hi guys welcome back thank you for
joining and watching today today is
gonna be a different kind of tutorial
and I really apologize because my
children are in here and they're being
annoying can't always get the best of
everything which is freedom ya know we
don't get freedom here
not very often anyways I am gonna be
using the kiss brand
um I went to Walgreens which is my local
pharmacy here next to my house so I went
there and they had they're having to
sell its buy one get one 50% off so this
one was $7.99 and then I got a second
set it's just plain clear there was
nothing to him so for both of them they
were ten dollars and 41 cents I want to
say close to that so we'll round it up
eleven dollars for two packs which still
is fairly cheap when you're talking you
get to have a full set of Nelson so
there's those and these ones are salon
acrylic French I'm also going to be
using the kiss nail glue my focusing is
never good I'm also gonna be using a
primer and I'll show you why and then
when I'm done with my set gluing them
all on I'm actually gonna be putting a
top base coat on them I know that sounds
really weird but for the thicker part of
it it actually is gonna help make them
get a little bit stronger like a little
bit more thicker and so shouldn't have
an issue with the filling flimsy at all
it's been years years since I've done
press ons
I always do my own nails as you guys
know because my videos I always do my
own but I was like you know I just want
to try and just see how they turn out
and something fun something to do way
sometime I guess you know not that I
have much time to waste but ya know got
to do something for myself and then as
always I am
using the melody Siouxsie gel lamp for
to cure my gel the top part so anywho
here we go
I'm going to show you step by step and
feel free to follow along so here all I
am doing is pushing back cuticles and
making sure that the area is completely
clean of the nail debris because when I
apply the tip with the glue you don't
want it to stick to the cuticle because
of course that's gonna cause it to get
snagged on things and possibly rip the
nail off or cause it to not last as long
so if you just push all the cuticles
back it just makes for a clean surface
for when the glue is applied and then
also on the other part of that stick
that I have which it's like a rubber
stick so it's really comfortable when
it's pushing back the cuticles it's not
really rough I'm just cleaning
underneath my nails and getting all the
I've been doing gardening and stuff and
so I've got like dirt and stuff
underneath my nails so I'm just cleaning
all of the dirt out from underneath so
that way then it's obviously not going
to show and then I'm gonna also be
filing back all of my nails so that
they're all even and they don't get
stuck on the back of the tip because I
couldn't make it look pretty just pretty
crappy so it's best if you just do it
something like this
and now that I've done all of that now
I'm just going to start getting ready to
apply the tips but I'm gonna have to
size them up to each of my nails to make
sure that they're gonna fit right for
all of the sizing like I was saying
before this has been a year since I've
done this so it was kind of exciting
just to to try it and see how it's gonna
look on my nails but the sizing I was a
little bit afraid because my nail debts
can sometimes be a little bit wider than
normal so I was afraid that possibly the
nails wouldn't fit but I didn't have a
problem matching them to my size sorry
the box was taking forever to open their
adhesive to keep it closed was just as
strong I finally got it and it just
comes in a package like that there's 28
Nell tips total and so there's those
nails that you see and then there's
nails underneath the set and it also
comes with its own glue but I like using
the other glue that I showed you from
kiss as well I like using that one
because I have a better stronghold so I
just went ahead and stuck with the glue
that I have the best turnout on and then
it does come with a file its own little
file it comes with an orange six stick
sorry orange deck
so it does come with all of that I did
use the filer but I didn't use the
orange stick because I like my cuticle
pusher backer better and then yeah see
you can see the nails in the back
I was trying not to knock them all out
of the packaging but of course it didn't
work so I end up just dumping them all
in together anyways because like I said
I was gonna have to size him up so
okay so now what I'm going to do is I'm
taking the file that they inserted with
the applications and I'm just filing
down my nails and I'm buffing the shine
off of them that is going to be the key
thing to allowing these tips to stay so
much longer is if you buff the top then
your oils are all gone so it has nothing
like there's no oils that are going to
be connecting to the glue so it's just
gonna be bare Nell to the glue and that
will help them stay on longer sorry I am
out of focus there I don't know what I
was doing for god I would forgot I was
videotaping there we go
lifting you guys up a little so yeah I'm
going to do this through all of my nails
so that way then the shine is off of all
of them
okay now that they are all buffed and
ready to go I'm going to be taking my
alcohol 50% alcohol and I'm going to be
wiping the nail beds off to just clear
the the dust and stuff from the filing
so it doesn't become an issue when I am
applying the Nels so I'm just gonna do
that to all of my nails you don't have
to really like do it really hard it's
just basically wiping it and it's also
gonna help with taking the oil off your
nail beds as well so that's another
reason why I use the rubbing alcohol
look at them pretties whoo-hoo
and then here is why I was telling you
that I use primer on my nails I use it
because the primer also dehydrates the
nail beds and it also kills the oils in
your nose so I apply that to every one
of my nails so that it can also
dehydrate and it also allows the glue to
stick that much better too so in reality
I could probably get a good four weeks
out of these nail tips because of all
the dehydration I'm doing as well as the
buffing beforehand so it's really
important that you add the the primer if
you want a good long-lasting nail tip to
step stick to your nail is just doing
this and then you make sure that they're
really dry before you move to the next
step
elroy tea now we are ready to start
applying the tips to the null bed so
what I do is I apply the the glue to my
actual nail bed and make sure that it's
evenly spread it out all over the entire
nail bed then I'm going to take the tip
and I'm also going to apply some glue to
that as well and what that does is it
advances the fact of not getting air
bubbles in the tip so that you can't see
them on the other side so that's why I
apply to two sides of it so you get on
the tip and you get on your nail and
then you just kind of slide it under
your cuticle bed just a little bit and
then you just hold it and you're just
gonna kind of rock your finger back and
forth so that way then you're getting
the air pockets out from both sides and
again like I said this is the first time
I've done this in many years
so my first thumb I did goof a little
bit I do have some air pockets on it but
it's alright it's not the end of the
world and in reality you're still
getting a good set of nails even if
there is a little air pocket there I
don't know if you can see it or not but
there's a little air pocket but it's
alright and then I just continue to do
this on all of my nails step-by-step so
that way then and yeah as you see if you
notice like any like type of nails like
rough edges or anything just take the
buffer grain just kind of buff over it a
little bit really quick before you apply
the glue so that way then it's not stuck
under the tip because it can also cause
it to snag and lift or tear off so
that's always a good reminder to make
sure that the urinals are completely
clean of any debris and you kind of want
to work fast because the glue does dry
fast so you don't want the nil the glue
to dry on your nail before you get the
tip on it because that's where you get
air bubbles to
you just hold it there holding it and
push it on both sides and then I'm just
gonna repeat that on all of my nails now
what I'm gonna be doing is taking the
base coat and a top coat and applying
one layer of both and what that's gonna
do is it's going to help make them a
little more sturdy so they're not so
bendable or pliable and that will also
help them last a little bit longer so
right here I'm applying the base coat on
my thumb and it also because these tips
have glitter it kind of protects the
glitter a little bit more so that it's
not going to chip off at all and then
I'm just going to cure my thumb
and now here I am curing the base coat
on my thumb and then I'm going to take
the top coat that I'm showing you now
and I'm going to be applying that my
thumb now so that it will have the base
and the top coat on my nails and it just
makes them look a lot more cleaner I
don't know I really like putting the gel
overlay on them and then after I'm done
applying the top coat
I will then cure that as well and then I
will be done with my thumb
you
so here I've applied the top coat on all
of my nails sorry I know that shine the
glare is awful today in my window but
this is what it looks like before I
kirim so I will now cure them and this
is my full set this is what they look
like after having a base coat and the
top coat of gel over the kiss tips I
think they look amazing like I would
think that I have just came from us
along and have my nails done okay you
