If you're taking requests, would you do a video on the different ways you're gripping the file, and how you should angle the file to the nail at each stage? At this speed, I can't quite make that out.
I really wish you would narrate audio books lol. Your voice is so calming!
AgendaCompleteBliss !! haha I've been saying that on a lot of her video books... I bet she does amazing bed time stories 😄
+AgendaCompleteBliss !! Im actually starting that once my kids go back to school. It's been so highly requested that I've bought a new voiceover set up to be able to branch out into more narration and voiceover work xx
I've never been so excited about anything :)) xoxo
Natasha Lee OMG, OMG, OMG! The world NEEDS this! you could literally narrate anything and people would listen to it 😍 if you do a magical unicorn bedtime story, I'd listen to it every night lol jus sayin 😉
Unicorn Kitteh girl I would definitely buy anything she narrated lol!!!
Thank you soooooo much Natasha!!!! I needed this!!! I just put on acrylic over my shorter nails to make them match the longer ones I have cause I didn't want to cut my natural long nails to match the shorter nails. I saw your video "after" I had filed my nails. I didn't do too bad for the first time. My application was terrible and had lots of filing to do. I love how you made this video with the little picture with arrows in the upper left corner and actually see what your doing at the same time! Makes it so much easier!!! Awesome video!!! I love it! and I love you too!!!
Could you try making a video about how to use an electric nail file? And the difference bits and how to use them? ❤️
I second that!
Maria Bello I third that!
fourth!! Please and thank you
5 th here
6th that too
This is SOOOO helpful this and all of your other tutorials. I'm 15 and don't have money to get my acrylics done, so I do them myself, but as you can imagine they're not great. Thank you soooo much
I really needed this video. I have been struggling with leveling my gel without filing. I can, but there are these little things I notice and I now succumb to the fact I’ll have to file. 😀 Chasing that “line of light”. Great term. Exactly what I judge a lot of nails on. Lol.
Thank you for this video. Helped me solve my mistakes that I've been trying to eliminate for three months and saved me 10 minutes of work.
This is so helpful!!! i'm a nail student right now and this was one of my weak points!!!
Oh thank you so so much! I've started doing my own nails as I couldn't find a tech that was picky enough about the shape. This will help me achieve it consistently. Now off to practice practice practice! 😙
It took me forever to realize that the reason the finger looked weird in the thumbnail was because she was holding it with her hands with her gloves 😂😂😂😂😂
Erykah Palmer literally clicked on this vid specifically bc i wanted to know what happened to girls finger 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I AM SO RELAXED. That voice.. "squirly whirly" has never been spoken so softly.
Now I can file my nails without ruining them! Thank you!!!!!!
I’m late to the party, but I appreciate this video. I do my dip nails often at home, but I have yet to buy an e-file. I have a simple manicure drill from the drugstore that I clean the cuticle area with, but I hand file the rest. I knew most of it, but I wanted extra tips for those of us who hand file. Thanks! 💅💜
Thank you so much. I am a at home gel nails for fun. But I always have lumps and bumps and too thick nails. I am going to use this to teach myself to do better . I know the different shapes of nails but could not find one with really good basic instructions. This is it. Can’t thank you enough.
---- Yay! I was so excited to see this video pop up! 😀👍💅
HI DARLING!!! Every time I see your profile pic pop up it makes me smile xxx
Awwww, thank you! :)
Wow I can’t believe I found this! I have not found any other video that explains it this well! Thank you so much I have been struggling for so long w this!! ❤️
Awesome video and a real big help to me... it took me 5 minutes to correct my mistakes and it is looking good right now... thanks sooo much...
omg this video has helped me immensely with my filing instantly, ive been watching videos all week but this one is the best imo. thank you so much i wish i found this sooner
Natasha, beautiful nails! these look so real, unlike loads of terrible acrylic applications Iv'e looked at or watched
you need an eye for detail, to produce such lovely work! wish I could find skills like yours in my area
lovely video, and clear soothing voice, will subscribe
Thank you for the educational vids! Love them! 😉💅🏼 Such a lovely lady!
Thanks so much darling, I'm so glad that you enjoy them x
I could just listen to your voice all day 😄 I love your videos, and BTW, I've watched A LOT of [professional] nail videos on CZcams and I've NEVER heard anyone mention not using anything more than a 180 grit on "fresh" acrylic. always wonderful to learn something new. could you explain a little more as to why? maybe this is why my nails always end up lifting after a week or so?
+Unicorn Kitteh hi and thank you for your lovely comment. It's actually because it can take up to 36 hours for "freshly applied" acrylic to fully set. Using a file more abrasive than a 180, or tapping your nails on a desk etc within that time frame can cause microscopic cracks and weaknesses that can cause a service breakdown i.e. The nails might break or lift. Each brand of acrylic (or the official name liquid and powder) differs in its full set time, some it might be 8 hours after applying, some it might be 36 hours. I used to be an educator for CND and they have excellent training and research. It's just sometimes I forget to mention some of the little nuggets of info as I stepped down a couple of years ago. Hope that helps xxxx
Natasha Lee thank you for that wonderful "nugget" of knowledge! I can't afford schooling right now, but it's a long term goal of mine once my other student loans are paid down. for now I rely on youtube and the internet. but I will def have to keep that in mind with filing as there are a couple areas I seem to struggle with, the main one being the length of time I get quality product. I always get lifting and I've tried everything! even tried all new products (brush, primer, powder & monomer) I will have to try this! thank you!
Natasha Lee YOU are so encouraging and inspiring to my process Ive been doing nails for 17yrs and I am totally speechless and Im Thankful for you
Best nail video ever !!! Gr8 explanation and detailed enough to teach amateurs like me who do this as a hobby ! Thank u
I so needed this ..just started my own extensions in Oct.. still deciding in best shape for me... thank you !!💜💖💜💖
thank you so much for this video. it was the most helpful of all the one ive watched. as a beginner it was taking me so much time filing my nails, your video has cut my filing time down by quite a bit. thank you again
Thank you Natasha. 💖💖💖
You're AMAZING! I wish more nail techs would make filing videos!
thanks for the amazing filing tutorial
I absolutely love the names you've given each technique and thanks
Yassss 😀 Amazing tips! I can't do acrylics but I will watch any video you put out 😘 xx
i've recently started doing my own gel nails and this video is exactly what i needed. thanks!
That is the best video **how to hand file** ever
Thankyou so much Natasha! This tutorial is fantastic, perfect camera angle x
Excellent! Thank you so much.
Wreszcie filmik gdzie wszystko jest prosto objasnione, super
I saw this before I got the notification. Yay
Yayyyyyy!!!! xxxx
Natasha Lee I love your energy in this comment
I love this very helpful but I would love one similar but of the whole process when doing your own because we all know its a lot harder and different on yourself technique wise
I’ve been watching a lot of videos on this subject matter. None of it made any sense.... until I watch this. Thank you 🙏🏻
I plan to start practicing acrylics soon and your videos are really helpful.
Hi Natasha. I'm a big fan, and I love this video and follow it to the T. I'm just learning and would love to see you do a filing video on your own have including your non-dominant hand to see tips and tricks. Thank you.
The "line of light" tip is really helpful. Thanks. ✌️
+Nancy W no problem Nancy, so glad that it helped you xx
Natasha, I have one pet peeve about getting my acrylic nails done. I have a very hard time communicating the parallel lines that I want not just on the sides of my nails from the top view, but also when you look at the nail from the side view. Why is it every single nail tech wants to file my nails upward towards the middle of the top end of the nail when filing on the sides? It makes my nails look more almond-shaped along the sides. I feel like I can not even communicate here what I am talking about unless I can draw a picture, or make my own video. (I am not a nail tech). I prefer my nails very square, and I want the sides straight and parallel. Not just straight from the top view, but also when you look at my nails from the sides. I want it to look like my nails are coming straight out of the nail bed, not growing up and in towards the middle of the end of my nail. I would really like a video from someone that understands my frustration. I may need to email you photos of what I would like them to look like, and what my nails end up looking like so that you can teach me the correct lingo when communicating how I want the final product to look like.
great video thank you - its so nice to hear a nice calm English voice!
I love your videos, they are so informative. I like the fact that you explain things properly 👏
Natasha Lee your my absolute nail idol. You know this as I tell u all the time lol xxxx
i love your videos.You are the best
Your videos are always so helpful. Thank you as always for sharing your "secrets". Much love to you and yours :-)
Thank you Amanda, I always try to share my best tips to avoid others having to make the mistakes that I have xxx
Natasha, your voice is so seductive. it's beautiful. Your up there with the voice of the Marks and Spencer lady, you know the one who seduces us into buying the food.
I love your videos
I'm going to college in September to become a nail tech, I can't wait. I love watching your videos for inspiration. So thanks for that x
Just wanted to say thank you!
That is the best filing video I’ve seen, you’ve explained it great, thank you 😁😁😁
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Great video! Wow! ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Thanks for sharing this video's ! I learning very mutch from this video's !
Great tips Natasha. Thanks for sharing! Xx
thank you for the helpful videos!!
THANK YOU!!
Hi Natasha! Thank you for making this video! Super informative. I need to do a rebalance and infill on my gells today so I am going to give this technique a try! If you get a chance, could you do a similar video but with an e file?
I like that brush you're using. What kind of brush is it? I don't see it in the description box
Such a helpful video! Do you have any tips on how to get your nail shape even on all of the nails?
I love you!!!! Very informative and very detailed
Your nails in my opinion are the perfect nails!!! I adore them. I have a question... the corners of my nail grow downwards (I can't explain) and I don't know weather to file underneath the nail to straighten the edges or to file the nail as normal? Xxx
I think I mean curved they grow curved xx
Thats called the lower arch and should be straight. Thats a step that is she is not showing in the clip unfortunatly.
Turn your hand a quarter so you can see the side of the nail. Put your file straight against the lower arch and file a straight line.
bubbelientje ... I think I get what u mean... it's the edge of oh sides of my nail that curve under, I should make them straight? Will that make my nails shorter or a weird shape? Xx
Sarah Caplan to bad i cant show you a pucture haha. If you file your lower arch it wil not make the nail shorter. It gives is a slimmer look.
This is so helpfull!! Thanks for sharing :D
Just happen to see this and watch it. You're very informative and seem very nice. Just subbed 😁
Thanks sweetie for sharing this useful tutorial ☺️
new subscriber , love to see a video using a E file😎. This video was so helpful.
Thank you!
Superb! Thanks a lot, very informative.
You are so inspiring
Such a PLEASURE...Thank you🏅🏆🏅👸🏼💅🏽👩🏽🎓
So glad that you enjoyed it ♥️
😃 this was very very helpful thank you 💅🏼👌🏼
Wonderful tutorial 😍😍😘 tfs
What type of gloves do you use? Did it take you time to be able to feel the nail as you're working on it with gloves? I still work with my bare hands because I feel so awkward with gloves on. Plus I don't know that I'm truly feeling the smoothness, or lack of, with gloves. Any advice? 💜💅
Love watching you. Was wondering if you have used or tried the odorless moninor if so could you please do a vid as I have been trained 10 years but switch to gel due to working from home and have an asthmatic 4 year old. But would love to do 3d with the acrylic. Any advise or help please. I love your vid on polygel. Many thanks.
Great video as always 😘 Can I ask what your ratio's are for the alcohol & acetone used to cleanse? Thanks x
I love your nails so much.:)
Perfect shape nail !
Thank you! 💅🏼
Great explanation
the salons I use to go to were so rough with my fingers, it would hurt my actual nail. or the would roughly file my skin, or put acrylic on my skin...it hurts when separating it. I no longer go there.
I've missed this channel, been away for a few weeks
Can one put gelish on top of overfilled nails?
I luv ur channel 💅
Thank you Gabriela xx
cool
Thanks Nappi xxx
When you cleanse the nails using alcohol and acetone, doesn't the acetone dissolve the acrylic just a bit? Do you use acetone to create a super smooth surface?
Bonni Hall you don't cleanse acrylic. Acetone eats away acrylic.
Thx😍
someone please help!!!! whenever i file and try to file straight one side/edge of nail always turns out rounded when im trying to do tapered square/coffin
Although I'm not a professional, and I don't even wear acrylics, I'm loving this video series. I must admit I wish you'd changed those dirty gloves, just for the video's sake!!!
Natasha, you should do zipper nail art. That would be amazing. But it's just an idea......
Nail techs in Australia are so useless. Every nail salon I go to, I don't complain, I just point out a flaw or a slight mistake and they get so defensive and angry.. and start talking in Vietnamese to one another, they're rude & unprofessional and hate suggestions. Like, I'm paying for these nails I can tell you how I want them to look and if I think something isn't right. I wishhh I could find someone like you here in Aus. I wouldn't care about price as long as it was done properly. They can't even do a simple effing pattern on the nails without it looking like my 5 year old niece drew it on. Ugh & I love nails and nail art so much, just hate not ever being pleased with them
amela xo same here in the U.S. along the southern Gulf Coast. It's the only reason why I want to do it myself
Amela Hamidovic I live in Australia and agree with you as well.
Same here in Columbus, Ohio USA. Me saying “I want the sides really straight”. Them filing the sides in!
Watching this because I just did me some gel nails and the shape is allover the place lol
what if you get clumps under neath
why my gel extensions have cracks at ends of smile line( where forms are fitted) after i finish file? tfs
Does the acrylic you use has a strong odor and could you recommend a brand that has low odor please?
kym kiswe it's the monomer that is odorous, not so much the acrylic.
I wish u would have shown the c curve thickness after you adjusted it, or a better angle to show how thick the nail is where. Hard to tell in a top-down perspective.
Can.. Can you just like read the dictionary? Is that a thing I can request? Kidding! But I always forget how lovely your voice and accent are until I watch another video. Lol
+Joshua Creel haha love this, thanks Joshua xxxx
Ok that black glove is grossing me out. Lol
like it but complicated
What kinda gloves do you use?!
I use nitrile gloves I pick up on amazon, the same as tattooists. They have a slight texture on the fingertips which helps when working.
Thanks so much!
I hate filing but next time i'll think about ur tutorial and it will be a much easier task
come to greece and do my nails!!!!
My nail cuticles are wide and spreaded like rectangle
New subbie 😎😊
