Man and I thought only I knew this trick! Great video. I've been collecting regular nail lacquer for decades so when I started using gel, I found that even a thin gel overlay on my natural nails using builder in a bottle extended the longevity of my nail lacquer drastically as long as my nail prep was solid. Although I still love the curing time of gel, I no longer feel like I have to neglect my nail lacquers anymore.

Where do you buy your builder in a bottle?

[@KristineMacabare]

@@knitfulgrace I’ve used a number of different kinds, but my current fave is Nail Thoughts Tinted Base Gel. I’ve also used Madam Glam’s Builder in a Bottle and their newest Rubber Base. Both are good, but the rubber base is better if you have thin flexible nails.

@@KristineMacabare Awesome thank you!

This is good advice, when I wore regular polish I did all of it. The reason I switched to gel with a rubber base overlay is not only longevity (2-3 weeks no problem) but resistance to breaking. I used to grow them out and then break one, either cut them back or slapped on a press on nail. I grew aggravated with that cycle. In a year of wearing gel I have had a single break, I slammed the finger in a drawer and the top of the nail ripped away. The rubber base just tore, that was nice to know that it didn't try to take the whole nail with it. I have had a few cracks, same as I used to get with regular polish. I used to silk wrap or them repair with acrylic powder, now I use polygel to repair. As for taking them off...e file all the way, no soaking here. I e file down to the first rubber base layer then switch to a hand file. I leave a thin coating of rubber base on between manicures, it doesn't tend to lift. Now polygel will lift after a month or so, it must be replaced if I still need it for repair. Anyway there is so much to learn to do gel on yourself safely. Allergies and damage from the e file were my main concerns, now I work on perfecting technique. It is definitely not for everyone to do on themselves, and going to a salon would be a pain. So I wrote all that to ask which OPI color are you using here? I did not see it specifically in the amazon list of products you have😊

Yesssssssssss this, my nails are very thin and I have two that I smashed in a door when I was small that still hasn't recovered, and a rubber base gel was the only thing that has saved my nails

Great tips! Enjoyed watching 🥰🩷

[@RaquelBates]

I love this technique.

[@VannaRoses]

Wonderful video very helpful!

[@asboukcomfortable1670]

OPI is a good quality polish, CND VINYLUX POLISH is very long lasting. A good quality Topcoat and basecoat does matter! I use Zoya Armor Topcoat as a basecoat as well, it's so grippy! UK 🇬🇧 16.7.24

[@asboukcomfortable1670]

This is what I'm looking for, I used clear nail stickers but they peeled off. I tried glitter, Zoya Armor topcoat, builder gel blah blah...Fed up now! Stickers and CND SHELLAC TOPCOAT AND SHELLAC BASECOAT! UK 🇬🇧

[@jennglow4647]

Cool 😀

[@mjdoll4982]

Thank you for this video! I use regular polish so it can be easily removed when needed. Did you put your base coat over a gel builder? I was thinking of using a gel builder but read not to put regular polish over it. Can you recommend a good gel builder?

[@ekaterinav.7530]

Hi, What brand of top coat did you use?

[@JoanneRichards]

Hi, what is that builder gel in the jar that you’re using here? I had a look on your Amazon shop front and can’t find it.

[@JauntyJuli]

The jar one is from Bio Seaweed Gel, called ‘Builder X Sculpting Gel’.
