      @JourneyswithJai Question, if you can help. I notice my builder gel ( I use Beetles) doesn't cue. Why is that. When I do my nails without it it's less Hassel for everything to cue.

    • @JourneyswithJai

      It’s not curing in your lamp? I’ve never heard of that before I would reach out to the brand to see why that may be. Sorry that’s happening.

    As always, I 🫶🏽 your videos!! I also purchased “b072 Pink Champagne” because of watching your videos and it’s one of my favorite Beetles polishes! It’s the perfect cover nude polish for my skin tone, as I’m a bit darker than you.
    Thanks! 😊
    I do have a question……
    I usually use primer to etch underneath my Gel X nails instead of using an e-file to etch and to also help with adherence, but you used a dehydrator. Do you like using a dehydrator more….does it work better than a primer?
    I’m curious! 🤔💭

    • @JourneyswithJai
      @JourneyswithJai  2 місяці тому

      Hi, if the primer works for you there is no need for the dehydrator during that step I have used a few different methods but I tend to reach for the dehydrator more. ☺️🤍

      are you using gel? if so, after curing your first layer of polish, if you start your second layer and mess up you can just remove with nail polish remover.

      I guess it makes it more seamless from what I could gather. I'm just learning this as well. I'm also thinking that it is easier to fill that gap when the nail grows out. It's a great question and the first I had since seeing this method

    Hey. So I've been watching your videos over and over since yesterday lol. In this video I belive you use a base coat before adding the gel extend and the nail tip, in another video that doesn't involve the overlay method you use no base coat. What do you recommend if I do the overlay method? Base coat on natural nails or no base coat? Currently loading up my Amazon cart with your recommendations as I'm done paying 95 for acrylic refills

    • @JourneyswithJai
      @JourneyswithJai  2 місяці тому +2

      Hi, yes, I typically do not use base coats, but I’m trying to get more into utilizing the base coats that I have as gel typically calls for basecoat, but it is not necessarily needed for the overlay method to last. 🤍

      To apply just the full coverage tips (not painting or nail art etc) should only take a few min. Where do u feel like u r struggling? Like too much adhesive gel/not enough, or getting the tips straight, etc.
      It does take a lil practice but maybe I can share some tips (even tho u weren't asking me 😬 sorry! I just noticed she wasn't able to get back to u yet!)
