Adhering the tips with acrylic is a great option as well. The only challenge with that is you have to make sure to hold them long enough until the product completely sets. If you accidentally move them in the curing time, you can end up with air pockets or gaps in the bond to the natural nail.
Thank you for the extra info! I have the protein bond & I am trying to figure out the order or how to use it. Like do I use that with tips if I am just using regular glue after a dehydrator? If I do dehydrator, protein, base coat & UV lamp is that the right order before doing the fiber gel under the tip? I know I am nowhere near a pro. But I feel so turned around by the order and process of different techniques. I want to see what works best for me but I feel like I don’t think I’m doing any of them right because I’m missing info on each one. Press ons from the store, tips, gel extensions 😢

You would remove shine from the nail, cleanse with swipe, protein bond and then fiber gel. ua-cam.com/video/5uk4BRnmF0c/v-deo.htmlsi=hJFBDlqK3mInS0pF Here is our video all about how to use protein bond. ua-cam.com/video/GY8KvVKJlQE/v-deo.htmlsi=rMAYOEJmu1MZsKqr
Those tips look a bit dark for the gel to cure through... I'll take your word for it, but I'll stick to clear. So one thing I've found is to use light Elegance airbond, gelish tip prep or apres tip prep: they all have ethyl acetate and can melt plastic so you don't have to buff.
This video came right on time! I’m going to do a full set of nails this week!!! Thanks for the helpful information!!! 🥰❤️🙏🏾
We are glad we could help!

Thank you for this one!

Is there a tutorial on how to use the Tip & Jewel Bonding Gel for full tips?

Do you have any suggestions for fitting full cover tips to extra wide nails? My thumbs are very wide, and even the Après 00 are not quite wide enough!

When using fiber gel you don’t need base. Just Swipe then Protein Bond. I like to use a thin coat of fiber gel AS a base though.
If you are applying tips, you would use protein bond after applying the tip.

How long do full coverage tips stay on?
If I apply then with Fiber gel, I can easily get 4 weeks out of them. I fill them at two weeks and they look great.
With fiber gel, they can last 3+ weeks with proper prep and application and can be filled as well.
When are you guys going to stock the tiny mandrel and sanding bands? That big old band doesn’t really fit in smaller tips.
Thanks for the suggestion, we will let the team know.
