How to do Builder Gel Press On Nails | For Beginners | IBD builder gel | Press Your Way

In this video I will be showing how to apply IBD builder gel to press on nails. I also have another IBD builder gel video linked in the outro. It is the curved edition (curve press on nails) so make sure that you check that video out as well.

[@britzglam6866]

Finally I found someone doing what I was looking for. I wanted to see if it’s possible. Thank you for the video 💗👏🏾

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Glad to be of some assistance to you! Yess ma’am it is very possibly. Pls let me know if you ever try it. Thank you

[@thestar4201]

I love the way you did these nails. I just got my builder gel and now know how to make my press on nails look professional. Thank you.

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Thank you I’m happy that I could help in any way! Let me know how your nails turn out.

[@MillieJune_]

I’m not sure if anyone mentioned that you can use the builder gel to stick the nail to yours. Put a thin base coat on your natural nail, cure, then put a large bead, press and cure. Lasts 2 weeks, 3 when I don’t feel like being bothered… lol. It works better if you do this before applying polish and then do your normal routine… anyway, your nails look great!

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

I have seen it done but I haven’t had the opportunity to try it myself. I have to constantly switch nails for pics && things like that. When I get some time I’m definitely going to try it. Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention again. && happy you like the nails!!!

[@EvelynArnold]

What's your fav builder? Thanks!

[@lovelybunn5522]

Do you have a tutorial? I would love to try it.

[@tiannistevens-russell8993]

That's what I needed to know. I wonder how strong is it against water because I clean and wash my hands alot.

[@yolyrom7233]

⁠ Roze318(?) KZbin channel has a vid where she’s at a water park.

[@diyluxuriesbyleora7103]

I love the ombre effect. I can see the gradual color change clearly. You go girl! Great tutorial...

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Thank you! I liked it after I saw the Finish 😂

[@heuymoi]

Thank you!!! I’ve looked all over KZbin for a builder gel tutorial. You are the BEST!!

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

You’re so welcome!

[@cookingnwhatnot2526]

Beautiful. I know I'm a year late but I'm going to try this. I also use the builder gel to glue on the fake nails. I buff my nails & the under side of the press on, cleanse both with alcohol, put gel base coat on my nail and under side of fake nail & nuke, then put light layer of builder gel on my nail and press on the fake nail and cure it. Stays for 2-3 weeks

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Thanks love!! I’m going to try that ASAP!

[@TheLadyDon37]

@cookingnwhatnot2526thank you , I will definitely be trying this also !!!!!!! @Press Your Way Nails Thank you too , I been looking for a way to "up" my press on nail game(i love the acrylic thick look w/ acrylic use , will definitely be trying this out

Great job! I recently started using builder gel. I agree, I use a nail polish brush too. They also are very durable with it, like acrylic.

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

That polish brush be everything. Thank you && yes they are durable.

Hey!! && thank you. So glad that you enjoyed it 😊

[@theemoniquegee2512]

I put the sticky tab on my mail then put a dab of nail glue on the sticky tab. It’s stays longer without glue actually touching my nails 😊

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

That’s a great idea! Ima have to try that. Thanks for sharing 😌

[@tiffanybarnes3831]

Me too🤗😅😅

[@mamaindy61]

I’m so glad I found your channel😁. I’ve used gel and acrylic to apply my full cover tips. The sticky tabs don’t work for me either. They are really pretty. I’m going to try the builder gel to thicken mine up. Thanks for he video.

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Thank you. I’m glad that you found it too. Definitely try it for sure because it’s a game changer 😌

[@tatyanahicks1623]

So happy I found your channel! I make press on nails and I love watching people create them too. Also, I love your voice!! As a fellow country girl, you are speaking to my soul 🥰I will definitely be subscribing and watching more! BTW sticky tabs suck! I've tried alot of different brands and they just don't do it for me!

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Aww I’m happy you found my channel as well. && thank you for subscribing! Do u also make videos? So glad u enjoy my voice that was actually one of things I was worried about when I started making videos. Lol this made my day. && I actually found some sticky tabs on Amazon recently that are pretty decent. I’ll send u the link.

[@naildipity2333]

Love your video 🥰 I gotta try this!

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Thank you. Please do.

[@QueenRulahNFT]

Please continue to share all of your creativity and content!🤗Try to use uv/led gel glue.

Lovely

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Thanks sweetie 🥰

[@renitasmith2110]

All sticky tabs are like this I only use them for my display nails.... Pretty nails you did a good job

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Thank you. I ended up finding what I think is the best tabs so far. Idk the brand but I got them from Amazon.

[@thebrokenmicshow1457]

Both are very pretty :) tfs!

[@agds91078]

Hi! New friend to your channel. I love watching creative nail videos because I too am interested in learning to do unique nails. I mainly do beauty subscription box openings over on my channel but I had to take a break from doing videos to fight triple negative breast cancer this past year. Sadly I lost all my pretty hair, lashes and brows due to strong chemo therapy plus it messed with my nails too so it’s been almost a year since I’ve got to even put a clear coat on my nails. I was so weak and sick from the many months of treatment I wasn’t able to do much of anything but I’m starting to heal and feeling better and thankfully after having a double mastectomy to remove the lump I’m in remission and in the process of breast reconstruction. I have been documenting this past year of my cancer journey and hope to now finally get all those videos edited up into one video and share it on my channel as my comeback video letting my KZbin friends know what’s been going on. I hope to get that up soon plus get back to doing videos myself now that I’m feeling better and looking more like myself once again. I also hope to add doing nail vids to my channel too and thanks to you along with many other nail creators you all have truly inspired me to do nails. I hope to be as creative and talented as you are at doing nails someday sweet friend. I hope we can chat and connect because I love getting to make new forever friends. Sending love and channel support from the mountains of eastern Kentucky 💙💅🏼

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Hi && welcome friend! So glad to have u here! && thank God you’re in remission. I am so sorry for all that you’ve been through && would love to see your testimonials on your channel. I’m so happy that I, along with others, were able to inspire you. If you want to do nails then do it now. Time waits for no one. You have a friend in me now ☺️ Dang I sound like woody from toy story lol! But thank you for your support of my channel as well!

[@siasgal62]

I’m glad you’re in remission and I pray for a successful revival of your KZbin channel and praying for continued health.

[@Mrs.D]

I love your work...i think i' I'll let you design my nails...i don't have the patient...great work..

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Lol Thank you 😊

[@tcrnails547]

Love this cause idk how to use acrylic on clients so this is an alternative

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Absolutely

[@tcrnails547]

@@PressYourWayBeauty tysm for the confirmation cause ive watched a bunch of videos about builder gel but its always on natural nails and idk how to use acrylic and i wanna do nails in my house and my family hate the monomer smell

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

@@tcrnails547 No problem 😌 When I was in cosmetology they didn’t teach us how to do nails except one day. So when I was on the floor I used OPI builder gel (in the bottle) to do nails. I believe the gel I use now is way better && thicker.. I wish you the best. Lmk how your nails turn out!

[@lhrealty5895]

I plan to use gorilla glue. I just saw a video and someone says they have been using it for 2yrs. Their nails last about 3 wks.

[@yolyrom7233]

Interesting

[@christinekinloch3369]

So beautiful!!Are these soak off with acetone to remove them? Or how do you remove?

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Thank you 😊 No, you do not soak them off with acetone. I like to use nail glue remover *$5 at Walmart*. Also you can soak your hands in warm soapy water with a little oil for about 15 mins to loosen the glue. I hope that answered your question 🤗

[@stacystrine3040]

This came up in my suggested, but I'm not mad at it 😊. Those colors look beautiful together... Very smooth transition 💞. I use hard gel to create my full sets, but I injured my pinkie and have been doing press-ons for the past couple months instead. Does the hard gel cause the tips to shrink like acrylic can?

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Hey I’m so glad u came across the video. Thank you. And to answer your question, no. The gel doesn’t shrink the tip. I have heard some ppl say that it does but I think it’s because they use ALOT of gel. I only use a little. 😊

[@stacystrine3040]

@@PressYourWayBeauty tysm! I can't wait to see more of ur content 😊

[@shontesmith2439]

I use the IBD hard gel in the bottle because it goes on a lot smoother as if it was nail polish.

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

I have seen it but never used it. Is it as thick as the one in the jar?

[@HuguetteDhandu]

😮

[@Arigabriellee]

So does the builder gel keep it from breaking ? & if you were to do press ons the regular way w/ just gel polish would they break ?

[@ebony85eb]

Yes, it gives it more stability. You cld still do regular gel polish. I do mine both ways and use acrylic too

[@BeAllYouBeauty]

Yes builder gel helps them last longer

[@LianaIsabelSamson]

hi! for how long will the nails stick??

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Hello. If the natural nail is prepared correctly they will last for weeks.

[@chaquitaford583]

Question 🙋🏾‍♀️ does the builder gel make it harder?

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Yes, it makes them harder but not like brick. They aren’t going to crack like acrylic would because they aren’t THAT hard. You can’t just bend them either. I hope that answers your question. 🖤

[@chaquitaford583]

Yes, it does thanks 😊 so much.

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

@@chaquitaford583 No problem.

[@coolmomplays3934]

What base coat do you use?

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

In this particular video I used a beetles brand base coat. Now I use DND base coat. They both work great for me. Haven’t had any issues with either.

[@rayray0901]

Could you do this with pre-made French tip press on nails?

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Yes you sure can. It will make them look even more like acrylics.

[@katlegomosime6773]

How long does the set last?

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

If you’re gentle on your hands they can last well over 3 weeks. Also how you prep your natural nail before applying your press ons is extremely important. I do have a video demonstrating that as well. As far as the quality of the nails(how long they last) that would all depend on who you purchase from. You get what you pay for.

[@BeAllYouBeauty]

What is the name of your base gel

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

In this video I used beetles base gel.

[@queenkeeekeee]

Thxx u sus for jumping right into it 💕🦋🍹Kute 💅 sus

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

No problem at all boo! && thank you 😊

[@prettybabesrunwaycoll7881]

I use some builder gel in a white bottle. My nails still come out thin😩😩 the ones I bought from someone are way stronger than mines

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

This builder gel that I use in this video is the only brand I’ve ever used. It’s great because you can make it as thick or thin as you’d like. I can’t speak on your particular brand because I don’t know what it is but I would suggest doing multiple layers of it && see how that works for you. 😊

[@lisethomas2930]

Nice 😍 the stickers aren't for me. I like the UV gel glue. Its in a polish bottle brush and all from Amazon.

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Thank you 😌

[@rachel.shakira]

Can you use builder gel to apply nail art? Thats all i want to know😅

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

Do you mean charms & rhinestones? If so, I found that it was not the best for securing charms. Mine came off fairly quickly. You should definitely try a rhinestone gel or glue adhesive.

[@rachel.shakira]

@@PressYourWayBeauty Yes! Thank you!. Any recommendations of rhinestone gel or gel adhesive?Preferably on amazon. I cant afford Zulay right now and literally everyone prefers that one. Theres has to be one on amazon that i can utilize!

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

@@rachel.shakira No problem. Lol I was going to say Zulay b/c I’ve had the most success with that glue. Makartt Nail Rhinestone Glue from amazon would be my next suggestion. I think it works better on a course surface though. I have heard that actual nail glue does the trick but I haven’t tried it && I think it may leave a white residue.

[@rachel.shakira]

Got you!! Thank you so much for beingg responsive! God bless🤍🤍

[@Arigabriellee]

So does the builder gel keep it from breaking ? & if you were to do press ons the regular way w/ just gel polish would they break ?

[@PressYourWayBeauty]

It’s possible that they could break but it would be extremely hard to do. It also depends on how thick you decide to go with it. I haven’t ever had any regular press ons w/ gel polish to break. Probably because I use gel tips and not plastic tips.
