I do this with cheap full cover ballerina nails from ali express and l tried your tip of scrubbing the gel into the nail and wow what a difference, that nail ain't budging! Thanks for all the great info!

I’m curious about these but I’m pretty good with sculpting gel nails on forms and I kind of enjoy finish filing. Gives me a weird sense of accomplishment when I get a really nice shape. I learned from the best gel guru on KZread 🤩. Tfs Guru

You learn something every day. I had no idea Kokoist sold these. Thanks for the detailed info and presentation 💕

Again, very informative video. You’re so thorough. Love your tutorials!

This is so informative and a perfect solution for someone who is new into nails but wants extensions. Sending love

Great video as always! I was happy to see a video on Gelips as I was wondering how they work.

Thanks for another great video Miss Liz!

Other videos make this look so easy. Thanks for being real!

Please keep making videos on Kokoist! Can you make a video on how to fill a grown out gelip?!

I was gifted some of those tips, totally gonna try it this week!!!! Thanks so much

Great video thanks Liz! Some even use primer instead of etching the underside of the nail too. Your natural nails look in great condition too!

I must say your camera quality is amazing!! And this video is super helpful.

Hi Liz! Love the look of these. I’ve used another brand that has to be pre etched. These look so much better! Glad to know they can be back filled many times!!!

Those are really nice. Thanks Liz.

Where did the "future videos" go that she mentioned? And when did she address how to remove the numbers?

Thank you for the video!! So much help!! 🙏❤❤

Thanks for video. I have been hearing about these but wasn't sure how they worked. They are just the same as the full cover press on tips I use for daughter only gel base is used. I like that idea

Very informative video! Thanks for sharing!

Good tutorial. Thanks Liz

Thanks for this review. I am a new nail tech and was considering using this but I would rather sculpt a nail with proper shape and apex. I just need to keep practicing.

I totally agree with you on these! I recently tried some and I didn’t mind them too much but I do prefer to sculpt! These are good in a time pinch and I like these for art practice!

On my wish list!

wow this is gonna be perfect for the project I am doing....

Another awesome video!!! 💜💖💜Don't worry about your skin. I know easier said than done. Lol I hope your renovations are going great!! Tfs💜💖💜

That seems like a fun product to play around with. I'm horrible at the almond shape. Maybe I could get these for clients that want almond and practice in the meantime

What ratio of acetone to alcohol do u use to make your cleanser please?

Hello! I've just tried the Kokoist for the first time. Trying it out at home before I use on clients. The tip did not stay down like it did on you. It popped before I could get it into the lamp. help?!

Iv been wanting to try these for the longest time. Mostly to use on myself so I don’t take so long doing my own nails. It’s hard when I have a baby who constantly wants my attention. But would I have to use the Kokoist builder gel and color gel since it’s a soak off? I just have light elegance at the moment so I’m thinking I’ll have to invest in the Kokoist line if I wanted to try the gelips?

What other bonder would you suggest to go with these full cover tips? I'm curious if it's worth the price or if there's something better out there. I ordered the tips off your website.

Thanks for sharing! Ive never seen these before. Wow these are nice but $24!? Good God!?Gelip and Apres are so proud of their products.

I tried doing on my own gel nails once recently, and as a beginner I didn't have a lot of control of my brush so I ended up getting some uncured product on my skin around my nail. Is getting a bit of uncured gel on your skin really bad?

Thank you for this video! Can you do this application over nails with a thin layer of another, non-soak off, builder gel? Or must the nail bed be completely devoid of product? Thank you again!
