  • hey girl ok i have a question have u ever tried working with other brand of nails like the ones on ebay? if so how did u like em??

  • @FINESTNAILZ no i never have

  • I have a question about my acrylic monomer! Why did it turn into a syrupy consistency??

  • @MyPrincessNailz hmm well is it just the liquid thats like that or when u mix it with powder?

  • Hey Lysa, I was just checking out your prep vid, I noticed that you did not push the cuticle back. Do your clients ever have issues with lifting? Or does the drill take the cuticle off?

  • @GlitzNGlamNailz the drill takes it off for me, every client is different depending on how hard they are with their hands and what they do, i have some clients that come 3-4 weeks in between and their nails dont budge...

see all

  • Hi. Can I ask what type/brand natural nail tips do you use? glue? 

    Thanks. :o)

  • @lysa209 omg i love how u prep ur nails with the drill cus if i do it by hand i always get lifting but if i prep the nail with the drill my clients come back like a 2 months later with all thier nails on lol but thanks for this great video and ya i know i wrote back to u when u posted this comment a year ago lol but i just found it lol thanks again :P

  • why did you have a to file ur nails again when u finish gluing the nails??? sorry i have to ask because i'm doing my nails and i'm not a professional....so i need to look it up. thanks. :D

  • @mrswood1514 I was told the same in nail school but almost every salon I've been in uses the drill to file the nail bed. Personally since I've never been taught how to do it properly I'm afraid to try it on a client lol

  • the # grit do u use at the begining to file the natural nail....

  • do u also use those other nailclippers or do u findthe ones in the video easier? XD
