    Did this yesterday and it worked really well.
    Just some hacks:
    •file your nails gently before sticking on the tips, otherwise the oils in the nails will make the tips fall off
    •do 2 layers of cornstarch, making sure the first layer has fully dried and that you filed it before second coat

    For everyone asking, I tried this:
    -Yes, you can use flour, just make sure there are no lumbs in it
    -Yes, you can do it if the cornstarch is expired (mine was expired for just about 5 months)
    -You can remove these with nail polish remover (it will only dissolve the cornstarch-polish mixture, to remove the tips you will need tip-remover)
    -Mine lasted about 1 to 1 1/2 weeks
    Have fun trying these :)

  • @snowblack3056
    @snowblack3056 Před 7 lety +235

    I do acrylic myself and I never fill my nails down only because you honestly don't have to. As long as you buff the nail and make sure it is clean NO OIL they can last for a while.

    This is absolutely genius. I have a young teenager who is very nail obsessed. She thinks she needs her nails done weekly, and, if you have a knowledge of just how much that costs, well, you get the picture… I refuse to give her what she wants in this area, but, with this idea, I think this may just work beautifully for her! Definitely forwarding it to her and will do this for her, weekly, or anytime she wants if it will get her to hush up about weekly manicures and acrylics!

    • @erinteague9604
      @erinteague9604 Před 4 lety +3

      I loved reading this comment as well..I started getting full sets, a fill at about a week & 1/2 then that entire set off for full new set about 2weeks later---@ age 17. I earned the money myself btw. I started working as a hostess in an upscale club at 18, moved to bartender to bar manager over span of hours. I was engaged during a large part of this time period & I can say he NEVER once saw my real nails even though we lived together almost 7yrs! (Maybe a broken nail here or there-but Id rush out to fix.) I started w/acrylics, moved to pink&whites, then gels. That highend nightclub scene expects certain looks. When I finally graduated& was headed off to my career, my real nails were destroyed!! They were paper thin, hurt at lightest touch, looked awful, & I swear it was 3 years+ before my natural nails were healed & didnt look terrible. I used every strengthening polish, oil, treatment, vitamins,etc. So girls, use this method in the video for day to day- give you nails breaks- only go to a salon for VERY special occasions.

      Change stylist! It should protect your nails and it shouldn't hurt if she's any good. I once had a tech tear my acrylics off and damaged all the nail beds so badly they had bumps for 6 months

  • @janetlopez-sanchez1305

    I tried this and I absolutely love it. You're a genius! Thank you for sharing. I haven't had my nail done in 6 years because the acrylic salon nails destroyed my nails. My daughters wedding is coming up in a month and I wanted my nails to look super nice. Your step by step tutorial and the fact that you don't use that acrylic powder stuff and glue is awesome! With a little more practice my nails will look fabulous for my daughter's wedding. Thank you! 🙏💕

      @Bunny-dl4vh Před 8 lety +26

      I agree. I like how acrylics look. There's nothing wrong with a natural look but I like the thicker " unnatural " look of acrylic nails. I guess if I wanted a natural look I would just leave my nails natural lol

    • @Princess_Maya_19
      @Princess_Maya_19 Před 8 lety +3

      this is just a guess but you could probably use a thicker coat of the corn starch as clear polish mix and go over the whole nail to give it a thicker or acrylic style look and it'll still be will better for your nails.

    • @leeluv96

      +BeautyStar 07 ~There are no binding polymers in the clear polish mixed with the corn starch, the plastic nail isn't protected from the chemical breakdown of any nail polish remover. This will only last until you remove the polish.

    • @jordynnewquist8686
      @jordynnewquist8686 Před 8 lety +1

      +chavira256 no, the glue holds the nail on and you have to soak your nails in acetone to soften the glie

    • @chavira256
      @chavira256 Před 8 lety +1

      The more layers of glue applied across the entire nail , yes it will act as a bonder. For years I used brush on nail glue as a gel and just softly filed the nail tip ridge till it fit flush againest the nail bed and applied nail glue as a bonding gel.

    @voodoonails4084 Před 8 lety +453

    im a nail tech and never have i had a clients nails look like that after removal, and my advice to the people that are expereancing this, is change your tech! nails should be excactly the way they were before acrylics, maybe a bit soft for the first day but there should be no damage at all!

    • @danah3839
      @danah3839 Před 8 lety +10

    • @voodoonails4084
      @voodoonails4084 Před 8 lety +17

      Soak them of with acetone for at least 20 mins chick, then a light buff to smooth, techs should never use an electric file on natural nails niether, personally i remove them by filing away the bulk then soak and i aways give a mini manicure and apply a hardening top coat because nails are always soft for the first day or so, but if youre techs wrecking youre nails i would say change, hope that helps

    • @SiM-dq3qd
      @SiM-dq3qd Před 8 lety +40

    • @voodoonails4084
      @voodoonails4084 Před 8 lety +44

      Why the hell would i lie lol im not stupid its my job so dont patronise me, if your nails are like that wen theyve finished 1 id want my money back and 2 youre NOT going to people who can do there job its pretty simple! techs should look after the natural nail just as much as the would there own, im not saying they do but they should! And 10 techs lol if thats the case why have them done 10 times pfft!! Ive got nothing to prove to you nor any1 else i was simply giving my opinion, and the girl asked for advice i gave her the same advice as i would anybody else, NONE of my clients have walked away with there nails a mess! Like i said why would i lie? Im not short of clients and i love my job my clients come back each month, if i did that to there nails they wouldnt come back! Its not rocket science!

This should save me money and the time waiting for my nails to be healthy again the next time I need a quick fix for short/broken nails. Thanks

  • @victoriousvalentine9779

    What you are doing is fantastic and a great option for some. It was really good of you to share your technique. I'd just like to say in support of acrylics and talented techs - I shuddered when I saw your nails - bad memories of similar damage years ago. She tore my nails off and the damage she caused took 6 months to repair. It was excruciating. I didn't know any better. I thought that must be how it was done.
    Subsequently I have had several brilliant techs and always acrylics, and my nails have actually improved and are in the best shape they have been for years ( when I see them at fill time). So shop around there are some acrylic magicians out there if anyone is interest

    I tried this a couple of times and it would last about 4-5 days before one popped off. Then my boyfriend saw what I was doing and suggested I coat my whole nail and the tip with the corn starch so it's more stable. If you get a good consistency with the corn starch and nail varnish it goes on smoothly, dries like a rock and you can buff the whole nail into the perfect shape without it being as thick as a lot of acrylics. Lasts a lot longer too!

    Wow!!! This girl is extremely talented!!! I would of never thought to do this. The results are amazing! I used to be a fan of the thick curved look (as a teenager) but now, I am looking for the the most natural looking nails.. the salons I’ve gone to, can never achieve that look. I decided to learn myself... I bought all the products they use in the salons, & am watching CZcams videos to learn. Now that I’ve seen this!! I’m definitely going to try! Not only does it look amazing! But it looks easy to do, however I can’t polish to save my life, so it maybe harder than it looks. Anyway, amazing job!! Thanks for sharing your nail secret with us!!
