Do I need to do any dehydrating before applying biab such as wiping with alcohol or is only lightly buffing necessary? Xx

[@femdoesnails]

Hi! Both are necessary ☺️ so first wipe with acetone, then lightly buff the nail 😊

[@imnotbeinfunnybut]

Hiya! Great tutorial 😊 Is it better to use a base coat from another brand (I’m based in the U.K. so it’s quite hard to get BIAB) or just do a slip layer without a base coat first? Also can I use a top coat from another brand? Thanks :)

[@femdoesnails]

Hi! General advice: it's best not to mix brands too much especially with base products (using a different brand of top coat is something I have done before and I've never had any problems) TheGelBottle BIAB doesn't require a basecoat though you can just apply the builder gel. Another option I have seen around is to apply a very thin layer of BIAB, cure that and follow up with teh regular application process. ☺

[@IsmsbyJosie]

Really nice application!!! Builder in a bottle is one of my favorites!

[@femdoesnails]

Thank you Josie for the sweet comments and for watching! 🥰 Builder Gel is one of my favorites as well, just so easy to use!

[@beab8738]

1. Apply base coat. Flash cure 2. Apply slip coat 3. Apply thick builder blop at upper middle. Drag builder to cuticle left and right. Drag swing builder down nail 4. Use a fine liner brush for edges. 5. 60s cure of entire hand 6. Top coat gel. Flash cure

[@femdoesnails]

Just make sure to fully cure the hand after base coat and top coat, I flash cure in between nails just so the product doesn't move but I always finish of with a full cure :)

[@beab8738]

@@femdoesnails haha omy I was leaving noted for myself but the teacher saw it. Thank you 🙏☺️

[@brendamarcia2384]

Is slip coat also biab???

[@DoraSometimes]

​@@brendamarcia2384 Yep, the same one you're using. That slip layer is there just to help that thicker one slide easily over the nail and serves as a guide- second layer won't overflow the slip layer. Idk if I'm making any sense 😂

[@alisiavandenberg5591]

Wat is de reden dat je een basecoat onder de biab gebruikt?

[@femdoesnails]

Ik heb zwakke nagels (door jarenlang nagelbijten) en ik ben ook niet heel voorzichtig met mijn nagels, dus zo blijft het toch iets langer zitten naar mijn gevoel :)

[@Venus4Clark]

How do you clean your liner brush?

[@femdoesnails]

Just with some isopropyl alcohol on a lint free wipe 😊

[@miriamomer3882]

hi fem I tried to order the tgb biab since i want to start doing my nails but you need to be certified is there a way to get around this or any other products you can recommend please?

[@femdoesnails]

Hi!! I order from the following site, doesn't require a license (I don't have one either) and they ship to quite a lot of countries: shop.anastasiyaova.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjwov6hBhBsEiwAvrvN6Fy9OnWo0SWSDi9b_D_8Ki_QBwoQj5XUwJ4hMeVX0xb_L-qDFJyqFxoCMlYQAvD_BwE I also heard great things (but haven't tried them yet) about the Mylee and Aimeili builder gels available on Amazon 😊 Another option is the following site: shop.madamepolkadots.be/pages/verzending-en-retourbeleid It's a belgian brand but they ship to other countries on request 😊

@@femdoesnails Thanks! 💕

[@DoraSometimes]

I've concluded that my toxic trait is thinking I can do everything I see😅 I've bought rubber bases and have been preparing to do my nails...for more than a week😂 But seeing your video gave me a zest to do it today. Precisely now! It's undoubtedly one of the best on this topic and trust me when I say I've seen them all. Almost. You've explained everything so intelligible and simple. I usually have at least couple of questions after watching a video. After yours, everything was crystal clear. Thank you so much😊

[@femdoesnails]

That's so sweet! Comments like this really make my day 🥰 Thank you so much for taking the time to comment en to watch the video! I hope the application went well! ☺

[@jennettebaez7988]

Loved this video!!!

[@amyrigg8705]

Hi, before investing in the full set of TGB colours and lamp I wanted to try using the stuff I already have. Would a normal LED/uv lamp work?

[@femdoesnails]

Hi! Make sure that the lamp you have is powerful enough to cure the product to avoid developing allergies 😊 so at least 48W. If you can afford it, it's best to invest in the lamp from TGB

[@nicolelast230]

This is one of the best videos showing how you float and then even it up. Thank you.

[@femdoesnails]

Thank you so much!!

[@GuguMsipa-hq7bo]

After application of BIAB and curing do l apply a color of my choice

[@femdoesnails]

You can! Just make sure the BIAB isn't too thick then 😊

[@HeyTammm]

Can I use biab directly without base coat?

[@femdoesnails]

Hi! It depends on the brand 😊 with TheGelBottle you can use it without a base coat

[@leopold19]

I would like to see you do the other hand

[@femdoesnails]

I'll try to film it but not sure if getting that on camera will be easy 😅

[@TJ-vc5ky]

Hi what colour is this you are using? Also do you have a video showing how to do application with colour and designs. Many thanks

[@femdoesnails]

This is BIAB 19 from TheGelBottle. I don't have one for colour application (great idea for a new video). But I do have some designs in my KZbin shorts :)

[@TJ-vc5ky]

Hi how long do your nails usually last?

[@femdoesnails]

Hi! Usually till I take them off, which is around four weeks 😊

[@SimoneNSimonsD]

How long do these nails last

[@femdoesnails]

Typically 4-5 weeks 😊 but depends on how rough you treat your nails 😅

[@malidjavo68]

Hoi, gebruik je ook eerst primer of gelijk basecoat. Hele fijne uitleg en mooie nagels🤗

[@femdoesnails]

Dankjewel!!🥰 Ik gebruik geen primer, gewoon goed ontvetten met aceton en daarna meteen de basecoat ☺

@@femdoesnails thanks!😉

[@SaraDhooge]

Doe je het plaklaagje af voor de topcoat of lijkt dat zo op video? 🧐

[@femdoesnails]

Hi! Ik haal het er nooit af tenzij er stof of vuiltjes in hangen 😊

[@SaraDhooge]

@@femdoesnails update! Net m’n nagels gedaan met deze video in het achterhoofd en mijn Biab zag er nog nooit zo strak & egaal uit! Denk dat ik ‘t nog net ietsje dikker had mogen doen maar ziet er echt veel beter uit dan eerst 😁👌 Thanks!

[@femdoesnails]

@@SaraDhooge merci om te laten weten, is echt heel leuk om te horen🥰 qua dikte is het altijd wat proberen en uittesten, hangt ook wat af van je voorkeur en de lengte van je nagels maar echt super fijn dat het zo goed gelukt is!

[@gorananeskovic2560]

Thanks so much for this! I am trying to learn to do nails myself and your videos are super helpful! About how long does the process take for you (prep+application)? Any tips you’ve learned along the way for speeding the process up? Thanks again!

[@femdoesnails]

Hi! So happy to hear that my videos are useful! :) It takes me around 3-4 hours. When you're just starting I wouldn't focus on speed, I would only do that when your application is perfect, speed can come later and will come once you get the hang of it. :) As for any tips, these are some that come to mind! But maybe it's a good idea to throw them into a video. :) 1. don't be too nitpicky when doing your manicure, I find that this is a step that you can keep spending time on because there is always something you can remove or that can be polished. So call it quits once your happy. 2. Flash cure each nail before you move on to the next and finish with a complete cure after application on all nails is done. That way your product won't move but you won't lose 60 sec on each nail, each time you cure 3. Practice and experience really do help you to speed up the process. 4. Start with doing your dominant hand! That always takes the longest so when you get to your non-dominant hand it will feel and be like a breath of fresh air haha it will be a lot more motivating as well! I'll add some more if other tips come to mind! :)

[@MaggieMccartin-zh5bi]

Thank you.

[@DoraSometimes]

​@@femdoesnails I've come to the same conclusion about that last point you've mentioned. I was usually so frustrated and fed up with my slowness, after firstly using my dominant hand. So when I would finish it, I'd postpone doing (undoubtedly!) much more complicated hand for the next day. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

[@Arlenedesigner]

do I need to file the nail before the application?

[@femdoesnails]

Just a light buff to remove the natural shine 😊

[@muriellea8777]

Kan je ook een kleurtje aanbrengen? Bijvoorbeeld van link gellak? Wanneer in t proces moet je dat dat doen? En dan gewoon het kleurtje of ook nog een primer eronder?

[@femdoesnails]

Hi! Je kunt een kleurtje aanbrengen meteen nadat de biab uitgehard is :) primer is niet nodig, je kunt het gewoon op de biab aanbrengen

[@isismoser4816]

Any tips for wich products you should buy when you want to try this out at home for the first time? 💕

[@femdoesnails]

Hi! What you definitely need: Aceton to dehydrate the nail Builder gel Top coat (base coat is optional, depends on the brand you use) For builder gels: I started out with TheGelBottle as you don't need a license for that in Belgium. So if you can get your hands on those definitely those gels! Otherwise I really like the luxury bases by Saute Nails, lasting power is insane and applies very smoothly. I also used the Quick extension builder gel by Born Pretty a couple weeks ago and that one has also been wearing very well, also applied very easily. 😊 I have also heard good things about (but have yet to try out) the builder gels by Mylee and Aimeili! Otherwise you just need tools to a basic manicure, a powerful lamp to cure the gel and a fine liner brush to level the product out ☺️

[@daisyyg]

⁠@@femdoesnailswould the Amazon IBD builder hard gel work if I want to start doing BIAB nails ? Or does BIAB need to be the ones in the bottles

[@femdoesnails]

@@daisyyg Hi! BIAB is specifically builder gel in a bottle. But in essence, you can achieve the same look with gels that come in a pot. :) you just can't call them BIAB nails then :D BIAB is also often (but not always) a bit more flexible and soakable than the hard gels that come in a pot. They are also often a bit more runny so they level better. It all kinda comes down to what your nails need and what you prefer to work with. I find the IBD gels that come in a pot a bit hard to work with honestly because they don't level that easily.

[@daisyyg]

@@femdoesnails thank you sooo much🤍 this helped me a lot since I’m still trying to understand the difference between all these nail gels 😭 I just do acrylic nails but I really wanna start doing BIAB nails & hard gel nails

[@femdoesnails]

@@daisyyg it's really confusing! All the terms have also kinda merged these past years making it even more difficult to differentiate between all the different gels 😅 but happy to help! ☺️
