I’ve been using gelish base and then structure on my nails for years now and find that it works great considering I’m a nail tech and very hard on my nails.

[@monicayanez5358]

Hi do you fill them in or you remover the whole thing and start over?.

[@newine62]

Hi I just joined your Patreon I’m so excited to learn more ! You both make it so much fun to watch ❤

[@TheSalonLife]

Thank you so, so much Esther!! :)

I have been using the translucent pink Structure gel on my nails for a few months. With using the pH Bond and ProBond I have had 0 lifting. It is a very easy to use product and I love the way it looks.

[@sandrastreifel6452]

I have been looking forward to this video, since I want a builder-in-a-bottle!!!

[@TheSalonLife]

Yes!!!! Tomorrow is Orly Builder in a Bottle video! Save some time to watch that!

[@htownandi6263]

I use Gelish at my salon and like it pretty well. Cant wait for the update.

[@tmcdgreen]

What type of wipes do you use to remove the tacky layer? I’ve been using the OPI expert touch, but I like how yours looks like gauze-more absorbent.

[@nickiealtieri-enochs1914]

I've only used the Cover Pink color for two of my clients. Both loved it and they lasted well into 3 weeks. I've since switched to Luminary (base and color in one) because of all the color options.

[@TheSalonLife]

Yes, I wish the tinted versions of the Structure gels had better colors. Do you know where Luminary is made? I can’t find anywhere

[@nickiealtieri-enochs1914]

@@TheSalonLife I'm not certain if they make it in Las Vegas, but you could email them.

[@TheSalonLife]

Yes, I did. Waiting for the answer :) Do the bottles say? Is should say where it’s made...

[@nickiealtieri-enochs1914]

@@TheSalonLife I just checked the bottles and it's not listed, just the ingredients.

[@michelesavinsky8816]

Which product is fav to use as an overlay for regular polish? I like something not to thick and easy to work with. Apres soft gel builder is very thick and hard to use me overlay.

[@TheSalonLife]

I don't do this. My clients usually opt for regular polish (Dazzle Dry which dries in 5 min) or gel polish. I've heard people using CND Shellac base and top as a "strengthening layer" and then put the polish on top. The problem is though that if you want to change the polish often and use acetone the "gel coat" will get damaged from acetone and it will start peeling. So I would do this only if you wanted to wear polish for 10 days or so and then remove polish and soak off the gel coat and start again.

I love his commentary! He was so funny and while you’re being Informative! Haha!

[@TheSalonLife]

Thank you 😊

[@laurenburton6639]

I must be immune to the smell. I've used gelish for over 10 years and have never found the smell to be bad at all not compared to other brands.

[@singhtinesha344]

That’s the best gel builder gel 🥳

[@singhtinesha344]

Have it in all the colors !

[@kellyc1806]

Great video! I have a question. I just bought this same gel. Can I use this as a builder then apply a color gel polish over it? If so, should I take the tacky layer off before I apply the color gel?

[@StellaLuella]

I just purchased the kit and only the ph bond was included, NOT the PRO bond. Do I need to do both bonds? Thanks!

[@nikkiwooden7876]

LMAO at "hot plastic", when I lived at home, my dad made me do my nails outside because he said my products smell like "grinding antlers".

[@TheSalonLife]

Oh god lol 😂

[@sherylsnow4846]

You both crack me up..love your since of humor.. forget about the tutorial I just want to listen to you guys LOL but yes I do love the video

[@TheSalonLife]

Thanks so much!! 😘

[@karenduncan7heartmender]

Don't remove the inhibition layer until after you put on the Top it Off and cure it.

[@TheSalonLife]

What if you have to correct the shape?

[@karenduncan7heartmender]

@@TheSalonLife If you want to correct it before the top coat, take the shine off the nails before putting on the top coat. That way, the top coat will have something to hang on to. I'm sorry it took so long to answer.

[@TheSalonLife]

Hi Karen! That’s what I did. I watched the instruction on Gelish’s IG and tthey show the same instructions. I don’t know why the top coat went on so pitted.

[@maggiewalker975]

Love the honest commentary 🤣

[@TheSalonLife]

Thank you Maggie 💕

[@cdboyce17]

So this cures hard like an acrylic would right?

[@TheSalonLife]

These gels cure very flexible and file differently than acrylic. They are more rubbery

[@reachlove6779]

Because you buff it in between applying the topcoat . Which caused the lumpy bump’s .

[@TheSalonLife]

Thank you for your comment! Now I know :)

[@jayleenfienco5476]

Are you able to apply gel nail polish over this?

[@TheSalonLife]

Yes :)

[@sherric7860]

I wouldn’t get a better tan no matter where I lived. I lived in Hawaii twice, once for 4 years and never got a tan once. I do freckle and burn, but am not in danger of a tan. 😂😂. Now that I’m older, I’m glad. If not for the fact that I don’t tan, I would have been laying out in the sun wearing baby oil as a teen.

[@TheSalonLife]

Well, the explanation sounded way better in my head. It made more sense. But like in the mountains the sun is “stronger” (the higher altitude) or closer to equator.

[@sherric7860]

The Salon Life The explanation made absolute sense and was a very good one. I was being funny, although it was the truth of course. I have very fair skin with a lot of pink in it. So kind of like a sunburned vampire.

[@gilliantuck2343]

It did that cause you wiped the sticky inhibition. Top it off requires the sticky layer

[@TheSalonLife]

What if you need to shape the nail before the top coat?

[@tmomo7265]

Bist du deutsch?

[@TheSalonLife]

No, I’m not :)

[@tmomo7265]

@@TheSalonLife ok

[@vsnailsnz]

Why did you skip topcoating the nails?

[@TheSalonLife]

I wanted to see if it needs top coat and if it has good shine

[@shernicafields2339]

No the base is thinner!

[@TheSalonLife]

Interesting! They must have reformulated! So I’m not losing it lol.
