Chrome tip - apply a base coat after applying the chrome, then the final top coat, my chrome nails would ALWAYS chip before i started doing this but have remained perfect since i added the base coat step! ❤

@adriennebowen3186 10 ай бұрын

I totally vouch for this! I’ve recently started doing this technique and it’s chefs kiss!

@operachef1 10 ай бұрын

Yup, and I sometimes use gel foil glue which is even better. My chrome never chips.

Pretty much the same here, but with a thin layer of clear hard gel, and zero problems with chipping

you are the first person I've seen mention that some buffers can actually make your natural nails too smooth and will lead to nails popping off. I learned this the hard way!

Same!!! I couldnt figure out why my gelx nails always popped off within a day or two.. I noticed how smooth they were one day and tried something different and it was amazing..

@catherineers 7 ай бұрын

These are great tips! I watched this video a couple months ago but found it again and still love it. My nails lasts so long now maybe 3-4 weeks tops. I wash my hands and dishes often and occasionally use my nails to open soda cans and such but nothing too heavy duty, and they still last! So my take away is you dont have to go about life too cautiously if you have pretty nails, theres no fun in that. Just enjoy your nails and life to it's full potential. If it pops off, do it again and have fun :)

@cris418 10 ай бұрын

This was helpful; thank you! I do ALL the nail prep, use the tools and prep solutions but I was still getting lifting. I learned 2 things: 1 I wash my hands or use water way too much too. I’m an art teacher to little kids and artist so I always have paint/glue/oil pastels, whatever on my hands and nails. I need to start wearing gloves bc after I wash and use nail scrub brush, I always apply hand lotion and cuticle oil. I know I’m over washing and over moisturizing. 2. I will use the primer over the tips after filing. I never thought of that. I just went into base. Love the 80’s vibe here. It was like watching a nail tutorial on Stranger Things! Little girl in the 80’s but teen during the 90’s. ❤

Thank you for putting this out there. With all the videos I've watched, I thought I had the process down. That is, until, for the first time ever, my set popped off before I even got to paint them! It was right after I put them on. I scratched my head then POP! So I've been scouring trying to find the reason and you said it here...I buffed them way too smooth! I didnt even realize the effect that had until now. With that and so many other tidbits, I appreciate your very detailed explanations and steps. I learned new things here❤
