I just recently bought a clear builder gel, but it is my first time using it, so I guess it’s not going to be perfect right away because I had some issues with flooding on the sides of my nails. However, I have been doing nails for four years so with each new product it takes time.

@audriiiiroberts3030

8 ай бұрын

Get a super duper thin nail brush, and lightly brush the sides with it before curing. Also, try holding your finger upside down for like six or seven seconds before curing. I think it brings the gel into the center of your nail I’m not a tech though, these are just things I’ve learned watching KZread videos. I’ve been doing builder gel for almost a year now

@LightEleganceHQ

8 ай бұрын

Yes, each viscosity and gel can behave differently and have a learning curve! For quick self-leveling gels, try applying only 1-2 nails at a time and curing before moving on to the others (thumbs should always be done separately). You can also flash cure as well!

Sorry for the ultranOob question! Is the slip layer just a thin layer of builder? Is it cured? Do you use primer over the old layer or just over the naked nail bit (or skip altogether for a fill)? TIA pros 😊

@LightEleganceHQ

3 ай бұрын

A slip layer is a thin application of uncured gel that is placed before the "bulk" of your product is added to help the builder gel self level faster and move into place. Builder gel should always be applied to a properly prepped nail and we always recommend using a bonding agent for best adhesion and longer wear.

Nails dont need to breathe. I purposefully use sheers and nudes, so i can see if a problem is forming. So i'll continue to do what is best for my body, and you keep telling your clients that they need a soakoff, so you csn sell them an additional service.

According to a few women i follow on YT, one being a nail tech since the 80s and who has her own website and sells her own nail products. From acrylic to gel. And provides classes. She said that you don't have to soak off your nails after 3-4 fills. You dont have to soak them off, at all. If they were done correctly, theres no need to soak them off. Its just a ploy to get more money out of clients.

@LightEleganceHQ

4 ай бұрын

This can be true for some clients, especially if they are wearing a durable hard gel such as our Lexy Line! However, with a soakable builder gel such as this JimmyGel, they are porous and depending on the client's lifestyle and natural nails, the gel can break down overtime (exposure to water, chemicals, acetone overtime etc) and if you start to see any lifting, pockets or more wear, it can be time to freshen up with a new set.

I only found out recently that you can fill builder gel! I need to redo my nails for a party at the weekend so this reminded me! Im trying to grow my natural nails 😊

What is the pink color on one of your fingers?

Why do you only recommend 2-3 fills? Genuinely curious as I'm learning to do fills now (did my first today)!

@LightEleganceHQ

3 ай бұрын

Congrats on your first fill! It really depends on the client and how hard they are on their nails or if they are in and out of liquid a lot which can eventually wear down soak off gels. Most importantly, we are trying to avoid lifting so if you take good care of your nails and do your aftercare you can most likely get away with more fills! If you are wearing a hard gel such as our Lexy Line, you can fill endlessly as long as you look out for lifting or pockets since hard gels are more resistant to water/chemicals etc

Have you cured the slip layer?

You can apply JimmyGel over Acrylic, however, if you were going to fill the grown out acrylic, we would recommend complete removal of the acrylic and starting with JimmyGel as JimmyGel is much more flexible than acrylic

God the amount of people in the comments giving advice without actually having been through a full 2-4 year course with full length daily classes, actually having to study beyond just application, having had the guidance of actual professionals whose job it is to stay up to date, to know all the new tips and tricks surrounding nails. Needing to pass multiple exams and earning an actual certificate. Not to mention the people who work as a nail tech and use that as “proof” of their knowledge, while being uneducated with the 10 day 1-2 hour a day classes they had taken on basic application from whoever had the lowest rate.

Why do you recommend 2-3 fills before starting fresh? Is it to prevent lifting?

@LightEleganceHQ

9 ай бұрын

This is mostly preference, as long as the product is still adhered and there is no lifting or pockets. Because JimmyGel is a soak off gel, it is more porous than our Lexy Line hard gels, so a fresh set may be needed if a client is harder on their nails! It's always important to properly inspect the integrity of the product when filling each service!
