“Most of the time I feel like we don’t finish them in one day” The truest statement ever. I’ve been doing my own nails for years now and unless they’re very basic I always finish them the day after. I purposely make sure I don’t have anything to do that morning 😹
That’s so real! I used to set aside an entire day to do my nails because I didn’t know if I would actually pick it up the next day or if my brain would just say nah 😂 two days is actually much more reasonable, thank you for this 🙌🏻
I was so happy she said that because I thought I was failing by needing multiple days. I like taking my time and enjoying the process but stress out it takes forever
thanks for making me feel better. I keep saying I gotta get faster
Facts.
This is so me!!!!!😂
I use this kit, each set with the correct prep last a month for me! It’s definitely worth it imo. Great video&nails as always! ❤️
Are they weaker than having acrylics or polygel on your nails?
Samee
@@plumbranch2493 I'll say they are weaker but it's not really noticeable. It doesn't impact everyday life. Now if you are heavy on your nails, that's a different story.
@@plumbranch2493 I do my nails this way and use a nail Bond base and put gel underneath and on top of the nails and they’re pretty strong I can’t tell the difference anymore. This method is very popular in Korea if you search Korean “self nail” videos “셀프 네일” there’s a lot of videos and techniques :)
I have found that etching the underside of the nail tips helps mine last, and not flooding is something I have to work on, but it's great, especially for the price and speed
“I have my nails here…I don’t know why I say that as if I could misplace them…but here they are.” 😂😂😂 laughing so hard ❤
Girl these came out good af! You’re really really hard on yourself and you don’t give yourself enough credit! You killed these, and your skill has come soooo far from your first mail video, you’re so talented fr! Been wanting some cherry blossom stickers but you’ve inspired me to try at least try painting! 🌸 💖
I use this kit and I’m obsessed. I was doing poly gel for a while and it was just so much work. These are so easy and they last FOREVER. They do soak off as well! After 2 weeks I soak them off and just apply a new set. I have never had one randomly pop off or anything and I work at a grocery store so I’m constantly using my hands.
Do u etch the inside of the nail?
@@hopeking37 You Can
Beetles also sells big boxes of different gel polishes, they're small bottles but if you like changing colors often they're pretty nice for the price! Some of them even come out decent in 1 coat
Yes! I absolutely love their small bottles bcuz when i have big bottles, they go bad before i can finish them! I have 3 different collections fro them and 1 from modelones(hustbgot it today, so excited!). These are for my personal use, but i even end up using some of the colors for my press on business when i don't have the exact color/dont feel like or can't mix it.
The happiness I feel when you post a new video!!! Hope everything is going well and wish you and your husband a good week! Love you babe ❤️❤️
Such an easy kit to use. I have it and have used it quite a bit. Easy for when you need a quick set and don’t have time to sculpt 🙌🏻🧡
Also lasts ages if you get the prep steps down ☺️ I found if I missed a step or didn’t do it right they pop off early 🙈
@@leluxemanicurist What did you do for prep, the usual buff, prime and bond? Did you etch the tips? I find when I do all the prep, the nails still pop off after not too long. Also, do you think the "glue" with this is the same as a base gel? Sorry for all the questions :P
@@jemma8925 I use a coarse file on my natural nail but only very lightly and a few strokes to rough the surface. I find using a buffing block makes it too smooth. I then wipe over using either acetone or alcohol to take away any excess dust or oil. Then go in with a dehydrator and primer. I then do a coat of base gel on my natural nail before gluing the tips on with builder gel in a bottle. I think the glue that comes with the kit is slightly thicker than bad gel but I’m not a fan of gluing the tips on with it as I find it too liquid-y. Builder gel in a bottle is a lot thicker and find it much easier to get no bubbles/ lifting. You can etch the tips as well that will also help with adherence 🙂
The flowers turned out a whole lot better then you’re giving yourself credit for Emily! I think they’re adorable and go with the theme perfectly. You did great ❤️ I am actually going to recreate those flowers on my nails tonight!!
This video was so helpful! Especially the part about ADHD and the steps you take to help with planning your design. Makes it so much less overwhelming! Thank you
I use this kit, and im super hard on my nails. I will pop a nail off every few days but they dont snap or break like when i had acrylics. 100% will continue to use this kit over having to get refills every few weeks. Id rather just pop a new nail on then have to go back to the salon to get my entire acrylic redone.
I’ve used it before but I’ve etched the underside even though it doesn’t tell you to do it it just stays longer. I absolutely love those nails are so cute. Such a good job❤️
i like to etch them too!! sometimes i do it without looking because i’m doing something else and i accidentally etch the sides and they break 😩
How do you etch them ? I don’t do that and mine seem to last hella long but I’d like to try to etch them ;))
i use a dehydrator instead :)
@@KGotSlimes with an Electric file
I do too.. and I kinda scrub the gel glue into my natural nail and apply to the tip and squeeze on like shown here. They last me 2 to 3 weeks before I remove them.... only had three pop off in the last nearly year I've used this kit.
I've been using this kit since January! I've been getting 2ish weeks out of my sets but that's because of how hard I am on my hands. Their gel polishes are nice too!
Their gel polishes are my favorite!! Good quality and very affordable.
I love this kit!!! With proper prep and the right primer (I use the young nails protein bond) they last for weeks! And it’s so fun painting them and making fun designs with their gel polish. ❤️
I also love the clip on lamp too! It makes it super easy and quick to secure the nails on without air bubbles
I just bought that primer and the set I have on now is holding up so well. I usually chip within two days of applying the gel. It's the best!!!
I have one of those little goose-neck lamps and I LOVE it! The way I do my full cover gel tips is flash cure each under the little lamp for maybe 10 seconds, then give the whole hand 60 seconds in my big lamp when they're all on, just to make sure everything is fully cured and solid.
I love the beetles brand. They have some really great products
So true Beetles was the first brand that I used and I continue to use
Hey, Emily so glad your doing this, I was curious about this kit. This set is truly going to be awesome.💅🎨✨✨✨ Your nails are fire, be super proud
As someone who also struggles with ADHD it is so inspiring to see you learning new coping mechanisms. This set turned out so great!!!!
You are so crazy talented, these nails are amazing. When you showed your design I literally gasped cuz I was so excited for it🥰
This set turned out so beautiful! 😍 I love the Beetles nail tip set. I have reviewed this kit on my channel and use it all the time. They are actually my favorite coffin tips. To get them to last longer etching the inside of the tip makes a huge difference. Mines normally last 2-3 weeks. Thanks for sharing! 😊
I love this set and your drawing skills have definitely improved you need to be proud of yourself and definitely post the design xx
I love my beetles nail kits!! I have the dip powder, a couple of their gel polish sets and this tip and glue set! They’re my favorite. I’m a serious nail bitter so using these plastic things to keep my nails out of my mouth without spending bank at salons. Saved my life. My nails are actually growing now
Thank you for linking the lamp, I’ve been struggling getting both hands under my lamp when I do full cover tips and this will be a game changer!!!
okay but what you said about using products io completely and feeling joy from it is SO REAL!!!! i once took a picture of an empty bottle of conditioner because of how proud i was for using every last bit of it. the feeling of satisfaction was amplified by how thick of a conditioner it was, and how small an opening the bottle had.
Oh my gosh, those blossoms!! ❤❤❤ I love that in your channel you can literally see an example of "practice makes parefect" this set was incredible. Also, I also have ADHD, and putting yourself in the mindset of working WITH it instead of against it is such a game changer. I get comments all the time about my methods of doing things being strange but I have found what works for my special little brain and live a lot more comfortably now than I ever did trying to do things "normally." I absolutely love that you are finding ways to work with yourself and finding your own methods. Never forget to give yourself grace, and patience. ❤
So proud!! I always try and plan my nail design prior, sometimes I don’t get the creative spark but when I do things always go by so much smoother :). Such a cute set omg!! 🖤🖤
Honestly SO PROUD watching this!! Your skills always seem to improve so much- and not only that, but I feel like in the past, you would give up, or just settle for the first version of the sakura design. The first one looked fine, BUT WHEN U CAME BACK??!!! IT LOOKS SO IMPRESSIVE!🤌🏻🤩🔥 the nails look so cute, and thank you so much for another great video Emily, we 💖 uuuuu!!
Just finished the video and omg, I'm actually dying over the other hand too, that marble is SO CUTE😍
This is such a cute design! Beetles tips and polish work great, especially for the price.
You did such a good job with these nails! And I said this before but I'll say it again, you are so pro for matching and mixing with colors! And yes def create a highlight on your ig for the designs you make!
I love this nail kit been using it for months! For those thinking about getting the kit I do recommend you etch the inside of each nail prior to using the gel glue. Also recommend if you place soak off builder gel as you foundation it will be easier to take off with less damage ok the nail. 10 min soak the builder gel gets gummy and pops right off.
Thank you Emily!! You motivate me to do my nails and lately I just haven't been in a mental space to do that for myself :( I love this set so much you are so talented 💕
Your art turned out SO lovely!!! Great job as always! So happy for the video🥺 have a nice week 💖
This set was honestly so adorable, I'm in love with it ❤️❤️❤️
Love you, Em! So happy to see an upload today.
Always great to have an Emily video on a Sunday afternoon! I have tried the beetles kit and I really like the tip glue, it works well and stays great!
love your videos!!! especially the long ones 😃
I absolutely love this kit! So fast and easy to use, for anyone!
These are awesome I love it! They came out super cute and the flowers are amazing!
I love the set you did. They are so cute. Cherry blossoms are one of my favorite 💐.
Your designs are always so cute! I love this set!!
I’m obsessed with this set!!
So happy that you posted. Good end to my day. Hope you are well 💜💜
Thank you SO MUCH for linking that lamp! I literally just paused the video to go order one😅 I have a UV flashlight that I usually use by propping it up on a box but always end up having to redo a couple nails cuz they end up crooked, so this is gonna make it so much easier!!
I love this kit and it’s my go to every time I don’t want to use acrylic! 💖
I loved both the designs so much! Loved the cutesy cherry blossoms 💖 and the how you just whipped up a whole cute set on the other hand so quickly and it turned out just as amazing and cute💕
Beetles blooming gel is really awesome too 😍
cant wait!!!
This set turned out so beautiful 😍🥰
You always amaze me love with such creative nails. I got this kit a couple months ago and still haven’t tried it yet. I’ve been getting nail stuff here and there this past year but I haven’t used any of it on myself yet because I’ve had to give my nails time to heal because I about lost them all and thankfully didn’t and about lost my toe nails too from chemotherapy for the stage 2 triple negative breast cancer that’s I’ve been fighting this past year. All my nails are pretty much healed up so I’m excited to finally do something cute to them. I’ve been watching and learning from your videos and some other creative nail artists I watch here on YT. Thank you for doing these vids sweet pea and know you have someone in southeast Kentucky that admires you and your creative nail work. 💕
Love the set 💖
When I'm doing something tiny like the smile I prefer to use a tiny dotting tool or even a needle. They are more stable than a brush.
In love with these nails. Great job, they are beautiful!
Wow!!! You did such an amazing job on this nail art!!! 💗💕
This looks like a cool kit! I use an extra floor tile for a pallet as well! Easy to clean too..nice set Emily💅😘 thanks for sharing 😊
I love this set they're so cute
I've used this kit before and found it so easy to use
Love you emily!
That lamp has been so wonderful for me. I do my own nails also and that has been a game changer trying to hold tips in place while curing.
Yeah I have this kit in my cart too. They are really popular right now. These nail glue sets
It’s a good kit and super cheap if you get it on offer. I think they’re probably all very similar though ☺️
Wow this set is awesome! You did such a good job
I was curious about this kit, thanks for this vid!!
I’ve bought and used this kit once so far. I wasn’t super pleased with the nail tips, but I was really happy with everything else in the kit, especially the nail lamp and how it allows space for both fingers to be placed in while curing. At least until the gel in the nail tip cures with the pressure on it to avoid air bubbles. I have also bought and used Aprés system with their mini light and it’s so hard to turn the lamp on and then go into the light to get both fingers under there with proper light coverage on the nail with the tip. But I seriously love Aprés Gel nail tips and how they feel on my nails after finishing the full set. It’s like they are my own nails, they seamlessly blend into my skin and on my nails so effortlessly. Now I use the beetles lamp with Aprés nail tips and have the best system ever down pat when I do nail tips over my nails. I prefer my natural nail when they are long and stay that way for a while, but they do eventually break, and that’s when I use nails tips until they grow back out again.
Thanks for the video, and I LOVED your nail art so much! You were legit as close to the original looking nails that you had mapped out on your phone as you can get imo 😊. Looking forward to what you will show us next time, it will be great I’m sure!!! 😆 take care, and stay safe and healthy. 😊🙋🏽♀️💜💅🏽😍
Super fun set you did them so well!!!!😍
Wow! Those came out amazing! So stinkin cute.
I get so excited when you post a video and it is so good 💗
These turned out so good! I think they’re adorable 😍
I love this set so much! I think planning it out is such a good idea & I loved the long video! Thanks for taking the time to make it for us ☺️
I like the the set very much! It really is a beautiful set. Great Work Emily🌸🌺🌸
I love full cover tips. Thats all I do on myself. So quick!! And I always plan out my design on practice tips so I can just get to it. I do alter things sometimes (most of the time 🤭), on at least 1 finger or design.
Always etch the underside of the tip. And even though that little lamp held them in place; a full cure in your regular lamp is highly recommended
Perfect timing I was literally just looking for this-❤️
I came across your channel a couple of weeks ago and I'm obsessed. I literally have been binge watching all your videos. I find them so relaxing, you are so talented. X
Wow I like the thought process, I'm more on the go but going to try to plan my press on. Thank you, great video🥰
I have seen this all over my fb and was so curious if it's good. so I'm so happy you've done this video!!!
These turned out amazing
I love their polish
I find that etching the inside of the nail tips helps it last soooooo much longer. I did one finger testing what would happen if I left the inside of the nails alone, and that is the only nail that has popped off. All my other nails are still completely on and feel strong and it has been 1.5 weeks. The one nail popped off after 1 day.
Thank you for this even though it’s like a year later lol
I'm allergic to something (the polymer or monomer) with acrylics and gel at home has been my savior. I might have to try the kit. I just ordered a single polish from them. Can't wait to try it!
This set came out so beautifully ❤
I literally was looking at this last week! Thanks for testing it out!
They are so cute. You did a fantastic job on karomi. You're nail art is getting so much better. It's cool to watch you grow. Awesome job beautiful.
Love seeing both sets of nails, glad u made the other match!
I have these on rn! I bought a different shape set of tips and it works perfectly. I love this kit and it's soooo beginner friendly.
I have the regular Beetles gel nail kit, I like it a lot. When I saw that set on Amazon, I instantly thought about getting it. I’ll definitely try it after seeing so many videos about them.
I think they are amazing!❤
These came out so good, well done emily xx
I just got the medium almond kit and I love the kit so much! The lamp makes everything so much easier and the tips are the same quality as the Diami Canoe tips.
You’re nails look so good!!! Thank you for the video. You’re super talented.
Just added this to my cart! Beetles is my favorite nail brand! So excited to try this kit.
emily!!! they came out SO good!! also unrelated but watching you over the past year has really inspired me to embrace that i actually am a pink girlie 💗
super cute! i love beetles!
yes post it, and i have that kit but havent used it yet, i am forever doing dark nails, i am working on using it the very next time
I love the kit so far ❤️ i have my first set of these on now ☺️
Very Cute, I have the curing light too it's a real game changer 💜
yes, please post your designs in a story highlight!! The nails came out so cute 💕✨🌸
So impressed with the cherry blossoms!! I’m glad you didn’t give up on them! 💖
Yasss! You just made my day❤️
I'm so happy to see you try beetles! honestly the best color sets out there for the price, their no wipe top coat is a MUST
also fun tip, if you want to know the fastest way to do a design, try looking up how to paint it in acrylic. this has helped with soooo many sets
Yaaaaas!!!! I have been waiting new video and now it is here!! So happyhappy now! 🌸🌸🌸
Your drawing skills are on pointttt! 🔥 I love this set! 😍
These are so beautiful 💕
Yes! Please post your designs! It would be so fun to replicate or draw inspo from your designs!
I use the this kit & same method with other brands … they usually last me around 2.5 weeks then one pops off.. it’s perfect for someone who wants to change them often but way more durable than press-ons. I ALWAYS etch … started priming the tips as well as natural nail & seems to be helping … I use young nails protein bond .. really focus on cuticle area … you know PROPER nail prep & they do me fine .. but ONLY if I do great nail prep! Oh and I always use base coat before the beetles “nail glue”…. It’s actually one of my ALL TIME favorite adhesive for lazy girl method …. I bought 2 more full sized bottles after I ran out because it works GREAT (w/good prep)!
Emily’s nails always bring me so much joy!
Lots of love !!!
🌹💯🌟🔥
I use my protein bond also. So just to be clear, you do normal prep like you would for a full set, then etch the inside of the full cover tip, use PB on both the natural nail and nail tip then apply the nail glue and cure?
I would love to have the ease of not doing fills on myself every 2 weeks anymore 😅
