    Can you use the builder gel for a fill? I’m new to this so I’m wondering how to not have to do a brand new set every time

    • @allie.s24
      @allie.s24 4 дня назад +3

      I’m not a pro, just a girl who also does her nails for fun. I’ve done lots of research, here a few things I’ve learned about gel x refills.
      - Yes, it is possible to fill in gel X with builder gel! Some People don’t really recommend that you do refills with gel x just because they typically aren’t as strong as other nail products like acrylic. But it’s all about personal preference. I do refills sometimes and have never had a problem with it.
      - Keep in mind that you should STAY AWAY from water for a good while before doing a refill, if water gets trapped under your nail on accident and you seal it in then you will get “greenies” aka fungus on your natural nail and that is not fun!! 😳
      - Refills should be done within a certain amount of time. Your nails shouldn’t be too grown out. You should refill when they are slightly grown out or 2-3 weeks, no longer than that.
      I tried to keep this short 😭 but I hope I helped a little bit! I learned all of this from lots of RUclips videos and tik toks! Always do research before trying something new. Good luck friend 🫶🏻🫶🏻💅

    • @unsaintedbeauty
      @unsaintedbeauty Месяц назад +3

      Yes but press ons don't usually last very long and are made of plastic. These tips are made of soft gel which is more durable! It's really a neat new technique to do and they last 3 plus weeks when applied correctly with the extend gel underneath to adhere them :)

    I tried using gel glue once for my extensions and I did it wrong. This video pointed out to me what I did wrong immediately even though it probably wasn't your intention 😂 (I did not do an initial layer of gel glue and cure before gluing down the extension)
    I am pretty sure I need a stronger lamp also. What lamp wattage would you recommend for builder gel and would it be the same for polygel?
    Also, this is a gorgeous set 😍

    • @ariiana.nicole
      @ariiana.nicole  Месяц назад

      You’re totally right on the initial gel glue layer and it’s tricky! I personally prefer a 48 watt lamp minimum🥰 the other thing is, some brands of builder and poly gels will have 2 minute curing times. Usually listed on the back out the bottle or on their website.
