Hi! Because of your vids I finally took a deep dive into Japanese nuance nails. They also reignited my curiosity in Ageha gel. I was planning on buying a couple shades from Ageha, but I was curious what lamp use use to cure their gels? Or what lamp you find does a good job curing Japanese gels. Thanks so much!!

So happy to hear that!! 🥰 I would suggest looking up their catalogue and seeing what specific nm wavelength their gels cure at and ensuring whatever lamp you're buying also cures at that level. Ofc their own brand lamp is the safest and best bet but they can run you quite a lot of money. I personally just use a SUNUV brand lamp I bought many years ago and it has not failed me yet!

The reason why it really didnt caught on too well here in the west cos a lot of nail tech here in the west just want easy design. Most of them just wanna paint a nail will full color, then little bit glitter .. Unlike in the east most asian are very creative and always put effort on their work ( not just will nails but in everything they do ).. I always see videos from the east usually Asians made the best designs of nails you cannot even figure out how they do it.. Especially the nuance style it looks so much expensive and hard work… that’s all i wanna say and it is my opinion base on my observation …

The art is what initially drew me to Japanese nail art almost 10 years ago! The work was just way ahead of what artists here were doing at the time! Now the west is catching up tho! I see some amazing work on the web and I do think social media/accessibility of products has played an important role in this.

Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing. The one question I have is, do you put the builder gel on after you do the nuance design? And then top coat? I always thought the builder gel went on after base coat. Thanks!

[@DessinDesignNails]

Thanks for asking! Yes you're right - traditionally builder gel is used for creating extensions/thickness/strength. Here the one I'm using is a little bit more runny that a normal builder gel and is formulated for overlays (on the natural nail). I do a thin layer over the artwork to smooth it out before top coat since this style of art can leave some bumps. Alternatively there are some top coats that are on the thicker side that can level out the surface all in one so you can skip the builder!

love your tutorials and i loved this design! Once you make a set like this, do you actually use it as press ons? or is it truly for tutorial purposes? If you do use it as press ons, do you just use nail glue? Thanks so much for the work you do on this platform!!

[@DessinDesignNails]

thank you!! ❤️ these ones here I just made for the tutorial, but I do make sets as press-ons! Especially if they're super complicated designs you can keep them and wear them again and again 😊 Personally I prefer sticky tabs and just switching them out since nail glue can ruin the press-ons and your natural nails with removal

Hi! I love this tutorial~ I wanted to ask if you have any recommendations for alternatives to the DGEL Mid pump builder. I really want to purchase this product but I'm just a beginner. Would a thicker top coat, like Kupa, do the same thing or is the formula of the DGEL important for blending? Thank you so much!

[@DessinDesignNails]

any clear gel polish will work 😊 Feel free to use your top coats/base coats! I actually recommend using a slightly thinner formula than the dgel I use in the video because it will be easier to spread and work with!
