You are a Hoot to watch! Keep doing you

💃🏻thanks! I’m looking for a simple way to extend and/or fortify my natural nails before doing nail stamping or fancy polishes, yet I still prefer my nails not too long.

Thanks for this tutorial!

Those are considered short? Lol that’s the length I’m trying to get to! Lol

Thank you! 💃🏻

Hi , do i have to buff after gel ? If i want to carry on top coat on the top ?

I'm just starting to use the structure gel, I apply one thin coat onto foundation coat and then i was applying gel polish. Is it neccessary to buff the stucture layer and if so do I need to cleanse nail before doing polish? Thanks Tonja , I enjoy your videos your fellow Ontarian

Cute.

I have short thin nails and bought the Gelish clear structure gel to add strength and harden my nails and wanted to know do I need to cleanse the structure gel before applying the gel color or can I simply apply it after I cure the structure gel?

🕺

Thx

Wait don’t you cure anything in between coats? Looks like you cleansed without curing..

Does this gel structure make your nail hard because I’m looking for a gel that makes the nail hard the reason is because I have my long nails or my own and they are very thin & im looking for something to put over so they can be thick.

It will certainly add thickness and strength to your nails!

If you were going to put polish over this would you use another base?

Hi! Informative video ;) I have a questions about prep-I have the ProBond but not the pH Bond. Can a 70% alcohol wipe do the job of pH Bond? Also, someone “officially trained” by Gelish overseas told me that ProBond was not appropriate with Structure, only pH Bond; do you know anything about how Structure reacts with or holds onto these 2 bonders?

Use any bond go with the base gel you use before apply the structure coat

How well (easily) does this soak off if I'm using the whole system?

@TonjaWatts

I don’t think it soaks off as well as just gel polish. But it is possible if you’re patient. I prefer to file off product in general anyway.

Can you use regular nail polish on the structure gel. And use the gel top coat?

@TonjaWatts

I wouldn’t recommend using regular polish with a gel topcoat unless the polish is 100% dry. Which is about 24 hours.

Have you used this as an extension? Over a tip or sculpture to build a nail enhancement?

Hello, any reason that you didnt build up the apex or short nails dont need a build up? Thanks new to this

My understanding is that short nails don't need an apex like long ones do. Nail Career Education has a video on short nails that talks about this.

since I buff or finish file, the product would be removed from the tip. so i just dont bother. I haven't had any problems thus far. But I always cap the tips of gel polish, top coat, ect.

Nice video, the only information missing that would be good to add is how long do you cure each coat, yes it’s on the bottles, but different technicians use different curing times.

I always follow manufacturer cure times. They are there for a reason.

I'm thinking of using this as an underlayment so that I don't have to totally remove my gel for polish changes.

Hey there! I have a question related to this product. I bought the clear version of the Gelish brush on structure gel... I've done everything in this tutorial except the Gelish primer because I dont have that. Does it really make a big difference to use it?? I'm getting frustrated because I'm getting lifting especially at the free edge of my fingernail...do u have any suggestions for me? Thanks!

Hmmm. I generally try to used the prep products that are part of the system, the pro bond is kind of like double sided tape and adds additional adhesion. But I also feel like its a marketing scam haha. first try removing the oils from the nail with rubbing alcohol and maybe try even thinner coats or maybe even one coat of the structure gel before spending the extra money. I have found that the more flexible the natural nail, the thinner the product, allows it to flex with the nail without lifting. and dont forget cuticle oil!! If you're still having an issue than I would try the pro bond. Everyone's nails are different, I dont NEED the probond but my mum and sister do. I hope this helped! thanks for watching!!!

Primer, like Gelish ProBond, may be unnecessary for some nails, like mine. It will make removal more difficult, but if you’re getting lifting, ProBond may be worth it. Prep products, like “pH Bond” dehydrate and remove oils from the nail, and are usually a mix of alcohol and acetone. If your prep includes using alcohol to clean the nail, you may not see much benefit from products like pH Bond, but following manufacturers’ directions is always the safer way.
