Out of this whole seashell nail trend, this is by far the best I've seen.❤

[@_Daijah_Vu_]

For gel x, a sanding band works best for the cuticle, at least for me. It’s also less scary lol

[@Jadiex18]

I agree

[@jamillaworsley1790]

This is such a beautiful set Vic!!! And i also like gel x nails as well they are awesome. And i love the details on each nail. I truly enjoyed this nail set

[@SanrioOlivee]

so what you were asking about being so tired from the sun, it actually is to do with the serotonin you get from being in the sun the whole day! and ik you said you weren’t in the sun but there was still heat and rays from the sun around you so yeah, pretty cool imo and that why when you spend the whole day at the beach, pool, or somewhere in the. sun the whole day, you feel so tired and you actually get better sleep! lol ídem if you’re going to read this but if you are, hiiii 🤍🤍🍓

[@she_phineapple2178]

This is such an early 2000s vibe!! I love it

[@ashleynelson500]

[@bsbsixboals9500]

out of all the tuts ive watched, this gotta be the most entertaining one so far ;-;

[@laurareynolds6603]

So beautiful

[@pamluxford5854]

I think out of those 2 choices I’d opt for gel X for the exact reasons you mentioned. But if given an option I will always sculpt my nails on paper forms with hard gel. I love customising my form to get the slimmest nails possible. These are a gorgeous set. ❤

[@simplybritty]

Beautiful as usual 😍😍😍

[@Insidekimsworld]

I enjoyed this so much went back and watched it again. I will be looking up your channel and watching more videos.

Beautiful set 🩵

[@tachinajohnson7]

I have these full cover nail tips from shein as well. They are the best. I just add polygel or builder gel on top for added strength. Love your videos. You're so creative! 😊

[@kaiaxxpride1691]

This is so cute

[@NailsByVic]

Thank youuu!!🩵🩵

ur natural nails are epicly attractive, mine are tiny and flat since i bit my teeth when was a kid!!! never fully recovered . lucky duck

[@ItsNessaTho]

Oehh I have those exact tips from Shein. They're perfect

[@alyannalede4592]

Your nails are so cute❤

[@ambervarela8569]

I absolutely love the application process in your videos lol! If it was up to me if put all of them into a compilation and just watch it for hours lol 😂

[@The6inchWalker]

Thanks for going back to editing ur videos!!! I always like ur nails but my attention span does not allow me to watch a 3hr live video esp without Reddit stories and most times i skipped thru ur application process to just watch the nail art

[@nailsbymelissafaye]

Love this look so much!!! ❤ also you can get some neon eye shadow palettes from 5 below I just bought some to do some ora nails gonna try it out! I might recreate this nail look love it so much!

[@niqualee9041]

I need to try gel x so my sister can use them as press on since hers pops off often she can just glue em back on. Love the set

[@kodangmodest5327]

They're si nice

[@i_am_nishaj]

This nail set is beautiful!! 😍🤩I agree! Gel-x is pretty easy and faster than polygel but I love both of them! For eyeshadow palettes most Walmart carry this makeup brand called “Profusion Cosmetics.” They have tons of colorful eyeshadow palettes. The three that I recommend for pastel and neon colors are the “pastel, neon, and spectrum” palettes. They’re between $5-$10. They have other palettes too but if Walmart doesn’t have them then Amazon definitely does🫶🏽

[@NotUrLov3r]

I LOVEEEEEEE THE SETTTT SO MUCHHH 🥰💓 and THANK YOU SOOO MUCHHH for putting the links in the descprition that helps me so muchh

[@ConfexxionsOvJaaee]

I’m new here…I love this video and your vibe. Do you have a video about things you need to make press ons? I want to learn and start my nail journey but I have no knowledge.❤

[@B.Flower.92]

Bonitas🌸🧜🏼‍♀️🐚

[@breidowell]

Super duper cute! I like doing gel-x sets because it’s a little quicker and you can fit them to your nail specifics, but I like press-ons for the occasions when you want a cute nail set for certain events or short periods of time.. I just feel like, since you aren’t applying press-ons with gel, just glue or tabs, they seem to pop off easier- wish there was a way to apply pre-decorated nails with gel instead. ❤

[@DeadGirl-oz3vl]

Have you tried applying them with a clear acrylic bead? That works well for press ons you want to keep on for a while😊

[@elizabethnachivula5722]

Beautiful set💅🏽 If I use base coat will the nails still last long?

[@jordalyallen2817]

Hello, as always a beautiful video. You are really talented. I just wanted to ask you how long your nails last without lifting with Jello's removable coat?

[@NailsByVic]

Hi there! While using the jello jello base, the nails have lasted me 2 weeks, but that was because I could only keep them on that long. I think they could have lasted much longer. It’s very similar to a normal base coat until you add the gel remover that easily pops them off.

[@Chanettes_Unique]

Where did u purchase the gel remover, can u post a link?

[@peanut2089]

Can you link the pink liner brushes you're using in this video?

[@emperorshe1644]

What gel nail remover oil stuff is that (when you remove your old set)?

[@BenitaSFB]

Hi Vic, was the blue set on your left hand gel-x? Can you do a video on gel-x nails that same length? (If it’s possible ❤️)

[@Elenachavezzz]

I also do nails and I usually put base coat but I’ve never had not put it on but they came out really good so now I’m debating if I need base coat! 😂

[@melissapuppe4104]

I def prefer gel x.

[@TheCristieboricua]

Can you please link the gel remover oil ?

[@maureencannell9683]

Stunning nails art xx❤

[@ellaclifford1952]

hey i’m new to gel x, how long do these typically last?

[@rikkemangelsenkeramik765]

Does it matter what kind of base coat I use for gluing on the extensions

[@kaodiokafor322]

Can i ask, what’s the difference between the 3d nail art and the thick movable one you used for the ring finger flower??

[@ShauntayaSullivan-ii3sd]

😊

[@THEEChristiana]

Both

[@mariesart]

For you rdrill bits you can clean them with soap, water and a brush and then disinfect with barbercide

[@Forever_MeMe]

I can't do designs to save my life so I buy press on nails from Shein. BUT to make them last and look more like acrylic nails, I buy clear acrylic and clear dip powder and mix together, buy the liquids for the dip powder and a gel top coat. I sometimes use a base gel to put my press ons on like gel x but I normally just use nail glue. Prep your nails like you normally would before adding nail extensions, 4 layers of clear dip, harden, file, and then apply gel top coat. Lasts me more than a month each set.

[@janellybean1019]

u do wonderful work are u a nail tech or self taught?

[@sarahalmon3662]

omg i have never seen anyone glue gel x nails with base coat...how long would they stay on if you didnt have the jello jello on? is base coat any softer or easier on your natural nails then the gel glue that like comes in the starter kits

[@janellybean1019]

those are hott

[@EsmeraldaMorales-k7q]

Do you glue them?

[@lovablenae1]

Hey are you in the US? I need the jello jello but cant find any websites. Affordable anywah 😅

[@shallower08]

can I glue on the nail after the design like a press on? 🙉

[@gyovannaassis2652]

Indas ❤❤

[@jessgodd]

Us New Yorkers do long nails so long is the way to go just so you blend in a bit

[@sarahalmon3662]

just being in the heat drains the hell out of me idk bout you

[@hannahgallegos5572]

im not really digging the cheetah leopard print lol, but it's still cuuute

[@sabrinader3667]

What is your prep when you want your nails to last a really long time?

[@sarahalmon3662]

i do think you are using the right bit for your cuticles because that is more of a safety bit it's not supposed to cut up your skin

[@SheSoIndigo]

I do nails and live in Brooklyn come by!

[@LittleLivisLab-pf1cv]

Hey

[@NailsByVic]

Hey!!❤❤❤

[@heavens_lil_meowmeow]

Your nails are always hitting. I would love it if you'd adjust your focus so we can see the details of when you do the nailart though 🥺

[@NailsByVic]

No it totally agree, I need to improve that. Ever since I got those new phone the focus has been acting crazy so it constantly focuses on my glove. I need to adjust the angle, but sometimes it’s a bit hard when I’m in the moment and I’m so focused of the nails you know. But I’ll try and improve that, thank you for the comment🩷🩷

[@briirene3156]

I appreciate all the time and effort you put in your videos 🥹 the live’s are always fun too 🤎 I use the same drill bits to seal my cuticles

[@milanisrivas5346]

hii Vic, I know you pop these off but do you find these tips to be durable? I love gel-x and i’m currently on the hunt for the most affordable/durable with minimal effort in shaping, any suggestions ?!🤍

[@Jadiex18]

Hey guys, any tips on runny foundation gel? I’m used to kinda thick gel for the tips but recently bought a new gel and it’s runny… should I put it in a fridge or something? 🥲

[@yesi1107]

room temperature matters
