Perfect Prep | The Secret to Long Lasting Nails

[@kimberlyskinner8177]

Great tutorial! We all need a brush up or reminder every so often. You are the first that I have seen to discuss the free edge jaggy bits. I always have them especially when I am removing quite a bit of length. I always remove them, never thought about them really 🤣. Great video,thank you!🥰😘

Right?! They are little buggers and I think a lot of people miss them. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

What a great video Courtney. I found it quite therapeutic watching you prep your nails. I have to admit that I don't pay as much attention to mine as I should. But after watching you, and seeing the end result, I am going to start taking more time with mine. So thank you for your great tutorial. Have a lovely weekend. xxx

Thanks Liz :) I'm glad you liked it and that it was helpful. It took me so long to edit it, I was sick of the sound of my own voice by the end 🤣

It’s always good to have a wee refresher vid on prep. i enjoyed this actually god i feel like i have a sad life now 😂 thanks for sharing lovely lady ♥️xxx

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

Lololol I guess it's quite satisfying to see. I've been waiting for my cuticles to be like this so I could make this video the way I wanted.

@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie I'm trying a different method today.... using hard gel as a glue for falsely's then gel polish. Yes 6 week holidays xxx

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

@@sarahreay16I've heard of people doing that, let us know how it holds up :)

@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie well.... they've lasted bar one from last night mind its hard to cure under my lamp as I only have a standard one. But it's the only time my gel polish looks nice and smooth. I bought bluesky gel polish. When it's on my nails it doesn't look nice. First time I tried I did 2 good coats. Prep base etc. Week later I tried doing really light coats about 3 or 4 and still not as good as they look now on false nails. I'll get there 🤞🏻x

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

Keep at it chick. It takes a lot of practice! You will get there, I promise xo

Great video! I have a lot of bother with the cuticle on my index finger also, it's dreadfully stubborn. Do you happen to know how resistant a gel manicure with a peel off base coat would be?

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

I've got a right stubborn cuticle on one finger too. I've used a couple peel off base coats and none of them actually peeled off so I guess quite resistant 😆😆

[@joys8144]

@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie that's very good to know. I'll maybe give them a miss then. Thanks for getting back to me! Enjoy the rest of your weekend

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

@@joys8144 that's OK! I'm just sitting in the park with the kids, enjoying the sunshine 🌞 have a great weekend too!

[@christineblumchen7277]

Very helpful Video, thank you! I don't buff my nails at all😅 Never had problems with chipping though..

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

That's OK 👍 I love working on a buffed nail. I think its an obsession of mine. 🤣🤣🤣

@@christineblumchen7277 oh thank you 😊 I was sick of hearing it after 6 hours editing this video. I must have watched this through about 50 times 🤣🤣

Prep is key, probably the longest part of my service is my prep 😁

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

Right! It's boring and long and I hate it but needs to be done!
