I can’t believe this worked😧💅🏻

ok WOW this is so much better, what an upgrade over just gluing on a press on nail to hide that fact that I broke one nail. This is why I love listening to y'all. ;) Also if you want to get into gel nails PLEASE do all your research and follow all product instructions, I'm not a nail tech just a girlie on her diy journey so don't listen to me. 😉 Hyper realistic nails extensions, anyone?

hey! they now have a concealer version! it’s like the pink base you use in your videos except in builder gel form! it’s a lot easier to work with imo because of the fact that it’s thicker, and it’s so so pretty!!! i don’t even really have to worry about breaking a nail. since i’m a figure skater i take some pretty life flash before my eyes falls, and not once have i had to worry about breaking a natural nail!!

[@lesya.taarasova]

You CANNOT remove gel this way, its very harmful to the nail plate, its always better to file it down to a thin layer with a file. If in the long run you remove the gel like in this video, your nails will become papery and break. I am a nailteck from Russia. I know what I'm talking about. Please be gantle to your nails bebe

Well done! ❤ I am a nail tech of over 20 years and LOVE how honest you are and tell people to learn from a nail tech. I appreciate your respect. I see some influencers trying to teach but are not nail techs. There is nothing wrong with just admitting you are playing around. It makes people feel better to know things like it took 3 times to get the form right! It’s way more helpful to people to just show them what you know and be honest about it! ❤ Keep up the great work! With your nails and your channel. That colour match was on point! Your honesty and respect was on point too!

​@Dolcevita_bakes it's called gratitude and respect. Perhaps familiarise yourself with those things. Your comment was totally unnecessary and nasty.

[@charityrocks]

@@Dolcevita_bakes You sound very jealous. Do you not have any skills that require praise? It takes more than jealousy to become skilled at something. If you spend your time working hard then you won’t have time to be jealous anymore I promise! I’m sorry you are not happy enough in your life to not get upset at someone else getting a bit of praise on the internet. This really shouldn’t have been so inflammatory for you. Do you know the person posting this video?Because it seems like maybe you are more emotionally invested here than a stranger would be.

Yaaas it’s my favorite builder gel ! I just prep my nail differently 😊

[@amandah2866]

Most builder gels are supposed to move. It allows the nail tech to build a whole nail with one bead. You can buy super thick gels that don't move as much but they can be tricky to use. You did a great job! The nail looks so natural!! BTW, forms are a special art to put on. You did well to get it to fix after only 3 tries.

[@NicolesBeautyScene]

Builder gel is my favorite!! You did great!!

You can try to put the little circle part on the back of the edge of the tip. Its what i do when i use forms and, It makes it more sturdy and will help with shaping it to your nails!! In my humble opinion, that is.😊

[@antoinettegadson7503]

IT LOOKS SO REAL

[@3llevate]

PRO TIP: You CAN file natural nails back and forth to get some length down quick but stop a millimeter before and one way file the rest! (I was blessed with strong hard nails so filing them down every few weeks would take forever so I just go ham on length and be gentle when I get to my desired length.. if I try to clip them, i still have to clip them far from the length i want because they snip off crooked or jagged sometimes)

[@rebeccamatist7036]

I’ve been backfilling for like two months. Builder gel can last hella long! And some shifting is normal. Flip your nail upside down for a few seconds and gravity will help do all the work and I get a great shape that I love!

[@_mariaababe_]

Omg, she's watching Dylan welcome to the troublemaker family ❤😂

[@dancesmokesmile344]

As a professional nail tech, that builder gel didn’t look like it was good quality at all. But also remember to clean your nail with something like rubbing alcohol first (a very pure one, or preferably get an alcohol cleaner specifically for gel nails) and use a gel prep first.

[@bearintheden7736]

Oh my gosh first a sec I thought you ripped your nail off when you took off the old nail gel. That scared the crap outta me XD

I do builder overlays on my naturals. Never ever break on me & I groomdogs... so my hands take a beating, trust me lol. I probably do a little thicker than you do, but not by much. When time to fill, you can full instead of complete soak offs too! Just make sure no lifting 1st

As someone in nail tech school, you can absolutely go back and forth with the file on ANY nail enhancements, but NOT on the natural nail, as you said. 😊 these look really nice! Also love that you have an Aprés lamp

[@elfdiep]

hey, sorry, just curious - why not? does it damage the nail?

[@dragonprism]

According to Doug Schoon, cosmetic scientist and author of Nail Structure & Product Chemistry, it doesn't matter which way you file. The original fear is that the see-saw motion excessively frays the keratin fibers in the nail plate, leading to peeling and breakage. He found in testing that regardless of which way he filed, no way presented more 'fraying' fibers than the others. It's a myth. It's a pretty pernicious myth, too, given how nail techs split on the issue. For every tech you find that was taught during their education this was true, you'll find techs who were taught the opposite.

[@tothelakes]

​@@elfdiep yeah i think it adds to much pressure on the nail bed

[@elfdiep]

[@thegraytergood]

[@cjinpa5713]

You can file back and forth on natural nails and to take length down even with a 100 grit. You just have to buff down from the top with a 180 after only on the very edge that’s filed. I had long beautiful natural nails my whole life. Techniques depend on nail health. At first I’d file in one direction on my poor bitten nails but once all the purposeful peeled sections grew out that need was gone. Flexible nails straight out of the shower a huge no no. Great for toe nail clipping and filing however. Just be mindful of each nail’s condition.

[@MelissaHurley1994]

Looks easier than i thought. I was looking at some of those products on amazon.... 😅

[@tamary6495]

You should use hard gel (or hybrid gel or acrylic) for building nails. Builder gel is made to make your nails stronger but not to build out nail because it’s not hard enough ( I do think that since this is pretty short extension it would last tho)

[@yenyandco]

[@aasthasinha4161]

But I've done a bit of research on this oil, the fact that they've picked a common name for the brand and not really built a consistent brand identity has contributed to many fake ones copying them. Its now hard for them to defend the authenticity of their brand. Most of their posts are about creating awareness around the fake products. So they don't have much time putting up better content, you know.
