Dual forms with builder gel??!!! This is brilliant!!! Thank you for the tutorial!!! Just change my life, why dontcha!

I have been doing gel tips on my hands for months. My non dominant hand is always LESS beautiful. This is perfect for me. I have so much gel product I'm glad I can use my regular gel builder on these dual forms. Thank you

You are such a great instructor, I can’t even count how many times I’ve rewatched this video (just due to my nerves before I try for the first time lol) -- but I definitely feel more comfortable because of how much you explained in detail and answered all questions I was wondering about as well!!! Thank you for the suggestions of what to purchase, I just bought the clips! This is the best video on KZread for diy builder gel + nail forms!!! :)

Actually, the best tutorial I've seen on nail forms...excellent job.

i like this girl she is informative and professional I can listen to her without irritation thank you

I just got into doing polygel/builder gel nails and this is a *lifesaver!* 💜

I really like the idea of doing the first layer half way up your nail then the second from the cuticle.. Great idea to strengthen the nail... I'm going to try this bit using tips.. first time.

DAMN IT! Well you are just so Smart! Thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful talent! I have been doing nails for over 30 years and would never have thought of using those dual forms like that. I Thank The Almighty Father for people like you in this World, so smart with talent and always a help!

You're a GREAT instructor! I'm one who always wants to know, "but WHY?" and you answer all those questions! Thanks!

Ah, me too! And how many times I've completely muffed something up doing it my own way, because I wasn't told the 'because' in the first place. That really is the mark of a good teacher--someone who answers the 'whys' before we have to ask. :)

💜Great technique❣️ I’ve seen video after video from different KZread channels and you’re the 1st one to use your technique with the forms to strengthen the stress point of the natural nail. Thank you 🙏🏽

I was going to say the same thing. The directions with the box and every other youtuber only do one later but i couldn't for the life of me get it to stop flooding under my natural nail at the tip of my finger. I was throwing in the towel and happened to heat this one keep playing as i was cleaning up and it just recharged my energy and drive to give gel a chance. Fingers crossed this technique saves the day for me!!

This method using builder gel with dual forms is fantastic! I never knew i could do this

Do you have a review video on your nail drill? If not, can you please make one? Out of all the “nail tech” KZreadrs I’ve seen, I trust your judgement the most! You don’t seem bias at all and I look forward to watching your videos :)

You do such a great job! Your nails look great and super natural!

I have a couple boxes of dual forms that I got from Sally's, the ASP brand. I've used them with acrylic before, now I'll have to give them a try with gel the next time I take off my builder gel. Great video! You make it look so easy!

Your a natural at your art. I've always struggled with correct apex strength. This is a great video. Thumbs up!

This video covers so many questions, very informative, thank you sooo much. Your nails look amazing

Beautiful,thanks for info on different forms. Money can be an option and you just helped us decide which forms to buy, hate getting things I don’t enjoy when I could have spent it elsewhere,

Ahhhhh amazing tip! Can't wait to try this with my dual forms! Should save me so much time in the salon! Thank you

Ur tutorial by far is the very best instructions on how 2use builder gel properly w/d forms n..I’ve been viewing many videos on how to learn how to use the poppit forms n builder gel properly..thank u soooo much from a new Sub.. Oh BTW..I love ur smart&calm sounding “teacher” voice😊

I have to say I am so excited to run across this video. I have watched thousands of videos over the years and I've never seen quite this process of doing the dual layers with the builder gel and this is exactly what I needed to see as I'm growing out my own nails while keeping them Secured with product. Absolutely love this and I am going to do this process in the near future. Subscribed!

This is what i call informative videos!*****

Brilliant! You can teach an old girl new tricks. Thank you. 😁

I was actually thinking of trying this myself. You’re nails came out great as usual.

Yout nails look so good&strong. Ive been wanting to try those forms for a while now. Gotta order some soon. TFS!

Love your video. .. one of the first that gets to the point nice and clear instructions. Very nicely done

I cannot get over how gorgeous your nails look!!

Nice job and good view from your camera. Really good idea for strength. Thank you for showing.

This is a nice informative video on how to apply Builder gel nails properly! You have Lovely nails! They look so clean , healthy & long!

These are absolutely gorgeous.

Fantastic Tutorial!!! I am looking to add an overlay/tiny extention and you gave such good pointers!! Thank you soo much for this video!!

Thank you for showing how to use forms, I planned on forming them freehand but this will be better for first attempt.

Well done!! Seriously, I watch tons of videos and you applied them seamlessly and smoothly, while giving great instructions. You're a step above the rest!!

What a great instructional video I have subscribed because of your professional instructions.

Super video, clear and understandable explanation. Thanks 🙌🏾

This is the best explained and show video ever thank yoy

Very natural, great job

Beautiful, missed watching your videos 👍👏💜

I loved that video and all the detail I have never put on fake nails so it made me think I could possibly do it thanks 😊

This video is so interesting I see that you have a lot of practice! Your nails are just perfect et healthy. I take care of my natural nails they are always painted but quite short i have a horse and horse and barn are a rude environment for nails that’s why that kind of process would be helpful to protect my nails but.... it seems a bit tricky for me.

I've never used gel before and now you've convinced me to buy some to try this. It looks tricky at first but I like a challenge 👍 TFS

I really like your style!

thank you for this upload

I free-handed mine and fine tuned with the drill. Gotta get some of these forms....much easier!

Thank you for this. I was curious about using builder gel with dual forms, but Ididn't know if it would work. i thought the forms might not pop off correctly. I appreciate your time.

Very nice and natural! 🥰👌

This is hard gel not polygel. Not sure if you realize that

I love your video, I was unsure of whether or not , the builder gel will work with the dual form nails. Thank you !

Thanks for explaining the top coat abt wipe/no wipe.

Great tutorial 👍🌟

Thank you so much you’re a lifesaver 🙏😅

I always hated the rubbery feel of no wipe top coats too! Lately I've tried Luxa Shine though, and I've found it cures nice and smooth and slick. So maybe give that a try.

Super Helpful 💚💚💚

This was helpful. Tfs

Amazing! This will help me so much with how my some of my nails are curved down and c curve so bad. Hard to fill in that space

Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to doing my own nails & then possibly my daughters. The last time I did mine & hers was in '97 with acrylics. Oh boy was I exhausted when done. I had do buff nearly half of the product off to get a natural look & shape! I did my daughter, her friend & mine! It was my first time, but after many hours they actually looked pretty good. And I'm not one for boasting in myself. The girls had a dance & were so excited! I do have a question though. After getting the length I want, I want to add color. Silly question, but do I use the primer next then color then the top coat? Thank you for your time & going at a pace that was perfect. God Bless you! Betty

The only video I need! Thank you! I'm a little unsure about the forms because my nails are already curved. Do you think this leaves room for enough product without ending up with talons? 😫

super, thanks

I've never done builder gel before and have some coming my way in the mail soon. This video was super informative. I can't use a nail file as I can't stand the sound or touching it. What kind of clippers did you use to trim your nails?

Great tutorial. Do u know if I can use rubber base gel vs builder gel because I’ve heard rubberbase is better for growing your own nails out. Thank you.

I love this technique! but it does take some practice. How long will these nails hold? And will they not break or come off fast?

Merci beaucoup 😊

Ma'am, have you ever made your own polygel? I've watched some of your videos and see you order and have used many different polygels but I am curious to know if you would venture out to make your own? I have seen a few youtubers make polygel, interested in your take on this. Thank you

So since you used the orly easy off base coat can you soak the nails off?? How would you remove these nails??

Hi, please do you have a link for the thick lintfree wipes.. i can only find the thin wipes.. You used the wipes with tiny holes in them.. Hope you know where to buy them (international)

When I tried to do this with regular hard gel, the pop it just lifted off my nail and slid around. I don't understand what I did wrong. It didn't work at all with my regular gel using the pop its. 🤔😭 Do you have a link for those nail clips? That is what I need. 😁 💜

Nice but in other words, how many coats did you do with the dual forms lease? I got a bit lost and the camera was far too near the nails.

Great video. Where did you get the nail "clips" you used in the video to hold the nail down to prevent popping up?

I wonder if it would be better to just do the cuticle area by hand and put the gel on the second application only in the middle and edge?

Please lindfree wipes with the little holes..??

Hi. I love all the direction and shots and angles you give us. I've added pretty much everything or have similar at home but I'm in love with your nail shape. My one question is which of the 3 forms in the description do you use here? I heard you say you like those because of the natural shape it gives, which I absolutely love. I just want the right nail forms.

When you apply the second coat do you use a larger form or the same one?

If you are watching this and find that final press under the light has air pockets on the nail bed, try practicing your technique using a drop of hand sanitizer in the form over the bare nail rather than gel. You find out where the pressure points are to release bubbles with way less sticky mess.

How do you get the nail to stay down? Mine pop up? I use Orly builder in a bottle

Can I do the same with gel nail polish ? The last overlay?

Was the file size 340 used for buffing your nails?

I enjoyed your honest opinions as I'm facing exactly the same with poly & drippy cheap hard gels. Pls advice a better brand!

I use the Madam Glam Builder in a bottle (Clear) $20: www.madamglam.com/collections/base-top-remover-builders/products/builder-pure-serenity I used the makartt polygel (clear and natural pink) $16.99: www.amazon.com/Makartt-1-76oz-Polygel-Enhancement-Extension/dp/B07DLT89HY/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=gelike+polygel&qid=1588434592&sr=8-1

Love your videos and your sense of humor! Are you now using poly gel instead of builder gel? Is it a cost thing or just an easier product to work with? Keep the information coming.

SK brodak thank you 😊 I use Polygel now when I want a nail overlay or if I want to extend my nails. It’s now a cost thing. I honestly prefer the workability of Polygel so much more than regular builder gel.

Instead of changing to a polygel, when working with builder gel, u can add acrylic and mix it in with the builder gel u add to the dual form. The dual form wont slide

gospelevans that’s what polygel is a gel and acrylic mix

Can you use builder gel over polygel for strength?

What dual forms are the flattest and straightest? My nail beds are rather flat, and the nail forms I have tried have too much of a c curve so they don't fit right, and also make too much of an arch. I like my nails to look as straight-out as possible, I don't like the arch bump to be too high, and I don't like the nails to curve in like bird claws. Before I go spending more money on several different types of nail forms, it would be helpful to know what brands might suit my need. Also a rounded end instead of the usual squarish shape would be great. I have very round/oval cuticles, and I always have to spend a lot of time reshaping The nail form or else the square corners hit the sidewall / cuticle area of the skin. But then changing to another size doesn't cover the nail bed.

I know what you mean. I had a similar issue finding forms that fit me. Here is a link some forms I think may fit. The pictures make them look m ore curved than they are. I hope this helps you. If you don't like them they are easily returnable and affordable. www.amazon.com/Makartt-140PCs-Polygel-Acrylic-System/dp/B079QKP2JR/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=dual%2Bnail%2Bforms&qid=1554078023&s=gateway&sr=8-6&th=1

Would you say that using dual forms is only good for those with longer nails? My nails are pretty short (not past the skin of my finger like yours) and I usually use glue on tips then apply builder gel over it, however I was trying to avoid that step. Would you recommend using dual forms for shorter nails? Thanks!

@MoonlitandPolished

Felicia Santos yes, you can definitely use dual forms with short nails. When I first started using dual forms I had super short nails. I would use the form to give my nails length and I would use them without tips. I hope this helped 😊

Victoria Jaguar I do it all the time. My nails are super thin and tend to flip back so I just use a layer of builder to add some more strength.

I did the prep and I added the nail builder into the nail extension and put it on my nail and the nail doesn't stay on. It won't stick to my nail. How do I get the mold to stay put long enough for it to set up so I can put it under the lamp

I need to see how you shape your nails! I've been wanting to do my nails coffin/ballerina shape and i can't get it right!

I have followed this tutorial the exact same way & nothing works. The nail form pops off my nail every time!! It is so frustrating because I have spent so much money on something that everyone else can do so easily & when I try it, I make more of a mess trying to get the polygel to bond...any suggestions on this??
