Adding a comment for the algorithm because more people need to see this I use Holo Taco polishes with the Conversion system all the time. Plays nicely with Mooncat too.
What a WONDERFUL swatch video! Thanks for sharing!💗
He is supposed to be professional and try to fix anything that might challenge the reputation of his business instead of validating the negativity with a bad attitude. I love his products but if he knows that was not the right quality with his products, he should have said"I am sorry that must have been a manufacturing issue, let me send you some nails that are proper quality." Not called her a,"rachet girl" she didn't deserve that. She paid money and got substandard merch. Not the right way to handle and rep his quality business and management.
Is this foundation pink?
Thank you for this review! I ordered some, so excited to learn.
I miss your videos. I hope all is well.
❤
Hey McKenzie just got back to learning more about acrylic nails and I was hoping to see more content from your channel .
Love the concept but watching how much you had to dig, I would never use this on a natural nail
I'm.juat xuriou3 any u sisnr use a form or file ur nails...I definitely think the kit should of least has a brush tho
I like the product but i did have a difficult time getting the polish off. I didn’t know about the strong being so difficult to get off. The polish lasted several weeks. I only wanted the polish off because it grew out. Plus i wanted a new color. Will try again when I get the courage. I don’t want acetone used on my nails as much as possible. Thanks for your review.
Thanks for this tutorial! For this hand you had acrylic- was it top coated, or was it just buffed? Do you think this peel off base would work over builder gel?
Coat the handles of your wooden brushes with base & top coat to seal them against stripping the finish.
Thank you for this cool video. You have such a sweet disposition. I would love to see you do a video on the enail couture 123 go press on full coverage nails. Which is the best method of applying them to last for at least two weeks?
I do have one that I filmed a few years back about the 123 Go system, but I can always do an updated one! My favorite way to adhere them is with either a hybrid gel or acrylic, but I've also been using Young Nails Keratin Fiber Gel with great results! kzread.info/dash/bejne/ooqjyKmims_NdLg.html
Yes I agree with the shipping and then handling 🤦🏾♀️I also got a little bad experience. I got a kit, the core one and they sent me a brush that doesn't even look like the ones they sell smh then if u try to call them, good luck with that. Bad customer service. I feel like I spent money for not everything because of the brush.
I'm so sorry to hear that you had a bad experience! Since this video, I've had nothing but good experiences with Young Nails...but I personally don't love their acrylic brushes, especially the one that comes with the kit. If you're in the market for a good brush, my favorite lately has been Kiara Sky!
This was fantastically helpful!
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Thank you!
I love this system. I use the 123go all the time n they last just as long as the sets I used to get from the salon, I've had some last for over a month😃
Hi, I bought the lamp about 2 months ago. I use it for my own personal nails. I dont use it everyday. I left it plugged in but off when not in use. Is that bad? Are you supposed to unplug it every day when it has a full charge? My battery died an hour ago and I cant tell if its recharging. I am afraid by leaving it plugged in too much that I killed the battery Do you know how long it takes to charge when battery dies? I loved your review and am a new subscriber. I just didn't know who else to ask and I have never used a rechargeable lamp before.
Hi Colleen! As a rule of thumb with any technology (from my understanding, at least), it's not the best for the batteries to have them plugged in all the time. I try my best to catch when my electronics are fully charged, and unplug them. I think the battery usually charges in about an hour - you can tell because the little battery icon in the bottom right of the LCD display will have bars that move up and down. It's finished charging when all three bars are present and not blinking. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
How do you get the stupid battery out. Maybe it’s just mine but it’s stuck
It can be tough to get out! The battery that came with my light is very snug - I honestly have to shake my lamp to get it loose! 🤣 I also have the rechargeable battery station and a spare to swap it out while the other one is charging, and the second battery I bought is nowhere near as difficult to remove. I wish I could be of more help!
Btw I’ve gotten young nails delivered after buying in 3 days w processing of the order included. They’re my favorite brand. After sales it’s usually 4-5 days but no more than 6 since they have so much to ship out
It can also depend on where they are shipping to, but you're right, they have very reasonable shipping times and AMAZING customer service! Thanks for watching!
I recently got into nails and discovered the different types of product that are out there. For example poly gel, hard gel, acrylic and one thing I am confused about is people mention that slow setting monomer is ideal for beginners because it helps you practicevliquid to powder ratio but at the same time it seems as if you have to modify how much liquid you use so that the bead doesn’t turn yellow or run off. howWould that help you in the en with working regular acrylic I might be misunderstanding if you could please comment to help me understand I would greatly appreciate it by the way good job with this video you did great!
Hi Adriana! I'm sorry for the incredibly late response! I definitely see where there can be some confusion in regards to how a slow-curing monomer is beginner-friendly if you have to alter the liquid-to-powder ratio anyway. I find that the advantage falls in the cure time - you have more time to recognize what the bead should feel like, and you have more time to build the nail itself, all while using less product. At the end of the day, every product is going to have it's own learning curve, even if it's the same product from two different brands. Slow-setting monomer is more beneficial to those who have never touched acrylic before, so they can understand the basics of the medium while limiting some of the time restraint. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
This is the most informative video, thank you!!! I was wondering if we can use this brand base gel with kiara sky or apres nails tips?
Hi! Sorry for the super late response! I have found that you can use tips interchangeably with another brand's gel, but I usually stick to one company's base products! (For example, I use the 123 Go tips with Young Nails Protein Bond and Keratin Fiber Gel to adhere them, and it works very well for me!)
I have so much trouble with stamping it’s so hit and miss but you seem to have a superb success rate! What is your secret?
Aww, you’re so sweet! It’s a combination of technique, speed, and great products! I have a video on stamping I did a while back about how I stamp, you can check it out if you want! If you’re still having trouble, feel free to DM me on Instagram @manicured_by_mckenzie and we can troubleshoot together!
Can you do the fast curing one from her? I wonder if that smells too
I have used her fast-setting one in other videos, and it does have a traditional monomer odor (although not as strong as some I’ve tried). I hope this helps!
What is a good top coat?
My favorite top coat at the moment is Poochiez Nails Super Shine No-Wipe Top Coat, but Koko and Claire has one that I also love!
Hi, to apply the glitter, can I use base coat? I dont have jelly
Yep, a base coat would also work well!
Thanks for the review :) I can't believe they don't come off in the shower-- did you have to be careful with them there?
Nope, I just went about my daily life! Since the edges were capped with each layer, it protected them from coming off in places like the shower or when watching dishes. Given, they were on acrylic, so that might have helped them stay on longer. On natural nails, it will depend on your personal nail chemistry! 😊
@McKenzie Colette My polish also doesn't come off when I watched the dirty dishes 😂 (just kidding)
How is the drill holding up?
It’s been about a year and a half now, and it works as well as the day I got it!
Great overall review of your collection. Thank you.
Can you use the water base and top coat with other brands of gel nail polish? I'm trying to decide what at home gel nail products to purchase.
I have never tried the water base with any other products, but I have seen a few KZreadrs who have done so and it worked well for them. Just remember that if you mix brands, you are risking service breakdown, and it would be difficult for the company to help you, since they often don’t these their products with those from other companies. I have recommended KoKo and Claire to many people for at-home gel nails! I love everything about their company, and their gel polish is wonderful to work with (and trust me, I’ve tried LOTS!).
@@mckenziecolette4438 thank you!!!
They do wrap the monomer so well. I’ve never had anything from there leak. Maybe once? A small acrylic container but I doubt it. I for sure can’t remember and I’ve had tons of order from them for a few years now. I’ve had acrylic spill from other containers and it made a huge mess but won’t say what companies. That’s another story lol but it’s not a big deal. It happens. Yet people on KZread flip their 💩 if something isn’t 100% done correctly lol. I like the Goldilocks bit. I have a couple. I wanted to get the KS efile and lamp because of hype. Because of how cute it is. Because of the packaging. I have seen a couple of reviews that their efile didn’t work out well and stopped working soon after. A couple of others said there is a gap where the e file bits go and dust gets in and THATS why KS sells this thing that you put there to block the dust from getting in. Idk if any of this is true or not. But I didn’t get either of those items because I have the Kupa efile in the phantom flat black. I have a portable led lamp form Amazon and it’s in flat black. So they match my aesthetic but I do love me some cute pink girly items lol. I don’t work as a tech so me getting the KS stuff would just be for fun and idk. Maybe lol it would be a waste 😂
Lmao guinea pig in a box line that! XD NGL that box has me thinking of fried chicken and makin me hungry lol ty for making this video. Been wanting to see what her faster setting system was like.
I’m so JELLY from your huge CJS collection 0.0 how long have you had your stamping polish for? I have been wanting to know how long they’re good for. I was thinking of using my stamping plates and polish again that I’ve kept in proper storage for the last 2 years and I wonder if my polish will be any good or if the quality diminishes over time :/ I love that Susie plate too! Been wanting to get it but idk if the upkeep is difficult on all the lace patterns. Some of plates aren’t cleaning well. It’s all from CJS. Do you ever have issues with cleaning some of the designs? I have it with really tiny designs for example like a rose outline.
Hi there! I’ve been reading all of your comments, thanks for interacting with my videos! I’ve had some of my CjS stamping polishes for over a year, and they still work very well! Since stamping polish is thicker by nature, it keeps a little longer than traditional nail polish. And in regards to cleaning, I use 100% pure acetone and cotton pads to clean my stamping plates, and it works really well!
what speed should you use around the cuticle? and what speed to take down bulk?
Around the cuticle I use anywhere from 8-10,000 RPMs, and that’s usually dependent on what the material is that I’m filing (I’ll use a higher speed for acrylic, less for gel). I use those speeds when I’m finish filing after application on the whole nail. To take down bulk, I use a very coarse bit between 13-15,000 RPMs (usually 15, though) to remove product, such as when I am doing an acrylic redesign or to get gel polish off quickly.
But it will wear differently on natural nails
Absolutely, it will. I’ve worn it on my natural nails (which are very thin by nature) and they’ve lasted a few days with no chipping. I’ve also had people who could get a week’s wear out of it. It’s just like any nail products, it is very dependent on people’s individual body chemistry.
Is it cordless ? I see a cord.
Hi! It’s cordless in the sense that it doesn’t need to be plugged in to operate. It has a cord between the hand piece and the base unit, which most e-files do. Rechargeable might be the better way to describe it.
Enailcouture lover here 💕💕
Great video!
Yes do a video on your organization! I find the people who have the smallest spaces have the best tips!
I’ll definitely work on putting that together! ❤️
OMFG THSTS WHAT IVE BEEN DOING WRONG I DIDNT REALIZE YOU HAD TO DO A DRYER BEAD FOR WHITE IVE BEEN WONDERING WHY I CANT GET IT TO WORK
White acrylic is hard to work with in general! I always try to drain as much liquid out of the bead as I can when working with white powder and any kind of monomer.
Great Review!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
Hey! My nail drill does not sound like this.. mines is pretty noisy? What should I do
Certain e-files have different noise levels - That doesn’t necessarily mean that they are bad! There isn’t really anything you can do about it, it’s all in how it was made. My first two e-files were on the cheaper side and were kind of noisy. I’ve also found that portable e-files seem to be a little quieter than desktop e-files. I hope this helps!
Omg THANK YOU!! I started my nail journey in January & have been intimidated by acrylic/monomer as I’m so TypeA that I like the time I have while working with gels…so when I finally couldn’t take it & needed to try some acrylic products I bought THIS monomer-my first bottle had moth floating in sealed bottle<I mean I’m sure it happens-but what are the odds?! 😆 > then I was having nothing but issues, I couldn’t get a Pearl to save my soul-when I would it felt like it never cured-didn’t realize was just a side effect-I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong, bc if first bottle I started to wonder if it was the product…I watched her video I reached out to her- 🦗 🤦🏽♀️ I am gonna try again-would love to know what REGULAR mma free monomer you recommend - Amazon purchase if possible-thanks in advance - and know that this really helped ME! Sending continued to success•justjenn
Hi there! Congratulations on starting your nail journey! It’s a good thing that you reached out to Suzie about the moth floating in your monomer - she’s great about customer service, so I’m sure that it’ll be resolved. As for a regular-setting monomer (of course MMA-free), my favorite is Young Nails. I believe that you can get it on Amazon, but it’s actually cheaper if you buy it from Young Nails directly. Let me know if you have anything else that I can help you with!
Super cute nails. I love YN.. I use their acrylic and gel systems. Great video
Thanks so much! ❤️ Young Nails has grown to be one of my favorites!
Love this!!!
Love YOU, Kate!! ❤️❤️
That's crazy! I'm also studying child development (graduate next May with a BA) and planning to become an Elementary teacher as well! (And get a nail license too!!)
OMG, yes!!! I love seeing people in my field following ALL of their passions!! Good luck! ❤️❤️
Congrats! I would like to see your friends nails if you find the photo!
Thank you!! ❤️ I will definitely look through my old phone to see if I can find it!
Are you a licensed tech? ❤️
Hi there! I am not, but if I do not get a teaching job next year, I’ll probably go to get it!
I am glad to see that you posted a video! Very pretty for Spring!
Thanks so much! Student teaching has been very hectic lately as it comes to a close. Once I graduate, I will be posting on a more regular basis!
How long did it take for it to come in ??
When I filmed that video, it was about two weeks on the dot. But that was also toward the end of April last year, and the pandemic had messed the mail up pretty badly. Things may be a little better now!
