As a professional nail tech, I am AMAZED that you can get your crystals to last for 3/4 weeks using only top coat as the glue. I have to use gem gel or my clients lose them immediately. Lol
I did lose a few at the tip but with the Makarrt rhinestone adhesive they don’t budge. I used it for my red rhinestone French tips and didn’t want to remove the set. 😂 they held up so good.
I’m obsessed with the shape!!! The gems look so girly and pearly
I’ve binged so many of your videos the last few days. Your content gave me the push I needed to try my nails at home! I just got done doing my first set and I’m excited to see how I improve! These are definitely not the best nails I’ve rocked but practice makes perfect 😂 thank you for all your guidance! So lucky to have a free resource like this
TYSM 🌺 happy to have you here 🤍
Right, so I'm a ham fisted 35 year old IT guy trying to learn how to do nails for my other half. I don't get the gluing step...I'm getting copious squeeze out AND air bubbles. It should be impossible to get both, surely. I've tried all sorts, applying the glue in thin coats to both nail and extension; applying a glob of glue to the base of the extension and sliding it down; applying a thick layer of glue just to the nail...every time the same thing.
I would try using less gel glue and I only apply the glue to the gel extensions not my nail. It sounds like you could be using a lot of glue, what glue brand are you using? I prefer thicker brands of the glue as well that may also help do that it doesn’t slide off.
@@JourneyswithJai I'm not sure what the brand is but my other half has this thick stuff that you can barely get out the jar (small pink jar with a black top) but I got the same thing with that; air bubbles in the middle and squeeze out on the edges. I'm pretty good with a Dremel so the squeeze out is easy to deal with but the extensions come off after a couple of days...I think maybe the extensions have a lot more curve side-to-side than her nails do - is that a thing? 🤔
@@nr1288 idk if you've figured something out by now but the curve is a thing!!! have you tried using a thinner glue? maybe the glue is just too thick to sit comfortably under the nail! the beetles nail glue is really good. if that doesn't work you could try polygel to attach the nail instead of the nail glue, however this is much thicker but it might adhere better!!
@@nr1288 make sure to buff the nail from any shine because it can cause lifting and that makes the nail come off after a couple days. Also never use a nail size that’s too big for your other half’s nail!! It can also make it come off easily so if you’re stuck between two sizes do the bigger side just file down the sides until they fit perfectly against their nail plate. Otherwise it sounds like you’re using too much glue so definitely try different amounts! Good luck!
Definitely look for nail tips that are _not sculpted_ because it sounds like you're saying she has nail beds that are on the flatter side. Most vendors show the side profile of the tips as well. Using the shape closest to hers also means needing a lot less glue to fill negative space. Agree with the others to try a thinner formula and use way less in addition to buying the right shape. Love that you're intent on getting it just right for her 💜
So PRETTY!!!!!
Understated elegance. So straightforward, but the overall effect is just beautiful. Well done!
Thank you so much 🌺🤍
Very beautiful looooove the turn out ❤❤❤❤
They are gorgeous!!
Thank You🥰 🤍
Great video thank you. You did an amazing job girlie.❤️
Thank you! 🤍
Thank you for your videos and for sharing your methods 😊 I tried this set with a different shape of nails (square) and different rhinestones. The outcome was amazing! I had compliments 🥰 So thank you for inspiring me 😘
The perfect beginner friendly go to video for gel x nails I’ve came across Thnkyou.. I’m excited to start doing my own nails!
TYSM 🤍
These are perfect
TYSM🤍
I felt like I was watching Rihanna getting her nails done, your voice is so similar to hers! 😁 And btw, the nails turned out fabulous, I loved it! Beijos do Brasil! 🇧🇷💕
Thanks you for such a nice compliment and for watching 🤍
Should you use top coat over the rhinestones to seal it or not?
Could you please do this on a set of shorties!!!!! So I can get the pattern down
Great video! Thanks for educating us for free 🙏🏾 may I ask how long these last you for?
My sets typically last 3 to 4 weeks.
Hello! I love your videos ! I need some help , I just purchased my first set. I ordered the medium almond gel x by apres. They are too small for my nails and my nail beds are too flat. The ones that fit the size of my nails, are too arched. Does this mean I need to get a large size apres set? Or should I order something else to fit my flatter nail beds ? Thanks for your help !:) I enjoy your content so much !
Hi! It sounds like you would benefit from using their natural nail tips instead of the sculpted ones they are much better if you have a slightly flatter nail bed 🤍
What brand and type gel tip did house use I like the stilleto look but the round tip
U have
Hi, I can no longer find the link for the tips but I included the brand and details in the description box 🤍
LOVE these nails! May I ask where your thumb rings are from they’re beautiful! 🤩 ❤
Thank you! They are rings that I sold on my website in the past🤍
So pretty!! Do you prefer this method or the overlay method best?
I personally like both methods a lot! 🤍☺️
Thanks for responding!!
Loved the video, tried to purchase somethings from your links and they are not taking me to the products.
Hi, I took a look and had to correct them for you guys. Sorry about that 🤍
Can we use builder gel instead of the glue ?
It is recommended to apply the gel extensions with gel glue. Builder gel is meant merely to strengthen and build up your nail. I hope this helps 🤍
I noticed you don't use a primer?
Can you do a short set just for the esthetics I guess. I’m a nurse shouldn’t be doing my nails really but can sneak a nude x short almond or coffin.
Definitely 🤍
Can I ask what nail tips you use please ?
The nail tips are the long stiletto by the brand DND but I cannot find the link for them anymore. You may be able to find them through their direct website or through a nail supply. 🥺 i’ve been searching, high and low for this link for you guys.
What brand tips are these? These are beautiful!!

@@JourneyswithJai thank you! I’ll definitely check the website out! Don’t stress yourself too much!🤍
If I by any chance come across them again, I will personally comment back to you and link where you can find them. 🤍
@@JourneyswithJai I appreciate you thank you!
Is it just me or is removing cuticles is difficult 😢 I tried to gelx on my nails last night and I guess I did something wrong because my cuticles hurt so bad that I just took them off. I think I may have put too much glue and got it on my cuticle when applying the nail . I’m not sure what I did wrong but are you suppose to kinda get the nails under the cuticle area or is it placed right in front of it?
Hey girl, I do my own gel-x nails and to answer your question simply, no you’re not meant to place them under the cuticle. You’re meant to place it around 0.5mm away from the cuticle careful to not get any gel on the skin or cuticle. Try it next time you do your nails and I’m sure it won’t be painful ❤ I love this creator but I also recommend watching a video called ‘HOW TO APPLY GEL-X THE RIGHT WAY - the overlay method’ by the creator ‘Neophyte nails’. Hope this helps
I don’t see a list of products ?

Very pretty!!! Can you link the nails?
Thank you, unfortunately I can no longer find the nail tips online. The other nail tips that I use that are the same except they are not etched on the inside is by beetles.
They are the same length and shape. amzn.to/48KCrlI
@@JourneyswithJai thanks so much❤
Hi, Perfect look :-) I have a question, what do you do with gel under nails? On my nails it's look bad to me
Hi, do you have excess glue under your nail?
@@JourneyswithJai hi :-) yes , always like this, even though I use a small amount of the product :-(
