How to do a long-lasting home manicure
头发和指甲可以是任何装备最好的配件，并没有什么很为沮丧的发现在刚涂指甲的芯片。I’ll be honest, I’ve been a gel manicure kind of gal on my fingernails for a few years now, but as my life is getting busier, I’m finding that I want to spend less and less time sitting in the chair at the nail salon for an hour. Don’t get me wrong, it’s very nice to have an hour of quiet where I can turn my brain off, but I’m always trying to find the right concoction of products for a long-lasting home manicure that won’t chip on day 2!
比抛光应用程序本身更重要的是准备工作。我认为这将是最有帮助的演示每一步，所以你可以在下面看的！
是多么可悲啊我的彩色涂层和面漆盖？Essie派了几个颜色的凝胶时装收集和在打开我意识到美丽的红色色调打破了包，coveredeverything. I spent a bit of time with a cotton ball and nail polish remover to remove the spilled polish from the area where the cap twists on and off so it wouldn’t stick, but then I moved on to another project (probably laundry, to be honest).
所以，是的，它是难看，但我想告诉你新的凝胶时装如何适用，要显示终点有多好。这是较厚的，在我看来，比普通指甲油，但还是很容易申请。
Products and tools:Essie Gel Couture Haute to Trot，Essie Gel Couture Top Coat，Essie 3-way Glaze，OPI Bond Aid，Julep Vanish，死皮钳，死皮推，nail file，指甲缓冲区
the bracelet I’m wearing is from Maya Brenner and I wear it every single day。::心脏眼睛的表情符号::
*在照片中的抛光是原Essie上光剂。我凝胶时装抛光不完全的照片准备好了，你会看到在视频！对不起，任何混乱。此外，它不要求您使用凝胶时装底漆，我刚刚与它的伟大成果！

I looked at the Essie gel but ended up buying the butter. According to the Essie, it only works with Essie polish, and my polish collection is butter. The butter brand also says it will work with other brands.
I’m pretty happy with it. My polish lasted for a week without chipping and is still going pretty strong and I cook and do dishes everyday multiple times a day.
Will Essie work with other nail polish brands? Anyone tried?
是!我已经与其他品牌一样OPI用了一年。爱它！
I was told you should never buff your nails because it weakens the layers of the nail bed. True?
我当然可以看到如何将是真实的，我只是分享我的指甲是什么在起作用！
凯特你好！我一直在尝试新的Essie凝胶颜色近来，太。是什么见上图？那些看起来像普通Essie瓶作为新凝胶的有“扭曲”。
答应了，她并没有包括正确的瓶子。
我想知道同样的事情。
你是正确的。凝胶时装是扭曲的looking bottles. The top coat she is using in the straight bottle is the Gel Setter top coat. I did not get to watch the video so it is perhaps correct in there, but the pictures are not the gel couture bottles.
My gel couture bottles were massacred from a broken red polish and looked horrific in the photos. You’ll see all the steps I take in the video!
哦，太难过了，红色的指甲油你的盒子爆发！我一直很期待去尝试这些。我很高兴知道你喜欢他们。我总是知道一个产品是一个必买，如果你正在使用它！
Hey, saw your snap chat about Lukie. His rash may be something called Hand, foot, mouth disease. NOT as scary as it sounds. Look it up. ?
It’s not. Thanks for your concern!
很高兴听到！？
是否Essie凝胶线需要的时间比原来的指甲油干？（我需要擦亮，可以在休息时间干？
LOVED this tutorial!! I had no idea I was using too much polish when I forced (blobbed) polish into the sides of my nails! No wonder my polish always peels! This video is a GAME.CHANGER! But I may have to lift my self-imposed moratorium on buying nail polish and try your Essie gel polish. I sort of have a teensy problem when it comes to resisting new nail polish. *guilty smile*
Hey Kate! I’ve been wanting to try this so thanks so much for your review! Questions though…do you have to soak in acetone to remove? How long between coats do you allow it to dry? I understand there aren’t any UV lamps needed to dry. Thanks again!
无需在丙酮中浸泡，我让干燥约1分钟，没有灯！
You’re totally right. I used to get gel manicures for years but now I honestly don’t have the time. Plus it can get very pricey. I just get regular manicures but I prefer a salon over doing it myself. If I do it myself, my nails chip by the next day! I need to learn how to get better at it! PS- the Essie color is amazing!! Perfect for summer.

我很好奇把键助剂和底涂层上与新essie凝胶抛光。我有它，只让我的指甲一个星期，不使用底漆或债券援助。任何人使用新essie琢磨，什么你的经验了？
I’ve only been getting 3 days with the Essie Gel Couture set
same! I notice it starts wearing away at the tips and if I do a pedi and put shoes on (even over 24 hours later), it’s ruined when I take my shoes off.
这个颜色是漂亮的!我爱埃西,the most wonderful selection of colors. I always have the hardest time doing at home manicures! I can never sit still long enough to let them dry!

你的指甲看起来很漂亮！我还没有尝试过的凝胶时装essie，但经常essie似乎芯片很容易地。我有一个与他们的锚底漆和面漆装甲沿着卓娅抛光好运。
我希望我能处理我的指甲抛光的感觉，他们看起来好漂亮！我的指甲薄让它感觉就像我的手是无法忍受的肮脏。我被困在羡慕别人马尼斯远道而来（虽然凝胶修指甲我得到了我的婚礼让我感到非常SOOOO）
This post popped up at perfect time, I was about to do my manicure, and your step by step is really helping. Thank you <3

Love this post! Neat.
Hi, while this was informative, I found it distracting that the bottles you used were completely out of sight and unsightly. It seemed awkward to have to reach so far to get from the bottle to your nails. Plus, we couldn’t see what you were using. I know you showed us but there was some confusion as to which product you were actually using. Also, your technique wasn’t the best. Or, maybe it was because the polish is thick. It looked kind of gloopy in the video. Sorry, don’t mean to be a downer, but I expected better.
I didn’t want to knock the bottles over so I intentionally kept them away. And the polish is thicker than usual. I intentionally chose that polish to demo it because it’s new.
这是一个伟大的视频！与往常一样，你做了了不起的工作！我觉得你的技术是完美的！有些人只是一直在寻找什么可抱怨的。感谢您抽出宝贵时间，使视频！
I love these tips, cuticle care is such an important step!

Hi Kate, I’m just curious–how many days did your Gel Couture mani last? I tried it with a base coat and mine started to lift from my nail after three days. I repainted without a base coat and it lasted 10 days. I’m just curious about your experience because I’d much rather use a base coat, especially with darker colors. Thank you for your help with this and all your other insights!!
I have the same question! I use gel polish with the uv lamp & it will last 3 weeks!! Down side, is that the polish sort of buns my nails when under the lamp…Yikes! that can’t be healthy! I’ll switch, if this version last longer than a week.
Also, I absolutely adore your youtube channel! I feel like you are my personal hair- stylist-BFF, Kate! Thanks for all you do. <3
Your nails look great but have you ever tried Jamberry? I’d love to see a review of that!
Love these steps and tutorial!! I’m guilty of the no-prep, quick polish after putting my son to bed. I need the Vanish cuticle remover ASAP! I was gifted some cute nail polish colors for my birthday and in the bunch was the wet n wild 1 step wonder gel … It is way better than I imagined. Super cute colors, decent coverage, quick drying and has held up quite nicely this summer, even with lots of swimming!! In case you’re in the market for another polish to try!! Thanks for the great posts and tutorial. You have for sure helped me step up my makeup, hair, nail & mom game ?
我想大多数今天这个的，订货的事情，我不能在目标搞定！我喜欢这个教程，谢谢！<3
嗨，凯特，我喜欢这个视频，想购买的去黑头已逝我的角质层，但无法找到它的去黑头网站或亚马逊你能推荐到哪里买呢？谢谢！

谢谢！
Have you ever used Revlon’s Color Stay Gel Envy collection? So far this is the only polish collection that looks acceptable by the end of day 2 on my nails. So I am curious how it compares to the Essie collection.
我能买去黑头角质层软化和去除任何商店或做我必须买它从Julip网站？
I’ve only ever bought it online!
去黑头可以在商店出售。我知道黄油伦敦现在是在商店出售。
Sounds like a good idea. I’m trying to budget my beauty care so I’ve been doing some at-home manicures. I’m definitely going to use this as a guide.
Hi,
I can’t seem to find the nail pusher you use. The ones I get seem to really strip my nail (very harsh). Can you tell me what the name of the nail pusher is? Maybe I can find it on Amazon.
