[@julielyons9180]

I have been addicted to purple nails lately. All different shades of purple. I think Beetles makes some really good gel polishes, and for the price you can't go wrong. They are very pigmented, and they glide on so nice. These nails turned out really nice.

[@zodai6806]

I’ve been using this kit for a couple months and the better I get the longer they last! We’re going strong with 3 weeks 2 days in my recent set. Beetles is incredible

[@nsw_27]

What glue do you use? The one that comes with the kit?

[@zodai6806]

@@nsw_27yes the one in the kit

[@Michybon]

I have been using the the Beetles kit for a while now and love it. It makes doing my nails a lot easier.

[@jamiemonroy1335]

How do you take them off? The company is so vague about how what solution they use to take off the press ons

[@nailswithmandy]

Perfect timing! I just got this same kit today! Love your videos💖

[@JackilynChristine]

I’m a mom who never gets my nails done and rarely even paints them but I have 5 daughters and they’re getting older and wanting to get theirs done. It’s not always in the budget so I’m determined to watch enough videos and practice until I can do them myself when a salon isn’t possible.

[@Mae1111-abc]

Your a great mom!

[@MzNecessary]

@@Mae1111-abcabsolutely!

[@RaydeePineda]

This are plastic not Gel but if you buy the tips by itself they will be gel

[@Esmeraldasan123]

They bend and brake 😢

[@perlacruz1215]

My keep popping off!

[@arwenpetersen0416]

Literally same!

[@brittneycobosbarrera3784]

I have this and love it. Unfortunately I can't use the glue that comes with the kit because it has hema in the glue and causes such a horrible reaction to my fingers.

[@Vegan_Vlogs]

Use other gel that you can tolerate x

[@sueperry9327]

I just received this kit (it was on my wishlist) for Christmas from my son. What a great kit!! I got the medium almond which is my favorite and like you I really love the lamp!

[@dianalaboy4520]

Aww ❤❤❤

[@bellasguitar13]

I’ve been using beetles for years!! Fav nail brand. I love how people are surprised how affordable and great it is, I’ve been telling people this for AGES!

[@cavianguardian]

Beetles brand is my favorite to buy from. Good quality of gel polish and dip powders to choose from.

[@brendabeston65]

I love that you introduce us to new and different companies. I am Canadian and don’t always know what the states or other companies that are out there. Thanks ❤

[@dianalaboy4520]

Me too I love them I wish I can show a pic they fell strong ! In the beginning they came off but what hand ! But learned I was not cleaning my nails right and placing them right and now I don’t need the salon ! Now my feet? Hmm 🤔

[@sandrarhule5354]

The best dupe for gel x! Love the purple nails!

[@MsCarlyn1974]

Thank you, now I know what I did wrong! Will try this one next time xoxo I was using the wrong base on my nail part, and then tried it without then it would start coming off etc. Can you or do you have a prep video?

[@cathywellman4859]

65 or so 💜💜💜 Love this set and the kit you got. Plus all the colors💜

[@NailedByBrandi]

Thank you 🤗

[@BeautyGuruSkittles]

Love how this set turned out! I lost count at 38 hearts. Also when you apply the nail tips and do the 5 second and take it does it create air bubbles or no? I wanna try to do it that way

[@Janna_Ash]

I’m new to doing my nails and I got this kit a couple months ago. I put them on with Vettsy solid glue and they held up well.

[@fortmacmom3122]

I started using full coverage tips with the Beetles nail glue, but I think it needs to be a bit thicker. I find it a bit difficult to use because it’s so runny.

[@fancyky71]

Super cute, these maybe my favorite Valentines inspired nails 💅 so far ❤️

[@ThunderKatKlawz]

I’m in love with these multiple uploads ! I just bought this kit lol ❤

[@julializardo9363]

Do you rub anything on the nails after curing the top coat to prevent it from feeling sticky?

[@Lovelyliz94]

This purple/lavender nail set is super cute and purple is a beautiful color 💜 now I want this color on my nails 😭😭 but I don't have this colors 😢

[@torreskat85]

Where did you get that powder? I’ve been looking for one!

[@briaeickholt2343]

Yay!! Love watching your videos! ❤️

[@lasmejoresamigas9710]

36 💜 btw love ur videos u really helped a lot ❤️❤️💖💖

[@MicheleCheeseman]

HEMA in the glue and polish, use caution when using, Such a Cute set!! 💜Love Beetles polish!

[@amandacoyne1663]

So cute of a set love the colour combo. The shape and length of the tips really suits your hand.

[@kistarials8649]

Do you cure before adding the acrylic powder or after?

[@emmarose4506]

This was such a helpful video. I was scared to order this kit but it’s currently in my Amazon cart. I’m now excited too! These turned out sooooo pretty !! Can’t wait to try a mocha set.

[@Nailbeautyguru]

I absolutely love purple. My favorite are the nails with the dark sparkle hearts. So pretty 😍. Definitely want the link for the gloves.

[@savannahbateman2871]

I'm having Brandi withdrawals. Hoping a new video drops tonight 😍❤️

Such a pretty valentine set Brandi💜💜💜

[@tracyhunley2042]

Love all your videos❤❤❤ my favorite color!!! Gorgeous

[@laurajoseph6802]

Hey! this is a pretty set! My favorite color. 💜I have this kit & I like it a lot.

[@bluebayeux]

Can you prep & paint them before you apply? Or is there a downside to that? Just bought the kit but I haven't had my first go yet. Great video & beautiful colors & design! Your vid was not only informative but I love the close-up camera angles. Super easy to follow, thank you 😊

[@elizabethslattery680]

No, I don't think that would work. The glue gel in this kit that adheres the nail extension to your nail is cured by the light. That is why the extension is clear. I don't think it would cure well if it was painted before being put on, because the light can't get through the paint. If you wanted to paint your tips before attaching them, you could probably do that, but would need to use something like press on tabs, or regular nail glue that isn't cured by light. I hope that makes sense. Best of luck!

[@QueeNene6]

Great job mama. Yes, I love Beetles products. Thank you!

[@LiliLou]

63 hearts I believe 🤪😂💜

[@tishaflowers]

Yes 63 is what I counted also

[@NailedByBrandi]

😱😱😱

[@shakirasmylie6178]

Wow I love the nail set it's so cute 🥰 and she's very talented nail artist here 🥰

[@TotallyKayla]

Love this set! Also you did 11 hearts on the middle nail and the pinky nail so 22 hearts just between those lol and I THINK I counted 14 hearts on the thumb 😅🤣 haven't seen you do the other 2 nails yet. So fair we're at 36 hearts 💕🤣

[@TotallyKayla]

Actually did you add some more hearts on the middle finger off camera? Lol 🤣 I can't stop laughing at myself

[@TotallyKayla]

Okay so I'm pretty sure you made between 65 and 70 hearts between all the nails! Was kinda hard to count exact on the pointer and ring finger lol but I'm confident you made AT LEAST 65 hearts 💕 That's commitment girl!

[@LisaBale62]

It looked real good with out the dots too

[@BooCreamy]

Hello beautiful! Love this lilac color, soooo pretty! Purple is my favorite color! And tomorrow (Feb 11th) is my birthday!!!! 🫶🖤💜

[@BooCreamy]

And between your middle finger and pinky, I counted 22 hearts! I'm guessing there's a total of about 60 hearts 💕

[@NailedByBrandi]

Happy birthday!! 🎉

@@NailedByBrandi thanks love! I got a bunch of nail stuff and a new nail drill!!!! I'm so excited!

Very helpful!! I have limited time and needed a quick straight fwd tutorial. I was able to easily find it by my beetles gel x search. THANK YOU!! Now let me go try my hands at this lol

[@evilass90]

34 purple hearts

[@emmamurillo5056]

Can I use regular nail polish for these? I don’t have gel polish 🥲

[@NailedByBrandi]

You can apply them using the gel in the kit and apply regular nail polish on top!!

[@Faiththefave]

63 hearts

[@IdkIDK-b4n]

I really like beetles, but I have also found GAOY, which is the like iconic Korean jelly nails

[@marizmaniology]

So cute! V-Day Nails Ready!💅

[@patriceselin2797]

I bought makarrt full cover tips and its not as easy as u make it look😆🙈. I got 2 wonky nails and some bubbles. But I still like it. U are good and i love your videos. Pretty nails😊

[@marilynlvsnails]

Hey 👋 Brandi!! My fav color is purple 💜... (45) total?...TFS this kit.

[@AaronHomberg]

Do I need the glue to put them on my nails or can I also just use the gel?

[@Vegan_Vlogs]

They call it glue but it's actually gel.

[@mattymatta445]

Hello I know this video is older but I just got one of there kits and I was curious how long these lasted everyone.

[@Shanelie]

Why can’t you just paint the nail glue on your nails and put the extension/tip on? Is there a reason? Thanks!

[@tishaflowers]

63 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 purple is my favorite color so thanks for the video 😍

[@deadgirl5805]

I really love this length and shape so much better than the 3XL 🤩 I realize the longer ones give you more space for nail art, but these are more natural looking and flattering for your hands 🤗 I wonder if your new airbrushing machine would be helpful for a galaxy set?🤔

[@charondaclayton6365]

I ordered me some beetles gel polish off Amazon and I love them they are so pretty

[@itssamanthavasquez3]

my lot comes tomorrow & i’m soooooo excited to try!! either going to do light purple like this, or white sparkly! something simple!
