Hi SICKESTNAILS!

I wanted 2 know....whats best for the aquarium nails, water or baby oil, and do the baby oil evaporates from the nails? And by the way.....LOVE UR CHANNEL!!!

[rosae801]

I have a question, once the nail grows out that it's time for the fill n I want another design different of what I have, my question is do I take of the whole nail and if I do, What's the easiest way to take off??? Or what do I do if it's not a take off???

[SickestNails]

@rosae801

if you wanna do another design check out my video that says "Acrylic Nail Design-Colorful Zebra Nails" It shows how I change one of my designs hope it helps and if you wanna remove your acrylic nails what U want to do is cut the tips file down about 70 to 80% of acrylic and than wrap the top of the finder with some foil paper using cotton balls soaked in acetone place them on top of the nail and wrap it with foil paper let them sit for 30 to 45 min and remove with a cuticle pusher =)

[Mslizziebooboo]

What part of Mexico do you buy your products from? I heard it is cheaper to get them in mex. Thank You!

[SickestNails]

@bklkak

yeah it is I get them from Guadalajara Jalisco when ever I visit but you can find some stuff also in tijuana but they are a little more expensive hope it helps =)

[TheNailsNstuff]

what did you think about the CND-products?:)

[SickestNails]

@TheNailsNstuff

Well for me personally I thought It was ok not bad but I started to notice that when applying the clear it would form alot of air bubbles even after dipping the brush into the liquid and losing the air bubbles Maybe it was just mine lol but I started with the entity and not once did I see any air bubbles forming with that line hope this helps =)

[Nini1473]

Thanks for your help....one last question have you ever done your nails outside?

[SickestNails]

@Nini1473

Your Welcome Anytime =) yes I Have Before ;)

[Nini1473]

Im a beginner and well i bought the kiss nail kit to try and the smell of the acrylic is very strong i open windows and turn on the fan but the smell stays for a bit any ideas on how to not let that happen or how to stop the smell?

[SickestNails]

@Nini1473

Well ive gotten so used to the smell it dont bother me anymore but thats pretty much what I do Open Up the windows and it goes away if you can try doing it close to the door and spraying some febreez that will help you should try some oderless acrylic liquid im sure you will find some online or in your local beauty store hope it helps =)

[samlovesnails]

for those who have asked you where they can find organic products this is where i have bought mine. on ebay if you type organic nails

[2smileyy]

heyyy i wanted to know when to use clear acrylic powder and when to use pink acrylic? is there a difference?

[SickestNails]

@2smileyy

well the clear acrylic can be used for the whole nail to encapsulate it and the pink is just for the nail bed your natural nail its just something extra to give it a pretty look hope it helps =)

[2smileyy]

i just found all of your creative ideas today and i fell in love with them.

they are soo beautiful:)

ive been wanting to learn how to do acrylic nails for the longest.

and ive been trying to look for the material in stores but ive had very bad luck.

so i was hoping to buy it on ebay since you but a lot of your material on ebay and i was wondering if you can pay stuff on ebay with a pre-paid card, since i dint have a credit card.???

[SickestNails]

@2smileyy

Hi

Would like to say your videos are amazing and very helpful, so a Big Thank you! I am a Beauty Therapist, but not qualified in Nail Art, or Acrylic nails, although I have done a few sets and am wanting to learn more.

I would like to ask what is the tool called that you use to place the beads in the centre of the 3d flower as I need to purchase one.

Thanks Again

[SickestNails]

@clarabrooke1

thank you so much i appreciate it

your very welcome yeah ok is it something that i used in one of my videos

[clarabrooke1]

@SickestNails

Hi yes it was in one of your videos but I am not sure which one now as I have watched alot of them, I have just ordered a spotting tool, but I need the tool that easily picks up them little beads and bits for the nail art to place them accurately and easily on to the nail. I just want the correct name so I can type it in an ebay it, and watch more of your videos and get practicing. Many Thanks

[SickestNails]

@clarabrooke1

oh ok let me think well the only things that i have used to pick up my beads and decorations is the "dotting tool" and sometimes some tweezers and the rhinestones i pick up with a crayon but i think u where looking for the "Dotting Tool" hope that helps =)

LOL Love it!!! Hope it helps YOU as much as it does your viewers. Just saved it for myself. Thanks! X O

[SickestNails]

@GettingNailed

haha thank you i appreciate it

[UnderTheLilyShadow]

i got a solution for not damaging the finished nail while taking it off.

you got to NOT file the practice finger, so the surface is still shiny. and NOT use a tip, but extend it with a nail form. that way when your nail is finished, you can pop it right off without breaking it :)

[SickestNails]

@UnderTheLilyShadow

THANKS FOR THE TIP =)
