Sea shell design using builder gel.

[@j0annepan]

This was really helpful, I’ve been trying to figure out what’s needed to create those abstract 3D fluid gold nails, I think builder gel in the pot is what I’ll need!

[@1kcook]

nail dad could you tell me the brand builder gel youre using?

[@fineappledot__1]

I use the gel glue for my 3d designs but I notice that it gets dirty so I top coat it carefully after I’m done. Is there another method to prevent this?

[@aartibuddan4590]

This is very helpful thank you

[@kimberleyamber4918]

[@christinalapoint4135]

My lines don’t come out that good. What’s the trick for the shape

[@sheryllrecaplaza7862]

What did you call this? I do this,but it's not working, 😅

[@angelrussell1616]

What if i want to chrome the top as well?

[@sunshinenailedit3]

I love this design! And yea builder gel is a no

[@princesseleazar824]

Why is it a no , I'm learning 😊

[@roxannelilymaria2581]

Use rhinestone glue instead. Works better for me ​@@princesseleazar824

[@stephanierenteria5347]

What brand is this 😭

[@liquidchaos333]

thats what im tryna figure out

[@jessmyarchiveofeverything4341]

So skip top coat after builder gel in the style of application and then just flash cure?

[@simple_naildesigns]

Yes, that’s what I understood from him too.

[@augustinaudah5427]

But it’ll be sticky after drying right?

[@that.ll_do_pig]

If it is, just wipe with alcohol and it won't be ​@@augustinaudah5427

[@purvimehra5146]

You have to clean it with acetone to remove it's sticknes

[@NhanNguyen-kt7iu]

No clean( no wipe) builder gel.

[@Happy_Gems]

So b we don’t need topcoat after!??

[@B.Flower.92]

Bonita🧜🏽‍♀️ 🐚

[@carliec7745]

So is it recommended to top coat the base first before doing the shell design?

[@Make_Money_With_Kristen1]

Yes

[@lovelynailsbyjermy4405]

Are you flash curing each time

[@PopaRoxanageorgiana-mn9dd]

Yes,with a small lamp,few sec,then full cure after u make all the line

[@IndigoBlue12]

I'm not crazy about this. It reminds me of 1990 when everyone had peach and mint pastel color all over their houses decorated with either these clam shells and pearls or cheap gaudy lace... before that was the hunter green phase- everyone had a dark green couch ... lol not my cup of tea but we.. to each his own

[@mariahallysia]

so top coat goes on then builder gel ? also can you use diamond nail glue for this ?

[@josiiebonilla2661]

No love so you put your Matt or top coat which ever you want and then you put the builder gel on top you never top coat it

[@shancxkai]

....that's what they said though.​@@josiiebonilla2661

[@westcoastnailart3820]

So you don’t seal the chrome effect with gel? You just straight go over it with the builder gel?

[@purvimehra5146]

He has done it with mat top coat and then done with builder gel

[@AJCJunkie]

Hello there, what type of builder gel is this? I have one that’s too hard and one that’s too runny 😢

[@NailDadStudio]

Hi any type of builder gel that’s non cleanse meaning when it’s cured it’s not tacky

[@Kemacraft]

Pls do you wipe after using the build gel , because mine never drys 😢

[@kimberleyamber4918]

You need to put it in the UV lamp x

[@Arithekiller]

Takes some time depending on the thickness of the design you did, 1 or 2 mn under LED lamp should do it for the kind of design shown in the video, usually this is non wipe so it shouldn't be tacky

[@vivianschannel1922]

Where can I buy no wipe builder gel? I looked ans can't find any

[@Arithekiller]

@@vivianschannel1922 There are some specific ones made for making designs like this or charms that are called 3D gel, you can also use regular clear builder gel and top coat it or Rhinestone glue (the thick kind that comes in a pot as they usually don’t require wiping)

[@kreamybhabhie1176]

Mine is tacky even after i dry it what do i do please?😭😭

[@purvimehra5146]

You have to clean it with acetone so that it doesn't sticks anymore and it's all donee..

[@melissaortiz1367]

Amazing ❤

[@D1AL0GS]

My builder gel won’t fully cure

[@newchannelkirtihasijaa]

it remains sticky! same

[@D1AL0GS]

@@newchannelkirtihasijaa i realized why it’s sticky after looking some stuff up, and u just need topcoat because all gels have a sticky layer, and if your top coat has a sticky layer you can wipe it off with either alcohol or acetone i can’t remember

[@beverlyodell6997]

Do you clean the builder gel

[@madymisucreations9191]

Yes to take the sticky residue off tho I think he is using one that doesn't need wiping

[@purvimehra5146]

Or acetone could also be used to clean
