What's in my Mobile Nail Trolley?
I've been working mobile for about 6 months now and I have been caught out a few times by not having every possibility of supplies. So I've worked really hard to fit as much as I can into this trolley.
I bring a small folding table to each appointment and usually try to set up beside the clients fining table so that I can use that as extra space.
The only things I need to pack specifically for each client is the gel polish colors and any random art items that aren't very popular or that I barely ever use.
The basket of everything makes set up and take down quick and easy. I just set it on the clients table and work directly from it.

Born Pretty Mini Haul | Jelly Gel, Cats Eye, 5D & Black Spar Series
Просмотров 458Год назад
I got a few things in the mail from Born Pretty that I want to share with you. This was supposed to be a mermaid/sea theme but it didn't work out the way I planned at all. I thought the cats eye would be blue, because of its name, but I see now by the listing that it is only the collection that is called Sea Blue. There are several beautiful colors on there :) Heres the links! Cats Eye Gel born...

In hindsight , this is...
Perfect Prep | The Secret to Long Lasting Nails
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.2 года назад
Ive wanted to do a prep video for a long time. But most importantly I didnt want it to be rushed, vague or unrealistic, so here it is. Removing the cuticle properly is one of the hardest parts of preparing the natural nail for nail enhancements and equally as important as it is hard. Its a challenge to see the actual cuticle, and really tedious sometimes to remove it completely. Dont give up th...

I like Born Pretty products so I was excited to get this neon-ish set last week. Admittedly, the purple and the blue weren't really neon but they are nice colors anyways. I usually fall asleep thinking of designs I can do on nails. Sometimes I forget them by the time I have woken up, but this time I remembered and I am so glad that I did! I hope you like them and if you decide to recreate them,...

Chrome Powder on Gel Polish | 2 Different Ways
Absolutely gorgeous!! I’m stealing that if you don’t mind 😅 You are so talented well done to you 💋
You can stay away from Belleboost also. Such a plastic piece of crap
Best tutorial 🥰
Mine does not come off like this 🤣🤣 I’m here 1 hour later and I still haven’t got it off one hand. Do you build a APEX with BIAB? Wondering if mine is a lot thicker ?
@Lec2099 if you're using this exact product, it should soak off with acetone. But this video is very old and they may have changed their system. I don't use TGB anymore so I cant say for sure. Xx
My gel polish is super thick. I think its drying out.
@JKidding989 hi :) gel polish doesn't dry out per say. Some brands are thick and gloopy, some are thin and runny. If it has little clumps in it, it's been exposed to uv. Even non direct light from a window will cure it if its exposed. If its just thick, it's probably more so a brand quality issue. Xx
I need your advice. I bought BTR box French and the gel top coat keeps peeling off! Any advice I use alcohol over the nail before applying the product to help it stick.
@katarinasimeone1358 hiya :) alcohol won't make the nail sticky for application. If that's all you have, but the nails to take the shine off, then wipe with alcohol, then carry on with the application of your polish. I prefer to just wipe them with acetone as it melts the nail slightly, leaving a sticky surface . Hope this helps x
This vid still helped me with a very niche problem in 2024. Thank you! 😂
Why all my glossy nail polishes are turning matte when I'm applying it on plastic nails
@nilima_sasmal I'm not sure, usually it is the topcoat that gives the nails a shiny or matte finish. The polish you're using on the plastic nails should have the same effect that they have on natural nails. I have seen air dry polishes behave erratically when used in extreme hot or cold temperatures. I'd reccomend applying a shiny Topcoat over the nails. If you're using gel polish, it is normal for the colors to be matte ( if you wipe them off after curing, which you wouldn't normally do. ) it is the topcoat that provides the shine. Sorry if that didn't help at all, it's hard to advise without knowing the specifics of the brand and technique that you're using. X
That is so incredibly helpful!!
Yes you were correct my patients really was paper thin
Do you have to let the paint sit any amount of time before applying top coat (will it smear)
@micheleevans9661 yes :) just a few minutes is enough. X
I wish you showed when you put them on lol
@@OmaymaOmayma77 sorry! There's another video somewhere in here that I apply them xx
This is super helpful. I was struggling with french tips. Thank you .
@@cindyholland363 that's awesome, I'm glad it helped! Have fun :)
THANKS SO MUCH
Hi! Quick question. If i have a nail polish remover with acetone, can i just use that? I dont know if it willl work the same. And for nails like this, can you use normal bail polish and let it dry overnight, or do you need gel polish? Im a teenager on a budget, and I'd like to learn to paint my press-ons.
@Choaticsibling1111 hi! Yes, regular nail polish remover with acetone is fine :) regular nail polish is fine too, but it takes a while to dry. 24hrs is probably enough depending on how thick they are painted. The problem arises when you press down on the nail to apply it, if it's not 100% dry it will leave a fingerprint in the polish. I'd reccomend painting one extra nail, that you'll be able to test if it's completely dry without worrying about wrecking it :) have fun!
I just started making my own press on nails and I went and bought all kinds of full cover nail tips but I noticed a lot of them were soft gel tips and not plastic.. could I still use the soft gel tips like this?
@NightBorne2 hi 👋 yes those are fine. Lots of people prefer those type anyways as they are less likely to break, and mould to the natural nail easier. Have fun!
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie Thank you so much!!!
BEST TUTORIAL!!!!! i've never been a fan of adhesive tabs because they never felt secure enough... but this made me feel so confident!!!!
Don't you have to use foil glue?
@@linnlinn876 I only use foil glue if it's a full cover design. Anything else , I just use the tacky layer of the cured gel. Xx
Thank you !
If u stick them to your nails what makes the nail stick
Very good tutorial!
Even on natural nails, filing the underneath and tops of the nails after filing the length down, is so satisfying 😂
I didn't order these as I didn't know wtf I was doing with powders! Lol... but this tutorial was straight to the point and so easy to follow! Tysm! 1 question: Did you cure the 1st coat of white, then leave the 2nd tacky? Or did you not cure either?
Hi! I'm glad it has helped. Pigment powders are really versatile and fun to use in other ways, too, so you should get some! Each coat of polish is cured. The tacky layer is created by curing. Some polishes cure with no tacky layer though, if that happens then just flash cure for 10 sec ( or more, you'll have to experiment which gives you the best sticky finish for the powders to cling to) and make sure to cure fully after applying the powder to reduce the risk of allergies from uncured product. Hope this helps xx
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie omg TYSM for yr help!! 💗 I definitely subscribed...💗💗💗
These are only sticky on one side I don’t get it????
They're sticky on both sides. You need to peel off the protective layer x
Amazing love ❤️
Excellent instructions Thanks
Thank you!!!
💅 bravissima 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing video! But can i re-use the adhesive tabs ? 🤔
Thanks ! You could kind reuse them for a quick fix but they'll never be as sturdy as when you first applied them x
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie ok tysm 😊
Thank you for the video! This is super helpful!
Omg I need to get the thermal gels and the glow in the dark
Its 2024 and just found your video! Started doing polygel nails and have the water transfer sticker. My research led me here. Thank you so much!
What if you dont have gem gek?
You can just set them in topcoat but it won't last as long. If you have a builder gel, or acrylic, you can use those too. :)
This helped me so much because I wanted to design my nails before putting them on! Thank you!!
Thats great to hear 😊
Why not put 5 on 1 stick?
Sometimes I would put several on a stick, it's hard to get the free edge if it has stick underneath it though. Do what works best for you :)
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie Girl you’re quick, I’m still watching it 😆
@@hershekissed 😆😆😆
I love your videos! Youre hilarious and i love that youre Scottish too, like me :)
Thank you so much 💓 I'm actually Canadian but I've been married to a Glaswegian for a very long time so my accent gets confused sometimes! 😆😆 I love that you thought I was Scottish. That's the biggest compliment 😊
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie oh!!!! Haha! That makes sense! My husband is Canadian, so I understand!
@gmitc089 wow! We are like opposites! How funny 😁
Omg i was trying so hard😭😭😭 thank youuu
You wasted my time
I bought the metallic gold and silver and when I use it to make a design on my nail, it doesnt cure under the light... what am I doing wrong
If it's 100% the same as when you applied it, your light isn't suitable. But if you're just wiping it off and some color is coming off but the design remains, just don't wipe it, and apply a topcoat.
The wiping nails with acetone instead of buffing, for gel to stick?!? Genius 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I spent 3 hours on it😅😅😅 Thank you for this 1 sec tutorial ❤️
hi there can i also use a magnetic cat eye at the top of chrome nails ?
Hello, Yes you can layer magnetic over chrome : )
What nib did you get with the pen? I like that mandala
It came with a bunch of wee nibs, but I don't think I ended up using them . They seemed irrelevant. 🤔
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie what's the name of the pen, I'm looking to buy one. AliExpress has alot of stuff and cannot decide I was thinking of maybe something else
@samanthanicholson9015 if you look for a nail art calligraphy pen you should find it. In all honesty, it's not something that I used very often, because I find it easier to free hand with a detail brush but it is a cool option to have, and usually they're inexpensive.
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie oh great and thanks, the brush I have seems to rotate off if I hit towards the end...I need to practice but I. Oval or curves it isn't doing good I do better free hand draw on paper.
@samanthanicholson9015 it certainly pays to invest in some high quality brushes and gel paint. If you're using brushes from Ali Express or similar and Gel polish, you would benefit trying something from a reputable company that specialises in nail art. Either way, keep practicing and you'll keep improving! Xx
Have you tried using different colors is it hard to clean between them?
It's dead easy to switch colors, just rinse it out with water :)
How do you get your cuticles so clean? Mine are terrible 😅
Consistent Hydration is key :)
U explained it beautifully and clear thank u ..🙏
Thank you for the tutorial 🙏:) I just bought the Bluesky Hard Gel in white and I'm hoping it won't chip to easily and maybe strengthen my natural nails.
Do you have to file the shine off? If so I don’t think I’ll be doing my own press on I want my nails healthy and not filed thin
No you don't need to. Just remove cuticle from the nail plate and ensure the natural nail is clean, dry and free from oils. :)
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie ok great
I saw suzie using speedball ink ,its screen printing ink.
Do you need top coat for that or not? That's a definite wow!
It's cool eh! Definitely takes some getting used to but can be really effective. Yes, definitely topcoat or it will wear away very easily.
