New subscriber 👋 this is the only video I’ve watched so far but I love your designs and I like how you showed things that you did that didn’t work for you and how you fixed/changed it. I was thinking the same about the blue chrome over the center with the mylar iridescent flakes and it turned out really pretty and dimensional opal like! Love it. I’m definitely saving this video for inspiration on the next set I do. ❤

[@thenailwizrd]

I love the blue😍 such a nice winter vibe 🩵

[@avaldez823]

I love all of your sets.

[@ashleywells2264]

Cute!!!! Middle nail and thumb were my favorites! Definitely a spacey vibe, and I'm here for it!!!!

[@MzLaChulaNailz]

Me too! Im in love with almond nails now! First mine was coffin then coffin and stiletto then only stilettos but now I'm in love with almond shape so much!

[@kandirain_1172]

I like that u're branching out and trying new things. I understand u want to do and learn new things and im here for it. Now, I was concerned about that middle "fanguh" 😅 but I guess I should've had more faith in u. That one ended up being my favorite. ❤

[@strawberrynails9438]

umm well I think you should have definitely blended that tip out with an e-file or a regular file before adding on the builder gel to the cudicle area.

[@Hannaworld246]

We are here😊

[@nadeaf82]

❤❤❤❤ this set! Gorgeous

[@jamador321]

🩵Super cute. Thumb & middle nail are my faves. I've also been flocking to almond shape nails as well!🩵

[@arianefermin]

Just searched up 3D nail art and of course my girl popped up, perfect timing 😍

[@NailsByVic]

[@OladBeauty]

Thank you for sharing. Thank you 😍

[@Signedaprettysag]

[@kwildernurse]

Definitely buff nails before bg and Definitely shape ❤beautiful job ty

[@rachelno9229]

LOVE this set. Looks super Icy and spacey. Not such a huge fan of the pinkie nail but it all comes together. Please do more abstract sets like this! So cool to see the process

[@kathleenjoseph4316]

Amazing as usual!!!!!!!!!!

[@TishaInTexas]

I've been waiting for a gelx tutorial! ❤

[@sk0nst3r11]

love these they are so cute💕😍

[@dorothyallran-ph4ty]

I think these turned out amazing, and I love that they are different! You did a great job applying the builder gel girl!! TYFS and doing a review on that brand of BIAB! 😃

[@jasminecotto1971]

I have that clear builder gel in the brand gaoy and i love it as well as the base and top coat. The set came out super cute

[@janetg.6295]

Great nail set and pretty bracelet ❤

[@lorrieholsten2521]

Love the designs, they are unique, Love all the 3d art, I like to hand paint my designs for the most part, abstract is awesome no matter what season. ❤

[@samsdns1]

I swear by modelones builder get. Handsdown my favorite

[@CaStheGr8]

I love this

[@NailsByVic]

💕💕

[@mamacado22]

Your version of "I don't know what I'm doing" and still ending up with a beautiful set is *chefs kiss* Mine would look like a 5 year old did it

[@catsyeetus9842]

THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD 🤙🤙

[@user-bu3om9qj8m]

Hey girl I love watching u do your nails and I love doing my own nails and getting my hair done I want to see u do more nails and see u go shopping for women clothes and stuff like shopping for clothes and shoes and accessories and food keep up the great work 😊love u 💖

[@amandaann3272]

I just did my first blue set! It’s a really deep blue & it’s anew favorite! I usually have to take my tips as far down as possible but they all have a slight c curve. Would they have to be flat to do it this way? I’ve seen Korean videos and this is how they do it. Such a seamless look! I’ve mastered mine & they look good but this would make them look perfect Susie from NCE has stated that false tips don’t need a base coat! I haven’t tried it yet but I’m going to test it out! These are so cute! Love this set 🩵

[@Tipsbyjen]

Oooh I need to try those biab from gaoy

[@aliciac_4898]

You definitely branching off from polygel!!

[@tiachandler5350]

These are beautiful i love the chromes you had where are they from if you can remember where you got them from

[@HayleyMarie111]

These are gorgeous 😍 how long does the peel off base last 4 you? I'm new to filming and haven't gotten a good peel off base yet

[@jellyjell17]

What is the purpose of builder nail gel? Seems like it’s good for fill ins.

[@LESREID2]

You need to paint a thin coat on the etched part and then wipe the excess on the bottom edge, then apply.

[@ZeldaMontaigneNailKorner]

💝🎀🌹 Great job 💯‼️ Thank you 😄

[@Mya33377]

Gaoy is the best brand always been good to me

[@kalishajnz]

I really liked this set, but I didn't see the point of the builder gel. Do you think it added anything vs. just using gel polish? I love the designs and the pretty blue color. You did a great job!! 💜

[@latammiaslavishnails]

Hey Vic, how are you? Awesome nail set ❤

[@NailsByVic]

doing great!!! hope u are too!

[@officialgiannagotplays9527]

One nail tech to another, and from trial and error. You were having air pockets because you used builder gel to apply the gelx . 100% guaranteed will even pop off with proper prep, and for any nail tech reading, Amazon sells rubber base gels and gel glue that work amazing

[@yungantwon8686]

💯💯 yes! Sometimes builder can have to much tacky layer or is not sticky to the natural nail! Rubber base all the way

[@germanyluv]

I used builder gel for my application all the time. The only reason i switched to a thick putty/glue is because it's less stress while curing.

[@osopetty1761]

That makes no sense, Glue gel is builder gel, which is a soft gel. Rubber base, builder, glue gel etc can all give you air bubbles, you just have to know how to use the product to avoid the air bubbles.

[@osopetty1761]

There are gelx sets that comes with builder gel to adhere the nails ex. Kiara sky and après comes with builder gel to apply the nails. Are you a DIY nail tech? Because a professional wouldn’t have said that. Builder gel is soft gel, hard gel would be different.

[@osopetty1761]

@@yungantwon8686yes it will if you prep properly, y’all are giving her info that’s not true. Saying it has too much of a sticky layer makes no sense

[@shermiravincent1575]

😍😍😍😍

[@FabulousLife615]

💙💙💙

[@DarthKater311]

I was watching one of your videos and you had stated you wished you could just wear your nails the way they look when the fill is done but before the gel polish. A nice soft pink. Well, i was doing my nails and i thought the same thing. And i said F IT Im keeping it like that. Threw on some matte top coat on and i love it 😍

[@LoveLilScarlette]

What do you use to wipe off the sticky layer on the nail?

[@nailsandjesus2106]

🎉🎉🎉 hey

[@NovelistDienne]

I Must be tripping but where is the link to your Amazon Storefront so I can shop through your lists?

[@dev_sim]

I'm curious about any idea for the middle nail

[@XoDru]

💙😍

[@stillirise4773]

Hiiiiiiii🎉

[@cryssieg6731]

Those two middle nails gave Vecna in Wonderland

[@Blueb3rrie]

You should use jello jello

[@PreppingAngel]

Love the nail set but the ring finger just needs something in the voids. :)

[@Jaded-Space]

I recently bough that same Gaoy builder gel and is having the same issues, even tried changing the brand of nails and they still pop off.

[@nickkiboo2015]

These are gorgeous, also just wanted to let you know that your code for makartt doesn’t work

[@drieumonay8207]

Q: i thought builder gel was considered a hard gel so when manufacturers present biab and are claiming it’s a soft gel but it’s a builder gel I get really confused. I really want to understand these products and how they work…I’m a beginner nail tech and I just want to have the right information. So if anyone in the comments can piggyback and give some in sight would be great and maybe recommend some products to use.

[@lifeascassandra5758]

Ok biab is considered a soft gel because you use it for over lays and it can be soaked off unlike hard gel.

[@pr3ttyyrickyy91]

Remember for next time to flip ur nail upside down so it can level out ..live the design tho!

[@landontoocoolundercover1539]

Stick to polygel square there's just something about those sets that ofcours I can always go back and watch. As a brand that you are vic polygel is what your know for and when you feel like we are sick of the same thing never when it's a great thing your polygel sets are the best 🎉

[@willone6560]

Girl shut up

[@germanyluv]

Nah. She should definitely branch out to other things. It's all similar nail products anyway! But even if she decided to start training for a marathon and posted that thats also her business to branch out and fulfil herself!

[@torischwartz745]

I’m not i to this style of nails so I’m sorry but I don’t like them not to say u didn’t do a good job cuz I always do

[@PaperTigress]

[@nailsandjesus2106]
