You're nail course was months?

Well, guess I’ll just have to say YOU DO OUR PROFESSION PROUD!!! 71 yo who let the license lapse last year , and sure enough, you go and teach an old (b-ch) dog new tricks 🥴. Always wore acrylic nails, watched your tutorials , and am now a convert !!! Who’d a thought ??? Elizabeth, if you’d been born 40 yrs ago and knew what you know now we’ll...there would be a whole lot less of infection and fugus and OMG!! Thank you, thank you and bless your heart, sweetie, for all you’re doing for this profession. Bless you and yep, Luminary has changed my life. Blessings, hugs, and if you were my granddaughter I’d be makin’ you tamales and cream puffs!!! Hugs

My whole nail journey started with me just trying to figure out some problems I was having with my gel polish. If I had found this video first I probably never would have learned how to do extensions lol. This is great info, I've been making a mess out of my daughter's super short nails, she will appreciate it! ❤

I’m SO happy I found this video as my nails are very short due to work. I was having trouble, just like you said, with getting the product all over my skin and then trying to get it off without really messing things up! I’m very grateful for you sharing your knowledge, thank you! ❤️🙂

Thank you! I could never grow my nails, and once they were nice and long and in good shape, i realized i hate long nails on myself :( this was just what i needed right now!

Thank you so much! That was so helpful. I’m not a pro, but rather do my own nails. I just clipped all my nails very short. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us. Be safe, be well. 💜🙏🏻💜

thanks for this video Liz! I'm a beginner nail tech and have struggled with my gel Manis peeling so fast. I had no idea how to fix it and was starting to get hard on myself about how I prep! This helps so much can't wait to try it

This video has literally answered all my questions about natural nail gel polish. Thank you.

I didn’t know I could file the gel like that! Fantastic. And now I know why the salon would never cut my nails as short as I wanted. I’m so glad I don’t have to go back there. They always told me I looked tired, which I thought was kind of shitty.

This was so helpful! I have always struggled to put gel polish on my tiny nails and this trick can be a saviour from all the extra messy cleanup. ✨💓

Why have I never thought of using nail forms?! Thank you so much!

Great video! I appreciate the comment about the russian manicure! As a nail tech student here in the states I have learned that we (here in the states) aren’t supposed to do those, but constantly see the videos on my instagram of people doing them with a mani service or incorporating them with a pedi. I’ve had a couple clients inquire about the technique and my only response is that it is out of my scope of practice, and that they need to keep their hands moisturized. Will definitely be trying the forms for my next short nail client!

This is SO HELPFUL! I have finally overcome a nail biting habit and am growing my nails.........i LOVE seeing what you've done here - never even know this was possible! I've never even had a professional manicure. Now i know what to ask for when i do treat myself. My natural nails aren't as short as your thumb nail is, however they're not that much longer. This video gives me hope that I can have pretty nails sooner than later!

Best video ever! I was trying to find a product that would create a barrier and this process blew my mind. I would have never thought to leave it on through each cured layer. Excited to try this! Thanks for sharing these helpful tips 🥰

Omg thank you, thank you, thank you for this!!! I’ve started doing my own nails at home and your videos have been so so helpful. But it is a lot different doing gel on short, natural nails

Love this tutorial, short and sweet and to the point! Thank you!!

I can't thank you enough for all of these fundamental videos. I'm finally all caught up! I've learned so much.

Excellent tutorial! This has always been an issue for me when I’ve tried to do my own gel nails.😄

Thank you for all the info and extra explanations. I’m learning more about nail prep etc than any other nail tutorial I’ve watched!

I think French manicure stickers the ones that help guide you to make a even French manicure on yourself might also be a good alternative for the edge of the nail. I usually keep my nails short so this video helps me alot lol, thanks.

What an ingenious idea!! Thanks so much for sharing this tip! You are amazing Liz!! 😊👏🏼👏🏼

Baby!! This idea was a game changers for me polishing my short nails 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽 Thank You 🙏🏾

Omg I wish I could ❤️ this video like a million times!! WOW!!! Can’t wait to try this on a friend who claims she can’t wear gel. THANK YOU!!

Love those ombre colors, watching that one next!

Thank you. Just grew my nails out again. Needed this.

I've just had my natural nails done...its the BEST! I'm a homesteader so working with crops and animals means I cant have long nails (it's dangerous enough) but now I can actually feel more feminine with a more permanent nail covering solution!! Woohoo!!

This is the most helpful video ever! I prefer having super short nails to the point where I can't see the whites of my nails. But I always get peeling as you mentioned. Thank you for this! :D

Much appreciated. I'm a guy w/short nails and have been using gel polish (blues & greens) for the past 6+ months and this has always been my main issue. Definetly need to pick up some nail forms. Also, I typically square mine off, but, will try a slightly rounded tip. Thx again.

This was very helpful, thank you. I like my nails very short and always red. Fantastic tutorial for someone like me.

Wow I never thought to do this! This is amazing, thank you!!

Excellent! That works great for me because I like my nails really short like that. It is much more easy to paint the nails and not messy. Thank you. Lots of love to you. 🌷🌸🌺

heck yes. i've got short nails and this is so good.

Ok !! very informative !! I've done my first gel nail application tuesday. I'm growing my nails and have never done that before or gone in a nail salon.I'm impressed at how bold you go with applying the gel polish. You are not afraid to put a thick layer. I went a bit shy with a very soft pink color.I'm definitely going to try the way you do

Dang girl you rock!! Amazing idea. Simple straightforward advice that makes sense!!

Brilliant! Exactly what I needed today. :) I have to keep my nails very short and just couldnt get the tips right. I got lifting no matter how careful I was, or I flooded the tip. I think I can do it this way successfully. Thank you!

Thank you for that great tip. I will use it in the future.

Thank U Thank U Thank U!!! What a fantastic idea of using nail forms.

Wow. Thank you so much. Because of this whole pandemic I had to soak off the acrylic I had on mine. They were lifting bad. (I don't think I can wear acrylic. Have to find a hard gel tech) so after taking off my acrylic my nails were really thin, so they all broke down to nubs. I have thin nails to start with that brake easy. That is why I wear enhancements. But I miss having gel on. Was wanting to paint them, but had no clue how to do it with out getting gel all over my skin. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for this video as I diy my nails all the time and I always had this problem of the gel polish lifting right at the edge!!! You are amazing ❤️

Thanks love.i will try this.am going back to work this month and as a midwife I need to have short nails💕

Great!!! I can't wait to try this out on my nails

What a brilliant professional you are!!

This is ME - like to rock my short nails! Thanks for the video!

Thank you so much for explaining this so that someone who is not a professional nail tech can still understand. I love gel polish but my natural nails are short, and therefore I always get peeling from the top of the nail. Now I understand why this has been happening. I have the best nail tech and he does such a great job, but I am going to tell him about this tutorial and then he can use this same technique on my nails. Awesome!

That was a great tutorial. I will be watching more. You are a really good nail tech. This from a professional 25 years experience. Thanks

This is so informative. Dang-thank you!

I love how you explain in such clear detail 😊

I am a DIYer and this was great. Thank you

Thank you so much. I wanted to know how this is done correctly. Thanks for sharing wonderful info, always.

LOVE this video - thank you for great tips (for gardener's like me who have to keep my nails short)

Amazing I’ve never heard of this technique for applying gel polish on short nails. Thank you for explaining why the gel polish chips, was a very useful video ☺️

THANKYOU so much . You explained the process with clarity . 🎉🎉🎉👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥰🤩🤗✅✅

I’m new to your channel and I’m so happy to have found a way to make sure my nails last longer than a week. Thank u so much❤️

My goodness thank you so much for that tip, very useful. Why have I never though of this ?? Fantastic technique 😍

Thanks so much !!!!! Love your channel I’m a DIYer and learn so much from you.

This video came up on my feed at the perfect time! Ordered an LED/UV nail dryer. Can’t wait to save money by doing my own nails. Thank you for this upload!

This was an awesome tutorial. So helpful. Thank you!

Thank you sooo much for doing this!!! I thought so many times about taping the skin on the end of my short nails but then thought I must be crazy...

This was exactly what I was looking for

Love this video! Thanks for all the information.

You are THE BEST tipster for perfecting at home gel nail manicures 💅👏 ✨Thank you!✨🔥

Great video thank you!!! Could you do a short one showing how you would you use the paint tape instead of the nail forms? Thanks

Oh man! Kudos to you girl! You NAILED IT 😉

Best information ever! 🙏🏻

This was so helpful thank you!

Honestly, best trick! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Thank you for this information! I’m a diy junkie & have been doing my own gel nails since it first came out. I struggle with this issue, since my nails are short, & brittle...and I usually end up with a mess when trying to cap. I truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us that need the education. 🙏🏻 Have a great day!

May I ask how you file your nails and what kind of nail light you use? I’m just starting to do my own nails and need some tips! Thank you!

Perfect. Frequent handwashing at work makes it difficult to maintain strong nails. Thanks for a great tip on how to protect nails with gel while they (hopefully) grow.

Thank you so much for this video! My nails are fairly short and I always have trouble capping my free edges without getting polish on my skin. I didn't have any forms handy, so I used the blue painter's tape and it worked fine. I have ordered some forms so I can encapsulate the free edges a bit more, like you showed in the video, as my nails are naturally soft. I'm using the Gelish Foundation Flex to help protect and grow my nails a little longer. Thanks again - I'm not a nail tech, but like to do my own nails and your channel is so helpful. 👋

Super helpful! Thank you!!

This is a wonderful video ...this is amazing, what a great idea...I just did this to my short nails and my nails look so much better as I'm trying to grow them out... And it makes your nails look so real too with this idea... It's like the thinnest layer of gel to round out your nails

Great tips....will try this next time

Great video!!! I. Struggled with my free edge until I saw your video. Thank you for thoroughly explaining this process. 💝

That's fantastic, thank you!!!

Excelente tutorial!

Thank you for this!

this worked SO welll! thx

That's really helpful! Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video. I'm growing my nails from scratch after I had to get rid of the gel nail products due to an allergic reaction. My nails were BAD!!! Nailbed were exposed etc!! Now after 3 months I can actually start wearing polish again. And I dont want to use all that builder products like before. I want to do exactly like you did in video. The form idea is brilliant!! Your tutorial show exactly what I wanted to know!!!

This was super helpful! My nails start breaking as soon as they grow over my tips and I prefer them short tbh so than you!!

Wow!! So much helpful and thoughtful information! Thank you!

Wow!!! Thanks sooo much for the info. Great vid 👍👍

Super helpful, thankyou!

Thanks! I needed this tip.
