be helpful for me

[@formigasL483]

I love your voiceovers, your voice is very soothing and sweet! :)

[@BlessedASMR]

Watching your videos has made me enjoy painting my nails n practicing! Thanks!!

[@SkyblueHippie]

thank you, janelle. the "paint your thumbs last" tip is very helpful as i often get dents on my painted thumbs when i clean up smudges on other nails. am looking forward to your manicure tutorial as i want to get nails as beautiful as yours. :)

[@elleandish]

I love OPI Nail Envy :) I have the Sensitive/Peeling type but I've heard many good things about the original. They really harden the nails and they prevent them from bending/breaking.

[@joannet.4366]

That was really helpful. I can't wait to see what you've got for the bubbles.

[@NamiNami921]

I love all your videos :) they are super helpful and very well done! I will share your channel with all my friends because you really do deserve more viewers.

[@bronzebabyqueen1908]

Just found your channel, oh.... I love it,simple organize, easy to understand, encouraging for new nail beginners like myself. Thank you thank you.

[@poetryinart]

I just wanted to let you know that I followed your method and it really worked! It's probably not a big deal to most. But for me... well - I'm still in shock! My nails look quite good - thanks to your expertise. It's really nice to have neat polished finger nails :-)

[@anothersujufan]

Yes practice makes perfect! A few years ago I couldn't paint my non dominant hand at all but now I could, even if it isn't perfect yet. I will continue trying!

[@korinmartinez1278]

Janelle! Ty for this video... I've been searching relentlessly for video on bubbles! Why do I always get them!??? Haha finally! I look forward to ur next video!! ✨

[@Littlebird767]

I love your channel! You can really see how much work you put into each video :)

[@fabulous1singervoice]

This was actually helpful! Can't wait for the other video!

[@LauraMalfoy2011]

Oh, I really like seeing that photo from 4 years ago! :D If you can, so can I, just as you said. Aw, that made me happy. Omg your tutorials make me so happy HAHAHA Love all of your videos :)

[@lililucena22]

Your videos are awesome, Janelle. I love them all, they're so perfect :)

[@Amby316]

Great video, I love the music choice. This had some great tips. And I agree that practice makes perfect. when I was in college I sometimes changed my polish between classes and that really helped me become better with my left hand (non dominant.) And I never thought of doing my thumbs last. thanks

[@laurenaviolet4408]

This is so defined and beautiful your voice is perfect! I never thought of using a brush/q tip to wipe access nail varnish I will try next time :) xxxxx

[@Sleepycat29]

This is a great helpful video ill refer to for sure my next nail day. As well awesome with the choice of classical music.

[@alexxedros8224]

What a brilliant 101 video!

[@Jeanett19o4]

I love the music that you choose. So relaxing! :) haha

[@yukinogenki]

Keep at it girl! It took me a lot of practice to be able to paint nicely with my non dominate hand. Now I'm practicing decorating with my non dominate hand lol

[@AshaliciousKelTACO3]

you are literally my favorite yoububer ever thank you (: love your videos!

[@7898sarah]

I have this colour :) love all the San Fran collection. Can't wait for the next tutorial, thanks!

[@ojuykk]

you deserve soo many more subbies. i love you!

[@BeautyLifeProject]

This is so helpful!! I see all my mistakes now! Lol. I never wait 2 minutes between coats, I never take my time! I have to try this and see how it comes out. :)

[@sykeskat]

omg! love you janelle! can't wait to use these tips with my next mani & i can't wait for your next tutorial. I don't know what i'm doing wrong but i always end up with bubbles! gaaaahhhh! lol thanks hun!

[@lisad1213]

I love your videos, So informational, and pleasant to watch and listen to! You have an excellent speaking voice, and a pleasant disposition! Keep em coming! :)

[@jackiealeman7283]

Hi Janelle!! I tried this last night on my manicure and it helped greatly!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Specially that I tried a dark red, which I love but it can be messy!! I def need more practice but your guidance and tips were very helpful!! Can you tell us what kind of brush you use to clean around the nails?

[@elleandish]

For short nail beds the only difference would be potential cleanup if the polish gets onto the skin at the end of the finger. Other than that, painting nails of any length, long or short should follow the same procedure: Start close to the cuticles and drag down to the edge of the nail (wherever the end of your nail lies) :) Hope that helps!

[@rachelanngeorges4352]

Just found your channel, and your tutorials are amazing!!

[@angienguyen2154]

Thanks janelle! Totally gonna try this!

[@MsFreeDiy]

I love your videos! They really inspire me to be more creative :)

[@britbrat0685]

You are doing great dont get me wrong. I am not trying to bash you at all. You are very talented that is why im subscribed

[@elleandish]

My #1 tip: use a nail strengthener! I use OPI Nail Envy.. nail strengtheners will help harden your nails and as a result they're less prone to breaking. If they don't break, they have more time to grow longer :) As far as growing faster, I honestly do not know :)

[@moniheartsviky]

I'm so in love with your videos.

[@iStaceyS]

when you showed the pic of your nails 4 years ago, I felt like I could totally relate! Now my nails are longer and I loove doing designs on them! Maybe I'll make my own channel someday.. we'll see :D

[@gigikean6003]

Oh wow! I love your pic from 4 years ago. It gives me hope.

[@SaraPriscila3]

You truly are inspiring :) I loved the before and after xD

[@mintchoco1849]

Janelle, you're TOTALLY right. "Polishing" your nail is more of a shining your nails! :) That's hwo I've been taught all these years anyways ^^

[@elleandish]

I use OPI Nail Envy.. nail strengtheners will help harden your nails and as a result they're less prone to breaking. If they don't break, they have more time to grow longer :)

[@JYvetteA]

yes I love this! can't wait for the next one!

[@DrDre999]

great video thanks for the tips! to make my manicure last longer i always run the top coat brush along the very tip of my nail.. i know its going in a different direction to the top coat but it looks completely fine when it dries.

[@elleandish]

I'll try to put one out this weekend.. I have a full time job aside from KZbin so it's difficult to get the time to edit :)

[@imjustthatawesome121]

Ahhhh I love her channel. Haha it's my favorite one!

[@RubyLu17]

You. Are. Amazing. I love your nail shape so much!! Some of my nail grow rounded others grow with a French tip and they always chip :'( I wish I had nails as good as yours

[@co-ux2uy]

Wow, this is so helpful! Your editing skills are so cool, can you please tell me what you use?

[@gogoo7798]

when you showed the comparison it made me feel a whole lot better

[@elleandish]

swipe polish across the edge of your nail to seal the ends.. I tend to forget to do this but it's supposed to help your manicure last longer.

[@Jennyunger79]

i always start with my pinkie. im my head, i dont like to reach across nails ive already painted. i dont want to smudge them. so i always do my thumbs last, but for a different reason. great video janelle.

[@felgladlycallao8411]

I love the part when you showed your before and after. That motivated and inspired me more.. I just had this as my hobby. Thanks for the tutorials :-*

[@Shadowlandsdropout]

I needed this video in my life, thanks so much :)

[@jacky1880]

i love all your videos and your voice is so soothing not trying to be creepy

[@milcahrivera1216]

i just love how people come up with stupid shit and you respond to them so nicely ♥

[@Briekowski]

I never thought to paint my thumbs last. Great tip!

[@annikimpimaki6132]

More like that!? I love this 3

[@mgy_00]

You make it look so easy.

[@PolishBaby1120]

Great tips janelle

[@zepeck7564]

omggg i love this video and youre nails are so beautiful Janelle! have a good day :)

[@tayamichel969]

Thanks for uploading this. Practise really does make perfect :D

[@sarahcutestuffs6896]

From painting my nails I have taught myself to be able to use both hands. So practice!!

[@BoNJoViLuVR]

Haha, my nails look just like your before video from 4 years ago. And I'm watching this video right after I gave myself a manicure last night! I'm just groaning at myself! I LOVE your technique! Practice Does make Perfect! Keep it up, Janelle! You're doing Well!

[@elleandish]

Craft stores have them... also if you go to any drugstore that sells individual concealer brushes you can buy that. Cheap is fine :)

[@Autumnfeather99]

That's how my nails looked at first too thanks for all the tips they helped a lot!

[@ellayates_]

I have been practising for years to paint my nails neat, and I can now paint with my non dominant hand just as good as my dominant hand :)

[@aprildy7716]

Just what i wanted to learn! Thanks!!

[@TaraDaniellesPineapples]

I mostly paint my nails dark colors like black, navy, dark red, violet and so on. The darker polishes are runnier and if you clean up sometimes it can stain your cuticles which usually washes off. But these are great tips since I struggle sometimes with dark polishes. Tysm :)

[@naqaashawqi]

Sooo helpful thank you so much , hopefully after practice i would be able to perfectly paint xxx

[@jolinacolucci6060]

her nails are beautiful! ;)

[@GallegosChio]

Hi Janelle, really short time ago I see your videos and I've loved, your designs seem very original and beautiful, only I have a question, who do you do when the glaze is "dry" or made taffy, greetings and congratulations from Aguascalientes Mexico

[@gloryfaith17]

Thanks a million for the tips :)

[@koolkonceptz5137]

Thanks for this!!! I always seem to have this problem as I'm right handed :)

[@Itsbejarano]

That blue is gorgeous. I don't really clean up around the edges of my nails because after a few hand washes or after a shower all the little imperfections go away. :3

[@tralanthia]

thank you sooo much for videos like this they are sooo helpful

[@samanthatalorico2931]

This helped so much your amazing!
