TRYING APRES GEL-X NAIL EXTENSION SYSTEM - NO DRILL HAND FILE ONLY

In this video, I'm testing out the Apres Gel-X Nail Extention System in the base colors on myself
I had a lot of requests for this so I thought I would include doing this for DIY nail enthusiasts and make it step by step application and prep WITHOUT a drill (E-file) and using a hand file only
Apres was NOT sponsored in any way and was purchased by me and I chose to review

Just a tip: if you have a cuticle nipper, they work great for just cutting the product that seeps out at the cuticle.

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

🙌🏻

[@TotallyKayla]

Omg! Freaking genius! Lol thank you!

[@angiestojanovski1463]

Very Clever!!!!!

[@adrianleandro4315]

Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost my login password. I would love any help you can offer me.

[@kairaul2695]

@Adrian Leandro instablaster =)

[@patriciagallacher6741]

I also commented on someone else's video who sized their tips and measured them up but then prepped their nails and pushed back their cuticles, l said you are best prepping first then file and shape your tips since pushing back the cuticle after measuring the shape may change the shape of your cuticle so then you would be filing the nails again. Great video and I'm so glad you pointed this out that the steps of doing things are important.

[@Longhairprettynails]

So cute 😍. Love this shape on you 💅🏾

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

Awe thanks!!! love your videos 🙌🏻💕

[@bp4548]

I LOVE BOTH OF Y’ALLS VIDEOS!!!

[@nailcreationsamanda]

Another cool tip-use a brush w/ acetone instead of filing the underside of the tip. Works great and less dust :-)

[@gizz7765]

Thank you so much for this easy step by step tutorial!!!❤❤❤❤

[@wannasites435]

I can’t wait to try these. The colors are so pretty. Painting and decorating my Apres sets takes the longest. I’m not the greatest at polishing yet, so I go really slow. It will be great having tips I can quickly apply when I don’t want to spend the time to polish.

[@whiterussian0889]

Wow those tips are a beautiful color! Thanks for making a video with an extremely simplified process, you made it as simple AS IT SHOULD BE 👍🥰

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

Thanks I was trying to make it really easy to understand 💕💕💕

[@TotallyKayla]

I love how simple this set is! It's gorgeous

[@Jadeyeager]

Great video, for future reference you can etch the nails with a bit of acetone to prevent damaging the colored nails. Apres’ has an amazing product line!!

[@dawndelosmuertos4025]

Great video! I've been on the fence about these kits, mainly because they are so costly. Right now I use IBD hard gel on my natural nails but I like to remove it, cut my nails down and re-do them every 6 months or so. This looks like a viable alternative since I have most of the products needed, I'd just have to purchase tips, bottle gel and that's probably it. There are a number of companies making these gel nails, most say that you can do fills as they grow out and are easy to remove. Looks good! Thank you for the informative video!

[@kathytarman2302]

Easy to do and they look great. That is for me. Thank you for sharing this with us. Stay safe and healthy.

[@pattsiesstudio3196]

I'd love to see you making a vedio of the removal process of these. Love your videos!

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

Good idea!

[@carltongirl95]

Love the colour of those tips Sarah it's a shade that could be worn anywhere...thankyou for sharing and stay safe 💜💅💜

[@shihtzuluvrtwo6386]

Nice, they look good on you! Some day, when I'm out of hard gel 🙃 I want to try them out. TFS, smooches to the puppers😘

[@emmaclayton7948]

I love these. Would you be able to do a video on how you remove them when you do take them off? xx

[@inneloypolanco5151]

Emma Clayton Since they’re sort of like poly gel, trimming and soaking them in acetone should work.

[@emmaclayton7948]

@@inneloypolanco5151 thank you so much 😘 xx

Thank u so much for this, best apres tutorial by far! And no dislikes!! I'm so excited for you! Ur amazing and thanks again 😘💗

I would love to see you try Kiara Sky’s new Gelly Tips Starter Kit! I’m curious if you think that kit is similar or better than Aprés.

[@natashaowens2177]

The Kiara Sky light is perfect that comes in the kit.

[@patricenailedit]

Just beautiful Sarah 😍😍💖 love that nude color on you!

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

Thank you!

[@mitzi81758]

I love these better than the tips in ur other video as they look much easier to apply! 😎 I need to get on board as my fingers are Sore!😱 ty !can you let me know about how long these will last too please?

I love the length of those nails so they’re just a nice size not too long not too short

[@nelidasotelo3067]

Beautiful nails! Excelent tutorial!💖💅🙏

[@ashleysowers9904]

I was wondering about these ones o got the vivids but you can still see through them more jelly colors. I may go ahead and buy these ones as well. Thanks for sharing ♥️

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

I wanted to get the vivid 🤔 they look pretty cool

[@FoodieBeautyStan]

That color is beautiful on her.

[@SaDyHe]

You can also use a primer to etch the inside of the nails. It’s way easier if you don’t have an e file or a file that can fit into the nail.

[@RitaM0422]

Very Pretty love the color

[@Jolie702]

You should try using acetone to etch the inside of the tip. Its much easier than trying to use a regular nail file when you dont have an efile

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

Great idea!

[@lisawood4903]

Love your videos! Those nails are beautiful!!

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@noelthompson8932]

Do you have to use gel or can you use glue?

[@britnikpow8445]

Girl! Please try poly gel! Love your vids!

[@madisonanderson100]

First, and I wish my nail beds were as nice as yours 😣 my nails grow upward like a ski jump, how would you fix that with acrylic? And would this system be a better alternative for nails biters?

[@anthonylloyd2708]

Madison Anderson it’s brilliant for both Ived used it on nail voters and lasts well just get them to come back for a fill or fresh set about 7-10 days later, and ski jump is fine this system is great sometimes you need to apply more gel to certain nail beds but yeah highly recommend!

[@madisonanderson100]

These turned out good! Thanks for the review 💜💜

[@jenniferbaezabreu3210]

Do you cure ur own nails also under the light?

[@kibaetienne2171]

I find these tips so pretty

[@mitsune_xx]

Just got this kit after watching. I cannot WAIT to give it a try! I'm a horrible nail biter and I have done my own acrylics but I just cannot devote all the time it takes to sit and sculpt my nails. THIS system may just be the ticket for me [:

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

🤞🏻

[@igiam_drea_boo8294]

They are great, just wondering if the tips can break / take off from the gel on the finger? Are they as strong as acryl nails or do they break easy?

[@hannaformakeup8248]

Those nails look beautiful on you! The shape, the color, the length... beautiful ❤️

[@OfficialLadyDarkSky]

i am glad you love it as much as i do :) i have tried two sets these and their full colour set, just haven't tried the kira sky yet because 1 they are all sold out and 2 they don't make the short tips :(

[@angiestojanovski1463]

Thank you for sharing looking gorgeous. Did you use the natural or the sculpture nails. just perfect I am a nail Tech from Perth Western Australia and am now allergic to HEMA So therefore looking for another alternative. I just have to find the right product to place underneath. Not sure if your product will be suitable. Perhaps I can use with a HEMA Free product do you have an advice regarding this.

[@DreamyBellaNails]

They look so pretty! And easy to do 😭 but I bet it takes practice too.. How long do they last? And always waiting for your videos 🥰

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

3+ weeks! Remove by soak off Thanks for watching!!!

[@patriciagallacher6741]

I turn my lamp upside down when doing full cover tips like this, much easier just keep the glare away from the eyes.

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

Ya actually great idea!!

[@pollykettle4969]

Hey how long do these last

[@kimberleybarrett6485]

Hi Sarah, have you tried the kiara sky gelly tip system?.....looks a little easier than the apres 💕 x

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

Not yet maybe I’ll order them in to try

[@amyantunez5007]

A good tip as well, put a thin coat of primer on the tips before you put the extend gel on the tips.

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

Good tip

[@WeGoJaiye]

My question is ... would the light fully penetrate the coloured tips to cure the gel beneath? TIA

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

I think that’s why they are slightly transparent

[@Eva-sv6qc]

Can I use CND gel ?

[@spotteddog1716]

OK I ordered these and I absolutely love them. But… I got the sculpted ones and not realizing that means, they had a very pronounced c-curve. I cannot get them to stay on my nails as my nail beds are flatter. I just realized that ! LOL. Any tips to try and help them stay? I do everything you’re supposed to but they literally pop off within a few hours. I have used the Kiera sky ones and not had this problem.I’m so bummed!

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

Are you using the gel with them or gluing them on??

[@femketjeNL]

I really love the shape of these :D

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

Same!

[@dkel8665]

Hey Sarah! Most of the time I use a system together (prep products and gel), but is there anything proprietary about the extend gel? I'm curious to know, I have tips on route but I didn't purchase the gel 😊

[@bp4548]

I haven’t gotten around to using mine yet it just came on Monday. But it looks and feels thick like a builder gel in a bottle. I think any builder gel will work.

[@bp4548]

I ordered the kit with the bottle gel not the pot gel.

[@wondernessful]

That is soooo pretty. I’ve never adhered tips via gel cure. Does it adhere just as well as glue?

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

I’ve applied with glue it doesn’t last as well gel last 3+ weeks but it works well and last 1+ weeks with good care

[@MarraNarra]

I really want to try their tips on day but their long too short lol, have you tried or plan to try their XL lengths?

[@Slim.Beautiful]

I just bought this set and Kiara Sky’s set as well. The price is high but I’m really hope it’s worth worth it 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

I want to try the kiara sky ones let me know if they’re similar

[@megs7019]

These are cute fun nails.... do they come in different lengths of tips styles....? I’ve got long nails and have lots of grow out from getting my nails done around 7 weeks I’m worried bout them bending cause they are so long!

[@shihtzuluvrtwo6386]

Yes, they have different lengths and shapes

[@corriesites2431]

Hi Sarah, what style tips did you use in this video? Sculpted?Natural? Short? Etc.

[@SarahsNailSecrets]

Sculpted medium stiletto

[@taylormennie1983]

Can you use base gel instead of extend gel?

[@TiffanysBunnyGang]

I did these, how long did they last? Mine only lasted 5 days before piping off. I was really struggling to get the bubbles out.

[@jenn601]

Make sure there's no dust underneath and I usually turn the light on as I am applying the nail. This is so I don't have to try and turn it on while holding the nail down. Keep trying though, you'll get it!

[@analogfool]

I was just on eBay looking for these!!!

[@jaimyslijfer9145]

Can you still paint these? Or is there a “film” on them?

[@christina6166]

How do you fill these? I just got the ugly duckling tipeez to make my own press on nails cause it just takes so long to do my own nails. But it was so fast to put these on now I’m wondering how do you fill them. I don’t want to have to start putting acrylics back on. Any ideas?
