You CANNOT remove gel this way, its very harmful to the nail plate, its always better to file it down to a thin layer with a file. If in the long run you remove the gel like in this video, your nails will become papery and break. I am a nailteck from Russia. I know what I'm talking about. Please be gantle to your nails bebe

the fact you were watching dylan is in trouble makes it all even better

Nah there is no rubber base so the hard material will come off with a bit of pressure applied and the inside probably looks wonky too without drilling it out.

"i know it's not perfect" it's literally perfect

This is a clear hard builder gel. Extremely hard, like glass! You don't need a base coat with this product. It's very thick in application, self-leveling, so you can add an apex simply by turning your nail upside down... wait a few seconds then cure. Float slowly to avoid air-bubbles.

Wait, you dont need a base coat with builder gel? Or just hard gel, or just this specific product? I recently got some Madam Glam potted builder gels in clear, nude pink, and white, and planned to do this for my thumb nail that broke! my nail experience lies in regular polish and gel x extensions so I only know those processes 😭 Over the last year ive been learning about gel and all the different nail mediums and its awesome but omg I feel like the process is so different for each different nail medium (acrylic, gel x, this) while also being similar enough that I get really confused. Anyway, what all do I need to do an extension with builder gel? And how to I know if this MG builder gel is hard or soft gel

@ricki3b

28 күн бұрын

If you proper prep, but I don't use a bascoat with this gel. It doesn't lift w/o a basecoat. You can use hard or soft gel for an overlay on natural nails. This gel is very hard. Hard gel or soft get is really just a preference. I tend to lean toward hard gel, because I'm rough on my hands and w/ soft gel my nails break more easily. I use both at times. For me, hard gel lasts longer.

You watch Dylan too? Yay!😊

LOOOVE THE NAILS AND OMG DYLAAAAN!! Not only do you have the best taste in nail designs but ALSO in watching ytbers ahaha

PRO TIP: You CAN file natural nails back and forth to get some length down quick but stop a millimeter before and one way file the rest! (I was blessed with strong hard nails so filing them down every few weeks would take forever so I just go ham on length and be gentle when I get to my desired length.. if I try to clip them, i still have to clip them far from the length i want because they snip off crooked or jagged sometimes)

please watching Dylan while doing nails is such a ritual for me

Wait what, it's absolutely freaking perfect

The current science says that the back and forth is fine on your natural nail as long as you’re not using a super coarse file. I think people are still being trained with the one way filing in school though.

Looks hella real nail

The algorithm is ALGORITHMING

Hey! I am a nail tech! I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that this product is not a one phase BIAB. For all of my BIAB or regular builder overlays I always use 1 coat young nails protein bond and one coat of a good quality clear rubber base. That combined with proper prep and they will last you up to 4 weeks.

Most builder gels are supposed to move. It allows the nail tech to build a whole nail with one bead. You can buy super thick gels that don't move as much but they can be tricky to use. You did a great job! The nail looks so natural!! BTW, forms are a special art to put on. You did well to get it to fix after only 3 tries.

The color match is AWESOME

WHEN I TELL U MY HEART DROPPED TO MY STOMACH WHEN SHE TOOK OFF THAT FAKE NAIL IN THE FIRST PART I REALLY MEAN IT…-

Builder gel has been a LIFESAVER for my natural nails, they've never ever been this strong or long

That looked so real! 🤯 Maybe I should invest in a lamp and builder gel for breaks.

Orly it’s the best!! I love it

That looks perfect! I mean spot on! I could barely see the seam between the two. You’re a color matching wizard. And I’ve been practicing with forms and builder gel for a couple years now and you outdid me with your first go.

well done

You can try to put the little circle part on the back of the edge of the tip. Its what i do when i use forms and, It makes it more sturdy and will help with shaping it to your nails!! In my humble opinion, that is.😊

Idk if anyone else has mentioned this, but there are different consistencies among builder gels. That being said, you'd be better off using polygel to actually build the nail, then a layer of builder gel for strength.

attempt 2 definitely found you the fix you needed comparing this to the falsey, wow!

You did great! Hard gel isnt too easy, and looks super messy on the form bc of its light consistency(even when us nail techs do it), its all about the shaping afterwards lol
