U sure that’s not your husband practising his e-file skills in the background 😂😂 another fab video Jess. I woke at 4 in the morning here in Ireland to watch this👍👍 your client has amazing toenails 😍

[@luvnailz]

Hahahah Yea I think he would break my e-file!! lol Ireland!!! We hope to visit Ireland for a week and road trip it on our next anniversary in the fall. Are there more techs around? I'd love to do a class if there interest!

[@marinawalsh3117]

Jessica Briarmoon I’m in the North of Ireland. We are part of the United Kingdom. The border separates the north from the south of Ireland. The south is in the EU. There is an akzentz educator in Dublin, south Ireland but none here in the North. Unfortunately I don’t work in nails anymore due to taking ill with fibromyalgia and cfs. That’s why I love your videos so much because it takes me back to my salon days, before I took sick. I miss it so much. If you come here for a holiday then make it a holiday. No classes!!!! Lol you deserve a break. Breathe in all that Irish Sea air and it’ll knock 20 years off you lol

[@luvnailz]

@@marinawalsh3117 Awww. Well, welcome to my nail salon! Glad you enjoy the videos. :) I look forward to exploring Ireland. I guess since there are educators, I'm not quite needed and I'll take your advice and just vacation! :)

[@marinawalsh3117]

Jessica Briarmoon oh Jess I didn’t mean you weren’t needed! I meant that there’s no educators in the North that you could get in touch with and arrange a class but there is 1 in the South that you could arrange something with. Trust me if I still had my salon I’d have a throne waiting for you xx I am living my dream through your videos Jess. I still do my own nails but it’s the craic I miss with all the different types of clients. It’s 05.45 on a Sunday morning here. I’m gonna have a great day and I hope you do also 😊

[@joseortiz-fw7by]

When pushing back cuticles on toes, I go from one corner to the center, the the other corner to the center slowly like a sticker. It makes a big difference! A tip I learned from a Russian manicurist

[@AlodiaLozano]

Marisol could be a toe nail model, what a great nail plate she's got.

[@candicetowns1947]

Where did you get those nail clippers ?! I’d really love some for work they look like they work wonderfully.

[@florenciaalvarez9966]

Wish i had these Type of toe nails

[@henrymao2407]

Me too.

[@sharicampbell9068]

Omg! I have been looking for that type of brush for 6 years!!! Must get!

[@skinessentialsbypam1]

Yay! Love watching, I learn so much. Thank you! 💖

[@anahicalvo2653]

Love ve your work, lovely pedi, could I please see your pedi set up and how you station everything? I struggle with the light and the foot rest, would love to see how yours works. Thank you in advance 🙏🏻😊

[@raya74]

Omg i LOVE your nails in this video ! Do you have a video

[@mica022]

My name is Shamica also! When you said it in the video, I looked around lol 😂🤦🏾‍♀️

[@michelledana555]

Hi. Thx for great video. Where do I order sani ban?

[@RealWorldNailsLuvNailz]

luvnailz.com for all products used

[@JLAnails]

Hi Jessica, could you please show your pedi chair set up?

[@bluebutterflies379]

What your speed on zebra band and is it in forward position?

[@RealWorldNailsLuvNailz]

The zebra bands are from Luvnailz. And I’m right handed, so it’s always in the forward position for toes.

[@MsKG-nl5ot]

Hello, where can I get the nail clipper?

[@tinalee3374]

Is your curing lamp inside the pedi basin? If so, do you use a little platform or does it just sit on the bottom of the resin/glass bowl?

[@luvnailz]

Not whole bench was custom designed. The platform is on its own spot. They scoot over on the bench if they are doing water portion. The sink is higher so they soak comfortably hanging their feet into the tub.

[@michelleturcotte7100]

Thank you for the shout out I said to my son my fav NAIL tech shouted out to me

[@RealWorldNailsLuvNailz]

If you are talking the color we started with, I believe it was Pulse which is an orange.

[@winkingowl1913]

Do your pretty nails last long when you do pedicures? I love long nails, but I have a hard time protecting mine from getting messed up. Love the videos! Thank you!

[@RealWorldNailsLuvNailz]

Kristy Montgomery they do fine with Luxio! I think quality of product has a lot To do with it. If I wore regular polish I’m sure they would bet they would mess up more.

[@PRINCESSNAILSBYDIANA]

Ok so I would LOVE to use the arbor bands but I have issues with the polish clogging the bands to much

[@dariush3454]

her speed it up super high

[@PRINCESSNAILSBYDIANA]

OHHH MY G!!! I NEED THOSE TOE CLIPPERS!!!!

[@cwdgomez]

What does a pedi with the spa look like. Would you do the spa last to avoid from foot soaking in water?

[@jessicahoel]

I used to do that but I found it doesn't make any difference, after I do all cuticle work on the toes and have them ready for color (about 20 min) I cleanse very well with alcohol and it dries them good enough that I never have problems with adhesion.

[@zamandlovu702]

What color is this..is it orange color or red ?

[@maggielovestoads]

I’m curious as to why some states don’t allow you to use cuticle nippers?

[@Rehptawr]

I think because it's potential for them to cut the skin and cause an infection but I'm not 100% sure

[@jacinthabellairs7028]

Must be nice having a pinky toenail 😒

[@Rehptawr]

Is it common to not have a pinky toe nail? My aunt doesn't either

[@beatahp335]

I am wondering what kind of a nail file you are useing ? The toes look great by the way

[@beatahp335]

@@luvnailz Thanks for the info but I am in Canada , will look around here , thanks anyway

[@renaecrittenden5667]

This client has beautiful nailbeds.

[@جهاد-ز3ن]

Besutiful toe nails ❤❤❤❤

[@vshump]

Wish I could see your light placement. Always have to guide my client's toes in to the light. Thank you for showing your version.

[@luvnailz]

Shoot me an email and I'll take a pic this week. The light is right on the platform and they just slide in.

[@ChristinaVVM]

Jessica Briarmoon - I had the same question. I hate doing gel toes because they take so long with me holding the light over each foot before moving on. I’m in a new salon (new to me) and if I could figure out a set up where I could get them done faster I’d love it. Will you share your email so I can see the pic too please? Thanks in advance!

[@luvnailz]

@@ChristinaVVM Since there are a few of you that want to see my set up I'll do a short video of my pedi area and show it :)

[@VercettiMoniiee]

what bit did she use for cleaning up the nail , im talking about the one at 11:40

[@jessicahoel]

I used the #459 bit from Atwood (sold at luvnailz.com). - its by far my favorite prep bit for toes or new nails.

[@rrhopewell]

Her feet really was very pretty. That was a pretty color

[@cathyparnell6743]

So if you do a spa pedicure with gel polish….Do you do the gel polish or the wet pedi first?

[@RealWorldNailsLuvNailz]

I do the wet party first. I used to think it mattered. It doesn’t. :)

[@PRINCESSNAILSBYDIANA]

Did she say Bellview?!?!? Are u in Pittsburgh

[@jacquelinebanks1660]

Oh gosh I’m so excited your great

[@NettaLynx]

Hi, do you use different gel polishes for toe nails or do you use the same? Beautiful job and oh my, would die for those toe nails!

[@luvnailz]

I use the same colors, heavens double of all 300 colors?! That would be crazy! But I do have a Base Coat and Top coat on my pedi cart I just use for pedis :)

[@teresedonahue3529]

Curious question....you say during other hand videos that you use Shine on for toes not Top Gloss. Why?

[@RealWorldNailsLuvNailz]

Typically I like to use regular top glass because I think the viscosity is better for hands when I’m doing glitters or anything else. I can get a little bit more shape to it and it doesn’t run into the cuticles. With toes the surface area is so small that I’m not trying to get any shape at all and just a very thin coating for shine. So this is typically why I just use shine on. Might as well save the step and not do the wiping of the tacky layer because shine on has no tacky layer

[@teresedonahue3529]

Thanks Doll!

[@teresedonahue3529]

Question number 2! Never in my long career of Pedicures have I come across a client who had a missing toe nail. I know a lot of runners now and wonder if they have this problem, cause we do as runners, what in the world can I do about it.

[@sarahdossor296]

Please can I have this CLIENT...., her toenails are perfect!!!!! I WOULDN'T EVEN MIND THEM MYSELF I can mess around with mine forever and they wouldn't look as good as her before you even get started... Wow what a wonder.

[@luvnailz]

LOL She does have perfect toes!! I tell her all the time. Quite a unicorn!

[@cweaver7429]

What kind of bit are you using for the polish removal? My med sand bit can be but rough...

[@luvnailz]

I use the zebra sanding bands that I carry. All bands are not created equal. Some are VERY bumpy and the zebra ones are course but don't have uneven bumps.

[@lindapowell7268]

how much do you charge for just gel polish toes without the spa vs with the spa pedi?

[@RealWorldNailsLuvNailz]

Gel toes is $65. Adding the soak, callus removal and scrub and massage is +$20

[@chickennugitslayer1736]

When adding the Spa Services to your pedi do you still soak the foot in the beginning or do you do the gel then soak, scrub massage?

[@RealWorldNailsLuvNailz]

I soak in the beginning. I used to think it made a difference whether I soaked later or sooner but since the prep process takes about 20 minutes and I cleanse the toes twice really good with alcohol before going to gel, I have found that they are dehydrated enough that there is no problem and no differences soaking first.

[@cwdgomez]

Hi, Where are your clippers from?

[@lizbent7993]

Where did you get your clippers?

[@RealWorldNailsLuvNailz]

Mine are ancient! LOL. But I now have similar awesome pedi clippers at LuvNailz.com

[@rhod4real]

Please how did you position the feet on

Am I going crazy or do u have some EdgeLetto n some reg nails?

[@angelicasilva4018]

Did you used the led lamp?

[@RealWorldNailsLuvNailz]

Yes led

[@peacelovebug99]

Redmond?? Do you live in Oregon?

[@RealWorldNailsLuvNailz]

Washington. We have Redmond too ;)

[@Nailsbyjo]

If they come back for a soak off only and not a new pedicure service , how much do you charge for the removal if you do?

[@RealWorldNailsLuvNailz]

armando sosa I rarely have clients not have them redone. But I do have one client that forgets to book and asks me to remove her color after a few months. It takes me about 5 min to remove so I just charge $5 and it’s not additional time on my book, I always have leftover time from her nail appointment. If someone had to book in time it would be a 15 min spot (my shortest spots) and thus $20.

[@lovegyal3966]

Where do you have your dust fan at?

[@jessicahoel]

At this time I didn't have one. Now I have a sunflower fan/lamp over the toes.

[@brittanakenlock4114]

Isn’t luxio polish suppose to last for 18 months? Shown on the bottle

[@RealWorldNailsLuvNailz]

Well your clients toes won't last 18 months, they would grow out far before then. LOL. But yes, in the bottle, Luxio is good for a long time.

[@MizzRivera86]

[@pamthompson3812]

I will NEVER use gel for toenails again. Almost impossible to get off and did damage to my toenails

[@RealWorldNailsLuvNailz]

I'm sorry you didn't go to someone that knew what they were doing. Applying or Removing improperly can certainly cause damage!

[@lynnwood5560]

Why aren't you filing the nails?

[@RealWorldNailsLuvNailz]

Lynn Wood I just do one file/shape at the very end so doing it earlier just adds another step and more time that isn’t necessary.

[@decoupagenails3567]

Maybe the tea tree oil is the secret to great toes......They look great!

Filling after gel application..

[@luvnailz]

Was this a question you had?

[@rarecoral212]

@ wow that was a quick response. In school we learned filling before nail paint application. That technique was new to me..

[@luvnailz]

@@rarecoral212 After you apply gel, the free edge will feel thicker than they need to be. Filing the edge will give it a sharp, crisp and finished appearance. What you learn in school is a basic technique. When you've been doing nails 20+ years you develop real world techniques. :)

[@csillaujhazy3226]

Nobody realized, that on big toes are a big yellow stain is mean FUNGAL!!!!!!

Can u do more pedicures please

[@PRINCESSNAILSBYDIANA]

WHOOP WHOOP, Hey HAY Diva. I'm new 2 Ür channel and I LOVE Ü already. So I also offer this service. I call it a PartialPedi. May I ask how much u charge 4 this service. I charge 20 for the service and 10 more for gel polish so 30. I was wondering if I'm beating my own head in lol.

[@RealWorldNailsLuvNailz]

Im glad you are enjoying it! You are charging less than half what I do! This service is $70. I have a totally different clientele who don't mind paying more because they know I use quality products and I'm very detailed. Its near impossible to make the jump fro $30 to $70 because you have a different kind of clientele. Look at the time it takes you and all your expenses and see if your career is sustainable long term at what you are charging.

[@PRINCESSNAILSBYDIANA]

@@RealWorldNailsLuvNailz thanks a MILLION!!! I will DEFINITELY do that! Thanks 4 your help!!!
