I can't believe this is free.
This is like one of this master class, curiosity stream type shit.
Thank you, girl.
So sweet of you to comment this! Glad it helped!
She knows her stuff! Pretty nails PP
You look so great with the fedora ❤️. Thank you for making these tutorial videos. I watched them over and over again.
I own a few hard gel products, but i haven't used them yet. Soft gel has served me well enough. 😊
Truly a informative video. Thank You for doing this one. I'm kinda a beginner on nails other than my natural or press on nails. I want to try gel at home.
Very nice instructions and well explained! Thank you and God bless!!
Thanks for taking the time to watch!
I like both , amazing
Hi Paola! I prefer hard gel 💅.thank you for your videos ❤🙏🥰
Oh I’m so happy I found your channel! Nail heaven
I'm so glad!
wow! great review and informative video especially for beginners like me.
Great! Do check out my free class paolaponcenails.com/Masterclass
You are amazing girl ♥️♥️
Excellent video! This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I just subscribed! Great information and well explained. I asked someone about this before and they said soft gel is gel polish and hard gel is the gel product we make the extensions with and I was like uhh I don’t think so lol
Thank you ❤
Love it!
Thanks for watching!
I’m so life changed by your videos!!
Hi. Thanks for the vid
Great video
Can you use hard gel over soft gel extensions? Like for a finishing coat
Is Ibd a soft or hard gel? And is it a good gel to use for natural nails?
I wear extensions to prevent me from biting my nails.
I always got acrylic because I hated the way they tasted. I need to figure out know to get acrylic thickness with gel.
If I have clients with nails that are really hard and don’t bend. Should I do a structured manicure with hard gel?
Meaty video indeed! Well done! 🙌🏻
Thanks flako!
What about cuccio is that a soft or a hard gel how do u know the difference between the two when buying them somewhere because when I go to beauty stores near me they don't know what there selling they just expect u to know
I’m interested in learning how to do soft gels since hard gels don’t soak off. Or maybe do both with hard gel on top? I see you mentioned Japanese gels.. could you explain a little more on that and where I can buy? Thank you!
Paola Ponce Nails thank you!
Glad you were on my recommendation! I work with hard gels.. light elegance & young nails synergy gel but this video was very interesting. Gonna watch your other videos, subscribe, & follow on ig lol
Thanks SO much!
Nails & Bows by Jvp609 I want a soak off builder gel. Which one?
Where is the best place for us to purchase Japanese soft gels or hard gels in the uk ?
Which one last longer?
I use IBD hard gel and we never apply base coats, only primer and it doesn’t lift.
Can you use any colored gel polish like shellac, opi gel color or gelish on top of JG systems? and if so is the outcome any different...and if I where to use JG...what system would it be replacing?...Brisa gel (requires rebalancing) or a Shellac Manicure (which soaks off) and by the way what is the soak off time?...If I have Brisa clients that like two week appts. solely because they don't like to see grow out...what would be recommended for them knowing that this JG lasts 3-4 weeks.? Thanks.... peace
It is in between. Thicker than gel polish, thinner then hard gel. I teach all of this in my MGN mastergelnails.com/yes Jap gel is for rebalancing. And if you know how to safely remove with an efile it is excellent for protecting natural nails from acetone soak-offs. All this is very detailed in the course.
Question what does pinching the nail do? Also what is your overall favorite efile?
Pinching makes the enhancement slender and gives it strength also.
So where does polygel sit?
Hi, can I use soak off color gel on hard gel base and builder gel without it cracking?
Yes
Hi Paola I work with Light Elegance. Would that be soft gel or hard gel?
Hard.
Check out the 8:20 min mark, I bring it up briefly there.
Muchisimas Gracias!!! 😊excelente viedo!! .Pregunta! Tienes canal en español?.. ☺Bendiciones!!
Espero tener uno pronto.
Donde consigo soft gel?
Hi please could you tell me . I do not want extension. Which gel i should use to make my own nails to make harder.
Kokoist Mega Stick Base paolaponcenails.com/kokoist
My nail tech uses Liquid Gel on me she said it's not like gel polish or a ibd gel have you heard of any gel like that. I was told the nail dont break at all and I can vouch for that it dont break one bit. I wanted to start doing my own natural nails and I just bought some ibd gel should I use that I'm new to this
I bought the gelish soft gel nails would a builder gel be better to stay better ? Thanks
It depends on the length. If you you have short-medium length nails, the soft gel is all you need. If you stay within Gelish systems, their hard gel will be just fine over their base, if you want need more strength.
@@PaolaPonceNails thank I went with the gelish system since I like my nails long coffin ⚰️
Hey...what do you suggest for someone who is trying to grow out their natural nails? Mine keep breaking off😕 is soft gel the best option? Especially because I'm not into long nails.
That’s my vote!
Try Nail Thoughts Tinted Base by Kokoist. They are a 3 in 1 product (base,builder, color) and super beginner friendly 💕 (my code for 10%off is PPN10)
Paola do you use luminary?? I find that very interesting. Do you find that it falls into the quality of your normal vetro leaf or kokoist? I actually find those products very different from studying sds sheets. Let me know if you can why you like/use luminary!
I am very sensitive to Luminary, itchiness, rash-like symptoms.
@@PaolaPonceNails okay yes first ingrediant in luminary is ethyl acetate i believe so i really don't find them at the quality of koko or leaf at all. Okay thank you for explaining i am similiar i get red dots if i get it on my skin. Thanks for the awesome video
I have a problem with the concentration of that ingredient in their product. Big no no for me.
Are japanese gels the same as Korean gels
You mean are they soft gel/soak-off?
I have a few diff gel systems i have young nails synergy gel (hard gel) bio sculpture, light elegance and some japanese soft gels. I would love to learn more about leaf gel, and also there is a new japanese brand that jist came to the us ricca gel have you gotten to use that yet? i would love to hear your views on that. Also do you ever use an efile while working with your soft gels? And do you soak off each visit or just do a fill each time or when would you suggest soak off and do a new set? Sorry for all the questions
Thanks Gabrielle for the feedback! Look forward to breaking down some of these topics down for you in video form in the upcoming weeks.
Ayeeeeeee she has my name but Martin is my married name Brown my maiden name ayeeeee🥰🤪🤩😜
Hi Paola! So I'm doing nails at home, just on myself, and I know I've had sensitivity to polygels. As someone who also has acrylate sensitivity, what do you think about IBD hard gel?
I'm alleric to acrylates too. IBD has acrylate, so do dipping products. If they don't have the ingredients listed online I email, or contact the manufacturer for the ingredients.
@@mariagargus7726 is acrylate an ingredient that causes the sensitivity?
@@ilovegot7754 Yes, that's mostly the main issue. I went to a dermatologist that confirmed it for me. The more I was exposed to acrylate, the worse my reaction was. My nails lifted and almost fell off. I had to look for another line of work.
I have a problem with soft gel bacause no matter what i do it peels of in a day or two and it's probably because of my brittle nails. but i still wanna use gel polish cause i wanna protect my nails from breaking. what would you recommend? maybe i start experimenting with hard polish nails?
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE OF PRICE BETWEEN SCULPTURED HARD GEL AND SCULPTURED SOFT GEL?
Yes. Japanese soft builder gel is typically more... but you need less to sculpt with.
Hey. If im using a builder gel( guessing its soft - venalisa builder gel to be specific) . How can i sculpt it? Will dual forms be better since im a newbie to DIY nails. Thanks
Dual forms are best used w/ firmer products like polygel or a firm hard gel.
I’ve done it with soft builder gel and have not gotten good results.
For the gel x dupe what do you recommend hard gel or soft gel
Soft gel to adhere.
I recommend a good quality one like Kokoist Mega Stick Base. You can buy at at Paolaponcenails.com/Kokoist
😅 I haven't tried hard gel yet. But soft gel doesn't stay on my nails. It peels off the very next day 😩😔 I think my nails are too weak and flexible. I love doing my own nails but it's getting irritating because it doesn't stay for a long time 😢
Have you used Japanese Gels?
@@PaolaPonceNails no not yet. I think I want to try that leafgel you talked about. It's kinda my last hope 😅
Clear gel has great self leveling properties. This can help you for when you apply it, you can apply a little bit thicker providing for better and longer wearability.
@@PaolaPonceNails ok will try that product. I'm gonna order some products now (hopefully they ship to Austria 😅)
Is Japanese gel Dura Gel
isn't soft gel semipermanent nail polish?
So how do you remove hard gel?
Drill
Is builder gel the same as soft gel? People thought me that that it’s te samen as hard gel. I’m confused right now
It sounds like builder gel is hard gel.
Where may I find the products/supplies I need to do soft gel nails? It's literally impossible to find !! HELP!
Have you tried Japanese Gel. Like Kokoist and Leafgel?
Paola Ponce Nails nope! I will now!! Thank you so much Paola for responding ❤️

Paola Ponce Nails will do !! Thank you so so much again 🙏🏼
Do you prefer soft gel or hard hard
I am allergic to HEMA what is the best gel to use I am looking at light elegance at the moment.
Yes they are hema-free. Also Presto & Ageha & Bio Sculpture!
@@PaolaPonceNailsThank you so much for your quick reply, I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Can you tell me more about Bio Sculpture or do you have a good video on bio Sculpture please. What do you recommend that is HEMA free?? Regards from Perth Western Australia
I don’t really like acrylic anymore because of the smell and it’s hard on my hands when I file, but my fear is not getting clients since acrylic is cheaper
So. I used hard gel as an overlay and got lifting at the cuticles. I had no idea it couldn’t be soaked off. I couldn’t do a fill, and didn’t want to with that brand because it was very brittle. My question is, if someone gets hard gel and then wants the product removed, how would we go about it? Can only file down so far. What ended up happening was I filed down as thin as I could and as I tried to grow it out, eventually the thin pieces of hard gel were peeling off with layers of my nail along with it. :(. So unless someone is always going to have enhancements, hard gel is a no for me
Hey there!
I haven’t worked with hard gel on clients for a while.
However, I’ve been told you can put soft gel as your base gel before building with hard gel to make it “soak off”. However one of my subscribers has said that she still had a hard time removing, so maybe some trial and error. I personally would not because soft gel nail systems like Japanese gels already offer their builder gel to be “soak-off”. So I’m set.
I just need prom nails that I can wear to school for a bit after but I don't want them too long or in a weird shape (more natural looking) and I can't decide between plain black or baby boomer/French tip but idk what to ask for when I go to the salon because they offer acrylic, soft and hard gel but I don't understand any of this other than the price. Any recommendations?
So how would you take off hard gel?🤓🧐
Efile
5:5 u r most welcome
So hard gel and soft gel, only different gel?
To classify them yes. Soak off or Non Soak Off
@@PaolaPonceNails thank u for explanation🙏
Her eyes remind me of gyllenhaal in that movie. Blink lady! Really helpful stuff though 🤍🤍
Where can you buy quality hard gels for non-professionals? I feel like you need a license to buy all the good quality stuff! 😑😭
How about Young Nails or Akzentz?
Hard gel has to be used properly for it not to look bulky…
