I haven't tried the potted builder but at this point the bottle works best for me. I watched a lot of videos and the detail brush trick is very helpful. You can just put a dab of builder in an area that needs more and the tiny brush blends it in seamlessly. I use one very thin layer and only build up if I need to. In most cases I don't do any filing and just go on to my color. Still relatively new at doing my own gel polish but having good results and wear so far.

[@NicolesBeautyScene]

That’s great!! The tiny brush really does work fabulously! Glad to hear the bottle works so well for you!

[@nadineburke8030]

Nicole, when you use the angled cleanup brush do you have acetone or alcohol on it?

[@NicolesBeautyScene]

I use alcohol! 99% isopropyl alcohol!

[@nadineburke8030]

Nicole, how do you clean off the brush used for builder gel?

[@NicolesBeautyScene]

I just wipe as much as I can off on a clean paper towel- kind of pinch the brush between my fingers with the paper towel in between of course. Then put the cap on and store it away from light. If I get too much color from the BG on the brush- I just wipe it through some clear BG or clear gel before putting the cap back on!

[@dianaklingensmith5987]

Do you need to ruff up the nail when you have builder gel on when you use gel polish

[@NicolesBeautyScene]

Yep! That will help the gel polish adhere to the Bg. And make sure to use gel base first before gel polish colors!

[@doramaecrabtree8270]

Can you use the BG in a bottle as a slip layer then BG in a jar for the rest?

[@NicolesBeautyScene]

Absolutely!! If you feel more comfortable with the bottle first- you definitely can!

I think, this is how you normally sound. You’re fine.
