Insurance?

if they're foggy underneath halfway up like where the natural nail bed would be you don't need to etch them as they're pre-etched for you. you can also pre etch with primer on the under side of the nail just where your nail bed goes...since the drill might be too hard on that length. but yes dehydrator primer & a base gel to protect your natural nails all help with the adhesion process. also careful as the nails are soft gel they may shrink in the lamp

As someone who does nails, most times, in my experience, the pre etch isn’t enough to cling onto the nail and last more than a couple days. ;( so he did good

“Ooo, this one is crooked, oh well” my energy 😂 love you❤!

i bit my nails from the age of like 6 to 22, im now 24 and it’s the best habit i ever broke. having long pretty painted nails feels so much more like me, i love it.

I stopped biting my nails too. Unfortunately, because of all the housework I do, my nails don’t ever stay beautiful for very long. It’ll take me a month to get decent looking nails and then in one day, 4 will break. 🥲But I continue to cut them instead of biting just to keep on top of the habit.

I’ve been biting my nails my entire life and I’m 35. I stopped when I discovered dashing diva nail stickers and then that motivated me to try the gel x system. Seeing how beautiful my nails were when I stopped biting them and having fun learning to do my own nail enhancements and designs changed my life 😂😂.

Yess boo! Licensed Nail tech here to answer your question 😂 if the underneath is already prepped (you can buy like that) they will be matte on the side that you attach to your nail plate. If they aren’t prepped (like the ones you had) you do want to efile the inside with something like a sanding band aka arbor band or a diamond bit, just enough to remove the shine and give it some roughness so the gel holds. Gel doesn’t like to stick to shiny surfaces. I hope this helps and if you’re ever in Orlando I’d loveeee to slay your nails ❤

As someone who has bad anxiety and is a nail biter because of it, your nail videos help me feel less insecure😭

I think if they're pre etched you can skip the prep on the tips

Doing nails came so naturally for me..I love doing them just for fun on my mom, stepmom, granny and sister!! Definitely a money saver and an amazing hobby

Yesss I do my own nails too and with every try we will get better 😇 if you want to practice on your nails a lot check out the jello jello peel off base and remover. It makes removing so much easier even with gel x on! ☺️

You know what would make you more obsessed? If you mixed your own nail/cuticle oils. When I started doing that it was *chef's kiss*. I got my recipe/how-to from simply nailogical

For people who say “why do u make it so simple?” As someone who’s a nail biter, I’ve always wanted a normal looking nails, so yeah it doesn’t have to have designs on it

Loved how natural but then protected and elevated these are! And you are a pro girl

The way you make it look so simple😭

boy you made it look so simple 😭

You did a great job ! They look very nice :)

Girl it looks so good I love that color

Damn girl I wish I could do my nails half as good as you. Love that color.❤

Last time you liked my comment and its so good to see, that you kept my comment about not overfiling in mind! This looks so much better and so good! :) Also: I am an ex-nailbiter too. And gel really helped me to stop my habit! Look at your cuticles, they're already so much better! 🥰

First, congrats! It’s so much better than the first time. Yes, etch (aka drill) the underside, even if they say they’re pre-etched still rough it up, because that uneven surface helps it adhere. Also prime & dehydrate to make them last longer. Young Nails Protein Bond is a great primer.

You do the natural look SO WELL! I GOTTA TRY..MY NAILS BE LOOKING LIKE ROCKS🤣🤣

The silence in this video was so comforting 😂

If you prep the false nail using a brush with acetone on it, it will do a way better job then filing plus no powder x

They aren't gel-x, those are just plastic tips. Gel X Nails refer to Soft gel tips Edit: I know bc I do nails and was duped into thinking they were soft gel, too

Hi! I know this video is super old but please be careful with Beetles and cheap Amazon products! I know so many clients who now have gel allergies due to trying and not knowing enough. Now they have this life long allergy! 😢 love you! ❤

I love 💕 your nails they are pretty

I love 💕 it!!

If you chew go for acrylic, but it is difficult. If you want to grow them naturally laminate them witj builder gel. But! It is sof if you can't stop chewing. Hard gel and solid gel can be better. Don't forget cuticul rose oil.❤

You did so good for only a second try. I love the short length too. ❤️

Gel x nails are life. Never going back

When they said “not press ons” I thought it was gonna be a half tip & gel overlay technique lol

Period And yes It’s already prepped well it should be

ALWAYS PUT BASECOAT TO PROTECTTT AND FILE THAT LAYERRRR

Okay beautiful but the cuticles girl !!!! And dehydrator and primer

Adding any abrasion to a smooth surface will always make it adhere better. So def sand the inside where you’re gonna place it on your real nail. Nothing crazy, just enough to make the surface not smooth =)

OMG I HAVE THOSE SAME POLISHES amazon for the win 😌

When you made the sound of the drill 😂😂 it made me cackle

Not us having the same nail tool box 😂😊❤

Cute but looks simple not in a bad way 💚😊

I just purchase my own almond set of this and this excites me even more! Cannot wait to try this out with the beetle dip powder midnight euphoria

You should try fiber gel on your nails! Keeps them strong and can help you from biting your nails 😊

I love how he /she says “it sounds like doyoyoyooo“

Yes you etch (file) underneath the fake nail as well on your natural nail (but for natural nails is better a hand file than a drill) . The adhesion will grab better and last longer. Good job!

It just looks like a natural nail

Ok wait but I love that you did a natural mani

They are pretty I never heard of gel X

Spotted you in the audience at season 15 drag race final. You looked gorgeous!!❤️

The way I’d pass on this with all those steps 😭😭😭

These are pre etched hence the matte finish if they are shiny they aren’t pre etched. It’s really up to you if u wanna rough up the matte ones it’s already done for you but if you chronically struggle with your nails staying on then it doesn’t hurt to etch them again

I like my nails short too; French tips. My nail tech chuckles every time he does my nails, "You like so short." Yes I do. Several years ago the pedicure tech talked me into French tips for my feet too so "they match"; I went with her suggestion.

I love mine just as short it's so nice to see somebody else do the same

Remember a good hand prep beforehand Patrick! That UV lamp will age your hands unless you wear gloves or sunscreen- trust me you don’t want a beautiful aesthetician face and wrinkly hands.

Love it they look beautiful 💅

Yes etch underneath! Good job

I'm a nail butter too.I'm with you

Aaaaahhh I use all those stuff too!😂🫶🏻

Young nails bond is the best! And also get a softer buff or file to finish the edges. And don’t forget to wipe down before you start color. You can also buff the tips before color so it adheres better

Those look incredible 😍😍😍

Cuticle just have left the chat and my pulse too

I love the beetles line! So good!

I have never been my nails and then I've always just let them grow but once they get a little bit long they break on me or they split in the corners where I have to clip them. Fun fact- I am never had my nails done professionally, when I was younger I did the press on nails but they damaged my real nails and I did not like that so I just always had my real nails. Some people think it's crazy that I'm 37 years old and I've never had my nails done and I have never had my eyebrows professionally done and I've never worn false lashes or hair which I don't have to with my hair because my hair is all the way down to the top of my butt and thick and curly and I love it! Js!🖤💜 💅🏼💜🖤

Tip: You should never leave your polish bottles near the lamp while curing as over time this will harden and cure the product inside and over time the polishes will become impossible to use x And btw they look so good, you did so well for your second time x

some tips as someone who does gel x, acrylics and dip: wash your hands before and after!! make sure to prep your natural nails. 100% acetone or rubbing alcohol will be your best friend for dehydration. DEHYDRATE NAILS BEFORE APPLYING TIPS!!! make sure there’s no dust on the nails before applying tips as it will cause lifting. 100% acetone soaks off the nails, just make sure to remove the top layer of polish!! hope this helps some :)

Drill under the false nail and on top. You should just use a soft drill bit to get rid of the nail. It’ll make your nails last forever.

You can use acetone to etch the inside to make them last longer.

The fact that they were literally the same size before and after

I do my own gel x nails. I prep my nails, but instead of filing the underside of the extensions, I use primer to make it sticky. Dehydrate & prime your nails. Cure each individual nail & then go back in and cure your entire hand for 60s. This is what I do & they have lasted me 3 to 4 weeks. Once they’re too outgrown, I just file down & fill with a clear/pink BIAB or hard gel. But never do more than one fill.

I love your nails 💅🏽

Those are definitely cute!!❤

I love them! They look so natural, nice and neat.

Love how u kept them short the tips help w structure and help w shape and lil length which I can see u left tiny bit

One thing you can do instead of having to etch the underside is use a little brush to apply acetone to it - it will not only dehydrate but make it tacky and have no dust! 😊

I got the beetles kit and they come out so nice. But cutting even with the gadget and doing it straight was almost impossible. 🤣🤣

You can also put a sanding band on the flat end of a metal cuticle pusher or cut a slim piece of a buffer as an alternative to prepping the extensions.

HELP THE WAY HE MIMICKED THE DRILL SOUND 😭😭😭😭
