I’m a licensed nail tech and still watched every second of this video. You explained everything amazingly! Thank you for all the amazing effort and time you’ve put into this video Joseph. You’re an absolute gem 💎🎤💕. Xx

@alicehospedales 4 years ago

I’m not a nail tech, but was looking for some fun things to do on my nails at home, and I found your instructional videos. You just make me so happy!!! Thanks for being YOU!!!!

@kimberlyvarner1208 4 years ago

This is extremely informative & I'm very proud of the job you've accomplished by taking all of your education & explaining it in one video. I'm sure a lot of gang friends would agree that if they do their own nails, we've had to watch many videos in order to get it right. I got through 45 minutes, now taking a smoke break then I will continue!

@jenmaxwell5265 4 years ago (edited)

Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us what you know. Don't EVER worry about talking too much. If someone finds it boring then they can EF off and go watch something else. Time is precious and you are taking time out of your day and helping people with information that is important. Most people charge for their time because you can't get it back and your giving it freely and your doing it comically, relaxed and fun by being yourself. Your making it enjoyable as you always do with your videos and I'm having a good time watching you and learning a lot so thank you again and don't ever change. 💖

@EllyBrownEEEE 2 years ago

This is like the whole nail course I did but a million times better ❤

@HeavenSea777 5 months ago

I have just loved listening to you. These almost 2 hours. I wish you would do more seminars like this.I love listening to you.I really do I learn so much from you, Jo!😊😊❤❤❤

@emtpwanabe 3 years ago

I’ve watched this 3 times now. I love this. It gave me some confidence to get a gel set. I’m not a professional or student but I love doing nails for the fun of it

@PalmasKin 4 years ago

I’ve been wanting to start doing my own nails and I was so confused with all the terminology. Thank you so much for your video!!! This is so informative and so useful, thank you for putting in the time to educate us :) ❤

@vattulaitti 2 years ago (edited)

I know this is a older video but it was much helpful to bring some things back freshly in mind. So thank you! Wish I had seen this when I first started.
I'm sure that some of these 900 comments have already explained or mentioned but if we are talking about actual terms of ombre and gradient, Ombre is a hue change, where the color thins/lightens out and vice versa. Gradient is a directional seamless value change, in this case shade of the color :) So rainbow is a gradient and fade out is ombre ~ Hope this helps someone.
Gonna go now watch more of your videos.

@Justarandiooo 10 months ago

This is awesome❤ I’m just 11 so I wanna practise a lot so I can start a nail business when I get older!

@HeavenSea777 5 months ago

I am learned so much. You have absolutely no idea of all the questions that I had. The amount of money that I have spent in these past few months and all the questions that I have had. And you have answered them in these 2 hours. God bless you. I'd love the way you teach. And I adore your sense of humor and I love your accent. Although you might say that we as Americans, we're the ones that have the accent. God bless you, Joe.❤❤❤❤😊😊😂😂😂

33:00 I believe that LED just refers to the type of bulb, so whether your curing lamp is marked as UV or LED, they're both producing light in the ultraviolet spectrum that will cure your gel products (LED bulbs are just more efficient and powerful, so it will cure products faster)
LOVE all the citations in the video!!! ❤

@NailsBySue 4 years ago

Don’t worry about the lemon meringue pie. We love it. But seriously, this is an incredibly coherent body of nails knowledge in one package. Thanks so much for all the info as always. X

Thank you! 🎤 I learned a lot!

@janeyeo4553 1 year ago

I love this video so much, I have it saved for when my brain is about to explode with all of the information I’m trying to remember. I’ve realised tonight that watching it all the way through after doing my course is helping everything to cement in my mind, if you’re a nail newby I highly recommend watching this more than once and at different stages of your training. so once again thank you so much Jo 🥰

@fionabangay3071 4 years ago
