Hi Taylor, Can you make a video from start to finish on dipping with it including how to apply the builder gel, peel base buffing etc then leading into dip? I love watching your lives but would love a video or even a live of how everything is done from the very beginning.

Thank you! I would say short square with tapered edges 🙂

Do you fill the gelly tips the same way? Would love a video for that process!

Actually filling belly tips is much more simple! Still file off the shiny top layer, remove and lifting areas if there are any, reshape the tips if needed and then do a gel base up to the cuticle covering the entire nail, fully cure and then do a gel top coat up to the cuticle covering the entire nail and fully cure that and you're done! The Gelly tips are clear and super thin at the cuticle so just gel base & top is all you need! :)

Can you use a basic rubbing alcohol with a lint free wipe for the “primer” or is it the same thing as “bond” that comes with the dip liquids

No and no. Primer is a type of liquid that leaves a sticky layer and is only meant to be used with gel liquids like builder gel to help it adhere during curing! Bond is only meant to be used with dip liquids and that one will dry out the nail bed and remove excess oils. Bond should not be used with gels. For gels i would recommend Dehydrator to remove excess oils!

No and no, primer is specific for gel products. Bond is only meant for dip liquids.

Are your nails brittle? Or is the builder gel helping to protect them from getting brittle?

@ManisByTaylor

My natural nails are naturally brittle and not strong. Builder gel keeps them strong in between manicures :)

So with peel off base, whatever you put on top, will only last a few weeks at most??

Every 1-2 weeks!

What lamp do you use to cure the gel builder?

@ManisByTaylor

For Builder Gel you will need a UV/LED lamp that is at least 48 watts, however I prefer to have it closer to 100 watts. Here is a link to the lamp I use! www.amazon.com/dp/B08H24FH1V?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamztaylo06a-20&creativeASIN=B08H24FH1V&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.2FEQ9LM5LEYVX&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_mixed_d_asin
