a few technical difficulties later, we are back baby! 💖

[@MouseRata]

Girl, you need to come out with your own nail kit. I’d buy it and support you! Just make sure you have short nail options.😂 Great video per usual!💕

[@TheBeautyVault]

haha maybe one day, i’m so picky! appreciate cha. 💖💖💖

[@JennsCorner777]

@@TheBeautyVault Maybe do a collab with Makartt? They work with several KZbinrs. I've heard their stuff is pretty good.

[@helenburdis1927]

Absolutely!

[@kimberlywright7959]

I agree. But I’ll rock the long nails too lol.

[@melnakabayashi2712]

Exactly my thoughts!

[@danesegresch8410]

Oh I loved this episode and laughed like crazy at the 80’s comment. Even a 71 yr old loves your channel and all that you demonstrate. Thank you for the time you put into your channel. It is very entertaining for me🤗

[@TheBeautyVault]

oh my goodness that makes me so happy! 😂💖 thank you for being here!!

[@chxrliexannx]

adding the little heart is such a great touch for a “minimalist” vday nail set. i’m in love.

[@daarmonet]

ive never been disappointed by any of your nail sets they are always right up my alley !

[@saramartins3391]

You're one of the few KZbinrs whose voice does not drive me insane lol.. I could listen to you all day...

[@BangtanAjumma]

The Fzanest Bases and Diamond Top Coat are chef's kiss!!!!! Amazing for the price!

[@alyssaturner1628]

I love your nail videos! And I LOVE aimeli base and top coat duo. That is the only base coat I can use to get me 3-4 weeks of wear (with dehydrating and priming). I work in healthcare and wash my hands CONSTANTLY and I don’t have issues with lifting. I’ve been wanting to try their builder base!!

[@TheBeautyVault]

thank you so much! 💖 you'll love the builder.

[@amberlynn5826]

I'm 26 and my mom passed away when I was 12. It's her birthday today and I've been saving your video for today. Your videos make me happy and relax me. Thank you for the amazing content!

[@TheBeautyVault]

wow 😭 happy birthday to her! 💖 she is with you every day, probably very proud to have created such a sweet soul. thank you for including me in such a special day. 🥺❤️

[@sachafreedom9134]

Gorgeous!!😍 I was 17 in 1984, and I LOVE this look! I'm buying it. Thank u for the awesome viseos!

[@aprilboyle8407]

IRINA!!! You always have JUST THE BEST background music 😍 The nostalgic 80's-ish music is like half of the reason I love your videos! I want you to know that your nail videos are what gets me through the overwhelming overstimulated days. They always make me feel better... Thank you so much for being you 💖🥰

[@aligv2009]

Thank you❤❤❤💯💯 thanks to you and you're technique...im going on 2weeks already and I'm loving these nails!! Thank you!!😘😘😘

[@pippareyne4601]

New subbie and super late but I love the budget friendly kit you've made! Aimeili builder base and the saviland tips are amazing. Saviland dehydrator & primer are really good and not strong smelling. Gelike also has all starter kit that's $15.99. Alternatives in case any of these are out of stock 😁

[@boujeebelle]

I absolutely luv ur videos!!! Especially with the Gel X system❤

[@XoDru]

Your nails are pretty and those gel polish shades are beautiful ❤. I use Fanzest gel polish in a nude brown ( #301) , its such a pretty color.

[@Llamahsan]

The hearts were such a perfect touch! Subtle but so freaking cute!

[@Magpiegiggles]

This was a great idea. I hope you and your bunny are doing well. Your videos make me so happy; it really is like seeing a friend after a long time away. Keep up the great work and stay safe! 💗

[@magicsp3lls]

I’ve been getting into diy nails lately and your videos are by far my favorite out of everyone I’ve watched! I love your voice, your vibe and your background music. Subscribed 💜

[@VanityFading]

I've been doing my gel tips like this for the past year with stuff I've found on Amazon and its just as good!

[@QmissAttitude]

Do you recommend normal tips or gel tips? I’ve been debating due to the cost.

[@MyCrimsonMischief]

@@QmissAttitude whichever one is more cost-effective, it doesn't really matter when applied. it's just that the gel tips have a bigger array of sizes and shapes.

[@izzyhope4273]

You are so talented and I love this set so much! It’s so great that you found less expensive alternatives to the gelly tips system! Appreciate you💜💜

[@TheBeautyVault]

thank you so much!! 💖

[@whiterussian0889]

I enjoy using poly gel as the sticking medium, but for my poly gel to adhere to my nail AND the full cover tip, I must have base coat cured on my nail and the full cover tip SEPARATELY. I clean for a living and wear gloves often...have YET to lose a nail and it goes soooo quickly putting them on!!!

[@carish1452]

Thanks for this tip! I’m going to try that as I’ve had 0 luck with polygel sticking power.

[@dyanimoriah]

So then after you applied the poly gel to your natural nail and the full cover tip (both cured) you then apply another coat to your natural nail out on the full cover tip and cured?

[@Batsnang]

Thanks for the tip! I just purchased stuff to do Gel-X nails on the cheap, with polygel as my sticking medium, so this is invaluable to me 😊

[@Mindaaayroxs]

I just stumbled upon your videos.. I’ve been binging since 830am this morning 😂 I have my Sally’s beauty cart loaded with the products you’ve used. I love your tutorials. You go so in depth & I appreciate that. You make me feel confident that I can do this. Everything takes practice & patients. Thank you for all the different kinds of materials & videos you use. Such a variety!

[@ElectricAngel181]

Girl..... I have so many nice things to say . I mainly want to tell you what an amazing Nail Tech ( I know your self taught) I have been watching your videos ever since you started this awesome channel. Your explanations of things, step by step instructions. You Rock 🥰❤❤ and You are The Bomb. Ty so much .

[@lovsweet25]

Always keeping it real on your videos, love watching. An those colors are a must for Spring 😍

[@TheBeautyVault]

thank you so much for the love! 💖

[@ceciwolfcat7]

Hello!!! So great to see you, I hope to see more of you this year, and Loubun too of course!!!🥳🐇🥰

[@TheBeautyVault]

happy to have you here for another year of fun! 💖

[@icedoatcoffee]

Absolutely adore this set! The pink is so perfect and they look identical to the gelly tips. Been wanting to step away from polygel for a bit because of the work so I will def be grabbing these tools.

[@TheBeautyVault]

thank you for watching! 💖

[@tmcdgreen]

Great video - but, please note, don't use carbide on your natural nail/skin! Carbide bits are for artificial products, and diamond bits are for natural skin and nails! I realize most people don't know this (I'm a nail tech), so for folks reading the comments, please take note! The brand PANA does have good diamond bits for an affordable price. Great tip about the primer on top of your tips, that's probably why you were able to get such a professional finish and long wear without lifting at the cuticle.

[@control_alt_delete4894]

You have the best nail videos. Please try more things from amazon!!!

[@TiaBellaBeauty]

These nails are so pretty. Thank you for the detailed comparison and review.

[@TheBeautyVault]

thank you for watching!! 💖

[@lorilange598]

I missed your Christmas haul and Louie.

[@uniquelady1234]

I literally brought that lamp yesterday, can't wait for it to arrive

[@TheBeautyVault]

awesome! 🤩

[@Nightbird_Nails]

Great video. Love the bargain options. I’ve been using a dupe method for quite a while now and they always look as good, if not better, than the expensive brands. ❤️

[@elizabethp3296]

thank you for adding links for different countries

[@TheBeautyVault]

🥰

[@amandaaligned]

Should we use a base coat before the builder gel, or JUST the builder? Also, do you think i could use my gelish structure clear instead of the Aimeili Builder?

[@mubiyna5839]

Heyyy! Love you and your videos so much!! 💗 Also I've been on the struggle bus since the beginning of my nail journey so all of the products you mention I've got and I too agree that they work just as well as the name brands 😀

[@TheBeautyVault]

hi pretty lady, thank you so much for being here! 💖

[@sofilahavanese]

Beautiful! How long do you flash cure for, and what wattage?

[@BeyondPolish]

YAY! Glad you fixed the technical difficulties!!

[@TheBeautyVault]

💖💖💖

[@kimberlywright7959]

This video has really intrigued me. It looks so easy. But I’m sure, as all nail applications, takes some time. You made this loo so effortless. I love the process as I am getting into doing my nails at home. I hate when the nail techs dig into my already thin nails 🙄. Tfs 🤗🥰

[@slakraze6288]

Thank you. I trust your reviews, there are too many unknown options on Amazon. You're awesome! All the colors you picked are great too.

[@asrielgaming3097]

Fantastic video, I was amazed by how well those budget items worked.

[@simonebernhard1817]

Is that a wedding band I see under those gorgeous nails? I was kind of hoping for wedding planning/decor/fashion updates! At any rate, congratulations and thanks for another excellent video. HELLO!?!?!?👀

[@LilyoftheValeyrising]

That looks great! I love that you figured out dupes to save money!!! How do they come off? The removal process?

[@Markeda005]

I'm so loving this set! So pretty. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheBeautyVault]

thank you so much!! 💖

[@joannace7312]

Love your video as usual ❤️ I’m always clicking as fast as I can when I see your uploads 😂 PS: I don’t think you should use the sharp point bit on your natural nail, it’s a carbide bit (I have the same one too) and those are only meant to be used on product. Diamond bits are better for the natural nail and cuticle as they are more gentle. Of course it’s your choice if you want to still use it, but I thought I’d let you know what I know ☺️

[@catalinacrisostomo6214]

Same opinion on the carbide bit over natural nails. It's way too strong. Just get a high quality flame bit, it does the same job without the excessive harshness.

[@TheBeautyVault]

thank you! 💖 i was just using it to loosen up the stubborn dead skin but i'll keep that in mind.

[@laurag4917]

Hi! Can you recommend a desk lamp for manicures? I’m a long time fan! Appreciate your videos!! I looked through several videos to see if you mentioned one but couldn’t find one

[@megk2527]

I missed you! So happy you’re back 😊

[@TheBeautyVault]

[@michhmushh]

Omg those gel polish shades! Sickening! **Adds to cart before they sell out**

[@helenburdis1927]

Great video. You sure are resourceful and the research and time you put into this video particularly must have been phenomenal. Thank you so much. I have been watching various videos about polygel and acrylic nails and wanting to start purchasing my stuff on line for months now and I have been watching a lot of videos. There are a lot that just seem to like the sound of their own voices and I find my eyes glaze over. I like your attitude and no bullshit way you do your video. You know what beginners struggle with too. Fantastic stuff. 🇦🇺

[@ChaoticallyDani]

Love the video! Quick question: how do you remove the full cover plastic tips + builder? Do you file and soak like gelly tips?

[@MyCrimsonMischief]

You soak off the same way

[@leeevers8976]

GREAT video!! Appreciate you finding budget but quality items!! Thank you

[@locoforrococo]

Love the color combination! 💕💕 I love pink😍

thank you so much! 💖 you'll love the barbie pink

[@lleyah_fw]

@@TheBeautyVault I'm wearing it right now with neon pink polish under. It's like a hot funky jelly 80's dream but with hints to Valentine's Day in a way. I'll try to show you on Insta with a hashtag. I really don't want to take these off. You know the dope polishes to wear!

[@PerfumedAndPolished]

Super cute! I definitely have to give the Saviland tips a try.

Do these pop off easy while doing dishes and light house cleaning?

Happy new year! Omg those polish colors are gorgeous! My favorite is the one that shimmers mint green, but they are all so cool, changing colors when over your glove or with another coat. Your final mani is beautiful. Thanks as always for the tips and for sharing your knowledge with us!! 💅🏻❤️

[@peytonshue]

@The Beauty Vault Hi! What speed do you have your drill on fro filling around the cuticle area? I want to do my nails for graduation, but I don't want to damage my nail plate more than I already have😅

[@suzanneracki1617]

For the order you put dehydrator then primer on your nail then primer then builder on the inside of the nail then cure? Do you have to cure the primer on the inside of the nail or just brush it on?

[@catalinacrisostomo6214]

@thebeautyvault the top caps on the gel polish bottles come off and you can paint and cure the inside of them so you can tell them apart!!

[@catalinacrisostomo6214]

I'm in the part of the video where you did just this lol

[@TheBeautyVault]

😂😂😂 was waiting for the update!

[@Tetzzy]

OMG IM RUNNING SCREAMING TO AMAZON for those gel polishes ^o^ Thank you for this, you found some awesome stuff I need. Also, I LOVE your videos. The intro, the music, the info and instruction, your choices... so good

[@annapetty1839]

Loved the video! I just bought my own budget friendly products like these to do full coverage tips. This video came right on time and will be watching when I do my first set this week 😍 Would you ever back fill the full coverage tips or soak them off each time?
