I've been enjoying builder gel for strength and to repair nails if I have a break or chip. I keep my nails short and my nails already have a pretty high apex so I usually just use a single coat without building an apex. Since I want to be able to backfill my builder I use an efile to remove my polish and the builder gel provides extra protection for my natural nails. When the color is gone I stop using the carbide bit and move to a bit for use on natural nails. My manicure typically lasts at least 3 to 4 weeks.
Orlando gril here! Glad to hear you and your family are safe. We are too but it did raise my anxiety too! My heart goes out to those who were not so fortunate
I’m on New Mexico, but my thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Florida. Absolutely love the stickers. Been seriously considering getting some nail polish from modelone, love their dip powder but want to try something a little less time consuming. Love your channel and videos!
Hi Marla 💜🩵. Where’s that pretty engagement ring? First thing I noticed 🤔. Still unable to do nails. I guess this is the time to organize my nail stuff lol😂. Glad to hear that you’re also safe💜🌹
Hi, Marla! We are in Bradenton, right where Milton decided to drop in! We were blessed to have just branches fall off of the trees and lots of debris. Loved this video! I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos.
Hi. I'm in Jacksonville. We experienced more damage from Helene than from Milton. With Helene, I lost power for about 5 hours. But with Milton, nothing. Thankfully. I'm currently wearing a rubber base and a builder gel overlay. 🙂
Hello fellow Floridian, I wanted to ask you what you think is the easiest, user friendly method for starting on my own natural nails. Builder gel, dip powder ? I want to strengthen as well … thanks for help. I love your videos 😊
Hey there! Ya know, I wish I could answer that but everyone is so different. One person may find builder easier than dip and another vice versa. I’d suggest try both and see which you prefer! 🩷
West coast of Florida...lost 4 trees, 1 on top of house, no power for 4 days and no internet for over a week, also LOTS of clean up but e1 is safe so life's good. ❤ the mani
If you want to create more structure/strength to your natural nail by using builder gel, can you use regular polish over the top? Or is it recommended to always use gel?
Cute! My nail are naked! Ive been in bed sick with a nasty cold. Got as far as removing the overlay i had on my nails before and then got hit with whatever ‘this’ is . Ive become press on addicted. i absolutely hate the feel of naked nails now.
How many subscribers did you have to have before brands would send you free stuff? I'm building my channel from zero (to Hero, hopefully!) and wondering when these kinds of things happen.
Hi! Totally feel free to dm me or email me and we can chat about ALL the content creator things! But to answer your question, I was the one who reached out to my first company at around 1,000 subs. But if you’re comfy, just go for it! Can never hurt to ask.
@@MarlaKris thanks for replying! So I've reached out to Deborah Lippmann for polish but no reply. And I commented on a HEMA free video for product because they had no email listed on their channel. Who knows if they'll get back to me. I should just make a list of every company I'd like to work with and start sending emails. I have no problem emailing them with less than 1000 subs. I've been a nail tech for 9 years. I just have doubts that they'd send out free product to someone with a smaller channel.

I am in upstate New York where the leaves are beautiful. Thoughts and prayers to Floridians!!!!!
I appreciate you! Hopefully storm season is over!
I definitely heard that rain 🌧️ ugh i hope you were ok 😊

East cost Fl, St Lucie Co. A lot of Tornadoes touch down here and all over the east coast. Hope you made out ok.
Glad you made it through,, I'm in Missouri and we get tornadoes here periodically they scare me ugh
Ya they’re terrifying!
Love them! ✨
Thanks love! 🩷
I've never tried to apply a sticker without top coating over it. How well do they stay on?
Hi Marla! Please stay safe 🙏🏻
Hopefully hurricane season is over!! 🙏🏻

You can totally use regular polish! Whatever you prefer
Hey Marla! Do you need base before using this kind of builder gel? I've never tried builder gel but would like to 😊
Most need a base coat, but maybe this one doesn't.
@@NailGirlInMontanathat's what I'm wondering. I'm going to look it up on Amazon 🤷🏻♀️
How long can you keep gel polish you have so much?
I have polishes that I still use that are over 5 years old!

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon!!
First!
Edit: We're in The Netherlands, was hoping y'all are doing okay 🤞
All we have had here is freakishly warm weather
Meanwhile.. cold front now in FL!

Please tell me if you and your family are ok after the last hurricane
