Trigger warning for the wee bit of blood

[@djkb125]

Idk why curing the free edge on the form first made me 🤯. It seems so obvious now! That’s a really great tip!! That flooding underneath was so frustrating

[@me-pz5yi]

Literally 💯

[@novaexx6587]

I was about to say that the hack is genius then I backed up... how tf does it even work, if the gel has been cured on the TOP of the new gel that comes afterwards?? What??

[@djkb125]

@@novaexx6587 you’d have to do a thin layer or clear but it could work. If you’re working with a super dark/opaque color than you’d have more issues like you’re thinking. Honestly, even if you can build a super thin, weak free edge that would be good enough because you could always go on top with more to make it thicker and stronger. You’d rather have it thicker on top than below anyway

[@sotoalexandra24]

​@novaexx6587 I know exactly what you mean. The best way is to do a super thin layer along where the free edge would be, gently placing it on the nail and flash curing . Then curing all the way. THEN you apply gel to the dual form as usual so that the free edge part stays UNDER the new gel.

[@glossytaurus]

That thumb looks like it might be next.. you can see your sidewall bc there’s barely any product there. I don’t like thick sidewalls either but it looks barely covered or the builder gel was over-filed but I love how you fixed your nail building the free edge like that. Gonna try that 😊

[@emaly5063]

i was coming here to say this. it also looks like a crack is forminng, mine always crack there too first.

[@yoshisupremacy]

Definitely see it too!

[@veroniquemthembu2283]

I came here to say the same thing

[@popcornpretzel6720]

It’s not builder gel. It’s her natural nails. She says so on her tiktok

[@Alayne985]

In the text she shows she says it's her natural nail, not builder gel

[@romakasmr]

Finally!! Thank you for showing me an actual trick to help with the underside!

[@DIYQUEENbyRienna]

I love that you add the drill bit your using to the corner of your videos

[@msglamour1498]

Take care of the thumb too. It looks like it has a crack on the side. Beautiful nails ❤

[@emiilyshe]

oh good eye!!

[@nailmartusa]

That’s just a crack growing out that I fixed weeks ago😊

[@Dirty_Squirrell]

Aaaah! That artificial free edge trick is the BEST trick!

[@soph497]

That was very informative my phones definitely seeing my flooded nails in the camera angles…. I feel called out I love it

[@nailmartusa]

Haha glad it resonated 😂

[@KimberlyRobinson-c1y]

You can use paper forms while you're applying dual forms to prevent contact with your skin but you still need a little bit of free edge

[@justsaying8358]

This just happened to my natural nail, the pain I felt (in my soul) 😭😭😭.

[@Amari1444]

SAMEEEE

[@kjbense6872]

You are the best - I swear - thank you for this gem 💎

[@triggeredlatina]

Why do people feel the need to try point out what you did wrong as if that has to be the reason. As if you ARENT a professional. The reason is because things happen! Her dominant hand and that means a lot of pressure was applied and sometimes the nails can’t handle it. Everything has a breaking point no matter how well nails are done. I know you’re a pro. It’s logical to think something out of your control happened then. I will say at least she DMd you instead of causing discourse in the comment section.

[@AntisociaIsocial]

Yes but at the same time you can minimise the possibility of it happening by correcting mistakes, therefore it's useful that people do point them out. She might be a professional but many of her viewers aren't and so those comments might be very informative even if you think they're upsetting on unnecessary. I, myself, find those 'hate comments' very educational.

[@AshleighBaggins]

@@AntisociaIsocial I personally don’t even view it as hate. It’s just overconfidence.

[@ahernandez0047]

Your nails are gorgeous 😊

[@ansleyglenn2642]

Hello! Would it be possible to get a video on how to do a rubber base fill to accommodate new growth? I don’t want to have to soak off the rubber base each time if possible. Thanks !!

[@ToastedCocoBun]

You can just file down the rubber base on your nail so it’s thinner, prep your growth and reapply the rubber base on your entire nail again, rebalancing the apex to account for length. There’s a bunch of videos from other nail techs that’ll show you

[@ShaynaButler]

Genius trick!

[@_crowlady_]

FINALLY got the only clean bit and I can’t wait to try it out! If it works it’ll be a safe way to get more stable and accurate with my drill without actually risking my nails and destroying them like I have in the past

[@RoeBoats]

i just lost my pointer too 😭 rip, thoughts and prayers for your fallen soldier 😂❤

[@shelly7592]

Woa that tip was new. Tnx for sharing

[@anastan5445]

The way my insides shrank imagining the hellish sting you must have felt. Nails breaking like that is just.... At the same level as getting a paper cut or stubbing one's toe. Such small wound ... Such terrible pain.

[@AshleighBaggins]

OUCHHHHHH. I almost cried. How does it feel now?

[@cherryblossm514]

I HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION, HOW CAN I GROW MY NATURAL NAILS LONG AND MAKE EM HARD PLZ IM DESPERATE

[@marielanders4806]

Oh my! I'm sorry that happened. Thank you for showing us how to fix it.

[@Angyy278]

can someone explain what she did to make a freeedge and why that helps against flooding? because my brain cant comprehend for some reason. i thought she made a free edge and put it on her nail and then did it like you usually do but that's not what the video shows... i think? can someone explain please. I appreciate

[@DIYQUEENbyRienna]

Do you reuse your dual forms? If so how many times can you reuse them? 😅

[@EaglesFanMeg83]

Omg that free edge tip needs to go viral 🤩 I can’t tell you how many times I flash cure upside down and hope it stays soft enough to move - or else I’m drilling under the nail forever!

[@filipasousa7350]

If that was a stress break, that is not wrong in itself. If you have an overlay over that free edge without adding more height to your apex you are making the free edge a lot hardier. But if you knock that off something it doesn't have the flexibility to bend so it will break away from whatever is attached.

[@JasperStoneRevFourThree]

I love your voice. You should send a sample to Eleven Labs. ❤

[@JasperStoneRevFourThree]

Well, I think they receive sample 😂

[@nataliestephenson215]

I finally got to start growing out my nails for the holidays and I was making good progress without any product… then I woke up and half my dominant pointer nail was just gone 😂

[@Tayxox]

Your nails look super cute shorter! Lovely long too but also cute short! My fingers look like lil sausages when I have short nails 😂😂

[@NicolesBeautyScene]

Fanatic tip!!!

[@candisham1978]

I really don’t understand why anyone uses dual forms for application. They’re really easy to make mistakes with, flood the cuticle area, cause allergies etc. So much easier to spend time learning to apply gel directly to the nail.

[@Ash-if7xf]

Yesterday in school my long natural nail broke off almost fully at the pink part on my left thumb and a little bit broke on my right index finger!

[@staceyrumfelt]

My left hand does the same 😕

[@meowscutie]

I gave myself stiletto nails, they looked like kitty claws lol, anyways every single time one snapped off i didn't feel it all. I'd just suddenly have no nail 🙃 they didn't even make noise. It was so bizarre but very cool

[@barbmck28]

Did you rip it so low that you were bleeding? Ouch!

[@AshleighBaggins]

No, it just broke that low.

[@faceshredder2576]

I mean the person isn’t totally wrong though. Even though you do not use duel forms or fake nails you still need to build an apex with your rubber base to create a foundation so this doesn’t happen again.

[@lajoyapamela906]

You are welcome dear

[@amalsalah7930]

فوقته بطريقة ترعب

[@user-gy5dr1do2r]

Does anyone else need a tutorial like me? 😅

[@paranoidbarbie]

oh no, you bleed too, that gotta hurt for a while 😭🥺

[@sofiabasilasjvili8018]

Wauw ❤

[@leoniei552]

So smart though

[@tonyabeck3461]

Ouch

[@Trruble]

Oh no!!!

[@lemoncake7021]

Nooo 🫣 what a tragedy!

[@themommaderp4266]

You're about to lose the thumb, too.

[@MarieBSleepin]

The end result is crooked.

[@sarahellen5846]

Work on your apex, love.

[@Marii-nf4cc]

Youre wearing long nails.. are u shocked?

[@KateandBree]

Poor index nail.

[@KaraDanae88]

Yep, you’re using dual forms incorrectly 😂

[@toothcruncher]

she's a professional, i think she knows what she's doing. she also literally admits that her application sucked and that this is a trick and not smth most ppl have to do but go off i guess also, her first nail was her natural nail. but again, go off.
