BUILDER GEL APPLICATION TUTORIAL | GLITTERBELS

Hey guys,
I thought I would do a bit of an updated BIAB application video now that I have changed brands. I find Glitterbels BIAB different to apply/set so I thought I would show you my new method.
SHOP HERE - www.glitterbels.com/?ref=bb-zd348k
Hope this helps!
Speak soon, Gee x

Like your video. Here's some advice from a nail technician from Belgium. I learned to work with builder gel as follows: you gel 1 nail , for you your 2nd coat, you pop it in the lamp for 10 sec so the gel cannot run anymore. Then you apply 2nd nail. Same story. After 4 nails you pop them all 4 together for 90 sec as you mentionned. At the end of the total application you save some minutes. Hope you can do something with it. Bye bye!

Thanks!🥰

I’ve just qualified and have been using this builder gel and it’s lifting constantly but my prep is correct. Honest feel so deflated with it I feel like I just can’t grasp builder gel with or without using tip extensions 😢x

[@thenailroombygee]

Hey gal!! Was it you that messaged me on insta?! ❤️

[@Jiminswig]

@@thenailroombygee yes that was me! Commented here before I found you on instagram xx

[@susankey9598]

Hi there, I’m loving your videos 😊thanks for making them so clear and easy to follow! I’ve only just discovered biab nails and only done it once on my 💅 which biab gel is the best for a deeper cover please as the one I used was also a bit see through? xx

[@thenailroombygee]

Aw thanks so much lovely!! Cookie cream is my fave!!! The second thicker layer builds up such a lovely colour and not see through xxx

[@merlyshafenelon]

Hi can you use nail tips then apply the builder gel?

[@thenailroombygee]

Yes you can! X

[@violettataylor9697]

Sorry I don’t understand do I need to apply top coat or I just can leave it as it is? Thank you

[@thenailroombygee]

Yes top coat is needed x

[@vincentberg444]

Do you have to use the glitterbels lamp because I don’t have one and I don’t know if I should buy it or not. Xxx

[@thenailroombygee]

Hey lovely, yeah I do! It’s always best to set the product with the matching brand lamp x

[@user-fr8gk2fi5m]

Do I need to hydrate , prime and base coat 1st?

[@thenailroombygee]

I just dehydrate with the black bottle xx

[@kellysmith9128]

I loved this what grit nail file did you refine with after pls x

[@thenailroombygee]

My 180/240 file from Nõbu! X

[@jobolton5559]

Hi, lov this video!! Can I ask, can you use normal gel colours on top of the BIAB?? Thanks!!

[@thenailroombygee]

Yes of course!🥰🥰🥰

[@jobolton5559]

Great!!! Thanks!!!

[@AaBb-sn3ji]

How do you remove the glitterbels builder? Is it soak off? I looked on their website but it doesn’t say. Thanks!

[@thenailroombygee]

Hey! Yeah it’s soak off❤️❤️

[@AaBb-sn3ji]

@@thenailroombygee awesome! Thank you so much

[@ML46823]

Hi, do you mind me asking what do you cleanse the nail with after prep? And do you use the same product to remove sticky layer before refining? Thanks 😊

[@thenailroombygee]

Hi lovely! Of course you can - I use acetone for both! Xx

[@laurawatts2074]

Do you flash cure upside down if so for how long? Used gbels for the first time today and it ran down towards the end of the nail and was quite opaque 😭 do you also use 2 thick layers to build colour of some colours x

[@thenailroombygee]

Hey gal! I only flash cure upside down if I’m using a tip extension. Some colours are more opaque than others, that’s why I love cookie cream as the pigmentation is perfect! Try putting the builder in a cold bit of water this thickens it up and makes it easier to apply! Xxx

[@fern5142]

Your video is awesome, thanks for sharing. Just out of curiosity how long should BIAB take when doing them on a client

[@thenailroombygee]

Thanks so much!! A plain set takes me no more than 45 mins but all depends on experience! Xx

[@fern5142]

@@thenailroombygee so what's the minimum amount of time you would say it takes

[@thenailroombygee]

@@fern5142 for a plain BIAB set I could probably do in 35 - 40 mins xx

[@fern5142]

@@thenailroombygee ah ok thanks that's all I wanted to know, it's just I had my nails done today which was supposed to he BIAB, i don't believe she has done them correctly as I was in and out in 15 minutes, the job is bad

[@thenailroombygee]

@@fern5142 oh that sounds sound right! I can’t even do a normal gel set in 15 mins! How much were they? X

[@Vp-nh7cc]

Hi are you capping the free edges or do you leave them? I’m not sure if I should be capping the free edge of biab and topcoat neither or both thank you

[@thenailroombygee]

I don’t cap xxx

[@monifika]

What about size is it the same amount of builder 20 mil like The Gel Bottle?

[@thenailroombygee]

Yeah they are the same size 🥰

[@kellycatton5930]

Hi chick 😊 just wondering if u have ever tried the Mylee 5in1 Builder Gel? I'm hoping to start offering BIAB to customers and ìve found Mylee products are more accessible and usually cheaper. But r they any good ??¿¿¿¿??????????¿¿ 😊😊😊

[@thenailroombygee]

Hey lovely! I’m sorry I’ve not tried that one!😭😭 but if you join the nail tech awareness group on Facebook and type in the brand there will be loads of posts with opinions etc! Xx

[@leahtill75]

Hey they’re okay but gel bottle is better. The mylee is a lot thinner and I’ve found it clumps

[@mikamichulec2533]

Do you not put basecoat before BIAB?XX

[@thenailroombygee]

Only with the hema free xx

[@clairekelly1786]

You didn’t prime or base coat, can I ask why?

[@thenailroombygee]

Not needed with this builder 🥰

[@user-fr8gk2fi5m]

So with all the black bottle builder gels from glitterbells do we not prime and basecoat?

[@celinarose4456]

Hii, i see you use the glitterbels lamp, but if you still use the gelbottle gelpolish do you use the same lamp or the one from the gelbottle?😊

[@thenailroombygee]

Hey girl! I’ll still use the Glitterbels lamp if I’m setting any designs or anything on top of the BIAB! But if I do regular gel manis without the BIAB I’ll use my tgb one xxx

[@rhondaclark5335]

Pretty pretty

[@thenailroombygee]

Thanks!🫶🏼

[@dhaniramkavita]

Hi! I just want to say I absolutely love your videos. Its very informative. With that being said, I'm an acrylic nail tech and would absolutely love to introduce biab to my services. However I've never actually done it, hence the reason why im doing research so I can learn as much as possible. I have a question and i hope you can help me. I saw you prepped your nails and apply dehydrator, however if I were to do this service, can a primer (example mia secret xtrabond) be applied after the dehydrator and then start to add the biab to the nail?

[@thenailroombygee]

Hey lovely! Yes I’m sure that would be absolutely fine! Xx

[@katierebeccawhitham1574]

Does this need a base coat?

[@thenailroombygee]

Some do and some don’t just check on the bottle on any you purchase! X

[@cherylloyd4705]

Can you not just apply thin layers like gel polish and build up the thickness that way ? rather than applying thin layer and then thick layer ?

[@thenailroombygee]

I suppose you could but I’ve never tried it that way xxx

[@cherylloyd4705]

@@thenailroombygee i presume that way the gel will cure better without having the fear that it’s not cured properly because of the thickness xx

[@georginabarlow5360]

Hey lovely, what was the reason to swapping to glitterbels?x

[@thenailroombygee]

Hey girl! Because of the reactions happening with tgb! I did a video on it not too long ago xx

I do🥰

If you where just starting out your journey would you maybe get all your gel colours glitter bells too? I’ve only just started so only have a few TBG gels but find the biab so thick if I don’t have time to warm it up glitter bells looks much easier to work with x

Also I have a gel nails qualification but do you know if you have to go on a course for biab to get insurance or not as long as your using the right lamp ect xx
