Ive been doing nails for 25 years and I absolutely love this lady and her cute and accurate videos. I would definitely recommend this channel to ppl who are starting out bc shes straight forward on what to do. Great video 👍💅💕💯💫
She is AMAZING ! Unfortunately there is soooo many chop shops and "nail tech" who have no idea how to safely and properly work on nails , there should be more regulations in nail shops because there is soo many people who ended up with ifections or even amputations.
Dual forms are my go-to now. And I used to HATE them. It definitely is just doing it consistently and getting a technique down. I’m so much faster using them now than I am with any other method so I think I’m hooked fr. Still have a special place in my heart for paper forms and sculpting though☺️
I love free forms because you have better control of where the product is going instead of praying it smushes right, leave less room for cuticle error which is what causes a lot of poor outgrowing nails. Which later will mess with your actual immune system, i love how careful you are with cuticles! Youre one of the best. Theres this other artist currently circling on Snapchat that just paints and cleans around the cuticle as they go but people dont understand that flooding the cuticles is how product gets STUCK under the cuticles. You wanna avoid flooding as much as possible and thats just not practicle with free forms.
The smooshing is a trend and dual forms really shouldn’t be used like that. The product (gel, hybrid gel, acrylic) should be spread out the desired length or slightly longer and filled, then gently press the form and product onto the nail. It’s still faster and there’s less single use products involved.
I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I just wanted to say that I love that you experiment with different techniques for your clients, and try to find what works as best as possible for their nail types so that they get the best results they can get. And I love that your clients usually (if not always) seem to trust you and your experiments during your appointments with them. It's nice to see, and I feel like this proves even further that you're a great nail tech. :)' And their nails always look so nice! I always love the designs you do for their nail sets. No matter what method I see you use, their nails always look so neat and precise and just all-around perfect. Great work!
I love how they turned out! I would really like to be able to use nails but they give me allergies. Is there any product that does not cause allergies?
Interested to know what you’d use in my situation… I have relatively thin nails that will tear so close to the hyponychium that it hurts. They do this when they grow out longer than maybe half a centimeter past the free edge. I can’t stand having one short nail so I end up clipping all of them just to start over growing again. I have no idea what to use to help them stay strong but I love having longer nails Edit: I completely forgot to mention I have incredibly oily nail beds. I’ve never had anything last longer than maybe a week and that was salon done acrylics when I was a teen.
If you’re wanting to have long nails, I would do Gel X. And if removed properly when you are ready to take them off or re-do them, your nails will be healthy! I have natural nails that easily break and I’ve been doing gel X for close to a year now and when I take them off my real nails are long and feel strong and healthy!
Gel x is the only thing that worked for my weak and brittle nails to grow them out some. I’ve tried builder gel, I’ve tried hard gel, regular gel, you name it I’ve probably tried it and still had lifting like immediately that then only led to my nails splitting more. Gel x is the only thing that works for me.
Hi, would you mind sharing how long you take doing a regular fill? I feel like i take too long, but I just try to be meticulous and thorough with my work, so I'm curious about your timing.
I have a question! When you put that paper form on the thumb, do you have to add the base coat and “slip layer” onto the paper form as well? Thank you in advance for anyone who answers my question!! 😊💅🏼💕
I used forms & got the beetles structure gel. Ugh 😑 still don’t know what I’m doing wrong because it lifts or peels within hours. But when I used beetles (rubber base)builder in a bottle they lasted. Could it be the different formulas or me ? 😂 lol ❤
Since you have products from the same brand and the rubber base builder gel holds I would try to use that as a base layer when doing your nails with the other gel. I do this with the gel bottle brand. I use the rubber base as the first thin layer and then use the builder gel on top and it works great. If not it could be that the structure gel needs different nail prep primer. (I am not a tech but I did struggle a lot because of lifting so maybe this could help)
I just did a full set of polygel tips yesterday for a party and they’ve all but 3 popped off by today, a few while I was sleeping- and a few had the tips broken off before they did. Idk what I’m doing wrong, am I not making them thick enough? I prepare the nail by buffing and applying dehydrator and primer, then a base coat and a rubber base layer, then buff that and add the polygel…. Is there anything anyone could pinpoint or add to help me make them last longer and stronger?

It takes 5 hours for me to do my nails with them 😭 and it always turns out ugly
Do you have any tips for someone doing dual forms on themselves then? Any tips for speed/efficiency?
I absolutely LOVE these videos...so much knowledge and creativity!
I'm honestly just impressed that you have a peel pack sterilizer for your tools 😮
Best tip I got when staring out was “ learn to sculpt a nail. Everything else is training wheels.” 😉☺️

I WISH I lived near you, or found someone who does nails like you!!
Good job on the design 👏🏾👏🏾
I just did a dual form with builder gel. I love it
I LOVE THESE FOR SOME REASON
Her natural nails are beautiful ❤️
How do you know if she has an overlay that’s doesn’t show her natural nails ?

Natural nails are natural , those are overlays wether your using builder or polygel in dual forms .
The nail art came out so pretty!
Practice makes permanent. If you practice something wrong, you still learn it.

Rubber base gel then extend with builder gel

If wanting to just have natural nails, go buy some Orly Nail Strengthener.
It paints on like polish.
😊
@itakeitfromthesun what is Gel X? I thought that was hard gel lol
The texture on the frenchies is really cute ☺️

Interested in what products you used. Thank you for your video!
Chelsea!!!! Hope she’s doing good 💕
Honestly, as a nail tech, it’s probably best to stay versed in multiple mediums/enhancements that way you can service anyone & everyone! 😊
you are so talented
I love your videos but especially love your pump bottles, do you have a link for them, they look cute and very sturdy!!!
I have a question!
When you put that paper form on the thumb, do you have to add the base coat and “slip layer” onto the paper form as well? Thank you in advance for anyone who answers my question!! 😊💅🏼💕
So cute!! I love the design 😍
❤️ this!!
Please post the nail bits make.i have trouble buying the correct TIA
How do you do a fill with dual forms?
Are you just laying product in the top half of the form?
😊

Where are you located? I can’t find anyone that does Russian manicures. My eczema requires a little more care than I can find.
Are those one time drill bits? I’m always so confused watching you open a new packet of bits. Sorry I’m new lol
who is here in 2024? 💅😎
Super cute
Where are you located??!!

What are dual forms??
How much is something like that
I can't get my drill to file my cuticles lime that. What am I doing wrong? The wrong speed? I tend to go on the slow side. Thanks for any advice.
Do you sell implements
It seems like on several of her clients the side walls of the nails are too exposed. She's over filing the sides.
🔥🔥🔥
Its soo dirt collecting 🤮 i have OCD , my nails are this long but real. So I can scrub them for an hour without messing up nail polish.
I think you need to look into buying thicker rubber/free gloves your nails are cutting through them
