Love this video! I love that you mentioned the peel base being latex or water-based. I am allergic to latex and it always slips my mind to make sure my peel bases are latex-free! :)

Very helpful! The baggie method is best for me. The warm rice method (in place of using water) and all the others are not successful. I have a terrible time getting peel back (with out without clear powder atop of it) off my nail and I always suffer damage. I am in awe of those that can pop off their nails- like Marla Kris. I’m ready to give up on ünt because it’s such a pain to remove.

I bought some of the Onyx remover, not realizing it wasn’t actually 100% acetone. I only needed to remove from one nail, so I just loaded up some paper towel and held against the nail for about 5 minutes, rubbing every so often. It came off pretty easy, just rubbing off with the paper towel.

Which is your favorite way? And could you maybe do a video explaining the benefits of builder gel over a clear base dip powder? I see people do both. Thank you
@CaroleAnnette3 жыл бұрын
I would love to do a pros/cons video! My favorite is soaking in acetone, but it’s not my skins favorite. So peel base is the most convenient for me.
@sarahglen11402 жыл бұрын
I would also really like to see a video of the pros and cons of each. Also, can you do soaking off with builder gel under? I know you mentioned it in your video, but does it affect the gel in any way?
@CaroleAnnette2 жыл бұрын
It definitely can break down and weaken the builder gel. The best way to soak off with builder gel on is using a hard gel (non soak off gel). That won’t be affected. But most builder gels are a soft gel which means they soak off and will break down with acetone.

Hi Carol 😀I really enjoy your videos! I was wondering what your thoughts are on applying peel base onto your natural nails and then applying dip powder on top of the peel base?
@CaroleAnnette2 жыл бұрын
I didn’t have a good experience using peel base on my natural nails. It damaged them. However, I know others who have great success. If you choose to try it, I recommend testing on one nail, versus the whole hand.

I love peel base, but my BG doesn’t seem to stay intact perfectly when I peel off. It got to where I was redoing my BG every time I did my nails and that made it take twice as long to do my nails each time.
@CaroleAnnette3 жыл бұрын
What’s your builder gel application process like?
@saraanderson83813 жыл бұрын
For new BG, two coats of nail dehydrator, two coats of two coats of young nails protein bond or mias secret xtrabond, gel base (cure 60-90 seconds), builder gel (usually two coats curing 90 seconds each) then shape as needed. I then top my BG with gel top cure about 60 seconds, then one coat of peel base almost to the edges. When I dip, I cap the free edge on my final dip.

What grit on your hand file after drilling do you use? Thanks for this video!
@CaroleAnnette3 жыл бұрын
100/180 grit. I use the 100 grit usually to file off the shine of the dip top coat - and the 180 grit if I’m close to my natural nail when debulking.

About how many days do you get with your peel base over builder gel?(in-between dip)

If I do one coat, I can go a full week. If I do 2 coats, it varies; but my dip will chip or pop off in as little as 24 hours (not typical) to around 2-3 days.

Depending on the brand of peel base used, some last a long time (weeks) and some pop off in a couple days. Peel base isn’t something I’d recommend for longevity

I’m not well versed in EFiles, but I recommend getting something super cheap first, and t comfortable using it and the bits. EFiles aren’t everybody’s favorite and the last thing you’d want to do is spend a lot of money on something you don’t end up liking and using. Practice on something cheap, and when you’re ready to, upgrade to a nicer brand.

We don’t want to pick at our nails and force the dip powder off of them. If we force it off, it will damage our nail beds
