TRYING GEL X NAILS FOR THE FIRST TIME…i am OBSESSED

[@kayliboyle]

thank you so much for watching!! what would you guys like me to try next?🤎

[@mckennademaray]

you could do a video explaining your experience with each type of nail and rating them :) love your channel btw

[@bread1113]

Have you tried model ones if not you should try them

[@emmaalacangray]

Could you try KISS dip nail set from the drugstore ?

[@Catherine_Grace]

@Emma Alacan Yeeeeesssssss!!!

[@miranda5815]

Im thinking of trying it now. Could you link where you got your nails supplies?

[@ghostin6996]

A tiny tip regarding the cuticle treatment/oils: put them on the skin under your nail as well, the skin there tends to be dry as well and using oil will make your nails even stronger!

[@kayliboyle]

Thank you!!

[@MimiBlackbird]

And also loosen your application so maybe don’t drown it down there in oil

[@Anonymous-yk3ig]

Yes I’ve been doing that and my nails are so long and strong and I’m not biting them anymore bc of how pretty they are!

[@ElectricAngel181]

I've tried using oil in the past and it actually made my nails lift 🤔. My mom used oil before and her nails ended up lifting. Any tips? Ty

[@aariesmooon]

the fact that you linked every single thing you used is a dream come true thank you for not gate keeping

[@apriltait1851]

After u squish out the air bubbles put in the light for 10 seconds, take out and get a brush, turn hand over and brush out the excess gel down the length of the tip underneath. That will help with the build up of extender gel under the nail tip. Hope that helps! Good luck your doing great so far 👍🏼💅🏻😘

[@damlah.7452]

But isn‘t that gel also already cured bc of the light ? So do u think that it‘ll still be spreadable ?

[@kyliehoward7389]

@@damlah.7452 it doesn't cure it completely. It just prevents the nail tip from lifting up from your natural nail.

[@mardesangles]

Wow thank you

[@DANiELLEfineArt]

I tried it, and I wishI had tried it sooner. There is a small learning curve, but they were so easy that my right hand looked better than my left, despite not being a lefty. The upfront cost was more than going to a salon, but by the 4th time I use my supplies, I will have broken even and I definitely plan on doing them myself from now on! And it was nice to put whatever design I wanted on my nails without having to worry about any added charges. That will save me so much money going forward.

[@marshaberteau8631]

Just by watching nail videos, I've learned that when the gel starts to burn you can take it out of the lamp and just tap your finger till it cools down and stops burning. I hope this helps you to make sure the process is smoother and won't hurt.

[@stephaniedom7853]

I have both Gel X and Kyra Sky soft gels nail and love them !! Definitely prefer the KS lap, so much easier to use . I found that by applying a thin layer of the gel on my nail curing and then applying a thin layer on the nail makes it less messy and you don't have a lot of gel pouring out from the tip of your natural nail. It also lasted about 3 weeks for me with proper nail prep !

When you cure your natural nail should it be 100% dry/cured after?

[@KumoriASMR]

This is how I do my nails but I also put dip powder on top of the extensions and then do gel polish art to add a little more strength, I also really like the clicky clackiness of dip acrylic too more than just the gel.

[@veei4762]

Its the clicky clackiness for.me 😭🤣🤣🤣💯

[@Julie-jl2kk]

i recently got into nails, like more seriously with fake extensions. and i started with the clear plastic ones like this first, and as long as u have a base coat with enough viscosity and a uv light u can use without hands, it works like a charm. im so pleased with it too!

[@taylorrose7834]

I love that I found your first gel x video bc I’m doing gel x for the first tune tmrw 🫶🏽✨🤞🏽

[@sabeanie5002]

Also! The extend gel is so soft I find it stays sticky and the underside of my nails end up getting gross as I wear them, so I put a super thin layer of top coat on the underside of the nails to prevent that!

[@KatieKicks]

You could try using a swipe of isopropyl alcohol after curing it to remove the tacky layer and save yourself some time w/o the top coat!

[@zuhayla7278]

About a week?

[@jesimish]

@@kimberley.valenzuela if you are rough with your nails, I would say about a week. This is a bit hard to explain but I recommend applying a jelly nude base coat and decorating just the tips of your nails. If your nail falls off, you can just apply more gel nail glue and reattach it with your light.

[@ndawi-9947]

You should try the gooseneck UV clamp light on Amaxon it's actually a better way of applying your nails than the Kiara sky mini lamp. The process is a lot easier with the gooseneck lamp. It's about 16 to $18.

[@sienamoudatsos5091]

There are special clear clips you can buy to use right after you put the gel so you don’t have to hold it on your finger as you put it under the light. They are called clear poly gel nail clips.

[@EightBitBella]

Gotta say, I really respect the shit out of you for filming your first time using gel-x nails. I recently started watching your nails videos because I've been wanting to learn how to do my own nails. Started from the most recent and just very recently learned that you didnt always use gel-x and you've been on a bit of a nail journey. I super appreciate you posting this video because ive been watching you just kill it with the gel-x nails and seeing you doing them for the first time has really made me feel so so SO much better for what i realistically should expect for my first time doing gel-x. TL;DR - thanks for posting your first time, it helps newbies like me know what to do and not to do and honestly gives me hope that I can get to the same level as you with my own nails. thank you!!!

[@adilenediaz9295]

Loved the design!!! Anyway just wanted to share a few tips with you…these small lamps are for flash curing not for fully curing gel/ gel color & not fully curing your gel can lead to a hema allergy. Also touching the gel or taking off the “soaked off nail” with your bare hands.

[@Priscalovee]

So would u recommend initially curing the gel to set the nail in place on the finger to make it easier to hold in place and then using a bigger lamp to fully cure the nail?

[@HeyItsFeyi]

The Beetles kit is so great! I got it earlier this yeah and have been OBSESSED!

Its to make sure they are fully cured as those little lamps are not great theyre only flash curing when using a small lamp like that which is only 5 watts

[@Olivina330]

You can also tilt your light to the side so it’s easier for you to out your fingers under. The way it is now, facing you, you have to maneuver your nails inside instead of naturally around. Just started doing gel x myself thanks to your videos, except with the Gelish tips and ASP bonder and builder and it’s such a great system

I mean it goes on.. I had been waiting to treat myself and so glad I did. I can spend hours doing them now.

[@michellelaksana7224]

yassss girl! i've been lovin your nail vids! i actually have been doing my own for a while now too and i LOL'd when you said you used to use elmer's glue instead of the latex stuff because i used to do the same damn thing! I've tried the modelone's extension nail kit and it comes with the same little light and stuff ALL FOR like $20 on Amazon, and it wasn't bad! I think the only thing I wish was that the extend gel it came with were thicker, so if anyone wants to try them, it's a good beginner kit for cheap, but maybe just buy a different extend gel:D

[@selenasmith7943]

Tip: Do your right hand(dominant) first throughout; application, shape and design. You'll have better control breeze right through and can just match your left

[@gloomeh9048]

Poly gel is on the side of soft gels so depending on what you need you may like hard gels better. poly gel can work well for nail fixes if you lay that down and then secure it with something over top it!

[@naomi-ft9rq]

I currently do hard gel over my natural nail to reinforce them and grow them long but I'm thinking of cutting them all off and switching to this method, which I've tried on a nail here and there before. sculpting a perfect shape with gel is too hard and by the time I'm done, I'm too annoyed to do nail art 😭 with the apres method it'd just be a perfect surface straight away. I'm worried about how hard it would be to remove the soft gel extensions tho. I know there's the peel off base coats but then im worried theyd pop off too easily with the peel off. Please updateeee

[@TeeHeeImNiNi]

The best way to remove apres and other gel extensions is to file them super thin and then soak them off. The soak off process can take forever! All the gel x "influencers" claim they can remove them in 15 mins but i personally take longer, probably because im not a professional. I still endure the process because i prefer it so much more than acrylic.

[@Mini-rt8bm]

@@TeeHeeImNiNi after 3 weeks of having them I can pop them right off with some oil

Omgg I just cut off all my natural nails to go get them done because 2 were broken and my bday was coming up & now I wanna do this. If you ever end up doing it update us pls

[@n0thum4n]

I just pop them off while soaking them in warm water and if you don’t want them to stay on very long don’t do any prep to your nails and they will only last like a week or so before they really start to lift and then you can just pop them right off And if you are really worried just use a bunch of moisture on your hands leading up to the days you want to remove them because too much moisture will cause them to lift

[@unebilonda3658]

The stickiness is from the oils/grease/residue You can wipe it off with a rubbing alcohol or a Nail Prep & Polish wipe solution (I use Mylee)

[@angelinauriostegui4244]

You can also use acid primer to etch the inside of the nail extension. That way you don’t need to file the inside. Beautiful set💕💅

[@ericalynn4296]

I started doing gel tips for school cause it’s more convenient than poly gel or dip

[@nyasiagill5293]

im a gel x enthusiast & im here to give a tip! you shouldn’t put get polish on top of a smooth, shiny tip. the polish is super prone to peeling off because smooth (polish) doesn’t have anything to adhere to. so what you can do is use your dehydrator & scrub it into the surface of the nail to create a tacky layer. this helps for gel polish adherence. acetone does the same thing as well. i always buff the shine & then scrub dehydrator into the surface, but if for whatever reason someone doesn’t have a buffer, scrubbing the dehydrator or rubbing acetone into the nail surface will do you justice. loved the video & the nails are super cute!
