Love the length shape and c curve! Thanks for the great tips

[@NanaNan1]

Young Nails Acrylic is awesome… I can’t do acrylics anymore because over the last year I’ve figured out I’m allergic to the monomer- I trained with Mjay on for both acrylics and gel using YN but Light Elegance is my absolute go to for gel. I too, use the fiber gel to start .. I love LE gel products!❤

[@PurpleRocks31]

I’m old school…I use CND acrylic. Love it…very easy

[@DeliasNailStudio]

I haven’t used CND acrylic in a very long time

[@Connie-nt5nm]

You didn’t even need a pinching tool! Thank you! lol ! I see so many use it … and perfectly use it too, but I always get a beautiful c curve with the forms alone.

[@DeliasNailStudio]

I find if I pinch the nail form correctly I don’t need to use a pinching tool. I have pinching tools, but I’m very rarely use them.

[@NanaNan1]

Me too Connie, I’m a new (older nail tech -53) and was so lucky to find a forms class for all the different shapes. It might add an additional minute or 2 to get the forms fitted to each nail & in the correct position but it save a lot of sculpting and filing time later.

[@Connie-nt5nm]

@@DeliasNailStudio yes !! ME TOO. :)

[@Connie-nt5nm]

@@NanaNan1 absolutely. 💯 %

I used to go live on twitch. I use to zoom out a little and the I would put an x on the table so I would always keep my hand in frame.

[@DeliasNailStudio]

I usually do that but I forgot this time

[@NanaNan1]

Florida!New subscriber great form video

[@NanaNan1]

For lamps you need to know where your product cures - for example 365nm to 405 nm cover MOST gels. If you are getting too much heat you should check your cure wavelength , set your hand outside if the light but placed right at the lips, another technique is to pop your hand in and back out and use low heat cure cycle if your lamp has one.

Just came from your TikTok for the full video. Thank you so much for this! You’re amazing!

[@pinkys_pinkies]

Very good instruction in general, and explanation of apex, hidden apex specifically. I will be trying this soon. Thank you Delia!

[@DeliasNailStudio]

I’m happy this can help

[@Connie-nt5nm]

I just found your channel and I love you already !!!

[@DeliasNailStudio]

Aww Thank you

[@NanaNan1]

I know that smell you are talking about.. antsy of the Hemas (I think there are 3) start my eyes and nose pouring… will always love YN gels but Light Elegance is the best for me & I love it!

[@DeliasNailStudio]

I end up getting a sinus infection because of that smell. I find that light elegance, envogue, magic gel, and the new Babe line from Profiles Backstage are the only four lines that I can use that don’t bother me.

[@katiebell8872]

Do you use the encapsulation method with LE color gels? If so could you do a video on how thick each layer, especially the free edge should be?

[@DeliasNailStudio]

Some time I do & sometimes I don’t. But yes I can make a video.

[@NanaNan1]

Delia Don’t you ❤ the LE thing files… ?

[@Icewcue234]

I have a question my sidewalls crack very easily how do I apply builder gel to keep them from cracking!

[@DeliasNailStudio]

Are your side walls lifting or is the extension breaking where the free edge of your nail meets the extension

[@sushles]

Madam Glam is not HEMA free. They say it is HEMA free, but someone send the products for testing and it turns out... it has HEMA.
They also refuse to furnish a MSDS.

[@DeliasNailStudio]

Ooo I didn’t know that.. I’ll have to look into that. Thank you for letting me know

[@kimieatsu]

I would recommend red iguanas acrygel. I have tried a few different brands and there’s is really good. It doesn’t bubble and it doesn’t run when heated up by the nail plate. It’s easy to get to a smooth finish and it’s hema free. They offer small and large sizes and it’s really affordable.

[@Lisalovesliberty1]

I will 2nd, that I’ve asked Madam Glam for SDS; they responded that they’d send it to me after I placed an order 😂😂😂 I’m like that defeats the purpose 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@DeliasNailStudio]

@@Lisalovesliberty1 That’s not good
