HOW TO: Beginners Guide to Easy BUILDER GEL with DUAL FORMS

FRIENDS!!! I am so happy to be able to share with you this new trick I have learned for the EASIEST builder gel extensions EVER! This is exactly why I wanted to make a YT channel, to be able to share tips that will make your life SO. MUCH. EASIER! This is one of them.
.
I was watching one of @melissasmanis YT videos and I saw her use the dual forms for applying builder gel. I faithfully always use my builder gel for extensions, but up until this point, for the whole last year since I have been dipping, I have been using the PAPER forms. Dual forms? Hmmmm I remember I bought a pack last summer with polygel, tried them 1 time and put them away. I have never tried them with BUILDER GEL! Immediately I said to my fiancé, I HAVE TO GO TRY THIS!
.
It’s a rare moment when you try something new that is as easy as it looks. This is one of those times. I couldn’t believe it. I did an entire BG extension set in under 10 minutes. That is from start to finish, shaped and topcoat! Get out of here. Happy birthday to me!! LOL
.
I tagged all of the supplies I used in this video - - but really, I think any brand products will work just the same. As I explain in the video, I tried this method with a thinner self-leveling BG and it kept breaking on me, because this method allows for extremely THIN layers (YAY), with the thinner BG liquids, it is just too thin. I had to add extra layers on top - which required filing to smooth the top…. With this HARD gel BG - 1 layer in the form - shape the nail bed and file the top ridge - boom YOU’RE DONE!
.
I really hope this helps someone change their practice as it has changed mine!! It is def way easier, requires less skill and WAY LESS TIME!
.
.
.•••I hope you've been inspired!!

    Look, I tried two weeks ago this technique and its works wonders ! I tried polygel/acrygel and VSP, gel X, many others and damn this technique with duals forms and biab is the most strong and long-term for my nails. I don't apply VSP or gel UV color over this, I apply classic nail polish so I can change the color wtih ease (I get tired of color really fast) and yup, it works !

    OMG! I’m so glad I found you, this has been a game changer starting with the lamp upside down trick. I have small nail beds too so the method you use is phenomenal. Well done 👏🏻 I’m using ibd too! All I have to do now is find my dual forms. Your using coffin shape I think but you could file into an almond or stiletto. That’s what I do if I use coffin or square tips. After overlay, I file a shape I want 🤷🏻‍♀️ You’re a 🌟 and I have subscribed. Wish me luck 🍀💅🏻🇬🇧

    AMAZING JOB!! 👍🏾👍🏾 I have the Triple D dual forms and will definitely be giving this a try!! I might also give it a try using Triple D’s Acrygel (the milky white one). I’m curious to see how it would work as well. I also have the pink Cupcake flash cure lamp by Triple D and I love using it when I apply my full cover gel tips, but I think it would be perfect for this as well. However, I think the way you use your nail lamp to flash cure is genius….just need to keep a pair of shades 😎 close by!! 😉

  • @BrittsDips

    @BrittsDips

    Жыл бұрын

    I think it might be just preference. These can last longer because you can 'fill' them. Whereas the tips just grow out and need to be changed. I prefer this method because I have flatter nail beds, and tips sometimes gap up on me and don't entirely stick. This conforms to your nail shape. Help this helps!!!

    Before you pur it in the lamp, you can flip your hand over and take your brush and smooth any bulk that gunked up. Then cure. When I do this, I mess the whole thing up. Lol. So if I need to, I can take my fine sand bit (perfect size) and file underneath to get that smooth rounded shape , but honestly, the underneath is great without me doing that! I think I am putting thin enough layers than it's not getting bulked up there! Did I answer your Q? I feel like maybe I didn't 🤣🤣 lmk!!!

    Hi Friend! I am so sorry on my delay of seeing your message!!! You may have a lamp that has a lower intensity, which would require more time curing. My is a 48 w LED/UV lamp. Those specs should work for you! You don't have to purchase a super expensive one, but make sure it's both LED and UV and at least 48 watts

    Hi!! They lasted until I needed a fill, BUT for the last year I have been only using 'rubber base gel' , nothing else, and I haven't broken a nail, chipped polish, nothing. I do mma and I am able to keep my nails longer and healthy. I recommend looking in to the rubber base gel, it comes in clear and colors. When i do the color one, I put 2 layers of clear down first, then a few layers of color. When I do clear, I do about 4 thin layers. I have also done 2 layers of clear rubber base, a layer of GEL color, and then 2 layers of clear rubber base. I haven't broken a nail in over a year, it's insane and I highly recommend. It's stronger and tougher than gel (doesn't let your nails bend) but doesn't chip or lift like dip. Incredible. You can find some how to videos on IG for it. I love the brand moon dust dip co -clear rubber base gel. 10/10 best clear. I do not recommend madam glams rubber base, it doesn't toughen.
