Thank you! One thing I’ve noticed from wearing these myself is that the plastic ones tend to melt if you like to cook and are near heat. The apres are a soft gel and they did great! I had them in for 3 weeks with no breaks or melting before I soaked them off😃This video was so helpful. I’m a nail tech in California and I really appreciate your help💕

I just discovered your blog, and then you videos. Bless you for sharing all this information! I have a question - I know some customers like their fake nails to be thick, like salon gel or acrylic nails. Would your recommend customers sizing up if we use hard gel or acrylic, since the nail will be more rigid?
@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie4 жыл бұрын
Thank you ! If you're going to use gel or acrylic, I recommend sending 2 of each size. Because while they will remain the same size in millimetres, they will be as you said more rigid. And so if a person has flat nails, they may not be able to get the tip to stick on without pinching their nail bed. But they can use a larger size and file some away from the sides to get the perfect fit.

I need your advice. I bought BTR box French and the gel top coat keeps peeling off! Any advice I use alcohol over the nail before applying the product to help it stick.
@NailswithCourtneyCrosbieКүн бұрын
@katarinasimeone1358 hiya :) alcohol won't make the nail sticky for application. If that's all you have, but the nails to take the shine off, then wipe with alcohol, then carry on with the application of your polish. I prefer to just wipe them with acetone as it melts the nail slightly, leaving a sticky surface . Hope this helps x

Thanks for the video! You suggest not using hard gel but if you are adding gems that you want to stick on properly hard gel is normally used to adhere the gem so is one thin layer of hard gel okay or would you suggest something else?
@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie4 жыл бұрын
That's ok. 😊 Some people use hard gel and acrylic to create the nails and have no problems. I guess it depends on the tips you're using. I would only use the hard gel for gems, in the area that was getting gems. But if it were a full gem nail, I guess there's no way around it. Best thing would be to give it a try with your products and see how it goes. Xo
