went back to gel recently after having a nightmare working with builder gel. in all honesty, it was my mistake as I was really impatient with the removal. my nails were paper thin, super sensitive and sore, and looked really rough. now that my nails are back to normal, I’m growing them out with just good old normal gel again. thanks for this!

I just did builder gel and had it on for too long... I was picking my mum up from the airport and cracked my right thumb and it tore almost half way of the nail. My nails are still super damaged and it seems some of the nail got lifted as there is less of the pink nail bed itself left and more of the "white" part... I'm trying to nurse them back to some sort of health even though I don't think they'll ever go back to normal visually... I regret doing builder gel so much. I thought it would help my nails out because I'm a nurse (been working for a year) and my natural nails basically died-- they got super thin and weak and were always peeling and breaking... I'll never try builder gel again and I have had bad experiences with regular gel also because of overzealous drill use instead of waiting to soak them off. So I think once my nails get a bit stronger, I will try to do my own gel Manis at home.

Love the tutorial! I love having my nails done but don’t like the price and how rough others can be with mine so I’m devoted to perfecting my own manicure now lol thank you for the video

And now I know the exact colour to get for my wedding DIY wedding nails. Thanks Amanda ❤

Excellent video!! I really enjoyed that and you explain everything so wellAmanda! I have broken my ankle ( pirone and tibia ) was operated last week and I am sitting bored out of my mind ! Your youtube channel helps me get thru the day! Thankyou ❤️❤️❤️

I'vd just ordered a gel nail lamp and kit, I'm so excited so this video has been really helpful for me. I'll back again once the kit comes through and I need to do it!

Another excellent, informative and interesting video. What a beautiful manicure and color. Thanks!

So beautiful! I just ordered that polish!!🤗

Your nails look great! They've grown so much.

You’re a great teacher!

Thank you so much for sharing and teaching us 💅 👍

Love this informative video! This manicure looks amazing & is exactly how I love my nails to look! Ordered a few of your tools from Amazon so I will try this myself. I agree- salon does not turn out how I like nails to look New subbie- binge watching. 👄💄👄💄👄💜💜💜

Love this so much! I watch all your nail videos, buy all the products, but I do NOT even TRY to do my own nails 💅🏽 😂😂I’ll try it out!

Beautiful! 😍

I loved this! Subscribed

I'm finding the new builder gels many brands have, or BIAB, to be so good I don't ever have to buff the nail to prepare anymore! Something worth checking out. But I rarely do a full remove, just buff off the colour and some of the builder and fill in.

Your nails are so beautiful! 😍 What is your secret for keeping your nails looking so strong and healthy? I have thin, short nails and I am trying really hard to grow my natural nails. I love your channel! ❤

Love the color! You look even more beautiful pregnant 🤰 I saw you on IG nd the bump is growing ❤

I switched to DND gel polish and it stays true to color and as shiny as the first day I did my nails. This is coming from an ER Catscan tech who is constantly washing her hands. I still love gelish but I feel like the top coat gets dull and the sanitizer changes the color.

what is your thoughts on using a prep dehydrator application before the primer? Not sure if I should buy that or not.

Hey Amanda , am new to gel polish and found your amazing video my problem with all nail polish it become smudge any ideas?!

Great video, beautiful nails!! How long do you cure each time? Does it depend on the polish or lamp or both? My manicures start lifting on the sides, maybe buffing as you did and I will pay more attention to avoid paint on the skin or cuticles! Do you know if these products can be purchased in store? Would love to do my nails today!! Thanks so much!!❤

I now wear UV gloves great video 🙂

I've trying to do my mani for years now and I struggle with the gel, with the extensions I gave it a try today (gel on natural nails) using your video and turned out som uch better

@@AmandaBellaaThese nails are looking so pretty! 🩵

After the dehydrator do you still put the primer or straight to base coat??

When do u do the dryer

Gorgeous

what lamp are you using?? i’m looking to invest in one because my $30 one doesn’t seem to work well.

Thank you for your diy gel manicure. Now I want to order the base, gel, and the top coat. Please tell me how to get it. Take care

I get most of my polishes and supplies from Amazon. Doing my own nails is something I’ve always done, but didn’t try gel polishes until 6-7 years ago. They are the best!😊

Will the UV light hurt the parts of your hands that aren't covered?

How to use nail dryer ?

Do you know where else you can buy polish from not avail on Amazon

What do you use if removal is necessary? Regular polish does not work. Is there a special nail polish remover?

Hi after I clean the nail What is the gel that you put on with that light short brush?

Hi Amanda I’m from Egypt can you please type to me the names of all the brands you used for the builder Gel if you please ,it’s the first time doing it at home my myself Thanks

How long should you cure?

I have a question for you. Can a person use regular polish on gel nails are do you have to use gel polish on gel nails. I’m going to do my own gel nails for the first time. Would like to know if you know that. Love your videos. Thank you so much. Mary

I actually do this all the time. I have a gel overlay (it’s pretty much gel as a base) and then I paint my nails with regular polish, and regular top coat. I prefer this method mainly because I like to switch my polish frequently. But you have to let the gel fully cure. You can’t have it as a gel base, regular nail color and gel top coat. Unless the regular polish is fully dry. I believe Amanda has another video on gel overlay. KZread is great for that.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ VERY NICE !!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oh no! Peeling gel is usually a result of poor prep. Make sure you rough up the nail a bit (I like to do so just around the perimeter) so that the base coat adheres! Try to keep your nails out of water (wear dish gloves at the sink), and don't use your nails to pick or scratch at anything.

Just started doing my own gel nails. The polish peels off with 2 days

You could be doing too thick of a coat. When you do that the gel doesn't dry fully on the inside only the surface. Make sure you're also taking the top coat and "capping" the tips of your nails, which means just swipe the top coat on the tips so the entire nail is sealed in

Just use high SPF sunscreen on your hand. More effective and less accessories to buy!

how do i know the recommended cure time... ?..

It's Gelish "{All American Beauty"! It keeps selling out, but when it's available you can get it in regular polish from Morgan Taylor too ◡̈

May I ask you did not for dray

How do you keep your nails so strong? Or is it genetic 🧬

“I cringe when I step into a nail salon!”

I don't understand your video 😢

I can't see your video properly because of subtitles 😢

Hi on the bottle of foundation it says you have to remove excess after cureing with a brush out of interest why do you miss that out

Great video. Need to try it. 😍@ jofay fashion
