I love all your creations on the nails, they are beautiful! so I ordered all the products needed to do acrylic nails, the Naio Nails are wonderful, very easy to apply I loved it! continue the excellent work that you have done so far, good luck
Wow! Such a difference from the nail bar we have in our town. They file natural nail with electric drill, don't use the pinching thingy so the nails always look too wide and file off cuticles with the electric drill. The whole thing is a rush production line, only white tips glued on then clear acrylic over the top. One visit put me off . Seeing you work this way has opened my eyes your client doesn't look like they are being burned or hurt! No bleeding cuticles! If I ever give acrylics another
I was getting my nails done for over 20 yrs & have never seen that tool that you used to make the nail fit the hand. Because of the products that I think that were inferior or cheaply used, I've taken my nails off because I refuse to pay money anymore & not be happy with the service. You're Wonderful! You're a true PROFESSIONAL!
Is it vital to use that powder stuff you put on with the brush, and what does it do? Also, is there an easier thing you could use instead that I could ind at home? -btw I never done this before XD
I really enjoyed this video but I think it would have been even better if you had been able to not have all the background noise, eliminate the direct natural light behind you and focus the camera more on what you are doing to the nail..when you are saying it. Thank you for the post!
U R the best! It looked so simple and quick. You taught me something new. Do they sell the nail squisher at a local beauty supplu store?, i've never heard of this before.
brilliant video, what ratio would you recommend for gliiter? I would like to do a glitter fade using about 2 glitters and I'm not to sure what ratio of the acrylic powder to glitter I should use thanks
This is so good! I do a really pretty acrylic nail but they will not stay on. Everytime I have lifting. I am prepping the nail very well and using a dehydrator. Could it be the brand I am using?
It is difficult to say why you are having lifting problems without seeing the nails. It can be caused by many factors, inferior products, contaminants on the nail, oils being transferred to the client's nails from your hands, applying on un-removered cuticle that is still attached to the natural nail. If your pretty certain that you've got the prep right, try using nail primer and or using an acrylic liquid which already has the primer in it like our Max adhesion liquid.
@naiouk I just wanna say you are an absolutely amazing manicurist firstly, and secondly I got my license just last year and am noticing different techniques to acrylics than I learned in school and working in a salon. It is so much fun and so inspiring to watch each person's style.
11:50, my fave nail in the spiky one (the ring finger) I don't like the spike but I like the colors and the design on it. To me, it looks like a magical paradise, hehe :)
Hi I was wondering if you had a recommendation for a nail drill for less than 100 dollars? There is alot of them on Amazon for 100 or less, I need one easy to use, and works well, I am trying to learn to do acrylic nails and hopefully start a business in my little town lol, thank you so much, I love your nails by the way! And your video really explains alot :) Oh and if you have any other recommendations of things I should get to start out, I would appreciate the advice :) Thank you!
p.s. You are truly talented to be able to work with those long and pointed nails. If I had those nails(and was a woman) and did a client it would probably look like a murder scene afterwards. :oO thanks the videos!
awesome info! Been doing acrylics for 12 years and I still learned quite a bit from watching this video. I guess I just got too busy DOING nails instead of continuing to learn. This happens a lot when you work in a salon where they favor speed over quality. What kind of brush are you using or recommend for pink and whites/general acrylics? I've been using 16,18 flat brushes a long while now and was thinking of trying something new.
Thanks sooooo much wonderful, educational no unnecessary chat very straight forward, fantastic. And by the way U had a lovely make up suited U very much xox
This video is amazing and your explanations are truly helpful!! I have also checked your web site and i am impressed by your professionality..I didn't even know there were diffrent kinds of liquids but you have listed 6 !! I will follow you and i will look forward for more videos..You are sweet and the best :o))
I HATE getting my nails done. I always end up bleeding, burnt, and/or sore. Wish you were here... I'd love to sit for you to do my nails. Excellent job. :0)
@MGreen321 Hi, Sorry we are trying to start shipping to the US if you subscribe to the emails on our website we will notify you as soon as it is possible.
can you use these well less tips on really short bitten nails? i never use white tips as i always think sculptured look nicer but i struggle to put a form on really short nails, ive tried doing the reverse method where i put pink masque on first to lenghten the nail bed then the white but still cant seem to get them right.
I love doing my own acrylic nails and your videos have helped me so much!!! I have pretty bad arthritis in my hands, and doing my nails hurts a lot. Are there any tips or tricks to holding the brush or nail file to avoid stress on my hands??? any information would be greatly appreciated!!
I've been watching nail tutorials for over a year and I have to say this is the most detailed one I've ever watched! You are so pretty and amazing. I don't do acrylic nails myself but I love to watch the process. Keep on posting videos! Definitely sub <3
Hey Gemma! I love what you do!! I have a few questions...what products did you use in this video including the brush and where can I get them! I use NSI products at the moment and I am not all that happy with them! Also, do you offer courses? I want to do some refresher courses as well as advanced! I am down in Dover but would be willing to come to Doncaster! You came down not long ago and did a class with Vicky at Kent School Of Beauty. She is who I learned from. Thanks Gemma! xx
I loved the video. I like the way she explained everything step by step, it was very clearly and the nails came out BEAUTIFUL!!! :-) .......VERY PROFESSIONAL....I would definitely recommend beginners to watch this video.
When doing pink and whites. Does the color of the monomer make a difference? The product that I was using is a dark lavender color and I've noticed that it is much harder to get the right color consistency.
I enjoyed your video greatly - I would love to learn to do my own acrylic nails - wish you were in the US ! Wish more girls around here would learn to do nails like you - most I have found are to heavy on the acrylic and are flat ... thus I am stuck with my natural nails ... at least I can do those and nail art ... take care and look forward to watching more of your videos
Useful tutorial. As a beginner, who needs to see as much as possible, it would be really helpful if the focus is on the nails whilst the tutorial is voiced over. It just felt like I missed some useful manipulation techniques when it panned back to your face. Thanks very much for the vid however.
U are such a good teacher, covering the various points in clear, plain english. Thank you very much for your helpful tips, advice and clear explanations :)
Thank you so much for your vid's!! As a newbie tech it really helps me a lot (as far as layin' the nail), I can see the mistakes I make so thank you for sharing!!! It'll help me get better!! :) & ps.. sure is noisy in there. Haha. Sounds like your in the middle of a cafeteria. Hahah
@susany2k5 oh ok well what i mean is if we pulled the pink over the white you can end up with pink shadows on the white instead of crisp white smile lines. hope this helps xx
