Ikr their aesthetic is so cool, so many funky designs you can make between supernova and Armageddon omg 😩 thank you!!

Thank youuuu Cai as always for supporting 🫶🏻 yeee for sure, I feel like my skills are regressing a bit after moving - want to get back into the flow of nails asap & remember everything / use my brain more loool then I’d know to go with jellojello 🤣🥺 can’t wait to try more yogurt nail!!

@@MichelleMidori yes that’s what I do! means easier removal and less risk of damaging my natural nails (+ can reuse the tips) ☺️ I documented the process/products in a long form video on my channel!

Thank you for watching! 🥺🤍 yes! a small detail but I hope it helps people follow the vision and outcome (sometimes I'm too ambitious hahahaha). Thank you!! 🫶

thank you for watching! Glad if sharing my process helps others 🤗 what sort of sets are you making for F&F?

I'm excited for you to - it gives you more time to play around with the ink pattern and mould it, esp if using a blending liquid/alcohol with a brush! I find I can't really change the ink pattern if I do it on cured gel (which is ok, but I like control hahhaha). Thank you!!

Thank you!! Ikr the super sheer glass polishes are gorgeous, deffo very sheer though so I feel like I need to work more on how to use them without having to layer 728292 times 😂 please get toy gel!! Absolute dream to work with for sure!!

Always grateful for the support 🥺🥺 ikr deffo if you are interested in some medium intensity magnetic gels then I recommend this collection! Will deffo continue with 3D - the only way I’ll improve 🤣 Thank you for the tips!! I did end up stuffing a loooot of bags and fortunately everything arrived safely 🥹 my worst fear is spilled/leaking gel omg

Omg thank you!! Big yesss to doing nails whilst watching nails 🥹 what kind of colours/design did you do?

Thank you! I think I got these bears 2 years ago from SHEIN, but you can get similar onces from Temu!

Thank you!! gel polishes are $$$ so always want to share as much info as I can for the products 🫶🥰

Hi! I haven't ordered from an American retailer (SweetieNailSupply is Canadian) but for SNS, shipping varies. The cheaper shipping option is £9 and comes via Evri, around 10 days end to end. The more expensive shipping option is £15 and comes via Royal Mail, this one takes a lot longer - usually around 2 - 3 weeks 🥲 I'm pretty sure the two options are based on product value e.g. anything under £80 is £9, anything over £80 is £15. There's no import charge on parcels up to £135 value, so I haven't paid import duties on parcels that have a pre-discount basket value of less than £135. Regarding broken, nope, however I did have one pot arrive to me leaking once (pretty sure it's on the manufacturing side) and SNS were super quick to send out a replacement to me 😌 I would also say, definitely see if West Nail or Kkookie stock the brands you're after too though - they're UK-based korean gel retailers (I have personal referral links for both in the description but not commission). hope this helps!

@@nails.boxofhope thank you so much for the info

Yes! I make the nails first and then use nail glue / tabs to attach them - applying press-ons requires some technique so I would recommend figuring out if you have flat or curved nail beds and trying to find tips that fit your nails well ☺️ I made a mini video on my application inside of my ‘removing press-on nails’ video too! czcams.com/video/ByZWt24qLdU/video.htmlsi=6gWrq7N0WTWxjp_5 I plan to make a full-length video on this soon too 🫶🏻

Caiiii, thank you for watching and the lovely compliments as always 🥺🥰✨ I’m glad too! That’s what sharing our work is all about, connecting and growing together 🫶🏻 haha the compliments are just straight facts!! So always happy to signpost your way 😤 I definitely think layering is becoming one of my strengths - I love sprucing up designs with interesting base techniques & definitely want to try more variations this summer! Haha a 3D compliment from the 3D queen - thank you 🙇‍♀️ Hmmm yes like D - ‘VOK’ right? I will see if I can find the Mayo Hangul too and revert back 🧐🤣💖

Thank you for subscribing & welcome! Likewise, I call myself a ‘serious hobbyist’ when it comes to nails haha. It’s amazing to see all the innovation with products over the past couple of years and how talented artists share their ideas - so I’m really happy to be able to try contributing by sharing my art 🤍 thank you for commenting - I’ll keep making this more relaxed style of content!

Yesss - bright orange is so underrated! I’ve been seeing a lot of orange x pink nails recently and I really love this combo 🥹 what are your usual go-to colours to use? & thank you!! I agree, I love lifestyle content as well and I’ve been big into small business / artist channels lately too (like Uncomfy) - it’s nice to have on whilst I do my daily routines. Thank you for watching as always 😌🫶🏻

@@nails.boxofhope I think the orange x pink combo is very pretty! 😊 I use a lot of pink x white, black x pink, or nude/beige with my nail sets! For summer, I want to try more rainbow pastels or neon jelly colors though. :D

thank you!

Yesss, the cooling collection is seriously so pretty! And now that you mention it YES, I didn’t realise the lack of cooler toned magnetic gels 😭 Yea I love my cloud swatches - spent wayyy too long picking the shape I wanted on Taobao 🤣 thank you Cai 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

thank you!!

I use the JelloJello peel off base gel + iBD 5 second gel glue (in a tube, it’s air dry because you can’t use UV gels under opaque tips) ☺️ then I use the JelloJello oil to remove them (I have a video on how I do this on my channel). You can then clean off any of the residue on the tips and reuse them! As long as your press on tips are good quality, they shouldn’t break easily. Hope this helps!

@nails.boxofhope oh wow, I'll have to look into that! I use Walmart nails, so probably not the same quality, but I wonder if that type of glue and oil would still work. Where do you buy them? I'm guessing Amazon?

@@Aedra101 yes, Walmart press-ons may be weaker than handmade (because handmade are usually around 3-4 coats of gel which gives it more strength). I buy my JelloJello products from BeautyBoxKorea or TesterKorea directly from Korea (I’m in the UK). I’m not sure if a US-based Korean gel retailer like SweetieNailSupply stock the products but I would personally avoid buying them from Amazon. There’s a lot of fake products on Amazon and gel is chemicals so best to buy from reputable sources ☺️

@@nails.boxofhope Okay! I'll def look into it! Thanks so much!

Thank you for supporting as always, Cai 🫶 frosting gel is definitely fun to use! this kind of textured 3D gel is definitely unique and interesting, I hope I can keep finding cooler ways to use it 🤣 Definitely recommend the silicone tool - so cheap from Temu too, I can share the link to you!

yesss, thank you for watching!

yesss, I love layering and refracting designs! Thank you for watching 💖

I think you are right! Someone else also mentioned this might be why, too - will buy long plastic stands asap 😭 I'm excited for you to try the set - it's gorgeous!! Thank you! 💖

Thank you! 💖 & oh my goooosh! that never even crossed my mind but yes, it could be this - thank you so much for passing along the info 🫨🫶 seems I need to go back to searching for taller plastic tip stands now 😭 haha I'm glad you didn't donate the polish!

Thank you! 🫶

Maybe this is a weird compliment, but I love your descriptions! They are so organized and make it easy to find the information I need ☺

Thank you Cai 🥰 yesss it’s going to be hard for a colour to top this green for a while 😭 I want to do so many designs with it !! The zig zag gel is great! It has the best consistency for control and taking your time, whilst being able to perfect it - deffo recommend! & you know what, I actually thought this earlier today (that Kokoist boba low gel would have worked better). I’m tempted to try it next bc I deffo want to retry this design with a thicker gel 🥹 thank you for the idea 🧠💡 I’m excited for you to play around with it! Can’t wait to see what you design 🫶🏻 And happy my descriptions are useful! It’s lengthy but helpful, I hope 🥹

Thank you so much! I hope you’ll love it as much as I do !! 🥹 I can’t wait to see more designs from others using the collection too 💖

Thank you!! & thank you for watching 🫶🏻

Thank you for watching friend 🥹💗 haha I can be your resource for any press on Qs! 🫶🏻

Thank you Cai! 💖 haha sometimes I just have ideas in my brain that I need to try 😭🤣 yesss, the zig zag gel is great! Perfect amount of control + it is fluid but also shapeable. Thank you for supporting as always!! 🫶🏻

Thank you so much! 🫶 don't worry you don't come across that way at all - thank you for letting me know, it's really helpful! I'll see if there's any settings I can alter to come up in searches more easily 🥺

:•)) xoxo

Thank you so much! 💖

When it comes to chrome application, yes! You want to cure it to a point where it the chrome sticks (this depends on the instructions of the gel you're using e.g. this Hoholee chakhan top coat instructs 30 seconds for LED or 60 seconds for UV). The chrome can apply patchy or powdery if you over or under cure the gel you're applying it to ☺

It doesn’t destroy them! You can wipe off the sticky tabs / glue / peel off base cost residue using rubbing alcohol (gel cleanser) and reuse them ☺️

Thank you so much for replying. Where do you get the IBD 5 Second Gel Glue from? I can't find it anywhere

@@latoyahmichaela I buy from their UK site but I bulk bought some tubes a few months ago. I can’t seem to find the glue on their site atm 🤔 but I know the dashing diva glue is a similar viscosity - if you’re in the US, you could try that?

Thank you! 🫶🏻

Around 10-14 days with this JelloJello + nail glue method! It would depend on a few factors though (quality of your nail glue, your nail prep + application technique, length of press-ons and how rough you are with your nails). It's really been a process of trial and error for me - I tend to get impatient around the 7-10 day mark though and want to take them off for a new design 😭🤣 A good primer really helps too - my first impression of this Diami one was really good. Thank you for watching - I'm glad it's helpful! 🫶

@@nails.boxofhope thank you soooo much!!!!!

Thank you! Yes, gel safety is so important and I also wish there'd been more awareness around when I started 🥺 I hope to do my part to spread awareness for others 🫶

haha I know the feeling - I feel like we've all ripped nails/nail polish off at one point or another 🥲 but having healthy natural nails is the most important thing in order to wear pretty nail enhancements 😭 Thank you for watching!

Thank you so much! Yesss can’t wait for the warmer weather 🥹🌞 thanks for watching!

Thank you! 🫶🏻
