My gel X nail journey 💕💅🏻
I do my own at home and there’s so many benefits !
1) it’s way cheaper to learn how to do your nails, then going to a salon
2) when you go to the salon and if they mess up your nails, sometimes you get shy to correct them so if you mess up your own nails is your own full and you have no one to blame but yourself
3) it teaches you patience
4) practice makes perfect
5) it’s super easy to do !
how I do my nails !
🛍Brand: Beatles (Amazon)
First, I filed down my nailbeds to get them dull
Next i dehydrate my nails using a no dehydrator or alcohol wipes
Next I use a prime and prep for gel x extensions so they don’t lift
Next, I find the nail extension that fits my nail bed
Next, I take my basecoat I put it in layer on my nail bed and a thick layer on the nail extension
Next, I put it on on a 90° angle and press it down and make sure there’s no air bubbles and I cure it with the lamp 60 seconds
After a cure, all of them, I go in with the polish, and after every color with the polish I cure underneath for 30 seconds once I’m done with the polish, I go in with the topcoat and I cure it for 60 seconds !

Gel X nails have become a popular choice for those looking to create beautiful, long-lasting manicures at home. The process is not only budget-friendly but also allows for complete customization of nail designs. One of the key benefits of learning to do your own nails is the savings on salon visits, making it an economical choice. Additionally, any mishaps during the application process are solely yours to manage, which can be a great learning experience. The Gel X application method is user-friendly, making it accessible for nail art enthusiasts of all skill levels. To start, proper preparation of your natural nails is crucial. This includes filing down the nail beds and using products like dehydrators and primers to ensure the best adhesion of the gel extensions. Once prepared, selecting the correct nail extensions that fit your nail beds perfectly will prevent lifting during wear. After applying the gel base coat and curing it under a lamp, it's important to layer the nail polish and seal with a topcoat for a flawless finish. Many users report that patience and practice lead to impressive results over time, as perfecting the application technique can be very satisfying. With so many online resources and tutorials available, embarking on your own Gel X nail journey can be exciting and rewarding. Embrace the artistry of nail design and experiment with different styles and colors to express your personal flair while enjoying the relaxation that comes from DIY beauty routines.
I would build a solan for my wife but she don’t even have the patience to learn I’ve tried hundreds of times and turns into her being grumpy rest of the day. I’m good I’ll keep $120 in budget for her nails monthly.
