    I really like the idea of doing the first layer half way up your nail then the second from the cuticle.. Great idea to strengthen the nail...
    I'm going to try this bit using tips.. first time.

Thank you for the suggestions of what to purchase, I just bought the clips! This is the best video on UA-cam for diy builder gel + nail forms!!! :)

      Ah, me too! And how many times I've completely muffed something up doing it my own way, because I wasn't told the 'because' in the first place. That really is the mark of a good teacher--someone who answers the 'whys' before we have to ask. :)

      I was going to say the same thing. The directions with the box and every other youtuber only do one later but i couldn't for the life of me get it to stop flooding under my natural nail at the tip of my finger. I was throwing in the towel and happened to heat this one keep playing as i was cleaning up and it just recharged my energy and drive to give gel a chance. Fingers crossed this technique saves the day for me!!

    I have to say I am so excited to run across this video. I have watched thousands of videos over the years and I've never seen quite this process of doing the dual layers with the builder gel and this is exactly what I needed to see as I'm growing out my own nails while keeping them Secured with product. Absolutely love this and I am going to do this process in the near future. Subscribed!

    I've never done builder gel before and have some coming my way in the mail soon. This video was super informative. I can't use a nail file as I can't stand the sound or touching it. What kind of clippers did you use to trim your nails?

  • @bettymcmartin8752
    @bettymcmartin8752 6 місяців тому

    Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to doing my own nails & then possibly my daughters. The last time I did mine & hers was in '97 with acrylics. Oh boy was I exhausted when done. I had do buff nearly half of the product off to get a natural look & shape! I did my daughter, her friend & mine! It was my first time, but after many hours they actually looked pretty good. And I'm not one for boasting in myself. The girls had a dance & were so excited!
    I do have a question though. After getting the length I want, I want to add color. Silly question, but do I use the primer next then color then the top coat?
    Thank you for your time & going at a pace that was perfect.
    God Bless you!

    If you are watching this and find that final press under the light has air pockets on the nail bed, try practicing your technique using a drop of hand sanitizer in the form over the bare nail rather than gel. You find out where the pressure points are to release bubbles with way less sticky mess.

  • @MaxineShaw_84

    am curious about doing acrylic nails different from how they are done by step by step. Yes, it is true that they do not last since they always say to remove the shine from the nails, so that way they last much longer. Now when I do it, of course, I will let you know just as Well, if it's a myth, it's actually that you have to do that step because the truth is, I think it takes away the strength of your nails.I'll give you my results for sure because curiosity killed the cat and I'm really curious.

      Because they dont want to take the time to learn a new product. A lot of nail tech only specialize in one product. Its easier to find a tech that specializes in hard gel.

      They know they just rather damage ur nails with a drill acrylic. This is definitely a better option for strengthening natural nails

      Probably because it takes a little longer and most salons are interested in getting you in and out as fast as possible.

      It can be on the more unknown for most at nail salons... It can be a number of reasons but it could also be more expensive than acrylic.. like to get the supplies and to find a tech that knows how to use this medium

    Would you say that using dual forms is only good for those with longer nails? My nails are pretty short (not past the skin of my finger like yours) and I usually use glue on tips then apply builder gel over it, however I was trying to avoid that step. Would you recommend using dual forms for shorter nails? Thanks!

      Felicia Santos yes, you can definitely use dual forms with short nails. When I first started using dual forms I had super short nails. I would use the form to give my nails length and I would use them without tips. I hope this helped 😊
