Finally, something that makes sense and straight to the point

100% this helped. Especially keeping under the light longer - literally my nails normally last 2 weeks but I'm currently going on a month!

I love that you are sharing this. There aren't a lot of videos with folks with simple instructions. I would love to see a tips and tricks video where you walk us through how to use the different nail art brushes for designs. 💕

Informative, to the point, and no unnecessarily long intro ❤

[Idk_]

I’m going to try these because my gel manicures only last about 4-5 days and the they start chipping and peeling which isn’t normal even after doing lots of prep they still tend to peel

[albertaslocum]

I just found your videos and wow! I really enjoy your content. I'm just beginning my gel nail polish journey and your videos are perfect - short and very informative. Thank you for sharing.

[audrey]

Hey! Thank you, I think my lamp is the problem will have to invest in a better lamp. 🌸

[oliviavilner]

This is such a helpful video. Thank you so much! I use the Beetles lamp. Is that okay for curing? (I also use Beetles polish)

[Kangaroocry]

Do you have a daily nail routine (cuticle oil etc)?

[martinala]

I use plastic press on faux nails (POFN) and one major mistake i made the 1st time was not buffing/filing the POFN. This is apparently a crucial step to let the gel polish adhere better to the POFN. The layers of gel polish just chipped & even tore off in less than 3 days. All that hard work... Gone. But lesson learned indeed.

[Solid_Snack]

Can you please recommend a brand that is long lasting but also doesn't take forever to remove?

[kittypau]

Hello! Is the primer more important than the base coat? Or what is the difference

[may]

Early! Thank you much needed! Love your vids!
