Thanks Carmen!

[@msrachelg]

thank you SO MUCH for this video! I'll be referring to this trying it out myself. Ever since I switched to natural nails, I still loved the look of French ombre. I thought I'd have to sacrifice that. The only ways I've known it can be done is the traditional powder method (most salons do it this way) but I wanna stay away from powders or I've seen the airbrush way (which isn't common in most salons). I was looking into builder gels from the gel bottle and then BAM I saw you achieve the French ombre with your naturals nails and just gel polish!

Hey can you mix it with other brands? (apply BIAB as a base and then on top other gelish brands like CND or OPI)

[@ShonaghScott]

Absolutely!

[@laineyspangler4246]

So you use builder gel as your "Gel" polish? I understand you do not extend the nail with the builder gel. What is the reason for using builder gel rather than regular gel? You nails look beautiful. Just wondering if Builder gel would be longer lasting than the regular gel or dip powder that I have on hand. Thank you. New at this, and so far, dip and/or gel is lasting at most 5 days! :(

[@ShonaghScott]

You can extend the nail with builder gel but you need a form, a form is a sticker that sits under your natural nail tip and sticks around the finger to support it while you build on it. Sort of hard to explain. You can layer the builder off the natural nail and along the form, once cured you can remove the paper form, leaving you with an extended nail to continue to build upon. You can use regular gel polish over the top of your builder gel, the purpose of it is to strengthen your natural nails. This lasts me until I either remove it or build on top of it as an infill.

Hello there, kindred spirit! :) I am eager to try this technique, although I am not a nail technician, I just do it for fun. Can you, please, tell me what to do in case of severe itching at the fingers level? I keep getting this when using the lamp and UV gels/polishes. Do you know of any treatment for this? I keep getting this itch every time I have my nails done at home or at a salon. Thanks!

[@heatherfisher6150]

I recently learned that you can become allergic to gel polish if it gets on your skin. I have started keeping a small container of acetone and a brush next to me when I am applying the gel and I clean off any that gets on my skin before I cure it and this has cured my itching.

[@KARINA.2019]

Love this tutorial. I am in the USA it looks like for the Evo high pigment you need a license to buy. Any alternative or suggestion? Thanks 😊

[@ShonaghScott]

Hmm, you could try a regular white paint like acrylic, really take time bouncing it off onto a flat surface before bouncing it onto your nails.

[@claddagh1981]

This is fab, very pretty. During lockdown I was doing my nails myself, and once it lifted the company I was purchasing from for a whole year told me it was an error that you need a licence to purchase. DEVISTATED is an understatement :/

[@ShonaghScott]

Ahh no!!! That sucks, and totally immoral. Was it this company? Or another?

[@claddagh1981]

@@ShonaghScott No another, Terrisales :( spent a fortune too. On the lookout for a good site, fast shipping and i=nice products so may give this a try :)

[@iwonaurbanska8846]

Hey Shonagh this gel is like shillac or gelish? or something more stonger like polygel?Thanks in advance

[@ShonaghScott]

It’s much stronger than Shellac & Gelish, I’m not familiar with Polygel but this one is not flexible, it’s very solid! But can still be soaked off, however, I find it quicker to e-file it down. Hope that helps!

How do you get it off your nails

[@rajaayona1376]

is this kind of nail polish can be removed by normal acetone?

[@ShonaghScott]

Yes, 100% acetone on cotton covered in foil will break this down. Buff away the top coat first!

[@sherryCasey-gs7ux]

Where do you buy it at

[@leylaleyla3823]

Can I find this on amazon, what should I write? 🥺

[@cantstanditanymore]

Seriously?

[@stacey9588]

Is there another brand or option for the white bio sculpture pigment gel ?

[@ShonaghScott]

Not that I’ve come across.

[@sabrinakhan7130]

How long would these typically last?

[@ShonaghScott]

Until you either infill them (in my case 3 weeks later) or remove them! Because of the natural base colour the grow off is virtually undetectable.

[@Shadowninja348]

Can u do same ombré with acrylic ?

[@ShonaghScott]

Likely! Although, I don’t use acrylic so I’m not 100% sure.

[@renatafarkasovska5850]

❤️👏👍

[@ShonaghScott]

Thank you!

[@Moon_Child_Star]

Why do you use the thin brush on the side of your nails after you apply the builder gel?

[@ShonaghScott]

To pull the gel gently into the side walls of the nail-bed. The brush in the bottles is too big to pull down the side walls and often deposits too much gel in this area, making them thicker and risking the gel pooling in the side walls.

[@flitzpiepe1390]

Wow is this cool 🌺🫶👍😍🥰💐💐💐💐

[@ShonaghScott]

Thank you!!

[@xeverlore]

can you do this with normal / any gel?

[@ShonaghScott]

Hmm, I’ve not tried the ombré on generic gel but I’m SURE it would work, just make sure to remove the tacky layer first.

Why is this called baby boomer manicure? Is it the French tip style or ombré technique or the combination that gives it this name. Excellent tutorial! Thanks.

[@ShonaghScott]

It’s the ombré element that gives it that name. I really dislike the name 😂 I prefer ombré French! Much classier.

[@katyp.2495]

Your nails look really beautiful, but it's not something I could do myself. The lack of steady hands for one thing, and patience for another 😏! Would a normal nail salon do this, or is it more specialised? 💖

[@ShonaghScott]

I think most salons would offer a form of ombré French?! Have a look locally.

It does self level but you still need to manipulate it so that it doesn’t pool in the side walls, and that the apex is more pronounced.

[@slaybells6848]

Can I ask why you don't do nails professionally anymore ? Was it just not being passionate or not making enough money? I'm asking you as I need some honesty as I'm thinking about starting a nail business:)

[@ShonaghScott]

Being a makeup artist, often makeovers took the same sort of time as a mani but the money for nails compared to makeovers was no comparison. And after a few years the novelty of nails wore off and I decided I didn’t want to do it professionally anymore. That’s just me though :)
