The link doesn’t work

Nope it doesn't.

I just re-typed it my end

Like is not working

Link does not work

Thank you for clearing this up! I was super confused when seeing a video that would say GelX but no products used had the name included so I was like wait, what is GelX then??! Lol

You’re the only person Ive seen that actually clarified this, i was so confused for months.

I actually didn't know this!! I thought it was an application technique similar to the *ACTUAL APRES GEL X* system and that was why everyone called it Gel X because its similar to the original system but not said system. This is the first time I've seen someone point this out. Interesting…🤔🤷🏾‍♀️

👏🏻 , and polygel is not the name of a technique as well, it's actually the name of the product! HYBRID GEL, is the actual name of what everyone calls "polygel"

@@saywhat23 100%!

Right! 70 for basic long nails plus tip is ridiculous

Where I'm at full set was 25 and now over 100 not with a tip.. I do my own acrylic now..

It is ridiculous!!!! What is your opinion on gel x nails??? I have been wanting try them however the allergic reactions people have been having scares me. Has anyone tried the Sistaco nail polish??? I want to try it but it is expensive, but all the reviews talk about how easy it is and how others love it….,

@shannonwhitfield8943 I didn't like gel x when I tried them. I just taught myself to do acrylic. They last much longer. Everyone is different tho. If u do acrylic I suggest using kiara sky cause they are hema free which prevents allergic reactions!!! I think they also have a full cover tip line with a bunch of options! I've heard of sistaco but I've never tried them just cause the prices really.

@shannonwhitfield8943 & All We should boycott them & look for cheaper places, they are just trying to get over. It's horrible, they over charged my friend & she called them out on it, then they lowered the price.. You always have to ask first, how much, so they don't scam & that's basically what they're doing scamming. They're not in Hollywood. People really have too start speaking up to them ! ! ! They will start losing business. Will you be charging decent prices ? 🙂 You'll get All their business ! 👍🕊️🗽🎉 Best wishes to you ! ! ! Go for it ! ! !

The primer she uses is specifically for tips. It chemically etches them. Instead of buffing with an efile. These are made out of gel, not plastic like other tips, so they will react differently to different solvents.

Thank you both!! For this information 🎉❤

That is good to know

When I used beetles I would etch them manually (coarse grit file) rather than chemically etch because I'm a cheapskate 😅

Any suggestions as to which ?

​​@@dianagabriela3287just search for hema free or hypoallergenic gel nail polish and it will appear some options.

KZfaq, the girl who used Hema and now has an allergic reaction to acrylic which is an almost everything just because she used gel X nails

Thank you!!

Girl no this will make you allergic it’s extremely dangerous

​@@Mommy_Moss she means a slip layer on the natural nail and then applying the tip and then curing instead of putting the gel on the tip. It's getting cured but just not immediately instead a half a minute later after the tip is on..(if you'd work with hard gel you'd understand what it is, you don't use a base coat and cure it for builder/hard gel, but rather you apply a very very thin "slip layer" where you want the gel to go and then build your first layer and only then do you cure. It's like a base without curing because hard gel bonds to gel so well) imo experience when it comes to full cover tips the best results are when you do both a slip layer and a dab on the tip if you're using thin glue gel but for the ultimate use a thicker formula or a solid - you can't go wrong with the solid or you can use polygel or builder gel imo those are the best for beginners especially and the great part is you can use whatever color you'd like for your background or even do a marble or design with the poly or colored builder gel. It makes everything much easier

​@Mommy_Moss she probably meant to brush the glue and then apply the nail and cure

Just please give proper advices I am kind of tired seeing something & then next second backed up with facts that's actually dangerous! Just put out proper, safe, professional advice for beginners please! Seriously 😒😳💯

@@wisdomfromprystinetheempress exactly, not curing it's dangerous

Wouldn’t that be exposing more of your skin to UV light tho? Unless you face it away from your body/face

@@rm.makes.me.smile_ Yeah you have to face it away from you of course or use one of the gloves that people have nowadays for gel manicures that covers your entire hand besides your nails.

My brain isn’t processing this lol some lamps are curved. The only flat side is the way it is

@@CallmeQuayZ my lamps are curved too and this is how I use my lamps. It's really not that hard. Just flip it in the side that's flate and it lays perfect by standing it up this way. Look it up on KZfaq since you seem to be on here. I'm sure someone else can explain to you what I'm talking about if you can just look it up yourself. There's many ways to use your LED lamps. This is how I figured out how to use mine in different ways because I found it on KZfaq years ago. I thought it was a pretty smart idea especially with people that can't afford buying different lamps all the time. Have a wonderful day! ✌🏽🌼😁

Those mini lamps are only around $6-$7...hardly expensive.

LITTERALLY

Beetels

i have actually have a full tutorial vid on my channel with the same kit and in the description I put a doc with links to everything, idk if that might help you guys find what you need :)

Read the box

IM SORRY OMG I thought I pinned the comment. I’ll share the link to the kit rn amzn.to/3J0okxi

acetone

Honestly, it's all about practice. I've been doing my own nails for 3 years and in the begging they were bad. But I kept practicing and now they look great. Also take your time, don't rush!

​@@MarianaChavez-Cordova o[i ,,. I. m6m

Good question

pinned comment

What is the kit/kits?

What’s the kit called?

I did binge watching on gel ex and ect and ended up buying a beetles kit great for beginners im still learning I can’t get my nails tj last a full week without popping off

i think its on her tiktok

Yeah I get using the same video across all your platforms but wish they'd take the extra step and put the actual link in description on all of them. Kinda lazy imo

Nope I see no link Idek what it’s “missing” bc she’s talking too fast

The more you mess up the more you learn though….

Me too! So you are saying this one is worth it? I have so many kits. Acrylic, polygel, dip lol

To protect from so much UV exposure

Change the playback speed

😂😂💀

I’ve found the beetle gel x set on Amazon ❤

If they are cured properly under the light then no they should be very sturdy as the light cures them to your nail.

Yes please

u have to remove it. a fill is possible but probably not best
