ZERO LIFTING! Acrylic Nails with Dehydrate & Primer (Mia Secret 3 Week Update)

[@asias4793]

I watched like 20 different videos to figure out if I need the dehydrator and you finally answered THANK YOU

[@thatswhatshesaid.literally737]

*Thank you for telling it like it is!! Dehydrator and primer have two totally separate functions; both of which are necessary for a proper nail set.* *Dehydrator (nail prep) removes any oils from the nail plate and dries the area to prepare it for product application. Primer works like double sided tape for the acrylic; once in contact with the acrylic and monomer, it ensures the monomer will harden to a perfect seal on the underneath side.* *There's a reason they say "prep & prime" and not "prep or prime". (If it was a step you could skip with no problem, the cheaper nail salons would be skipping it to save $ on the added product usage- believe me.) Lol!* *Love all of your videos! Thanks for sharing!* 👍😀

[@courtcourttv4886]

She Who Knows All Do you put the dehydrator and primer on before you glue down the nail ?

[@NicoleNikkiB]

I use this same product. Love Mia Secret...I have one set on for about 3 weeks with no lifting. Just started doing others nails and they love them.

[@mrskendrabanks]

Yesss it works so well. I haven't been using anything else lol. So cool you are doing other's nails!

[@ayoitslindz168]

Do you use nail tips or forms ❤️ I’m starting out and I wanna know which gets longer results

[@lisasaddler7300]

Just did my first Mia Secret nails, love their products.

[@CosmoBeautyJunkie]

Your nails look amazing. Absolutely no lifting. You do a good job.

[@mrskendrabanks]

CosmoBeautyJunkie Thank you so much sis!

[@ShantePrestwood92]

Thank you I needed to make sure I was using bit right like by putting the dehydrator on and then putting the primer on and then applying the acrylic I wasn't sure if I was doing it right Ive been doing it for a year and about 4 months but I still am learning and need to know little tricks sometimes so thank you!!!

[@asboukcomfortable1670]

3 weeks no lifting! Its £13-16 a bottle in the UK. Im looking into it! Tried a load of primers and bonders and my nails chip! Will try it. Uk

[@jamerahdrakeford1178]

I've been using mia secret I love it the monomer is so strong I've been thinking about trying the oderless monomer. Love the video ❤

[@mrskendrabanks]

I have heard about the odorless monomer, but I heard that it doesn't set like the "strong" stuff. If you try it let me know how it works! i'm going to look into it. Glad you enjoy the video!

[@jacquilyntatum3973]

No lies here I love this brand

[@peachmartirez8928]

have you tried using these on full cover gel tips instead of acrylics?

[@Angel_Hearted50]

Can please give me some feedback. I do my own nails with the same. No lifting. I had a full set for a month. Now I have an overlay and still no issues. I have done two others, but they still lose the entire nail.

[@rajnandanchauhan8238]

Thank you

[@shellywilson8167]

I do my real nails with dip powder and noticed lifting an it really thin out my nails. I am careful with the cuticles an been doing them for about 5 months.-please any idea?thank you sooo much ❤️

[@lindsayholbrook8812]

Just bought a primer and dehydrator today! Thanks for the info!!!

[@nailsofinterest]

Oh I love mia secret!! The only time I didn't use it i used a le kit that said it wasn't necessary bit it is I used both dehydrate and primer! Love them both!

[@artchicke3653]

Do you put the hydrator first or the nail tip? I’ll prep my nail putting the dehydrator and then I sand the tip and then I glue it onto my nail and then I put the acid primer after and then the acrylic and my nails keep on lifting so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong? Ty

[@marlanique8050]

so you put the nail prep then the xtrabond right after?

[@danir1814]

can you use the primer and dehydrator with another brand monomer ?

[@nettyflores7364]

Hello I had a question??? If I’m doing acrylicnails and I’m prepping and do I add a bases coat before acrylic application or just skip the base coat? I’ll add dehydrator but would I be able to use base coat anytime during the process or is it only for polish?

[@RheRheSmily]

Will it work for polygel?

[@Racheal-thegemini]

Thanks for this video I’m going to order Mia Secret products

[@aniadawson5801]

Ok. I have been officially convinced. 3 months is a long time with no lifting? That is amazing. I definitely will invest in the dehydrate and the bonder. Thanks for the video. We Do Our Own Nails #Giveaway

[@mrskendrabanks]

Yes 3 weeks is a long time considering a fill should be every 2 weeks. I'm glad you enjoy the video! #WeDoOurOwnNails

[@cloud-bu1dz]

hello i have a question im just really a beginner so im really not familiar with gels; umm so does builder gel, sculpting gel and poly gel, acrylic are all the same? and, is this possible to use to stick on fake nails as a glue and cure it? im kinda afraid to sculpt a nails using this gels. I wanna do it step by step. btw video is really informative i was gonna buy this gel hehe

[@patriciagallacher6741]

You can use gel base coat to stick full cover nails down if you prefer that, they can last upto 3 weeks, just search for a video on u tube.

[@Jasminethomas1014]

I really need your help girl on how to do acrylic on my non dominate hand ☹️

[@brandibarnette4908]

Can I just use the primer on my nails. Will that last long without the acrylic. Would thay brake like that.

[@d.s.28]

I love your videos.You have a great personality.

[@lily-xh3yp]

I am going to get my nail primer and dehydrator in the mail where in the acrylic nail routine do you put them on? Like do you put the dehydrator after you file your nail? And do you put the primer on before or after you glue you tip on?

[@Pale4Lyfe]

Lily Anne Clean your bare nails with alcohol before you do anything so your not pushing natural oils into your nails. If you took off polish and used 100% acetone you don’t need to, because that will also take off any oils. After you file and remove the shine on your nail, you would use the dehydrator, then apply tips, then apply the primer, then apply your acrylic. Please be careful not to get anything on your skin! When you’re removing the shine on your nails, make sure to be very gentle and do not keep going over the same spot because it will make your nails thinner and you really don’t want to use any rougher than a 180 grit.

[@lily-xh3yp]

Allison Wright thank you 😊

[@mzkennadee]

I thought when you used the dehydrator that replaced having the file the nail.

[@sherlynbell7181]

What kind of nail glue do you use?

[@haunthunterify]

Actual video explanation starts at 2:25

[@heathermozo4328]

YOU ROCK !!🙌 THANK U!!!

[@kerrikordyban4930]

I’m having some issues, I use the same products and I have crumbling around the sides and then eventually it lifts and I’m really bad at picking them so they last maybe three days. I start with acetone, then I file with a 180, then I go in with a cuticle bit and push back cuticles after before doing two coats of dehydrator and primer. What am I doing wrong ☹️

[@storm9685]

Ok you have your steps backwards do cuticles first then buff then dust with a nail brush or a kabuki makeup brush. After this step before I dehydrate i clean the nails with 100% acetone. FYI Clip cuticles too acrylic just will not stay on skin and as soon as it comes into contact with it it will lift. Make sure you're clipping hang nails too. also don't flood the area.

[@sherlanaharris5480]

@@storm9685 is it that the primer goes only on the "fake nail " and the dehydrator on your nail bed?

[@storm9685]

@@sherlanaharris5480 No dehydrator on the natural nail then wait as little as 30 seconds to as long as a minute and a half for it to dry, then go in with the primer on the natural nail and let again dry 30 secs to 1 1/2 mins! NOW DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FINGER TIPS TO YOUR NAILS AT ANY POINT! The skin oils will disrupt the prep work you just did. Now you're ready to glue on tips and your acrylic!

[@no999o]

You should try o.p.i monimor and polymer please do a video on it

[@MrsDSJ08]

K.diamond Please tell me what I may be doing wrong, each time I apply the mia secret acrylic (or any other acrylic) the nails pop off. I clean my cuticles so I’m not sure what could be wrong!!

[@mrskendrabanks]

Hi! Have you seen my video on how to properly prep the nails to prevent lifting? (Video Link) >> kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4e8Z4qHpNyCb9E Check that out if you have not, that should help. Make sure your are filing the surface and dehydrating and priming your nails before applying the acrylic.

[@MrsDSJ08]

Girlllll I’m going to have to purchase the MIA secret primer and dehyd. I have been using the one from the Kiss package, maybe that’s the problem 😂😂😂I’ve been watching your vids for awhile. Thanks for all that you do!

[@roxanagomez2106]

You can use the primer as an anti fungus?

[@djmp121]

Hello!! Can I use the nail prep and the xtrabond with a different monomer brand and different acylic brand?

[@badgalpandamanda]

Diana Madrid doesn’t matter

[@AgaveBrown1128]

Amazing!!!! Will you take off your tips an apply to your natural nail? They look great!

[@mrskendrabanks]

Agave Brown That would have been a great idea! I try that next time

[@monnyvilla1859]

Thanks to you

[@sheleatbarrett1011]

Is acid free the same as being odorless?

[@patriciagallacher6741]

No monomer is the acrylic liquid that goes with the powder,primer is like double sided sticky tape applied before acrylic. Acid primer is stronger than normal primer and puts little holes in the nail for the acrylic to attach to.

[@jenniferperez980]

Ive been using the ASP products from Sallys beauty supplies and its been going great but i do have some lifting. Im going to try out Mia Secret because this nails look good after so long

[@mrskendrabanks]

Jennifer Perez I've been wanting to test different acrylic sets but I'm in luv with Mia Secret because it lasts and glides on so smoothly. Hope you like it!

[@jenniferperez980]

Thanks you for ur reviews on this

[@ladydede88]

I use ASP too but I still get lifting shoot after a few days idk why I prep properly and everything

[@mariafitts]

But do you wash dishes and shower every day?

[@AvieDigital]

Thank you 🙏🏾. Let’s try. Im a beginner to doing my nails 💅🏾. Retrying with dip powder.

[@MUGGLYFE007]

I am trying dip powder too with both the Xtra bond and dehydrater

[@AvieDigital]

@@MUGGLYFE007 that’s cool. I gave up on doing nails myself, I tended to damage my natural nails too much with the electric files. I started designing press ons. And I use adhesive nail tabs now lol. Those primers do work no doubt about it.
