Here where I live, nail techs unscrupulously skip steps in prep (with acrylic) so you’re guaranteed to be back in their chair every 2 weeks. Beautiful transformation! 😍

Yep. Same here where I live. They don't push the cuticle back before starting prep or even to do a fill. I started doing my nails when quarantine started last year. My nails don't have much lifting anymore thanks to watching her as well. I learned so much from her.

They don’t file off the lifting, they just put product over it. When it comes to removal, they typically pry the nails off instead of soaking them off, which is painful and damaging.

omg i could NEVER let my nails grow that much out :D

I agree with you 100. I also want to add, it’s physics (simply stated) as your natural nail grows out the extensions move up, causing the weight to be distributed further up from the nail bed; the longer you let them grow out the more weight is pushing down on the free edge, which can & most likely will cause the natural nail to split, crack, peel and grow out irregularly. (it’s not always visible to the naked eye, at first, but damage is happening when they are really out of balance). I don’t believe as professionals , we should encourage clients to go more than a month without a fill or rebalance, some can go longer and that’s fine but we should at least be educating our clients on why regular maintenance is important before there is damage. -bragging around ZERO lifting is nuts, lifting is the number one issue with extensions -many of us struggled in the beginning of our careers to reach that no-lift set. When we finally get to that point it’s like “YESSS”. Most nail products begin to break down at a molecular level with wear, contact with water, chemicals, and hormones - honestly that’s what they are designed to do, they are not permanent additions. Every client’s nails are different & it’s up to the professionals to try to help the clients understand this. Really great topic! I love the insight. Thank you for sharing

Great, wise, and supportive comment! As a professional in the beauty industry myself, I consider my wisdom part of what my clients pay for. And so do they. Stay great ladies!💋

As a nail tech of nearly 20yrs I never have matching nails. I'm always trying something out, so I often cycle which nails I pick and completely take off one or two nails let them rest for the weekend and then try out something new. My clients are always checking out the designs and colors. It gives me great ideas for my clients when they want something special.

i love how the new set turned out! imagine having a rough day and while randomly doing something you notice the little quotes on your nails. you will suddenly get a mood uplift and motivated! amazing 😆💜

I’m definitely not a tech- I’m just now learning how to paint my nails/manicure my nails, after miraculously quitting a 32+ year nail biting habit (I say “miraculously” because one day I woke up and I literally just...stopped. No plans to do so, it just weirdly happened! I never had the urge to bite them again, and that was almost a year ago!🤷‍♀️) I usually keep a hard gel overlay on to reinforce my natural nails...and about a month ago I learned to NOT push my luck with letting it grow out too much, without a “rebalance” (yeah, I learned the hard way lol). The gel apex was basically grown out to the free edge, but I kept pushing it back to do “later”- until the day my hand decided to slam itself on the edge of the kitchen counter!! After yelling ALL of the cuss words, in all the languages I knew any cuss words in (😆) I finally looked down to see the aftermath....most nails hurt, 1 broke the entire free edge off, but most were “ok.” My thumb however .... it had broken not only the “nail”- but nearly 1/2 of my nailBED ripped up!!! It’s still growing/repairing itself, but I don’t think I’ll be repeating that same mistake again anytime soon!!!😆❤️

If my nail tech took the time to explain and educate me as simply and thoroughly as you did in this video I'd be willing to take their advice. I've had so many who don't explain what they're doing or when they want me back, when I first started getting my nails done years ago (I'm 41, so definitely before the internet was like it is now) I felt so lost and inexperienced, I just had to watch everyone around me and guess as I went.

I've been getting (and now doing) my nails done for decades. There's certainly ways to maintain healthy 💅 but I usually fill every 2-3wks and will teardown and build a new set every other month or so 💖

I do my nails once a week. I never let them grow out. I do my own and get board of my design after a week. I used to change my design 3 times a week for years but that finally got to be too much 😆

I get anxious and start filling my nails. I end up doing them about every week or two. I don't have time in one day, so I will do them over 2 - 3 days.

Exactly and same! I’m in Houston and the nails always end up popping off or chipping in a week .. sometimes less with gel polish.. I do my own now and I take them off at a month because I get bored lol

I agree, not everybody has the lifestyle either to accommodate nail enhancements either. For example, I had a client who chipped two nails a day after I did them. I would have felt like it was my fault - if she didn't work in an Amazon warehouse moving boxes all day. Also square shape probably wasn't the best because the corners are prone to chipping. Side note, I would love to see a tutorial on stamping.

I did my daughter's nails (gel extention) back at the end of July. (I'm not a professional but I love doing gel extensions and decorating nails) and I just took them off October the 9th. Almost 6 weeks later. I was so surprised and happy that they stayed and she took such good care of her nails. (My daughter is almost 12) she lives it when I do her nails. She shows off her nails to all the girls at school. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Beautiful nails! Thank you for the great info on when and why to change product. I learn so much from you and it's fun to listen to your commentary. You have such beautiful technique. It makes me try harder with mine. Thank you!

As a former client of a Nail Technician, I experienced nails that were on too long and i had to let my natural nails recover. I Loved having Acrylic nails but in the end the maintenance was costing too much so now i have short natural nails and put strengthened on them.

Wow! They’re mega long! I always educate my customers. Love it when a new customer thinks she can come in for a nail repair after 4 weeks, lol I think an infill is what u need 😝

Its wasn't only until recently that i got it in my head, from a Customer perspective, longevity is not always a good thing. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the topic!

I just started doing my own nails after getting mine healthy and strong and I have learned so much from you:). Great videos ~thank you so much 👍😊🤗

Ohh 3-4 weeks, I’d wish! I have to do mine every 10-14 days. My longest was 3 weeks but only because the color was natural. They grow so fast!

Your voice is so soothing to hear. Your videos are both calming and educational. Love your work. ☺️

For me it depends. Sometimes I do my nails every week, sometimes I don't do them in over a month. I am happy to say that I've found a way to make my nails never have lifting, and for the few customers I have as well. When I used to have the service done by another nail tech, way before I started learning ans doing the nails by myself, my nails would lift very quickly and I can honestly say that the service quality was bad. Now I always put 2 layers of primer on the whole nail, non acid one because my nails are very sensitive, then I out the base coat and hard gel. My nails are very thin and without hard gel or polygel I can't even scratch myself. So even after a month and a half, I don't have any lifting or cracks. But I agree that for clients it is best to do the service every 3 to 4 weeks.

And if I have time to do my nails I'm doing them at 12:00 and 1:00 at night which is ridiculous.

I feel you girl I’m sitting here right now getting ready for work I got two extensions on one hand and three on the other that I desperately need to soak off but I just haven’t had time stay too busy

Recently I started getting gel overlays done by a “self taught” tech bc the professional I had booked 5 weeks in advance canceled at the last moment 2 times. At first, everything was … ok. But then after a couple fills I wasn’t enjoying the vibe and the tech couldn’t always do styles I preferred. So I didn’t rebook and let them grow out. Finally after about 4 to 5 weeks they were just too long, so I decided to file them. There wasn’t any lifting, but I needed them shorter so I could type at work easier. As I was filing off the product, on several nails I found product that was still WET after 4+ weeks. I haven’t gone back since, nor will I.

Great video as always! You are so right! Cute nails!

1st time seeing one of your vids but found it really helpful. I've never tried gel polish since I usually do my own nails and didn't want to buy the UV light thingy you set the gel with until I'd researched more about using gel polish. Over the years I've become really frustrated about normal polish cause honestly I'm lucky if it lasts unchipped through a day, which is a major problem since I have arthritis in my hands and honestly can't stand my natural nails uncovered. Your honesty here has finally got me to the point where my next paycheck will be used to splurge on getting everything I need to have gel nail polish on that hopefully look as nice on me as yours looked in this vid. Will be definitely subscribing and look forward to your other vids.

I am learning so much from your education. I do my daughter’s nails and we notice lifting and cracks after 2-3 weeks. Her nail grow very quickly but also unevenly across the nail plate so once the free edge grows out, it pulls off the underside of the product. Is there a way to repair the nail bed and even it up so the nail looks even from side to side. I also have uneven nail beds due to years of nail biting and tearing the nails off in layers. This set is simple and stunning. Keep up the fantastic work and videos. xxxx

I completely agree!!!!

Gods I WISH my nails looked like that after 3 months. MIne look like that after about 8 weeks, and that's if they don't lift off before then. I usually get 3 weeks tops out of mine before they start lifting off, and max 10 days before they REALLY need to be touched up due to half the nail being exposed. They grow super fast and are really really thin.

I have a gel overlay over my natural nails because my own nails are very soft and break easily. Without the overlay my nails would break often into the nail bed, which we all know is very painful. With the overlay I don’t have that issue anymore. My nail bed has gotten longer as I have no breakage, but my nails grow very fast. I get them filled every 2 weeks and the length taken back.
