I don’t suppose you have any tips specifically about preventing and reversing nails gradually separating from the nail bed? I really try not to use my nails as tools, occasionally they get stuck on something and then get pulled on which obviously I try to avoid. But besides that I don’t have much choice but to use my hands a lot, especially washing them and sanitizing them for my job. I think this is causing some problems for my nail beds. Any advice???

I have been procrastinating on doing my nails. I really love how you don’t change up your products much. You have been using gelish prep stuff since I started watching you some years ago. Thank you for keeping your product list consistent

I'm so glad you like the glass cuticle pushers! I've been loving them too. My nails got severely damaged back in March, so I've been slowly and gently growing out the damage. They're almost to the point where I can wear extensions again. I also really love rubber bases and top coats!

The communicative, technical nature of this video is so refreshing. Clear as a bell. Thank youuuuuu❤️❤️❤️❤️

i think i don't only speak for myself - i really appreciate that you share your own experience and the results that have worked for you. so many "professional" nail channels and websites, and so many channels and websites that just copy and paste the information they find on the internet are so uninformed and harmful to those of us trying to learn. you're openness to share what you know is really helpful and i know it's something so small like nails, but not only is it a creative outlet for is that you're helping us maintain and keep healthy, but you're being such a wonderful example to the world that doing your own research and taking your time to experiment and make a few mistakes is how you find the best and most worthwhile results. thank you, i really appreciate your work and the time you put into offering your own unique wisdom for this world. more and more of you keep popping up and it's a beautiful thing to witness. all the best to you and your future💓

Well this was eye opening! I went through a phase where I was constantly using gel polish but I was totally botching the removal process and my nails were absolutely destroyed as a result. I've been keeping regular polish on them which requires repainting my nails every 2-3 days and they're finally healthy again (still short but at least the plate is healthy). I'm seriously thinking I'm going to try again and do it right this time!

Try Sally Hansens miracle gel. Which is a gel/ polish hybrid and is 2 step. My manicure lasts about a week and a half without chipping. I also double up on the base coats too and use a calcium base first and then Sally Hansens hard as nails which is super grippy and holds onto the color. Massaging and keeping the cuticles hydrated helps too, as well as keeping nail beds and undersides clean. Its a long process sometimes but you fall into a rhythm with it. Let me know if you try this :)

Thank you for pointing out the glass cuticle file tool; I ordered a set too and was impressed right away. :) I do not use an e-file, but apply my own soak off gel. I have very dry skin, and always struggled with getting to those super hard to reach edges and corners without hurting my skin. That glass tool is absolutely perfect for the job. 👌 As always, I enjoy watching your videos! 😀

This video has helped me so much! Started my nail journey with this video a month ago, and all my nails are passed my finger length already! Majority of my nails had broken off before I started my nail journey from being snagged on stuff, and peeling which makes them even thinner. My nails are basically paper thin, and after a certain length they just break or peel off since they had zero protection before and I never used cuticle oil. This video has helped me build some good habits, like using cuticle oil and wearing gloves when doing dishes. The best thing for my nails was using gel nail polish to keep them strong and reinforced to prevent them from breaking. I still wear regular nail polish on top of my gel nail polish, since I love the regular nail polish that I already have. The regular nail polish doesn't last more than a few days to a week before it comes off my nail in one sheet, but it's fine since it gives me an excuse to paint my nails again with a new style, but the gel nail polish stays on strong as long as I don't use the peely gel base. I'm so glad I found this video, it's been a game changer for me, and I can't wait to have really long natural nails for once. 😊

This video was the most helpful i have ever watched. I flet like even if i accidentally skip few videos i will miss important thing. Thank you i appreciate 🙏

Try Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant on your proximal folds. I brush it on then I top it with cuticle oil before I fall asleep, and I wake up with hand-model hands. Back in 2020 when I stopped going to the salon, I watched a couple of your vids and based on your tutorials and excellent descriptions (verbal and written) decided to go with Gelish. I've ONLY used Gelish since then. To begin with I was removing all the gel in between manicures with nail wraps, but I was doing serioussss damage to my natural nails, so about a year ago I decided to suck it up and learn to do fill-ins. Now, with the exception of filling in instead of full removal and starting from scratch, I do my nails exactly the same way you do yours. Well, I usually shorten and shape my nails while the old manicure is still on there, THEN I file the bulk off and reapply, so almost exactly. But that leads me to wonder when do you shorten yours, while you shape them after you've applied the Structure? Do you use a 180 grit hand file for the whole shortening process, or do you start with nail trimmers? I am so incredibly grateful for your videos, my nails have NEVER grown this long without bending, breaking, lifting...it's insane how many times I struggled with broken nails when I used to get acrylics at the salon (also, can I just say it is SO ANNOYING when you ask a nail tech to give you gel nail enhancements and they pull out the acrylic powder and the liquid and look you in the face to say 'yes, these are gel nails' No, my sister in christ, these are acrylic nails with GEL NAIL POLISH. I couldn't find a nail tech willing to use all gel and that is RIDICULOUS. *rant over, sorry). Now I'm so obsessed with how good my nails look, (I do one coat of Structure in pink topped with one in clear, then a clear top coat which gives my nails a sort of Dior look) I cannot stop admiring them. It's almost embarrassing. Thank you so, so much.

Thank you so much for making this video!! It was extremely informative & it has me excited to do gel manicures at home! ☺️

I’ve had acrylic nail for that past 2 years, and I’ve been wanting to go natural for awhile after getting a soak and my gosh my nails looked horrible. Thank you for posting! this was really helpful since I’m looking for products to do my own nails!

I used to have long healthy nails when I was in high school and loved them. Fast forward to college I started to work at Subway and the constant hand washing and gloves made them think and brittle and anytime they grew out they peeled like onions. Trying to grow them out again. So far I’m succeeding but being careful. I ALWAYS have the painted and and apply cuticle oil. I also ALWAYS carry a glass mail file incase I get a swagged edge which normally I would tear off lol I have big hands and wide nail beds so I can’t wait until they are a little longer and I can shape them almond

This sparked a lot of joy ❤

Your nails are so beautiful ! Thank You for this video ❤️❤️❤️

a nail tech will be able to file down to the natural nail effortlessly cause they’re pros but i wouldn’t recommend that to someone who is just starting out or not as savvy. they could easily file all the way down to their natural nail and right through it if not careful, so i always recommend just erring on the side of caution. i sometimes do what the nail techs do depending on what product is on my nails, but scraping isn’t necessary if you soak long enough. thank you for watching! 💘

This is so exciting! As a girl who has always wanted to learn how to take care of her natural nails and also do at-home DIY nail art and manicures, this gives me hope! I started taking DIY home manicures more seriously these past couple of years. It's so much fun!!! I feel pampered when I do it and I feel more encouraged that I, myself can get the tools that I need (LED lamp, e-file) and learn how to work with them myself. I daydream about possibly taking classes, but... I would just end up using it on myself because I love taking care of my hands and nails so much!!! I'm lucky my nails do grow out well, but I want to try and get them as long as yours one day, so I have to keep up with moisturizing my nails! I do have a question though, you moisturize your nails in the video, but then you dry out the entire nail before you put the polish on. I've heard that it helps your manicure/the color/polish last longer, but I also worry about over-drying my nails. How does that work? I feel like it's almost taking a step backward. But this is such an awesome video, and like... I want all the tools now to help perfect my nails!!!! 😊😊😊😊

That and it's like, every time I go to a nail salon... My gel polish always peels, (and sometimes burns my nail under the lamp) and it's because they layer it on too thick, so I had lost all hope of getting my nails done at a salon other than regular nail polish. 😭 (Also creates a nasty habit of me just peeling my nail color off) And part of me wants to experiment using gel polish (real gel polish) at home so that I can be in control and learn how to apply the polish correctly. And I like your method of prepping your natural nails clear with the base products first before applying the color.
