🛑STOP prepping GELX tips like this!🤦🏻‍♀️#gelxnails #gelxtips #gelxprep #nailtechtips #gelxmethod

It’s so much easier and DUST FREE to prep your GelX tips like this! Use 100% acetone and an old nail art brush to scrub the acetone into the nail tip! I promise you won’t go back😍

Also work it around the cuticle after application it helps to seal it and melt it into place for seamless cuticle

I used to prep the tips like that, now I just buy the pre-edge and it saves me time . 😊

Me watching this after doing my nails the hard way last night 🧍🏽‍♀️

I prep the inside of the tip with nail primer, and it works soooo well, my gel x nails last for over 3 weeks

Dehydrator does the same thing but that's a good hack for when you don't have dehydrator

[Sugarxspicenails]

This is good! I usually use primer but I’ll try this next time!

According to the manufacturer, doing this is not a good idea because it melts the tip and weakens it and could also encourage lifting.

Oh wow I can’t wait to try this! Thanks for sharing 💕

You can do this but results may very. My soft gel tips tips are too thin at the cuticle (they thin it out near the cuticle so you dont have to do as much filing) and they end up being too bendy to work with or they split. Maybe I'm using too much acetone but for me it just ends up eating away at the tip.

[chellzers]

Yes! Your nails will be on GOOD! I've been doing this lately, and my nails are indestructible lol

[msrenata]

Yes 👍🏾 I will try this hack! Thanks you!

[margiereichard]

Primer does the exact same thing!! 🌻🌻🌻

Ooooh im going to try this, thankfully i found this video before i put my set on. I usually let my nails breathe for a few days before a new set

Much cheaper option for those of us on a budget than dehydrator, ive heard its also an option 🤷🏼‍♀️ thanks for the tip! Just starting my Gel journey 🤗
