Gelish Vitagel Strength & Recovery [Initial Application]

[@ohjoynails3673]

Haven't tried this product but have been curious about it. I'll be watching for the follow up. Thanks for all your hard work and making videos testing so many products, as a new nail tech I'm so thankful I found your channel.

[@TheSalonLife]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment!!

The vita gel needs to be very well mixed because of all the vitamins in it that’s why of the milky color

[@samidluxe]

Hi! I came across your page from your review of Gelish Structure... And now I’m down the rabbit hole of watching several of your videos with Gelish! I used VitaGel a few times and quite frankly I remember it not lasting well on clients! But I should try it again. Your application of bonder to the tip is BRILLIANT (I have the pro-Bond) and I can’t wait to try THAT this week! Also, it looks like you flash cure pinky thru index then polish the thumb then entire hand back in for full cure.... Is that so product doesn’t pool when you turn the hand to polish the thumb? I’m fascinated!

When I did my application it lifted I used primer and dehydrator… any advice?

[@TheSalonLife]

Hi Nini, based off what you have said there could be many reasons why you have lifting. Can you give us additional information? The more details the better. Thanks - MSL

@@TheSalonLife Thank you for responding

[@binkieify]

Have you done the follow up?

[@rubycarr9438]

I agree, it felt super rubbery. I hated the feeling so I removed it a few hours after application. I would love to know if the rubbery feeling goes away.

[@TheSalonLife]

I find that happens with a lot of these soak off gels. Apparently the rubbery feel wore off a bit.

[@rubycarr9438]

Thanks for the reply! Do you remember if the Cuccio had the same rubbery feeling? I was thinking of trying it since you gave it a great review.

[@TheSalonLife]

I wore Cuccio and right after curing felt a little dull and rubbery (it has less flexibility) after applying oil and maybe 2 hours later it feels more shiny and less rubbery.

[@rubycarr9438]

The Salon Life I just applied the Cuccio and I absolutely love it. Thank you for the recommendation.

No base coat, no top coat?

Hi Anna, I was curious to see if you have every tried Lechat gel polishes and if you have, your opinion on them? I would love to see a removal and wear test. Thank you. ☺️

[@babbsfangirl8254]

Do you have a video that discusses the best nail strengtheners? Thanks

[@TheSalonLife]

I’m working on evaluating products. I did a live just on Thursday showing Probelle Nail Care line and I talked about Strengtheners there. Check it out please :)

[@ssy1pny]

I tried this years ago and didnt like it. Is the formula different?

[@KyraInTheNations]

I have a question, do you cut cuticles? I am starting out in this nail industry and I don't know if "cuticle cutting" is important because some articles say I should not and some say I should.

[@TheSalonLife]

Well, I don't cut the Proximal Nail Fold that many mistakenly call "cuticle" Here is more info:schoonscientific.com/2019/whats-new-nail-anatomy-latest-facts/ Please check my IG @thesalonlife.ca for pictures what I remove and what I don't

[@shernicafields2339]

I have a heavy duty shaker that I have had for 2yrs

[@TheSalonLife]

I think I will buy another one!

[@sandrastreifel6452]

I need one, just for my own gel polish collection. Some I’ve had for 5 years, so they need a good shake.

[@enfasia]

If I apply two coats of recovery, can I do gel polish on top of it?

[@TheSalonLife]

Yes, cure them both and you should be able to apply gel polish over it. :)

[@guadalupegonzalez3675]

Traduce al español.

[@TotallyKayla]

What's the difference in the ingredients list?

[@TheSalonLife]

Ingredients are the same but the percentage of each ingredient *might be slightly different

[@TotallyKayla]

@@TheSalonLife I can't find the ingredients list anywhere online but I ordered the recovery one after your review lol

Thanks so much! :) - MSL

I own the belong vita gel as well for a couple of years. Even after mixing yes I understand it has vitamins but even on first coat I had an issue with application it would do that separation pooling effect on the nails and yes that bumpy look. Not a fan and not many clients request it at all I might just trash it tbh
