    As someone who literally just started using gel polish, this video couldn't have come at a better time lol I just did an easter mani with builder gel as my overlay on my natural nails and I had the shape somewhat okay but they were nice and smooth, now they look a little thick and lumpy, I now realize I went too heavy with my first coat, I happen to have a gel brush so I think ill also give that a try next time! Thank you for sharing! Happy Easter 💜

    For those of you new to using a drill be sure to file lightly and keep the bit parallel to the nail. Otherwise you may carve into the natural nail. It doesn't take much.

    I have had issues in the past with the gel polish being too thick. The problem was the gel polish. It would get old or too thick in the bottle and hands down the best method I found for fixing this was simply soaking the bottle in hot water. I take water out of my coffee pot and just soak the bottom portion in the water for a minute. It returned to being nice and thin and applied amazingly well.

    I started nails about 18 years ago and spent a lot if time and money when i was still living in Switzerland...
    When i found my hubby in South Africa 8 years ago and moved definitely to this awesome continent i had not the money to go and get my nails done. I started watching videos and bought slowly slowly everything i need to do it myself 😅
    With your support, experiences and ideas i got so motivated that i am now part of the "beginners" and i just love it❣️
    Its becoming a hobby and going to be a passion...i am so happy and i get positiv feedbacks from lots of people😃
    Thanks again, Suzie, please make lots of videos for us...you are a ⭐️

    Thank you for showing wrapping the tips for non-square nails! Most other nail videos I watch have square nails so their wrapping techniques don't really apply since my "tip" goes all the way around without a sharp edge, so it was always like, should I? Where should I stop? Etc. Thick nails are a huge pain for me since my nails are so thin to start with, I super appreciate your videos!

    Flipping the finger up side down at ~45 degrees to the floor for a couple-five seconds before putting it in the lamp also helps to redistribute the bulk from the edge towards the center.

      Honestly Top Coat is not a builder layer/ it’s simple to seal in and create shine
      If your top coat is flowing like that / it’s too thick

    • @DE-qy9om
      @DE-qy9om 2 роки тому +20

      @@NailCareerEducation a top coat can be used for leveling. Yes, it’s not a builder layer and doesn’t add much structural support especially on longer nails. However, when doing nail art design such as adding lines/decals/paintings/etc or even with minor imperfections in regular color layer, a top coat can be used to level and smooth out the final surface. Having said that, one should be mindful of the overall thickness of the finished nail. If done right, the builder layer would be adequate for support, but the nail won’t be bulky even with all finishing/leveling layers.

I've had problems with my nails looking thick and since it can be a while between sets, I thought maybe it was that my polish was old or something. The thing is, the polish isn't lumpy or sticky.
