@@NailsByKatieDutra No problem. 😊

[@danifaxuan4374]

I love all your videos and learn lots of thing. One important thing I want more information of is “how do you clean your expensive nail art brushes without using acetone?”

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

I have a reel on Instagram sharing how to clean your brushes! ☺️

[@PineappleKirby]

Hey Katie! I’m a Nail Tech in Utah and I have been following your Instagram forever! I just found out you also have a KZbin channel and I’m so happy! This video was so helpful and you really inspire me! I hope to make you proud and that one day I am able to get to where you are at! ❤️💅🏼

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Thanks for watching! 💖💖💖

[@cherylstevens4256]

How do you file the old off so smoothly? Do you turn the speed up on your electric file ? Beautiful ❣️

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

For removal I usually have my efile at 25k to 30k rpm’s ☺️

[@FlorieCR2186]

Trop beau, félicitations 👍😉

[@cgocbya5204]

Beautiful ❤️

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Thank you! 😊

[@masiularie]

what top coat do you use ?

[@athertonca]

Is the violet carbide bit in coarse or medium grit? I’m assuming coarse, but Erica has both versions and I want to order the correct one. Thank you for your excellent tutorials.

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

I get the course! 😄 thanks for watching

[@liveinfourseasons]

Cute design, would love to try the luminary products! Is it ok to use your code?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Unfortunately I don’t have a code for Luminary ☺️

[@dezaraewalker]

How long does it typically take u to do a client for a fill

[@jenniesukovaty6774]

Great video! What type of dust extractor do you have?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

the Zephyros 😃

[@angielama640]

Loved this video!! What gloves do you use?!

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

I get mine from Framar 😃

[@Nails_bysharon._]

What do you put on top of your nail vaccum?! Is that a wet napkin, because I’ve heard of that hack 😲😲

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

No just a regular dry napkin. The dust collector needs a filter on top

[@C1nderfire]

Is the gel in the jar the same as the mail polish kind of bottle?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Yes, I suggest watching this video for more info kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5vWYZVthq2Wrac

[@Amtvenom]

What hard gel did u mention u used before luminary that cured faster?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Akzentz. Luminary just has a slower cure than most hard gels

[@trudyjaneshe2024]

Love your tutorials❤️ Do you use the violet carbite bit in medium or coarse?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Course ☺️

[@cynthiajones9621]

Great video. You use a lot of different brands. I noticed you used one coat for the stripes and checker board. Between Akzentz luxio and magpie, what would work for only using one coat for art?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

The Magpie gels are a little thicker so I probably used their Like A Diamond top coat 😀 Its also possible I top coated twice and just didn't show it.

[@cynthiajones9621]

@@NailsByKatieDutra for Color not top coat

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Oh! I did actually do 2 coats for the art, just didn't show the entire process on video. Sorry I misread your original question lol

[@cynthiajones9621]

@@NailsByKatieDutra thanks Katie. Steady hand for the lines 😊 amazing

[@heyheyyyy.y]

What brand lamp do you use ? does it give heat spikes ? thank you !!

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

I uses the Akzentz lamps, and yes the gel does get warm 😊

[@funkiichiicka]

Where is your dust collector from please?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

The Zephyros ☺️

[@PineappleKirby]

What do you use for your filming set up? Do you have two cameras or are they your phone? I’d love to film videos one day and make reels for my nail page 😊

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

I have a video sharing how I film, here is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZPUfHx8aaqtZpY I have one camera and one phone ☺️

[@sydfriesen1608]

I just completed my gel nail technician course, so I’m a beginner. When prepping the finished shaped nail for nail art, I find that the nail art gel “bleeds” into the scratch marks from my finish file. Do you buff is smooth before you apply the design to avoid that? What grit do you use? I don’t want to buff it so much that it wrecks the shaping I just finished. Btw, love your work ❤️

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

I usually apply a coat of gel polish first ☺️

[@khanyi.beauty]

These were so beautiful!! I'll tag you on Instagram once I've tried them. I love them ❤️

[@anitasnails]

Are you applying with a polish brush? Is that easier?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

I use the brush that is in the Luminary bottle 😃

[@anitasnails]

@@NailsByKatieDutra thanks 🙏🏻 they’re beautiful btw 😍

[@daisynails.nailtutorialsan9924]

This design is very pretty! Would it be alright if I recreated some of your designs on my channel?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Sure! ☺️

[@Mrskatielee]

My luminary in drive and serenity is always separating, is there a reason why it would be doing this? I stir it right before using it and it’ll still separate while I’m working with it on the nail.

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

How old is it? The shelf life for Luminary is about 1 year, and unfortunately around that time it will start to separate.

[@saraann0213]

Is luminary nails hema free?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

It has Bonded HEMA. So it is generally safe for clients with a HEMA allergy because the molecules are bonded together so they aren't small enough to absorb.

[@erinjaynes]

Oh honey. 70s. Definitely 70s. Darling nails!!
