I've been using this kit for months now. I love it and over time, I've gotten even better at it - now my nails look better than if I was to get them at the salon! I do recommend getting a full hand led nail lamp to save time and using the small beetles lamp to flash cure/secure the nails and then using the full led lamp to set them all at once.

Omg! I have been going to the salon for years and I never thought about doing my own until seeing these videos. I just bought the kit today with a drill to rough up the inside of that nail and a large LED lamp. It’s on now! Thanks for sharing

Thank You so much! I am thinking of switching to gel polish and had lots of questions. You answered most if not all of them. Your video was quick, precise and right to the point. You're awesome!

This is still one of my all time favorite videos for gelx nails!!! I would love to see more designs!

Awesome video! Love how you went through the steps quickly, one last time before ending. I’m definitely going to try this.

I love this video. The easy instructions, the intricate descriptions when needed for extra details and the fact that products were listed in order of the video. Thank you so much

I have found your video to be the easiest to follow!!! This is very beginner friendly!!! Thank you sooo much Sonia!!! Buying my kit immediately!!!! 💅💅💅💅

Yeeey!!! Thank you for this tutorial and to go back to your roots ☺️FUN FACT that’s exactly how I found your channel like 10 years ago lol always so easy and fun to follow

I cannot wait to try this kit, I literally just bought it all. I feel super confident thanks to your video ❤

You don’t actually need to add a dehydrator to the nail tip itself, if you had a primer that’s what you would add to the nail tip to help the tip adhere to your nail bed. Your nail dehydrator is just cleaning your nails of oil and sanitizing your nail bed, just like if you had just used rubbing alcohol. And also the “gel nail glue” is essentially a rubber base coat or a builder gel. Beetles Calling it “nail glue” Is just advertising like apres called theirs Extend gel. If you’re having any problems with the tip popping off I would recommend you either etching your nail tip with a nail drill or scrubbing part of the inside of tip with pure acetone, or brushing on a primer on the inside nail tip before you apply it. But regardless you did a really good job, I’m about to buy the sticker it very fast, simple and cute nail design,

I noticed she didn’t buff the nail prior to polishing them and didn’t use a base coat. I thought at least one of the two would be necessary for the polish to really adhere?

Thank you! I was so confused about her curing "nail glue"... I already have a clear builder gel, I will use that!

This was so cute please share more nail tutorials really enjoyed this 💕

Best Gel X application I’ve seen! I’m a little biased because I love the color you chose, but you gave a really thorough explanation as well. Great job 😊

You did an amazing job with complete Step-by-step process. I mean, you'd make a Great teacher. Just off your video, I'm definitely going to make a purchase of my 1st kit and get started ASAP. I have an event coming up and I must be cute and save money with it.......thanks.....

This info is great! When I do my own gel nails, 99% alcohol on a brush works great to remove the excess polish before curing.

I adore this set , everything is so beautiful and perfect. My signature look to the nail size. So perf😚💅🏽

So gorgeous ! Well done & looks so professional . Thank you for the detailed video ☺️

I went to Sallys and got that nail color and did this same design you did! It is my favorite set I have had so far!

I just bought this can’t wait to try it thanks for this super helpful video!

Yesss so excited I found a channel like this!!❤

Ok I bought everything in the description 😂!! Much cheaper than the NCE kits that’s for sure! Plus one set at the nail shop is easily $50+!!🎉

Lovvvveeeeee! I’ve started doing my own with KISS brand press owns. Definitely switching over to all if these products ASAP!!!

Should use dehydrater and primer and remove shine from natural nails with 180 grit file and put primer on the inside of tip that would help a lot 🥰

I just ordered another one of these. I like the new style light they have. You don't have to push the button anymore it's sensored now

I got this kit myself I did my own last night in love dude freaking cute only thing I will need a bigger lamp but it’s ok

Please tell us the name of the gelish polish you’re using? The link shows a variety of colors….only pink color i saw was “all about the pout”…?…..

Love love love

1st time here and already subscribed. How do you remove these? Love how simple you made it look. Getting everything. The dehydrator do you have to purchase both or just 1? Ty

Fyi- as of 01/27/22 the beetles nail tips, glue and lamp are $24.99 (free ship w/prime). Plus you can get this as a subscription as your tips run out, youll get another kit for that same price locked in.. Price will vary as popularity of item varies. I got mine in October 2021 at $15.99. I love the kit and the nail glue...its all I use now bought a 2pk for $7.99 then. Worth it!!

I absolutely love the C-Curve , how did u get the nails to get such a great C -Curve? They looks so natural that way. Thank you 😊
