Question, I bought everything including the same lamp you're featuring. I need to know if I can use nail tips? I don't have any nails so i'm wondering if I apply the tips, can I then continue with the process as if they're my natural nails. I have an electric file which I will use to blend the nail tip with my natural nail, then cut them short with the nail tip cutter.
I have the same lamp as you got it from Amazon for a great price I was just watching to compare/get ideas and i will have to buy some wipes, they look like they would be great for nail art too, no cotton lint! I stamped over my nails with konad and ordinary seche vite top coat to seal nail art.
does gel nail polish last longer on natural nail or regular nail polish last longer??? i wait to do my hand but the nail polish doesn't last an day cuz i do alots of cook/touch water most of the time... any 1 know help share..
@sonjalfoster lots of people said its not very good, I had one and I hated how you couldn't do all 5 fingers at once I had it for other reasons though so I can't tell u if it cures though Gelish says it works the same amount of time as a UV lamp
Great tutorial! Thank you so much for posting. I will definitely get the lint free pads before I do the next application. Your website is very nice too! Lots of great info.
TY!!! I had just applied nail gel for the 1st time following all steps with constant tackiness. Now I understand why. Kept reapplying lights to remove tackiness and realize wasn't necessary. I've heard removal gel can be difficult. Any suggestions?
@jessknepper Hahahah, I was just about to make the exact same comment! It's horrible to hear how she repeat nailbed when she's actually talking about the nailplate, and nailtip when she's referring to the free-edge. Funny enough the "teacher" also forgot to wipe off the tacky residue with a dry/lintfree nailwipe after curing the foundation gel. What a teacher!
@SnuggleSmurf Stop hating! She is taking time out to show this tutorial to us, if you don't like it! Keep on moving! If you have NOTHING Nice to say DON'T Say it all ALL!
Calm down, I don't have anything negative to say about her using her time to make tutorials! But it's just a fact that she obviously can't be a teacher when she use a variety of wrong terms in her videos, she shouldn't try to teach others about things that she don't even have a clue about herself!
Between step 4 and 5 you did n t remove exess of foundation with a clean brush? That s how i learned, will they last if you do it this way? I use a clean soft brush and after putting them in uv to cure foundation i remove sort of exess cured foundation. If you watch the Nail and Harmony Gelish vid you will have a clue what i'm saying. Anyway love your work =)
thanks for showing this video. i have a question can u be able to do this with a 9 watt uv lamp.. i saw this at sallys and they had this little paper for u to take home and it also say it could be done with a 9-watt uv lamp or and LED lamp? thanks
I can't seem to get the c oats to cure. I buff my natural nail, clean with alcohol, apply avery thin coat of foundation gel, put my hands into a36w UV lamp for 120 seconds. Nut, for some reason the polish isn't curing. It still doesn't cure when i do it for an additional 120 seconds. What am I missing here????
As soon as I saw you buffing the nail I'm out. Shellac at least doesn't require you to do this. How does this affect your nails after several manicures? Not good.
you put the base coat right over the alcohol??

Great video can you use regular polish when you are done? How do they hold up in water or hard use? What about dog washing? Thank you

@SnuggleSmurf She was probably just trying to use language that everyone could understand. After all this video is for non-professionals.

@Mrsdarkness2011 No, you'll need a 36 watt UV lamp, which means that it has to have 4x 9 watt bulbs.

@TaraAnnRad I had the same problem. Use rubbing alcohol or cleaner after all steps completed. Tackiness will be gone!
