*taps mic* is this thing on?

[@lisamcgrath9314]

i have to say this that you take my breath away on amazingly beautiful job you do with your nails 😊

[@MarcoAntonio-nw3sm]

Just a question, do you like Tame Impala?

[@torridmess]

You have absolutely stunning natural nails.

[@chrisg2419]

I missed your Halloween decorate with me videos this year. And I hope Louie is doing awesome!

[@swannee22]

It’s such a blessing to be able to grow beautiful long nails like you can!!! Some of us try, but we just can’t do it….so thank you for teaching us all the other ways to have pretty nails!!!

[@haileinguyen2368]

I have never heard anyone mention the same issues I have with my nails. My natural nails would also curl. Especially in hot water or even just soaking off product. I've noticed that almond shaped nails suit me better because of the strong c curve. Thank you so much for sharing your tips and tricks but also your nail journey!!

[@emerald_mtn]

Your natural nails are amazing!!

[@TheBeautyVault]

thank you!! 💘

[@arinickroo7637]

Yayy! Soo happy to see another video from you! Your natural nails look stunning! Hope all is well :)

[@acrismadeeasy5745]

Thank you so much for making this video! I thought I couldn't use my dip powder any longer due to dip flu. I tried this method and they came out terrific. Strong and the overall look and shape was great.

[@meganrobertson9068]

Yes! Omg, I was just thinking I haven’t seen a video in a while and am watching your older tutorials. Bam, I get notified you uploaded a new one! ❤

[@TheBeautyVault]

i’m back baby. 🥳

[@swannee22]

Another great video! Ive wanted to try this method for a long time. Altho I will never apply 6 coats of powder, this works so much better than the regular dip method and as you’ve said is much healthier!!!😊

[@lynnbiggs9565]

Welcome back!! I have learnt so much with your videos and have gone from bitten nails to beautiful long, Gelish Sculpture and All in One Powder. Thank You ❤ Been keeping an eye on your Chanel and hanging out for new video, please don’t leave us again 😂 as usual, beautiful set ❤

[@eclectic_housewife]

Can you do this method with rubber base?

[@npayne7776]

Thank you for this! Using the builder gel is so much better than the gel base. Itv gives it more strength and structure. I was not liking the gel base. Especially when my nails are long. YOU ROCK🤟🏾

[@kimberlyskinner8177]

OMG!!! SO HAPPY TO SEE YOUUUUU! Nail rods have changed my life!!! YOU ARE AN ANGEL! I haven't seen anyone else ever talk about them. Now that you are here,I believe keeping my nails natural causes stress cracks!!!!! I removed all product, as I had to clean bird, squirrel and bunny cages and do pre - winter plant chores and repotting. My damn free edge is only 1/4 inch long and STILL DAMN SIDE STRESS CRACKS! I am an idiot! I did use Danni and Toni gel strips to stop the snagging. OMG! SO HAPPY TO SEE YOUUUUU!!!!🎉💗🤩😍💓

[@TheBeautyVault]

that’s awesome!! so glad they helped. 🥰

[@danesegresch8410]

[@Markeda005]

Yaay! I missed seeing your videos! Glad you're back. Thanks for sharing!

[@suzie3182]

So glad I found your video. I had the dip flu bad. It took me about 7 tries and a trip to the ER before I put 2 and 2 together. I thought I could never use dip powder again so I gave away all my supplies. Anyways, I just did the dip with gel method (thank you). So far so good. I would love recommendations for French pink and white powder for French design in the future. Thank you again 👏🏻💜

[@ElectricAngel181]

Just paused at the 4 minute mark to say FINALLY you’re in the blue cross wagon *insert sloppy happy dance* I’ve used it for over 4 years now and love it to death. I’d always seen you use the sally Hansen one that never worked for my tough as stone cuticles and was like hmm ok I guess. So that. Glad to see you’re loving it. Ok back to the vid.

[@TheBeautyVault]

been on the blue cross wagon for a year now and never getting off!

Wow those look sooo great. Im doing my polygel nails today 1st time. That how i found ya! Great tips.

[@bymorganco]

hello 👁️👄👁️ i am loving this, gonna have to try the dip powder method sometime soon! when i get a peel off base coat. currently in a depressive episode so i’ve bitten all my nails to stubs but this is giving me inspiration and motivation to try and grow them out a lil 💛

[@blazedonut710]

I’m with you in the dark place. Just stopping by to say hi

[@laciehamblin8584]

Ooo I’m Going to do this instead of the poly nails. I liked the poly but it was way too sticky and messy, this seems so much easier, I’ll have to use fake nails. Maybe I’ll be able to grow mine out like that down the road

[@tys8684]

[@johnroe6455]

Hi 👋 thanks for your video. I have a dumb question I am a huge SNS fan but I am interested in trying the gel method. Can you build the apex with gel like you can with regular dip liquid base?

[@Didarina4]

how do you keep your natural nails so healthy? I would love for mine to grow that long & not have to use tip extensions

[@terrip8451]

I love your videos! I'm unable to do my nails anymore unless I'm using artificial nails 😭 but still enjoy your videos. I started having a reaction to gel. I tried multiple brands and 12-free or higher gels, but sadly they all cause reactions. Nail glue has been fine, though, as well as traditional polish.

[@validwithoutphoto1389]

I get allergies as well. But once I used madam glam I don't have the issue as bad anymore. I found it was mostly base gels. But madam glam have worked for me even when I use just the base from MG. But also they sell polish with the base and top in it. You say you've tried so I'm assuming you may have tried MG just wanted to tell in case you haven't. Good luck

[@bunnyx66]

You’re back 🥹💛 wanted to ask you how long you go in between your gel manicures? I’ve heard about letting your nails breathe and using cuticle oil but how effective is using the oil with product on your nail?

[@A2BeautyByLeslie]

On the tiny brush do you have nail polish remover, to wipe the cuticle area before curing? TYIA

[@Harlow8280]

I did miss you!!!!

[@angiebrown4104]

Hi , I'm new to your Channel & I'd love to know where you got your Cuticle nippers from..? Please xx Also I find that I have really hard & thick Cuticles 😢 so I would also appreciate it if you could advise me on where to buy a good Natural Cuticle remover aswell 😊 xx ❤ Angie (UK)

[@Asiantiger71]

I really need your help lol. I started doing my own nails about 12 years ago. I started with a simple gel manicure. Then I watched your video about doing the gel/dip combo and started doing that about 6 months ago. Next was your video about builder gel and that's what I've been doing for the last two or three months. Now I want my nails a little longer and I want coffin shape. When I file my own nails, they never turn out how I want them. Idk if I should do tips with hard gel overlay or polygel with full nail extensions, gel x or whatever. There are so many to choose from! I'd like something durable (I do my nails about once a month), easy(ish), although I feel like I can do any of them, and something that's not a total pain to take off. What is your very favorite nail? TIA.

[@sansomrandi15]

So I'm the subscriber who suggested using an amber bottle for your acetone, and I just have to know, is it working well?! Love your videos so much!!🤍

[@TheBeautyVault]

so much better, thank you!! 💘

[@sansomrandi15]

@@TheBeautyVault of course! Your video came out just as I was starting to wonder where you were! 🤍

[@Vnessa98]

Hey girl quick question! I am a girl on a budget and already have a few products for doing my dips nails but would love to do the gel method. I already hav Opi’s Bond Aid pH balancing agent. What would be the bare minimum products other than that to use for prep as well as for doing the actual dip process that you would suggest?!? Would the proBond be better to be the primer, and then like the base coat, do I need the peelable and the gel base coat or could i just get one? And the best op coat? Which ones would you suggest to be absolutely necessary? I like to order on amazon as much as possible and I can also go to the professional store as I am a cosmetologist so i do have that to get a little discount as well. But I’m just trying to get the bare minimum that I need for right now to save money and do my own nails at home! Pretty please and thank you I would greatly appreciate your help! ❤🙏🏽

[@michellemsaylor]

Missed You!

[@TheBeautyVault]

missed you more. 💘

[@swannee22]

Your nails even without the pretty dip are gorgeous! I’ve never been able to grow my nails very long. Please, please what’s your secret(s)?????

[@jillyfae4895]

Always struggled with dip liquids, either they dried too quickly or didn't dry fast enough and usually, no matter how careful I was, they flooded my cuticles. Acetone ate my natural nails, so removal sucked. Took a year off and tried full cover nails with gel. Invested in an e-file and now I do base and dip and love my nails.

[@xomelisssa]

Can u please tell me if you have a drill that works best and you've had for a long time thats bot expensive please

[@madi_ganelin]

do you always completely soak off your previous dip set even if you’re doing dip again? no fills?

[@callenderangela2725]

How long does the mani last with that peel base

[@AhMusic55]

Love your videos ! I also had a bad reaction, I wasn't sure if it was the powder or the liquidsI but I didn't want to go through the agony again to try to figure it out . Do you mind me asking what type of reaction you got? Was it the flu or more like a skin reaction?

[@diamondpribble2677]

It was the flu. She would get really sick!

[@hannarousey698]

Your videos are always worth the wait! Beautiful set 🤩 love the color you mixed up🤌🏽

[@klaudyday749]

"Did you miss me?"....UMMM Yes!! I've been waiting foreverrrrrr for another video. :P

[@TheBeautyVault]

🥰!!!

[@druejackson]

Is there a reason that you apply powder and cure one nail at a time? I’m just curious because wouldn’t it be faster to do base and powder and cure all the nails at once? Just wondering if there’s a specific reason for this, love your videos vibe btw!

[@juliechristie2105]

I was going to say the same thing. X

[@wonderwonder30]

I don’t think she’s curing the individual nails, I think she’s somewhat flash curing so when she working on the other nails she doesn’t mess up the dip powder. This is just a guess but hopefully she will answer cause I’d like to know the answer too 😊

[@TheBeautyVault]

when applying dip powder over gel, any little bump to the nail will dent the gel/powder combo if it’s not cured so i like to cure before moving onto the next nail out of caution in case i bump it on something. my desk is crammed with stuff when i’m filming so i just like to do a quick cure. hope that makes sense!

[@skitso1313]

Dose this method reinforce/thicken like a using a builders gel or no?

[@TheBeautyVault]

yes! gives the nails the same amount of strength/foundation.

[@mdezi]

Could I apply regular nail polish on the top of this?

[@TheBeautyVault]

yes you can. 😍

[@wonderwonder30]

I know this might sound obvious buuuutttt, I was wondering if you could show how you clean/maintain your nails with artificial products on them? I am VERY new to the nail world (first time wearing tips on my nails) and I am finding that “gunk” is building up under my nails. I wash my hands, I promise hehe, and also use a nail brush to clean under the nails but there is still schmutz under my real nails. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated or even a wonderfully choreographed video by you, of course, would be even better 😊

[@TheBeautyVault]

i am so meticulous with keeping my nails clean when they’re long, i’ll add this video idea to my list! 🥰

[@xLexiMarie]

I like the gel method but do you find it changes the color of the powder, if that makes sense? I only have a few nude colors but I found that when I use the regular way with activator it seems to darken the color a weeeeee bit. Which I personally don’t mind, but when I switched to gel I noticed the color was way more intense without the activator

[@eslita123]

Can you use acrylic powder???

[@TheBeautyVault]

yes! dip and acrylic are basically the same thing. “dip” is just marketing. 😬

[@thethrashbird]

can I do this method with natural dip powder and add a gel polish over it with a gel top?

[@TheBeautyVault]

yes you can. 🤩

[@daarmonet]

Hello?

[@staceymaxwell6357]

Question, did you not use activator liquid?

[@TheBeautyVault]

i did not, the gel replaces the base and activator.

[@slayqueen5996]

How are they removed??

[@mlayne130]

I’m struggling so bad doing the gel x method. I’ve tried 3 different brands of full coverage nails, I do alllll the prep work, I’ve used several gel base coats on my natural nail, then I cure a little, then put the same gel base polish in the nail, push it down with no air bubbles, flash cure and then main cure And within 10 minutes they’re POPPING OFF MY NAILS! And then the gel polish is stuck to my nails but the tips aren’t sticking 😭😭 I follow all the correct prep work on my natural nails and I also prep the full coverage nails but idk what I’m doing wrong?! And then I saw another girls video where she used “gel glue polish” but I’ve never eeven heard of gel glue So am I supposed to use plain gel base coat polish for that method or am I supposed to try the gel glue for the tips?? Help a girl out because I cry every time lol, I have bad arthritis all over and it hurts me a lot to sit on my stool for that long- sizing all the nail tips to my nails and filing them to Make sure they’re not too small OR too big, all the prep work , the cure time and then me painting them with gel color and all that. It literally takes me almost 3 hours to do both hands because I’m so careful about the prep work and I try to be thorough. But it’s so frustrating But I prefer the full coverage nail tips compared to the just plain nail tips that you have to glue on and then spend a hundred hours using dip or another method to build the apex

[@tessaelto1472]

Hey so I'm not the creator but I would definitely get some gel glue! I like the Beetles one a lot out of all the ones I've tried. Ive heard before that you can use base coat as glue but when I've tried it it doesn't work. I think things will work out if you switch out the base coat for gel glue!

[@NaildaywithEmily]

I know this is an older video, but I wanted to make a recommendation. The cracks in your nails is because the sidewalls of your nails where the nail is attached to the skin (nail bed) are very overfiled. It's especially noticeable on your thumbs and your pointer (where it curves inward). I think you're overcompensating for how your nails grow and filing way too high up. That being said, i appreciate the step by step for this method as I have to learn dip powder for school so I'm just watching tutorials so I can feel confident in my ability to do this on a model.

[@Romans08.31]

Have you noticed with the gel method it lasting longer than 2 weeks or any less or more lifting? For me seems like gel method lasts longer but regular builder and gel color last me like 5 weeks but dip powder is like 2.5-3 weeks max 😅

[@Clauds71]
