I bought my Aquarium Nail Tips Directly from Glam and Glits EU...I Love them soo Much!
I also found them REALLY CHEAP on Ebay Uk. The seller is starznailfashion. Just to let you nail techs know these tips ONLY work with Aqua 2o. This is a special Non-evaporating liquid. Water works, too but it evaporates quickly. oh by the way, on Ebay Uk they offer Free Worldwide Shipping. I love a Great Bargain
hello i love this vid but I have a ?.....when i stick my needle in btwn the two nails....instead of the water staying in the nail it comes out at the top....do you know why that happens? please help :_
I like your design. But I'm a bit concerned too. You technique dipping the polymer in the monomer and the way you handle your brush tells me that your not that advanced. Water and natural nails is not the most safe combination I can think of. And last but not least: It's my opinion as a professional that you can't balance the nail in a responsible way. If your customer accidentally damages her (artificial) nail, she will certainly damage her nail plate too.
can anybody tell me an internet page where you can buy these nails??????????? THEYRE SO AWESOME!!! :D:D (live in DK, europe - havent heard of them before and i kinda need an internet page not store . cuz i wont be able to go to a store :D) WOW !!!!
Uhmm just so yuh kno yuhr not supposed to use WATER it could give yuh fungus on yuhr nail nd plus since acrylic heats up sometimes the water would just evaporate ! YUh shud do yuhr reaserch bfore telling the whole world to put water in theyre acrylic nails ! #JussSaying
@sexy8489 and just maybe y-o-u should study up on proper spelling while y-o-u-r-e trying to tell the uploader about his/her techniques that you are learning for free...just a thought :)
@kimmykimmy2007 Hahaha Well that's nice of you to say but as you can see i choose to spell HOWEVER i want ! So how about you get off the fucking sack and mind your own business bitch ! ... Just a thought :) And by the way i didn't learn any techniques " for free " because i know how to do this WITHOUT giving my customers a fungal infection Thank you very much .
@bds138 Well just so you know if the water were to leak or if the acrylic is not sealed right , evidently the water would touch your "Nail plate" as you say it. I am a Nail technician and i know this technique very well ,so thanks for the attempt to correct me but i know what i am talking about(:
@sexy8489 no need to get all defensive about it. i was not trying to insult you. i am a Cosmetologist and i may not be an expert on nails (and im sure neither are you since one can never stop learning), but i do know my way around this topic well enough. and i do believe that nail plate is a correct term that can be used. otherwise, enlighten me with your knowledge as a nail technician since i, on the other hand, do not take it as an offense to be corrected.
@bds138 Haha No ones getting defensive , & I never said i was an expert but that is kind of what i do for a living so i would know(: And it is very nice that you like to be corrected especially on something you do not know about , I on the other hand will not be corrected on something that is right.
OMG!!!!!! YO CAN ACTALLY BUY THESE PRE DONE ON EBAY AND SOME WEBSITE SO ALLS YO NEED TO DO IS ILL THEM AND SEAL THEM OFF!! THERE NOT HAND MADE, THERE THE REAL THING!! IVE JUST ORDERED 200 OF THEM FOR £10!!!! theres a more expencive brand that do them called glam n glits but there £20 for 100 fo i went with the cheaper option, i think there only available in the UK though cause the ebay seller only posts to the UK and the website is a UK site to but OMFG THERE AWSOOOMMMEEEE!!! 0.0
lol that finger you pulled out was hilarious! haha it was very creepy too but it reminded me of that guy with the weird hand in scary movie 2!!! other than that cool vid and nice job
Newsflash to the general public: Working on complicated nail art/tasks and working with acrylic and files and whatnot makes your nails not look awesome and its hard to keep your nails looking perfect anyway. I bang mine up on a daily bases. Why are you people being rude when you were just taught an interesting skill for free?
where did you get the needle?? my mom says that regular people aren't supposed to own those doctor needle things...also, where did u get the clear nails and trans acrylic?
@missxtimmi i'm a nail tech and have been one for years. If you seal them in properly so it won't leak out onto your nails after they're done, you won't have a problem. Just make sure the part being applied to your nail is totally dry as it the surface of your nail plate
@missxtimmi you're more than welcome dear! I'm just starting to learn these and I'm going to set up the service to get them fitted for them, create them, and then give them 24 hours to dry so i KNOW they are totally and completely dry so no bacteria or fungus can form. A good disenfectant too for sanitizing is NAS 99 from OPI. You can spray it on any surface and its sanitized
For those interested and don't have to time to do them, I sell them either pre-designed and sealed or just plain with the top open so you can add your own design. Check out my channel for more details!!!

Alex, your video is good and you explain clearly, but it was very hard for me to concentrate seeing your chipped nails. If you find it hard to keep your hands impecable, I suggest you use a clear or very light enamel so flaws are hardly noticeable, so you give a much better impression on your potential customers. In my country, nobody would venture to have their nails done by someone with hers in such disarray.
@Marmeldu1 Wow. She just showed you how to do something extremely complicated and you're bitching about her nails? Get down off of your pedestal sweetheart. You may think you're the standard of excellence, but no one else does.
thx for sharing! most people don't share the total how to...but you did a good job! Remember all this type of nail is for those that are out going and like some flash...not for the ordinary nail person. have fun with it life is way too short to eat vanilla ice cream every time =)
Thanks for this video :) Its real helpful but looks way too time consuming for all 10 nails :p Too bad there isnt a way to do this on long natural nails :-| I recently stopped biting them and now they're all strong and finally long :-O Great job though :D
