Thank you very much for the content shared! I live in RJ/Brazil and here I have a lot of difficulty finding PRESS ON NAIL courses that have good reviews, as the focus of the institutions is different. You are significantly changing my hope that I can apply everything I have learned in life to this new career. I will be eternally grateful for all the support you have given to us, peripheral people with limited access to high-quality intellectual materials. You've already been changing my life since day 00! One day I know I will give you credit for my success in the future because I am excited about it now! Thank you and have a great life out there! ❤✨

I did the same thing! It’s so hard to know at the start what is worth spending on and what is worth saving on. I mainly keep caps on them, clean them with a a clear soft gel or a quick wipe on an alcohol soaked lint free wipe, and if they are really bad/ have cured gel will do a quick acetone soak (avoiding the top of the brush as acetone can eat through the brushes glue that keep the bristles in place.)

May I ask what county your in? Do you ship international? If so, will you be going over the process of that? Also, will you be doing an episode on pricing? Are you buying from a beauty supply company or from a manufacturing company? And will you also go into details about that? Thank you sharing you knowledge and experience with us, its truly appreciated... 😊

Do you use a vacuum table to cut down on plastic dust in the air like fabricators do?

Thank you so much for making these videos ! I had one question though, do you only use natural Apres tips for all clients ? Including ones with more curved nail beds ? I want to get into selling my own press-ons but I’m confused about if it’s okay to use natural for all or just offer sculpted for clients that may need them 😅

I'm curious to know how you make this stick to organize your nails in set

do you have any amazon gel recommendations?

Hey are the gel polishes that you recommended builder gels or regular polish gel? I’ve made nails twice and the first ones came out so flimsy! Is that from the nail tips I bought? I then bought builder bit then the nails were too thick and weren’t flexible enough to fit my nails. What do you recommend I do to fix this?

I just started looking into all of this as well and plan on taking my first steps toward it next week. I took advice from another nail youtuber and just bought the cheapest pack of extensions I found on Amazon that I will 100% not be wearing and will solely use just to get used to painting nails on the stand and learning how to control my brush strokes better. So I'm just using that, the stand and adhesive she recommend, plus some old nail polish just to practice. I figure this way I'm not wasting money by practicing on expensive tips I actually plan on using and it can help me determine if this is something I seriously want to get into as well. Best of wishes on your journey!!

Hi! Is that clay? 2:24

hi! I wanted to ask if the base of the apres tips are all the same for the different shapes. For example do you find that you are always the same size for your different fingers no matter the shape or length of the tip? or do they vary a lot?

unfortunately due to the nature of the nail sturctre given a specific shape and length, the inner curve varies slightly between different shapes and lenghts in apres tips.

8 ай бұрын

hey welcome! for press ons, natural is generally the better choice as sculpted nails have a higher apex, which when applied with gel can be filled but is much harder to “fill” with glue, sometimes leaving a gap between the nail and the top and leading to them popping off/ not lasting as long.

great question! annoying answer is, it totally depends....depends on the kind of product used to create the 3d element and if it needs the extra lock in ahesion to not fall off. But most of the time yes, I change up the viscotiy of the top gel deending on how much of the detail I want to retain.

This question might be silly, but can you reuse press on nails? If so, how do you clean them to remove the previous glue?

@miniamipress

10 ай бұрын

you certainly can reuse them. you could use a regular file to file off the glue. But if you wear press-ons frequently, you could always invest in an inexpensive nail drill which takes 2min to remove the glue.

There is also a nifty little orange wood stick that has a file on the end of it. Like the sand paper stuff from a regular file, but its on the end of an orange wood stick. They are made for filing on the underside of your nail. They are very hard to find, because no one uses an universal name for them. I basically try describing it, in the search, at websites... But you'll know it if you see them, as its an orange wood stick with an inch or so of a colored tip. Purple, orange, and pink are the usual colors. They will last several uses, especially, if its for personal use. They are great at either ruffing up the underside of a tip, or getting old dried glue off a tip. They usually come in packs of 10 or more and only cost a few dollars. Other than that, she is correct in saying you can also get a cheap electric file online, from one of those cheap discount Chinese websites. Make sure to buy a diamond cone or football shaped bit to go with it. (you want a diamond bit so they are not to aggressive) They are not great for actual filing acrylic or gel nails, but for buffing tips - they would work fine. I've seen them as low as $30. Which is incredible as I paid $ 1000. For mine 25 years ago... I hope that helps 😊

@@Julia-wk1tk I am so glad I was able to help, and that you were able to understand what I was describing, it's so hard in text to explain things... As for your semi permanent nails, I don't quite understand, what is semi permanent?? Personally I've never worn full cover tips, I have used tips, but the kind that you glue on, at the tip of your natural nail. (well less tips or french tips, they call them) Being a professional nail technician I prefer to sculpt on my own hands. I do see the fun in press ons, as you could change the design of your nails every few days, to match outfits and events. And of course painting on a tip is so much easier than on your own nails. If your going to get into press ons for personal use, be aware the set up cost is a lot. But in the long run, yes you'll save money . There is the added bonus of it being fun to create your own designs, and getting exactly what you want... 😊

One more thought, make sure you remove them properly, so you don't destroy the tips and or your nail bed. Gotta keep that nail bed healthy and undamaged, as if it is, nothing will stick to it. So, take the time and care to do it correctly. That means no ripping, pulling, picking or biting... And stay away from chemical removers, they will destroy the tips.. 😊

​@@miniamipressShe is asking about base coat, because a lot of press on creators use base coat to add strength to the tips. In that case those creators are making really long nails, and maybe be using a lower quality tip. If you have tips that are extremely thin and bendable, then yes, you will want a coat or two of base coat 1st. Apres tips are very high end, and come with a price tag to match. Locally they are $50. per box of 600, and that doesn't include tax or shipping. (Over $80. With that) Now think how many shapes and styles you must have, to take press on orders... Next time you see a tech open a drawer, with 10 boxes of different tips in there... Thats $500. - $800. just waiting for who might want or need, and sometimes you have, what no one wants.... This is why a lot of people look for cheaper options, and you get what you pay for (most times).. Now, there are other reputable brands out there that make good quality tips, and are a tad cheaper then Apres, but if doing xtra long and longer, you may still need some base coat for strength. Base coat is also good to have on hand, for mixing with art items or creating a sticking layer to the tips... Hope that helps 😊 Sorry, I started talking to you, but ended up speaking to the girl who asked the question... lol 😉

@@miniamipress I should also say, some systems of gel polish are designed to be used with their base coat. They tell you, that their polish will not last the 3 weeks with out it. Kristy Meaken brand new gel polish line, is one that comes to mind. She states that even painting on a tip, you must 1st apply her base coat for proper adhesion and for long wear. So, make sure you research the polish brand you are using... Hope that helps 😊
