What's Good Vettsy? // Solid Gel Polish and Nail Glue Review // Are these Beginner Friendly?

[@innurse94]

THAT LOOKS AMAZING! I too have been using gels at home for years and yes they went on so easily compared to regular gel polish. Just WOWWWW! Stunning !

[@Lorenamaysing]

It's easier to scoop up the solid nail glue with the nail tip and kinda scrape it up with side of the pot to get what you need. And you don't need much. I LOVE vettsy. I have soooo much of their stuff and their customer service is awesome.

[@dinathomison3159]

I put the solid gel on the cuticle area and press down cuticle first the down to top until gel goes down to tip. Don't press too hard, any excess remove with alcohol brush.

[@levt2156]

Hi. Based on what I've seen in other videos, it looks like the solid gel glue is easier to apply if you don't form it into a ball. Rather, place a glob onto the tip, toward the cuticle margin, place the tip midway down the nail, and press/slide toward your cuticle. Don't fuss with trying to get all spillage removed before flash curing. Instead, wait till after flash cure. For underside excess, I use an e-file to smooth it after fully curing. I think the big benefit to this gel is that it's not a glue, so it treats you nails better.

Thank you for making tutorials, I'm trying to self teach myself how to my nails and I have Vettsy products and More! I also shop on Amazon a lot as well. You have been of Great help to me and I wanted to say Thank You Very Much💅🏻😊

[@Vettsystore]

Thank you so much for the cute set with our products. 😘😘

[@carriegnails]

Thank you for the opportunity to try them 🥰

[@jocelynrodriguez4749]

Those dark color polishes are just stunning! Starting with the red, I was hooked in! I do want to try the solid glue, but I recently got the Dashing Diva glue gel (that's not really a gel) and I have applied my tips once and my daughter's once with it. My tips have been on 2 weeks with no lifting so far with it.

[@carriegnails]

Really! How interesting. I'll look into it. I want to give this solid glue another go, but I'm pretty comfortable with what I've been using so I'm definitely more the "don't fix what ain't broke" girl. But the gels....yeah they got me BAD with those. I GOTTA try more colors.

[@rosefiler9758]

I love your honest impressions and reviews! I have tried and fallen in love with some brands you’ve suggested! I appreciate that you use a lot of smaller brands since I am trying to support smaller companies. Beautiful mani as always!!

[@carriegnails]

Thank you Rose! And I totally feel the same way. Gel polishes are harder to find at small businesses so I definitely buy those from larger companies. But dip powder I'm pretty much exclusive to small business (except Azure Beauty, which I gotta hand it to em, they did that kit well!) But yes overall I love shopping small. 🥰

I'm new to your KZbin channel and I just subscribed. Your videos are wonderful and I appreciate your honesty about your experiences. Your nail skills are amazing! Thank you for what you do to help the rest of us DYI'ers. I'm a fan!

[@carriegnails]

Ahhh thank you so much Colleen! Your kind words mean so much! I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to tell me that. So glad you're here! 🥰

[@cheftreana]

I really appreciate you honest review... I tried that vettsy glue a few times and I love the application, but the spillage is a pain... Over the free weeks I got sick of the gummy spillage under my nails and it collected a lot of dirt. Then when I try less... I found my nails would lift

[@carriegnails]

Thank you! 🥰 Yeah I can totally see that! I really wanted to love it. It seems like such a good idea in theory but just not as easy during application as I’d hoped. Thanks for sharing your feedback, at least I’m glad I’m not alone in my experiences. ❤️

[@cheftreana]

@@carriegnails yes, I wanted to love it too... But it's back to dip powder base for me! Keep the videos coming

[@Lorenamaysing]

You should try their mystery boxes!! I they are so fun and you get so much stuff. Also buying bundles is where it's at.

[@carriegnails]

I recently grabbed some more gels in a bundle. I did see their mystery boxes which definitely looks fun! 🥰

[@simplysouthernnails]

I like to use the ENC solid glue. It is thick like that but not the least bit sticky.

[@carriegnails]

Sounds like it’s worth looking into! Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@S.Nicole]

Beautiful!!! I ordered from cascade and I can’t wait to try dip nails for the first time!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@carriegnails]

Oh that is awesome! I'm so excited for you! Cascade is a great brand to start with. You'll love the shine on that dip top coat. Good luck and definitely let me know if I can help 🥰

[@aibhilinfox5665]

I prefer the ENC bubble gum gel and the Makartt gel glue - it’s less sticky in my experience also the colder the produce is the more solid it is.

[@carriegnails]

Interesting. I haven't heard of either of those. I'll have to look into them. Thank you for sharing that! 🥰

[@operachef1]

Agreed. The Makartt is my go to for doing full cover tip application on myself, although I have about 4 different brands and they are all pretty much the same. You can tell by viscosity and smell- the same. I think that companies "invent" products and others copy the formulas and/or buy them from the same (often Asian) companies and package them as their own. I've seen that numerous times over 25 years of doing nails.

[@vondagardiner1992]

Love the solid nail glue. Learning curve for the right amount to use. I clean any excess off with my metal cuticle tool with the sharp curved metal end or a wooden cuticle stick BEFORE curing. After curing it is difficult to remove. My tips last and last. I have no dishwasher so constwntly in water daily. Inlove the pudding polishes as well. The only down side is the length of time to receive products. The $$ is reasonable conpared to other products.

[@carriegnails]

Thanks for sharing your experiences! I did try to clean it off with the scraper end of my cuticle tool before curing but the product was so sticky it was hard to get it off even while uncured. To each their own, I’m glad it works for you! Totally agree about the shipping time. Weeks until you get the product! ☺️

[@ScrappinJen31]

Love the abstract mani!! The solid glue is much easier if you flatten the bubble over the natural nail then lay the tip over it. My one wish is that it was a little thinner, so it didn’t feel so thick.

[@carriegnails]

Thank you Jen! And thanks for sharing that tip. 🥰 I kind of just went by what I saw on the instruction booklet and on the videos I saw on social media, but I can definitely see where flatting that bubble would make it easier. I think you're right, it could be a little thinner!

[@carolyndurant8413]

I just tried another solid glue tonight with my gel tips I did the same had ooze cleaned it and tried again.there is a learning curve

[@carriegnails]

I definitely agree Carolyn! I think it'll get easier with practice but yes, a definite learning curve. 🥰

[@denimeier8675]

Glazy and new wave 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@carriegnails]

Right!? Such pretty polishes 🤩

[@ErikaTheChaosManagerx4]

I absolutely love this mani. I have been curious about solid nail glues bc the struggle to get the tips straight with my crooked fingers is rough lol 😂 I make it happen and they're not always straight, but I'm working on it. Thank you always for your honesty!

[@carriegnails]

Thank you Erika! You definitely might like this glue for that. Perhaps once I get a little more practice with it I can give more of a better picture of the best ways to apply it. If it helps, your nails always look beautiful and straight to me! 🥰

[@ErikaTheChaosManagerx4]

[@prdaigre4739]

Hi, I am a nail newbie. Did you wipe the base coat with alcohol before applying the gel polish? I want to order from vettsy. Please answer . Thank you.

That glue looks like a nightmare for me but that gel polish looks like butter wow, the colors are gorgeous!!

They really are! The texture of them is just perfection! 🥰

[@dinathomison3159]

Do you think this would work for nail art?

[@carriegnails]

Definitely! Depending on what kind of nail art you may have to thin it out just a tad with some base gel but yes I think it would work for many kinds of nail art 🥰

[@dianehedricks7860]

These look so amazing to work with!!!! I have the solid nail glue and mine is WAY thicker than yours and I have been scared to try it!😂

[@carriegnails]

The gels are a DREAM to work with. I'm looking at their website trying to practice some restraint because I don't need more polishes! But dannngggg. 😂 I think it's worth a try. You may end up loving it! And if you don't, just wipe it all off with alcohol and go back to your original method. 🥰 Uh...P.S....have you checked your email lately?!

How long it stay ?

With proper prep these gels can last anywhere from 10 days - 3 weeks 🥰

[@braidingdoll8226]

I use this nail glue n I followed the prep etc… they popped two days later :( any advice ? I order the same brand…

[@carriegnails]

Without knowing your prep it’s hard to guess where the issue is. Couple things to try: - Make sure you remove any excess cuticle from the nail bed with a glass file or efile with cuticle bit. Avoid cuticle removers as this could cause lifting. - Use a dehydrator or alcohol to wipe the nails down well. Gently rough up the natural nail with a nail file/buffer. - Use a gel primer or protein bond. (I prefer Young Nails Protein bond.) - After primer/bond, use a layer of gel base and cure. - Be sure you are fully curing the nail glue with a lamp 48 watts or higher. HTH! Good luck!

[@amberpage149]

Crooked nail club member over here! 🙋‍♀️ I know it didn't work perfectly but your nails DO look straight as arrows! The nail glue looked kind of thick when you were putting it on. Did you find any issue with your tips sticking our more from the beds? It doesn't seem to on camera but I was curious. Also, this mani?! Gorgeous 😍

[@carriegnails]

Thank you so much as always Amber! 🥰 The glue definitely works. I just thought it was harder to get it right than I expected it to be. It definitely flattens out as long as you hold it down when flash curing. Definitely no thicker than anything else I've used to attach my nails. I've definitely had my fair share of crooked nails, but it definitely doesn't happen much now that I've gotten more comfortable with them!

[@Nana5boys]

I like to press it on the tip

You’re really not suppose to use ur hands to apply. U need to dip the nail in it.

[@carriegnails]

Thanks for your input! I was following a photo tutorial posted by the brand on their website. It’s under the “How to Use” www.vettsy.com/products/uv-solid-false-nail-tips-glue-rhinestone-glue?variant=39619565944911&currency=USD&gclid=Cj0KCQiA8t2eBhDeARIsAAVEga1WSSepom6xrSwAhxHOQMSgR8VxdS6glYQW9L9vlblOyYF3caiSDX8aAjsIEALw_wcB I have seen it applied with the nail tip as well. I did try that offscreen and didn’t find it much easier to use that way but to each their own.
