    That is non-acid type of primer. Such primers are pretty common among russian nail techs.
    That thicker texture and shine creates a sticky layer. It increases adhesive between natural nail and gel nail. It is also works less aggressive, than what you called alcohol base primer.

    Hey Evie! Just a lil tip, if you want to find out if your tips are gel or plastic, just soak them in acetone. If they turn white, they are plastic. If they turn into a clear gelly consistency, they are made of gel. Love the video! You always put me on! ❤️💅🏾

      You can also bend them down the center and they will create a white line. If when u bend it back in place the white line disappears, it’s gel. If not, it’s plastic.

    So y’all, I got this set, but I also bought a bottle of builder gel on Amazon as well as a set of dehydrator and primer, and attached these tips with the builder gel using the mini-lamp. I guess I wanted to be sure the nails were attached with gel because the bottle provided says it’s glue. I may not have needed to do all that but my nails have been on for 3 weeks and they’re strong!
    By the way, my mini-lamp turns off after 60 seconds 🤷🏼‍♀️

You literally do just as you showed; put the glue on the inside of the nail, apply it to your nail and hold in place under the light, and you’re done! Well, except for polishing…..

    I got this kit months ago. I love it. The nails stay on really well with no lifting. I had to file and soak off after 3 weeks. As for the single finger lamp, I have at least 5 of that "c" shape lamps that came with various gel polish brands "starter" kits over the last 5 years.
    I found a trick for faster cleanup. I use peel off latex on the skin around my nails before putting the tip on. That way if I get a small leak around the edge it doesn't stick to my skin and is easier to file off

    Fun fact: Apres nails are not actually made of the soft gel that we know and love in the salon. It is Symantecs. They are 100% plastic just like every other full coverage tip on the market. But they call the plastic “soft gel” because, what really IS “soft gel”? A moldable product that is hardened when cured and can be removed by soaking in acetone. All of those qualities apply to the million other plastic tips out there. This is 100% true and an irrefutable fact, they are not made of the soft gel polish or builder gel that we were led to believe they were made of. The nail company Young Nails had them tested by a chemist and it has been proven that they are plastic. Plastic in its melted form can also be referred to as a “soft gel”. So save your money, they are absolutely exactly the same as the $5 tips you can buy anywhere else, and actually are even more of a hassle because you have to etch the inside so that the builder gel or nail gel can grip to them, unlike the other brands that come already etched on the underside at the cuticle. Apres nails are a scam IMO

    You are super glowing ever since you had your baby. You look so beautiful and I love to see how far you've come and your channel I've been following you since the beginning of your journey and it's just really amazing to see how far you've come and how many accomplishments you have made. You have such a beautiful family and I love all of your videos and your voice is so smooth and soothing and it's like I can only imagine how wonderful of a mother you are and you seem like you have a lot of patience I feel like sometimes I'm constantly screaming at my kids because they just acting up at times lol but I've learned to try to talk in a nice convoys sometimes I don't work though I'm sure a lot of girls can agree anyways love all of your videos

    I did nails in the 80’s and 90’s and early 2000’s. Wish we had all the stuff you do now. You do a great job!

    Soo for the nail enthusiast on a budget 👀 if you buy clear tips(any clear tips my fave is Mekk) you can use base gel for the same effect - I was just testing it one day and it actually worked. I’m def buying this set though I need a small nail lamp and I love beetles 😍😍
