I starting to learn how to do this to my own,, and my friends nails,, this video was really helpful.... is there anything I need to watch out for,, or anything else I need to know?:) Thanks soo Much
I bought all the items from Ebay and Sally's but I did not do my nails yet bc I'm still praticing on the pratice finger. I purchased gels too! My drill and lamp does the same thing. I'm glad it's not just my items acting crazy. Thanks for the great video!
this is such a good video, you have alot of good products real professional set up. Sallys is what I had missed so much being out of the US and beauty services are too expensive. thank you so much.
I always do my nails at a nail salon but it cost a lot here in the netherlands. I think i can do it self
at home so my question is; Could you make a list of al the products you used,i don't care if it's expensive, just if it is from good kwality? If you think other products are better please let me know?
Anyways thank you so much for explaning everything so good
@MissShery27 Like to soak them off, no way!!!!!!! You really don't want your fingers exposed to the monomer for too long, acrylic can cause the most damage when it is in the wet phase. You can use 100% acetone to soak off.
Love this video! We dont have a sallys around here (it went out of business, like everything), but I looked up that sally nail primer on ebay. It was over 10 dollars, other stuff is like 2 dollars. Does it make a difference? Would you say it's worth 10? Also, when you do your own nails like this, how long do they last? The reason I was willing to pay so much to have mine does is because they last so long..but im cheap and want to teach myself how to do them ^_^
@mydeadsea They last just as long if you apply them correctly. Any good primer is going to cost between $5 to $15. There are many, many, many out there. The No Lifts Nail primer is just one of them. Any primer should help with lifting, that's what a primer is for.
I do my own nails at home too. It's something I just recently started and really like. I noticed you mentioned about the primer and the nail lifting. I just did my nails about 5 days ago and the arcrylic is lifting already. It is because of the primer?? help!! lol
@downDyerRoad That could be for any number of reasons, but the primer is an important part to keep the nails from lifting!! Try using one next time, if you hadn't.
This video was very helpful... but I have one question... when you do the acrylic do I do it on my whole nail and is there certain nails that you have found that work best for you, how do you make the nails so thick looking?
Yo no acostumbro a usar tips porque se me hace mas dificil que las esculturales, siempre batallo con el tamaño de los tips y me quedan chuecos, pero tu lo haces ver muy facil y tu explicacion es muy buena, siempre se aprende algo nuevo!
Hi. Thanks for this video. This might seem like a silly question but , how do you protect your freshly done manicure from the regular cleaning, dishwashing, bathroom cleaning etc? I like manicures but i usually mess them up so quickly, it then seems like i wasted my money.what are your tips or anyone who reads this. thanks.
so this video was awesome but just a question after I do my nails at home they seem to lift after a day or 2 and they just pop off whats the best solution to keep it on longer?
@mixedbabyy1 I've heard people say that, it's never happened to me. I would say to make sure that you buff the nail to make it ready to have the acrylic placed on it, dehydrate with a nail dehydrator (or use alcohol), and use a primer! That should do it! I hope that helps. The primer is what helps the acrylic adhere to your nail.
@vianneylu1 thanks! I actually just went out and bought the same dehydrator that you used in the video so I'm giving it another shot one girl at sallys said sometimes I might just have too much oil on my fingers
I absoulely love how humble you are, you arent on here going "my ways the best", humble people are the ones who get the most postive response, even if it takes time.
@amandaejohnson It sounds like you are getting it too wet, the acrylic isn't the best quality, or the brush is getting gummy and won't apply the acrylic nicely. Try getting a drier ball, and wiping your brush off after applying each bead of acrylic. I hope that helps.
Thank you for posting up this video! I am learning how to do my own acrylics and your video is thorough & so clear! Just what I need. Unfortunately, we don't have a 'Sallys' store here in NZ, but I did find a beauty supply store and I can't wait for my order to come in! I will be watching your video as I start learning! Thank you again! :-)
@beautyheart571500 That's awesome! I think the Beauty Secrets brushes run $12-$18. My SIL is a nail tech, and she says if you're good, you can get any brush to work!! (:
I love all your videos i have seen every single one of then and your the reason why i decided to try and become a nail technician on my own lol i already ordered my things on ebay and went to sallys. Your so helpfull
Wow thanks so much for the great info! I stumbled across your how to video this weekend, and was so excited to try it myself that I placed my first EBay supply order this morning! Keep the product reviews coming!!
nice tips. but there is some techniques that you did wrong like on how you apply the acrylic to the nail. You never brush it, you pat it down that way it prevents bubbles forming. (I am a Cosmetologist) if you were wondering
@Crazycali1 Thank you! I've been thinking about re-doing this video with a few more tips that I've learned along the way, but haven't!! Thanks, again!
oh my goodness! so glad I subscribed to u!! i've been looking for this vid for months! if u watch my "nail supply n review" videos I mentioned "a girl that did blue tips n they were so pretty on her I had to get them for myself" lol ur that girl! u r 1 of the main reasons I started doing nails and def the main reason I put in my first supply order! this video was helpful beyond words! Thank u so much hun!! XoxoxoxoX
Vianney, I am a professional and i have learned things from you. You do an awesome job with no training and don't let any one say you don't. Professionals don't want people to learn how to do there own because they might lose business. You keep doing the great job you have been doing.
I watched this video at least 3 times while i did my own for the 1st time. Thank you so very much. My nails did come out nice!! I'm still practicing, but wow.. Loved your vid!! I will subscribe and look forward to your next vids on how to design. <3
I tried to do my nails at home and they came out looking scary....in a bad way...and then I had a really fun time trying to take them off...I gave up trying to do my acrylic nails at home..:(
im barly getting into nails (im 10) and i want to get into acrylics and my mom let me so this helped very much and i get my stuff from maytheps do u still order stuff from there?
do you cure the acrylic? cause I'm doing gel nail, I would like to try with acrylic! does acrylic soak off like soak off gel? thanks for your answer, your video is great!
@vianneylu1 i work at @ sally, i had to go back to the 1st store i worked at just to get whatever i can because they still had them. the one im at right now was a new store then so they never had carried them.
you said you baught that nail drill from ebay i've been looking on ebay to buy it but the results show me the pink one, what exact seller is the one that sells the good nail drill not the pink one?
@roccamocca91 Sorry, I bought it like 6 years ago, and don't have that info. They do sell abetter drill on eBay than that pink one, just search for manicure drill.
@bravebird1908 The "full tip" is like a Lee press-on nail (it covers the whole nail bed), and the "french tips" are just the tip, and you cover it with your acrylic like I did in this video.
@Millie3030 No, some primers are "acidless" and a lot of people are trending toward those. Honestly, no primer has ever stung my cuticles, but I still apply if very carefully to avoid the cuticles. What it is, is that you can develop an allergy to it, and then can never use it again. That's the main reason to keep away from the cuticles.
I was able to get the same primer at Sally's , I was using a primer when they popped off but I think the brand may not have been that great, so we'll see :)
@welshcar Great, I love it. Make sure to remove the shine from your nails, apply two coats of primer, and make sure to pat on your acrylic very well. Maybe you had a very light hand and it was just sitting on top as opposed to creating a real bond with the nail.
Awesome tutorial, I keep having problems with my acrylic nails took them off yesterday because the entire thing keeps popping off, going to go to sallys today and buy some of the products you have maybe that will help :)
Thank you for taking time to actually show the steps, many people do it in a ten minute video with outmuch detail. when it was time for me to try I didnt understand as to why it took so long to get done..
@vianneylu1 thanks i was wondering why the acrylic would keep clumping up in the brushes , thanks for the tip. looks like i should invest in a good brush.
Heeey this was helpful thankks. i've seen your videos before and as i was going threw your videos i noticed i've watched quite a few so i dont know why i've never subscribed to you before but happy i am now.
ya, it definitly takes time. When I first started it would take me all day, no joke, now I'm at about 2 to 3 hours. Most of the time spent on my right hand since I'm right handed. Practice, practice, practice...... Oh and I have the pink drill, and I've never had that problem, hmmm.
@classytips27 How funny, I hear about 50/50 that either the drill is wonderful or junk! My better variable speed drill is awesome, and I can push as hard as I need to on it to file down my nails. That pink one stops if I put any kind of pressure, it will work, it just takes all day! Thanks!! (:
i would like to thank you for this video. because of i was able to do my sisters nails. and they look great i love the way you explain all of your steps. once again thank you :-)
If I don't use a gel light or anything gel related besides the gel top coat, will it do anything? Like, I want to just do acrylic nails not the gel part (cause I never really understood it nor have the materials) but I want to get the gel top coat, if that makes any sense.
@sweetnibblets0x Yes, there are lots of gel top coats, and you can use them with acrylic nails. If it is a "UV Gel" then you need to cure it with a lamp. If it's a gel top coat, then you don't need the lamp. Read the package directions, and then you'll know what's required.
@thefirstprettylady I'm a talker, and my viewers' comments are usually appreciative of the info that I give. I hate watching tutorials where the info is just not there, so I go overboard!! (:
Thank you so much for this video! I always am a fan of DIY and loved your video it has been one of the best by far i have seen. I do have a questions tho. What products did you use? Where did you get them from?
I starting to learn how to do this to my own,, and my friends nails,, this video was really helpful.... is there anything I need to watch out for,, or anything else I need to know?:) Thanks soo Much

I was able to get the same primer at Sally's , I was using a primer when they popped off but I think the brand may not have been that great, so we'll see :)
welshcar 2 months ago
@welshcar Great, I love it. Make sure to remove the shine from your nails, apply two coats of primer, and make sure to pat on your acrylic very well. Maybe you had a very light hand and it was just sitting on top as opposed to creating a real bond with the nail.

Awesome tutorial, I keep having problems with my acrylic nails took them off yesterday because the entire thing keeps popping off, going to go to sallys today and buy some of the products you have maybe that will help :)
welshcar 2 months ago
@welshcar Definitely use primer, I've never had a whole nail pop off. Try a primer, I hope that helps.

what kind of brush did you say ?
OxAniitaxO 2 months ago
@OxAniitaxO I think I used a 12 in this video, but I like 8 ovals.
vianneylu1 2 months ago
@vianneylu1 oh no what kinda of brush hair or whats the brush called?
OxAniitaxO 2 months ago
@OxAniitaxO I'm sorry, you want to use a pure sable brush (Kolinsky is the best). Brushes made from synthetic bristles can melt or clump up.
vianneylu1 2 months ago
@vianneylu1 thanks i was wondering why the acrylic would keep clumping up in the brushes , thanks for the tip. looks like i should invest in a good brush.
OxAniitaxO 2 months ago
Heeey this was helpful thankks. i've seen your videos before and as i was going threw your videos i noticed i've watched quite a few so i dont know why i've never subscribed to you before but happy i am now.
OxAniitaxO 2 months ago
@OxAniitaxO LOL! That happens!!
vianneylu1 2 months ago
ya, it definitly takes time. When I first started it would take me all day, no joke, now I'm at about 2 to 3 hours. Most of the time spent on my right hand since I'm right handed. Practice, practice, practice...... Oh and I have the pink drill, and I've never had that problem, hmmm.
classytips27 2 months ago
@classytips27 How funny, I hear about 50/50 that either the drill is wonderful or junk! My better variable speed drill is awesome, and I can push as hard as I need to on it to file down my nails. That pink one stops if I put any kind of pressure, it will work, it just takes all day! Thanks!! (:

If I don't use a gel light or anything gel related besides the gel top coat, will it do anything? Like, I want to just do acrylic nails not the gel part (cause I never really understood it nor have the materials) but I want to get the gel top coat, if that makes any sense.
sweetnibblets0x 3 months ago
@sweetnibblets0x Yes, there are lots of gel top coats, and you can use them with acrylic nails. If it is a "UV Gel" then you need to cure it with a lamp. If it's a gel top coat, then you don't need the lamp. Read the package directions, and then you'll know what's required.

One tip - dont use glue that you get when you order tips from ebay. that glue is worthless! buy glue from NSI/ezflow. they're really the best! =)
