Fantastic video Bell ! I do love that gel brush . I ordered about 4 so I have extra ....but they last so well , I have not needed to use another new one yet . I want to share this video on my FB nail page .
Fabulous step by step video Bell 😍...I haven't tried these as of yet 😕 it's the brush that's always put me off but it's good to know that it stores well in an opaque jar if using with a different Gel brush 👍 I love that brush too ..I ordered a couple after watching Denise recommend it 😍...Lovely tutorial TY 😘 xox
Thank you Sharon. I hope you are well hun. I totally suggest using a separate brush especially if the product is as thick as mine. I have seen other videos where its slightly thinner and looks easier to work with the brush in the bottle. As I don't use builder gels a lot I just found this way so much easier for me. Thank you for watching and commenting, you continued support means so much to me xXx
Hi there. I am so sorry but I am really not sure. It was definitely a Madam Glam gel polish and I think it might have been Bubble Gum, I love that colour so much and I remember I wore it around that time. Sorry I can't be more helpful x
ahahaha really? That is such a fluke. Either way Bubble Gum is such a beautiful colour, I wore it twice for a whole 6 weeks. I am sure you will love it xXx
nails getting thicker at the edge is good as if means you have done your apex correctly. Of course as the apex grows out it will be the thickest part of the nail. To overcome this all you can do is file. I like to start at the free edge and use my file back and forth until the free edge becomes thinner. Then i blend it into the rest of the nail. Doing this in your prep is the best way and when you apply the new product it will smooth it all out. If you are trained in using an efile this makes the work a lot easier and I highly recommend it. As for getting a nice C curve that is where a pinching tool comes in handy. You can buy these off ebay relatively cheap.
when you do a refill you need to not only fill in the gap but also re-balance the rest of the enhancement, you will need to file and shape it to eliminate these kinds of issues. The thickness is there because the apex has grown out. Filing the free edge from the top will help. I am not sure why the c-curve would be affected. You could try pinching the nail with a pinching tool as it could just be the way your nail grows. I hope this helps x
isnt a fill the same with acrylic and gel? fill is for cuticle area growth and back fill is that and cutting in a new smile line. Do other countries call it refill?
Great video, haven't tried Madam Glam yet but their products all look amazing :) Where did you get the brush and your cuticle pusher looks like it does a great job, I have one but it doesn't appear to remove the dead cuticle as good as yours does? xx
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you Suz, somehow I missed this comment. I like the MG builder gels and have been using them on myself for a while now, they are really nice. But I only have short nails so its economical for me. Here is the link for the brush www.ebay.com.au/itm/131572348374?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Its cheap but a goodie. I have bought a few for spares just in case but the original one is still going strong and because they have a cap even if you do have some gel residue on it, once the cap is on it doesnt cure. The cuticle pusher is from an Australian seller on ebay, I am not sure if they post overseas or not. I cant find the exact same as mine but here is the link to a similar one they sell www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nail-Pusher-Cuticle-Remover-Nipper-Tool-Spoon-Clipper-Manicure-New-/182176546494?hash=item2a6a917ebe:g:YbwAAOSwiylXAMBs And yes the one I use is really really good at removing all cuticle off the plate. I never have to use a cuticle bit on my efile because I find my cuticle removal tool does such a good job. You just have to make sure you use it at the correct angle and not apply too much pressure or you could damage the nail plate.

hey girl! what was that beautiful muted pink you had on before the refill?
Hi there. I am so sorry but I am really not sure. It was definitely a Madam Glam gel polish and I think it might have been Bubble Gum, I love that colour so much and I remember I wore it around that time. Sorry I can't be more helpful x
hahah well hey, lucky me! I just ordered bubble gum in my monthly box! thanks for the thought!
ahahaha really? That is such a fluke.
Either way Bubble Gum is such a beautiful colour, I wore it twice for a whole 6 weeks. I am sure you will love it xXx
Thanks for this demonstration. I'm considering getting this builder to help protect my natural nails, not necessarily to extend them, like you did.
You're welcome. I think the gel is perfect for a natural nail overlay. x
awesome! love the color 😍
thank you Janie x
Thanks for sharing love! 💅 💕
thank you Leslie x
Whenever I do a fill and file length off my nails they get super thick and chunky and lose their c curve. How can I fix this? Xo

yes in Australia its commonly called a refill
Do you wipe the builder gel before curing or after curing?
after curing, before shaping and filing. If you wiped before curing you would wipe the product off.
