This is awesome Suzie. I’ve actually done this on my channel years ago. It’s a great way to get any shape you want. Dual forms didn’t use to have all the shapes and now many do. So back when dual forms only came in stilettos and square is when I first tried this.

I definitely like the shape of these much better than what typically comes out of a dual form. much more elegant and modern. the dual forms I've seen on your channel and a few others tend to be the non-pinched, wide square type nail. if you want a more "in" shape, you have to file them so much to get there.

I was hoping my press on nails would work as a form and I did try that on my own and it worked so much better for me, but I didn't know if it wad "OK" to do that. Thanks for the validation!😊

Just found your videos a few weeks ago. Haven't had my nails done since the 80's. Decided to try again. Had a full set of acrylics. They are so wide and thick. Looks like the 80's all over again. Hate my wide nails. Love your videos.

Try a tapered Nail once it hits the free edge and build the Apex a little higher that helps to slender away now. Also be very aware of the sidewalls tapering them in ward

Quick question! If you were wanting to keep the full coverage tips on, is the best thing to adhere it to the nail the hybrid gel? You just showed how it can pop off of the hybrid gel. Would a hard gel also allow the full coverage tip to pop off?

[@elizabethstanley6701]

A hard gel is a GREAT product to use to keep the nail tip on for the duration if the set! Be sure to prep your nails as you normally would.for gel application and scuff up the part of the nail form that will go over your nail bed. :)

[@dayrienruckaber2596]

I use a builder gel to do basically gel x nails which is what ur describing. So much easier to do on ur self cus little to no filing involved. My tips for this method is to file the nail tip tower that touches ur nail and the top when u apply polish. It will last longer and adhere better.

This method made my day! It's the quickest technique I've ever seen 😍 thank you so much

[@draggonsgate]

Suzie! Well it took a two years, but I finally did it. I'm a bad nail biter... BAD! I went to my sister's nail tech and told her what you did for Grant, showed her the videos and asked if she could do the same. She did, kind of... She used nail tips, which she glued onto my nubs, and then used clear powder for the nail itself. I think it was 4 or 5 layers. I was adamant that I wanted them to look like my nails, not fake. At first I wasn't sure. She said to trust her... She was working on them and they were really white, not looking real at all. But when she hit them with the activator(?) they just popped! I was more than pleased, and, I like them more than Grant's! They look like my natural nails! Only issue was at first she used a gloss topcoat, which made them way to shiny, so then we switched to a matte one, which really made them awesome. And yup, tried to bite one already, and my teeth have more of a chance of coming loose than me biting one of these off. Thank you so much for the videos of you working on Grant to give me the idea to do this. All the best to you AND him!

[@nikitatavernitilitvynova]

Might have to try this as one of my nails came off. But I ran out of nail forms and I want to fix my nails by tomorrow as I'll be eating out and my nails look terrifying. I'm wondering if this will work with my hard gel. It's much softer than what you used but totally fine for sculpting nails, my other nails agree. I'm also wondering if undercuring it might help it release better. Like cure it for 30 secs then pop the nail, then cure for an additional 30 secs? I might have to try it.

[@vexhawthore2735]

I just tried it after struggling with my nails popping off and this method worked thank youuuu

[@RR-jm4cc]

Amazing! So should we add more product near the top where the apex should be? When I did mine, the nail became completely straight and was painful when pressure was applied to the bottom half!

[@NailCareerEducation]

If you’re a tip that you’re applying became perfectly straight, then you were pressing down way too hard and you were changing the shape of the tip. Assuming that your tip does not have an arch built in already. And if it doesn’t, I would not purchase those tips.

How do you work with tips or dual forms that have a stronger c curve than the natural nail? My nails aren't particularly flat -- I would even say they're more curved than average -- yet my dual forms are still too tightly curved. I try to put more hybrid gel in the center vs near the sides, but it's very hard to get it right!

[@dianaanca7079]

I'm a complete newbie to fake nails. Have had them done professionally for a while long ago but after I found you I decided to venture into doing my own nails. Doing my nails is soothing, entertaining, relaxing, a way to express myself, etc, however I have very short (years of nail biting), flat and wide nails. As you can imagine...they're not the best canvas for nail art. So you inspired me and gave me the confidence to go ahead and do my own set of custom acrylic nails to fit my unfortunate profile. Downside is that with all the practice I get, I still end up spending over 5 hours when doing one hand (talk about nit picky) and I find that most of that is in filling. Not because I put a lot of product but because I want the perfect shape and I never get the form right enough so I need to adjust in "post production". I tried the forms so I can skip all that but ofc, my nails are such a nightmare they don't work that easily. I either put too much product and it spills all over my cuticles or too little and it cracks up and leave a million crevasses underneath the form. I found that more is safer than less but then again, using acrylic I need to hold it in place or else it moves and leaves air beneath it, which means no time for cleanup between application and when it cures. Once cures, cleanup at the cuticle is painful and close to impossible. Another issue I have is that I love using nail polish (holo taco to be specific - turns out I love supporting Canadian youtubers

[@NailCareerEducation]

Hi sweetie. Firstly when removing HoloTaco nail polish use a NON ACETONE polish remover. If it has acetone in it it can damage the Gelly/plastic tip. I have not tried this technique with acrylic but I suspect it would work. Check my YT I troubleshoot these products quite often. I do some art videos too - keep watching my YT for future designs 💛

Hi Suzie could you use this method with acrylic by letting it harden, then applying to nail with another small amount of acrylic like a full cover gel tip?
