In my opinion the gel tips help keep my nails strong in between manicures! I use peel base so I can easily pop off my manis at about a week and the tips are still there and protect my natural nails until I do my next mani. if you don't use peel base, then its a little different. You can either file off the dip down to the gel tip or you can soak off, but the soaking will take a while.
I use gelly tips like this and no peel base; I don’t add gel base and gel top coat over the tips-after I’m done putting the tips on, I buff them to get them a little rough, then wipe with alcohol to remove dust, then go straight into dipping!
my understanding is “gelly glue” is just a thick gel kinda like builder gel and when you cure it, it hardens the nail to your nail. so its just gel really, not glue
Hi Taylor. Love your video. One question. Do you use builder gel and what step do you add it. ❤️
Thank you! I do not use Builder Gel at the same time I'm using gel tips. I would use one or the other, just depends on the mood I am in :)
Is there a benefit to using gel tips before dipping? Is the removal process the same as just dipping?

How different is the process if you’re not using the peel base?

@@juliawarton Appreciate your reply, thank you!
Is the gelly glue similar to regular glue? I find that I have an allergic reaction to regular glue.
