heya! Heres some tips i recommend that i didnt notice you mentioned.
-don’t immediately buy a nail drill if you’re not comfortable, if you do it wrong you can hurt yourself!! Stick with a nail file.
-If theres nail dust or product(cuticle remover for example) on your nail, make sure to wipe it off with alcohol or wash your hands!!
-File down the cuticle part of the nail tip a bit thinner(the top of it)It will blend in your nails more seamlessly.
-after primer, i recommend applying base gel and cure it. smaller chance of air bubbles when applying glue.
-if you do happen to accidentally get gel on your skin, take a brush with some acetone and wipe it off. Never leave it on your skin!! you can develop an allergy!!
-if you dont have the budget for a flash cure lamp, then make sure the big uv lamp has a removable bottom, and make a sister or your mom to hold it over your nails. Works amazing😂.
-Always fully cure the gel! Again, you can develop an allergy!!!!😢

Thats all i can think of for now😊

Hey guys! I hope this video helped you start doing your nails at home. Let me know any designs or extension methods you would like me to teach you. Here's your shopping checklist to get started.

Checklist for Your At-Home Gel X Nails Tutorial
1. Buffers – Used to gently remove the natural shine from your nails, ensuring the gel adheres properly.
2. Nail Files – Essential for shaping your natural nails and perfecting the edges of the gel extension tips.
3. Nail Dehydrator – Applied to remove any oils from your natural nails, promoting better adhesion and preventing lifting.
4. Nail Primer – Prepares the nail surface for the gel glue, increasing adhesion and longevity of the extensions.
5. Cuticle Pushers – Used to push back the cuticles and create a clean nail bed for better tip application.
6. Cuticle Remover – Helps soften and remove any excess dead skin around the nail bed for a clean, professional look.
7. Alcohol Prep Pads – Used to clean and dehydrate the nails before applying any products, removing dust and residue.
8. Gel Extension Tips (etched) – Pre-etched tips ensure better bonding with the gel glue and your natural nail.
9. Nail Lamp – Required for curing (hardening) the gel glue and gel products quickly.
10. Gel Glue – The adhesive used to secure the gel extension tips to your natural nails.
11. Nail Drill – Ideal for prepping the inside of non-etched nail tips and cleaning up the cuticle area after application.
12. Rhinestone Glue – If you plan to add rhinestones or embellishments, this will keep them secure on your nails.
13. Nail Art Brushes – For creating precise designs, details, and applying gel paint for nail art.
14. Nail polish and gems of your choice

Oh my god— you literally made it look so easy and simple. I did want to try to do my own gel x nails at home but then decided not to. Now that I’m trying to do them again, this is a helpful tutorial on how to do them.
