hey! I actually got pregnant soon after this video so i've been trying to avoid using arcylics and gel nails because of the fumes :( But my baby is due April 10th so I will try and do one after he comes :D
oh the kiss nails are what i use! thay are the best. i'b been usung for about six months now. way cheaper then paying for them to be done. and they wont break. i was always at the shop fixing a broken one... but the kiss nails have saved my life... and my wallet! hehe!
I too had bad nails. I now take MSM and my nails are "hard as nails". I have to keep them filed down so I don't claw my son. Hope this helps ya'll! Love the videos, thanks!
MSM is a sulfer ( not sulfa) supplement. The body needs sulfer to regenerate itself. EVERY cell in the body can regenerate not just nails and hair, but my nails and hair grow extreamly well now. I am not a DR this is my opinion through use and results. If interested contact me for more info.
This is a really informative video thanx sooo much for doing it,,,,i have the same problem with my nails they grow and brake and it's just annoying because i do everything but just carnt get them to grow
I luv ur accent (it's 2 cute) LOL. Yeah when i was in the dollar tree the other day a seen the nail deco also. Im going back to get a couple. Luv ur videos.
CND retention+ is sooooooo good!! nothing like it... I have tiny hands and a big body LOL awesome haulage. I am planning to do my spanish acrylic tut since my sss (spanish speaking subbies) are asking me to do so.. I am just SO lazy haha GOD KNOWS I AM BEING HONEST hey that khaki orly polish looks yummy!! like the melted choc ice cream that remains on the lid of a pint of ben jerrys ... gotta go hit the freezer babe! hahaha take care sweetie! :)
I like your Video .. may be you can help me with is question , I got a few things at sally to do my daughters nails and when I try to apply the acrylic and liquid it gets hard on the nails so fast I don't have time to even spread it on the nails .. I know how to do nails I have done it for over a year on my nails and my daughters but this is a new product I got and not sure if its the liquid. do you think it could be the liquid ?
You are not in any way a "big person". Don't put yourself down!!! :) Love the video, and when you do a tutorial then I'll be able to actually know how to do that and have some nails! Can't wait!
OMG I can't believe you posted this. I have done acrylic nails at home before (I used to work as a nail tec a 100 yrs ago lol) and it has been a whlie. So I've been looking into gel nails. No one around here does them and then here you are talking about an at home gel kit YAY I can't wait.
I love that you have so much detailed info in your videos and that the things you show can easily be found. Not eveyone has a MAC pro or CCO around the corner or in a 100 miles in my case lol.
Not sure if you've tried it or not, but for my maincure customers' nail growth, I've always recommended Mavala Scientifique (nail hardener) and Mavaderma (nail growth stuff that you don't put on the nail itself, but on your finger just above your nail). I've known people to have a lot of luck with it.
dont feel bad i have really tiny nails and hands too... i have to use fake nails from this kids dress up section in walmart cuz those r the only ones that fit my nails...
i can't wait for the gel tutorial! i'm pretty good with acrylic at home but i'd rather have something a little more fool-proof! i'm also a new subscriber so thanks for the great videos!
I don't do my nails that often, but have been watching your videos for quite some time and I have to say that I learn something from them every time. My summer job has given me tons of callouses so I'm anxious to try the stuff that you say removes them! Thank you for being so down to earth and not having to go "main stream name brand" with the stuff you use.but prove to have good quality products anyway. Go you for being unique and amazing. :]
Cant wait to see the tutorial on your nails. I usually have mine done at the salon,but Im SO sick of paying the $40 every 2 weeks. Im excited to learn how to do them myself now! :)
i got one of the no light acrylic kits from sallys for under 20 dollars. it worked really well i think. =) i like the no light kits better than the powder =) i love it.
i tried those kiss everlasting nails and they were really good, the lasted me a while, to take them off is really easy and doesnt mess up your nails. you get 100% acetone, you can get that at Sally's and they dissolve right off, way better than acrylics
I want to start doing my own nails at home because my nails dont grow worth a hoot because I wear surgical gloves all day long. I am so excited to see your tutorial...I hope it will be posted soon.....
I love that your videos are long. Ppl always have to nit pick at stupid crap, just because ur video was 15mins long. omg just simply watch half then half later on. durrr lol (sorry erica but i had to help u out here)
hey Erica! nice haul! I have the same problem with my nails they are so small,but i found the Broadway Real Life nails in petite for small hands they fit perfect you should try them.
I have the same type of nails, but I can't wear acrylics because I play the guitar! :( I just use lots and lots of nail strengtheners and file off any jagged edges so they don't break.
Sorry, but it's just a lot easier for me this way and takes a lot less time. But you can always watch part and come back later. Just drag the marker across the bottom of the video to where you left off and it will load from there. I just don't have a lot of time. I have been volunteering a lot lately and having some family issues. This saves time for me. :D
SIMPLE!!!! common sence if you dont have enough time to watch the whole thing then watch half of it, then half of it another time. Gosh how hard can that be.
Thanks! I actually got that top from the family dollar! It was only 8$ and I thought it was super cute :D I haven't done a tutorial on that makeup but I can today if you would like. It's super simple and using really affordable makeup. :D
I can't wait for your acrylic tutorial. I have been doing them a while myself. They are actually really easy to do. And it is so much cheaper then getting them done. I just bought a bag of 500 hot pink nail tips for $3. I wanted something besides the white tips. What other method is easier then acrylics though? Well I can't wait!
I really want the Fort Audrey China Glaze! i think it's sooo pretty. I love the robins egg or "tiffany" blue. I'm surprised I haven't gotten it yet. Thanks for the great video!! My nails do like, the same thing! it's really easy for me to break a nail as soon as it grows
I love China Glaze and Orly.... a lot of people like OPI but as you said the first coat takes forever to dry and if you put another coat on it gets all gunky and discusting!!! I'm not a fan of OPI.
Will you be doing a tutorial on the acrylics soon? I have no nails and I don't know how to do it! :P
