how to do gel x nails like a PRO | FULL tutorial + beginner friendly, step-by-step

[@sarahraine9066]

Beautiful set. A word of caution though please use gloves when using the solid gel, an allergy is so easy to acquire if you are touching gel products with your skin. Also if you have trouble getting the Jello Jello to peel off try using it with the Withshyan stripper, it’s a game changer they come off easily with the one kill remover and absolutely no damage. I use both those products and my nails stay on up to 4 weeks , but I can remove them at any time

I haven't been to a nail salon since 2010 for my prom so I know prices have gone up since then! Lol, I do my own nails as well for 2 years now and I love it! It may take awhile but at least you save so much more money!

[@simransodhi2255]

This video explained everything well, and wasn't too long to sit and watch. Thank you for explaining thoroughly, you made it easy for me to understand gel x nails

[@lianahenderson5143]

I really enjoy watching your videos!! They helped me so much, thank you

[@huibj4724]

Love the design!!

[@TracyCampanella]

I love gel-x, and I do my own. As you say, they last about a month. It saves so much money. I look forward to your posts.

[@MukbangMondays]

Make sure to wear gloves while rolling out the gel it’s really dangerous to touch it with your bare hands and let it sit on your fingers for a long time it can lead to allergies.

[@ExoticOreo]

But it gets so sticky on my gloves

[@Shishmish6]

​@@ExoticOreo I don't roll it between my gloves, I put it on a waxy paper pallet and roll it with just one finger (wearing gloves ofc), instead of rolling it between two gloved fingers. I found this helps a lot to stop it from sticking to my gloves, and I use silicone tools to cut it and shape it. It's more important to protect yourself, because gel allergy does not only mean you won't be able to use gel polish, it can also prevent you from getting a lot of dental work done as well because the materials used can contain chemicals that would cause an allergic reaction as well 🫶🏻 so please stay safe!

You make this look so easy, I know if I do this on myself it will NOT look this good❤

Luv the tutorial very informative and easy to understand 😊 Can u make a tutorial on how to remove gel x nails ? Ive been really struggling with this part

[@nataliehoye9437]

I may be able to answer your question, What part of it is a struggle for you?

[@rainesuen6579]

[@preppy-maisy]

It’s so cute!! Could you try to do this cute shell summer nails?

[@MistyAlago]

So cute ❤

[@latishawarren8841]

Nice and easy ❤

[@Bananamello]

When do u use the primer ? Also is base coat similar to gel glue ??

[@SarahMassai]

Pls do a tutorial on natural nails thank u❤

[@paulagr77]

Love this video and immediately went to Amazon to try to purchase all the products. However, I couldn’t find the hard gel so I ordered one from the beetles. Is the one clear thing in the stick that you squeeze to glue the charms glue or hard nail too? This will be the first time I’m doing my nails I’m sooo excited. 💖

[@anniez_nailz]

Soo cute and I just wanted to let you know that your videos and aesthetic just calm me make me feel soo relaxed so thank you 💗💗

[@learose3889]

Girl you need malava stronger ( blue serum ) it’s a game changer to growth long and strong nails like wearing gel i swear it’s amazing.

[@lailam3437]

Thanks for sharing, I love your videos! Question: Was the peel off base coat (the jello jello one) a gel or normal polish? In the video, I didn’t see that you cured it.

[@lindaking4149]

I heard not to use eye shadow on the nails because of the oils in them. But we’re supposed to use actual pigment. If you have problems with adhesion, that could be the reason.

[@StefanijaStojanovska-qh9ji]

I've tried both pigment and eyeshadow, pigment is not as smooth it leaves marks, while eyeshadow applys really smoothly with no marks, sand I've had no problems with it

[@asiah1673]

Hey there thanks for the informative video. While I don’t think I have required talent or patience to do my nails. Idk maybe you can show us how you do a press on set for the people who are like myself and feel too intimidated with this. Also I have tried to set up and appointment with you for I will be visiting Japan and well I only sent a good morning/evening by mistake. I wanted to know if you had any availability in September even. Again thanks for the video

[@chloekhaleesii]

What did you use to flash cure your nail? Nails look so pretty!!

[@kelceynicole]

I may have missed it, but did you cure for 30 seconds after you applied the black gel polish on the 3d flower?

[@evieeeailene]

question, the base coat that you used, is there a UV light version. Or do you think it’s OK that it just air dries?

[@marcellaelainemiller8626]

Is the Born Pretty jelly polish 02 the Barbie one from your shades of pink for summer short? Trying to find it on their shop but I'm seeing like JN38 Hot Pink is what looks the closest? My sister is getting married next month and I'm thinking of what nails I should do and that looks like literally the perfect color in that short but I want to make sure the JN38 is the right one since I can't find it being called 02 online like the top of that cap!

Hi sion, how do you do the audio over your videos? Do you use a certain microphone or software?

[@sherylisaweome]

do you use a drill for blending the gel x?

[@katherinepierce3503]

Please answer me can I use clear gel as nail glue gel to stick the gel x tips

[@staceynaranjo]

for isolate chrome designs does It have to be a non wipe black gel polish? if so can you recommend any non wipe black gel polish ?

[@nailsbysion]

no i just use regular black gel polish! but i think for a better shine you should use non wipe

[@staceynaranjo]

@@nailsbysion do you have any recommendations for a non wipe black gel polish?

Question, how can i stop the nail polish “melting” to the sides?

[@heatherparker3891]

Okay but question, what are all the gels you use

[@iamagrill270]

Where did you buy your peel off base coat from? Ive been really wanting the one you used but can't figure out what link would take me to an authentic seller!!

[@genesisquintanilla9279]

Hi! Where did u purchase the jello jello peel off base coat?!💗💗

girl it’s a struggle to get it in japan 😭 i just ordered it from a random website 🫠

From where i can get the oil remover?

How long do you let the acetone act on the cuticle? Because if I don't sand it with a sander tip, the acetone doesn't melt the capsule...

[@-_Meg_-]

What drill do you use???

[@seoulmate1710]

Hi~~ please help me! I see you put the nails quite far from the cuticles. My nail shape at the cuticles never seem to match the shape of the gel nails. So if I leave 2mm and out them away from the cutcles then it’s hard to go back and put the base gel on top as it gets into the cuticles and the crevices left and right. What do you do in this case?? Does the acetone melt it?

[@nailsbysion]

blend with a file, then add acetone and it should be seamless!

[@seoulmate1710]

Thank you ❤

[@jiwonyny]

How long do u cure ur nails under the led lamp?

[@nailsbysion]

i cute at least 60 seconds!

[@alkaorgun09]

do you wipe the sticky layer off your gel polish after curing (between paint layers) or do you only wipe it at the end

[@nailsbysion]

@@alkaorgun09 no, i don’t, unless it’s a top coat at the end.

[@jade-mk7jo]

How do you avoid flooding the cuticle?

[@nailsbysion]

i clean up the edges with acetone!

[@shawtazz]

I'm on my journey to do my own nails, I started off by removing salon nails. I had biab on, omg the efile was scary but then it got fun. Took me 2hrs though just removing because i was scared and only had the fine sanding band on... it got stuck to my mandrel :( .Aparently all you can do is rip it off?

[@rxsdbb]

Is the brand aimeili good for starters?

[@Lacey-xc9iz]

Get Beetles, it’s not expensive and good for beginners! ❤

[@rxsdbb]

@@Lacey-xc9iz I’m scared of buying beetles bc i’ve heard a lot of people getting contact dermatitis from it

[@iamagrill270]

@@rxsdbb Beetles only has more cases of contact dermatitis because it's marketed towards beginners who don't really know how dangerous it can be! If you are careful it will have the same chance of giving you contact dermatitis as any other gel polish :)

Gracias por esto pero pienso que devalúan demasiado todo el ámbito laboral de estética ( que causalmente podrías hacerlo en casa pero realmente no eres una pro haciéndolo incluso para hacerlo en casa necesitas estudiarlo a detalle por el tema de bio seguridad químicos etc absolutamente todo es esencial para saber exactamente todo lo que una manicurista profesional puede hacerlo con estudio cursos y demás para hacerse una profesionista y te quede al 100% tu en Tokyo o donde vivas te dedicas a eso … y es una falta de respeto a pesar de que ganas dinero por ello devalúes este tipo de empleos porque una de las principales razones por las que las chicas o chicos se dediquen a este ámbito es por dinero .. ok ? Entiendes ? ) así que intenta solo enseñar sin necesidad de ser egocéntrica y dejarte por el lado de cuánto gastarás .. te has puesto a pensar que de igual manera necesitas comprarte absolutamente todas las herramientas y colores etc para poder hacerlo en casa ? Si quizá te tome meses o días si es que tienes el dinero ($$$$) para comprártelo .. nadie nace en cuna de oro como tú supongo por el hecho de que criticas tanto este ámbito pero si no es así no cae del cielo mi amor las cosas se compran con dinero y si no tienes el apoyo de padres tendrás que buscar adivina que ? exactamente trabajo ! Ojalá te ayude a meditar todo el daño que quizá con simples palabras para que tu mente entienda están bien pero para otros no 😊
