Wow I wore acrylics for almost 40 years. I got first set for my wedding and wore them constantly for years until the pandemic. I wore drug store type glue on nails during shut down and then just got tired and let my natural nails grow. Even after years my natural nails still do not look great. After watching this intelligent well spoken young lady I want to try doing this type of nail product. She gave such great instructions and tips. If my nails can look half as great as hers I will be happy.
I've been watching famous manicurists and nail influencers about how to do this, and none of them were as comprehensive as you. This video was perfect for my style of learning. Thank you 🙏🏻 Edit the color you picked was beautiful 👌🏻💗
Your are absolutely right this video is perfect for my style learning too I'm so glad I found her and now I'm her subscriber ❤ little girl has too much knowledge about 💅🏾 ❤
Omg your timing is just perfect! I just got my stuff for builder gel in and was watching videos and although they do the show the process, your video is the best I've seen by far!! Straight to the point :)) thanks sm!!
you do a great job demonstrating & describing what you are doing & I appreciate that you emphasize it takes practice! You also don’t make it feel overwhelming. Great job!
Your channel must be new, because with all of these helpful tips, you should have waaaay more subs. This is honestly one of the most helpful nail videos I've ever seen! You're a natural teacher!👏👏👏
I just started doing my nails with builder gel and watching sooo many videos. U answered all my questions in this one video. The electric file was a big one. U absolutely do know how to teach! Thank you!
Hi Maddy, Thank you for this tutorial. I have just bought myself BlueSky Builder Gel in Mauve Mist. It's in a bottle and then I realised I have no idea on how to use it. Your tutorial has given great instructions, I would have probably flooded my nail, by using it like Nail Polish, so thank you for that. Love the idea of the 'Upside down' method, great idea. 👍🏻
Amazing! Great video. Just bought some builder gel and came searching to learn how to use it and now I know. LoL l was impressed when you said under 2 hours cuz it takes me at least almost 2 movies to do my nails haha
So glad you like it!! The peeling is probably caused by not prepping the nails good enough before applying the gel and I am planing on making a video about proper nail prep soon. But there’s some other videos on nail prep that you could watch on RUclips.
wow I loved this video 😄 your voice was soothing to listen to and your instructions and demo were so helpful, it was the perfect balance of humor and personality while staying focused and being instructional! thank you!
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing. I first learned about rubber base gel nails at the salon when I tried to do dip powder, and they suggested I try rubber base gel instead. I love them, but it is quite pricy, especially if you get nail art done. I didn't realize that getting the materials yourself could be pretty affordable. I initially thought that you needed special colored gel polishes to use with the builder gel, but you showed me exactly what's needed, so thank you for that!
Glad I found you. I’m changing over to gels and you do such a fantastic job! I look forward to watching all your work. Thank you for explaining everything so well ❤❤❤
Oh wow, that was so interesting. I’m in awe of how easy you made that look. I’m 51 never been to a nail salon and a couple of weeks ago I decided enough was enough and that I need to stop hating my nails and do something about it! So I’m on a journey, hence watching all kinds of nail videos on here. I’m a little disheartened at having one hand (my left) that looks okay ish considering how novice I am at applying anything to my nails and the other looking like I’ve found my mums nail polish aged 3 and given it ago 😂. I’m thinking a trip to a professional might be in order. Enjoyed the video, thanks 🙏
😅😅😅 I can totally relate.. dam I'll do your right hand and you can do mine 😉😂.. but seriously though I wish I could do more with with my left hand.. my poor right hand does all the work then has to look sloppy.. I do ALOT of stamping bc I can't draw either.. another thing that helps me is using liquid latex around the nail ❤
@@debidee5548I've been thinking about that ALOT.. but I don't know where to start with fake nails.. I need something that isn't super expensive but I don't know where to start and my nail beds are children's size 😅.. IDK where to begin.. but that would be so helpful with cat eye gels so I can go in with 2 magnets.. I made a little stand out of Legos to hold one of my magnets and move my fingers side to side since I don't have 3 hands (thank goodness 😅) but it'd be nice to have one 😬.. any suggestions on where to start please
Thanks for the very helpful video! I really appreciate the advice about the slip layer and about how to apply the more structured layer. I can’t wait to use this technique. 😊
thank you SO much, i have never seen anyone explain so well and also has the exact same nail beds and ‘nail quality’ (?) as me and this was so so helpful to me just starting out!!!! i really appreciate it, and your nails are so lovely and gives me hope for my own 🥺✨
Ive been using builder gel lately. If you're going to try this invest in an affordable liner brush. It absolutely helps distribute gel to the side walls and cuticle area while keeping it thin. 🎉❤
Love this! I do use Beetles nail polish but never knew about Building gel until recently and heard it helps strengthen and help grow out the natural nail. I must have been living under a rock, hahaha. Giving this a try - thanks for the informative video!
Wow thank you for that very helpful and informative video. My manicurist was using builder gel and and her results were stunning. I never got anything more tough for my daily routine. However that stunning beauty was too time consuming. (Between 3-4 hours. She’s very meticulous and good for her) I’m not a professional but I had fake nails for years. I decided to try and got everything I needed. Talking about base and top coat. I was thinking we needed base and top coat for both builder gel and gel nail polish. Like could go up to 6 layers in total. Am I overdoing it ?😅
The way my acrylics popped off like butter 😢after 3 weeks hurts my pockets sooo to save my nails I go to RUclips because my nails are my everything and ❤ I came across this and I subscribed I will be buying builder gel
Love your video….thought I could do this Christmas morning before leaving. 😂 The boys were rushing me after 45 min. Guess I didn’t cap the nail and it all stayed in the center. Then I rushed with the top coat and it’s a shiny mess that went all in my cuticles. Guess I’ll try again when no one is home
Your nails are soo beautiful!!! Love the frosty color! Lots of good tips for using gel. I’m thinking about trying to grow my nails out and just using gel to strengthen and beautify them! Great info!!!
I just rewatched your video! 3 months later and my natural nails have grown by following a strict routine of care and keeping polish on them. Now that I have some length on them, I want to do the builder gel to add structure to my natural nail and protection. My question is: can I use regular polish over builder gel? I have lots of pretty nail polish that I’d love to use! Thank you again for your very clear instructions!!
@nancybrown2609 Saw ur comment here and wanted to interjectmy experience.I just started doing peel base(UNT) OVER builder gel(cured and topcoated) and FULLY DRIED PEEL BASE then regular polish and some stamping.Comes off in like 2days!I am searching for a way to make it last a couple more days but as with ALL nail stuff, it's trial and error cuz what works for some may not for others.(body chemistry etc...)I have TONS of regular pretty nail polish-AND GEL POLISH- that I wana use too which is why I started doing this.Helps that I don't have to use acetone AT ALL and can switch up any time!PLUS have that strength and structure which I find makes applications way easier.You may want to get your builder gel or rubber base gel (or both-which I use cuz my natural nails are too bendy n fragile for the harder builder gel directly so I do 2 super thin cured layers of rubber 1st then my biab) applications down first before trying this(I practiced using the peel base-2 semi thick layers capping edge and could pop off immediately without acetone-yay) .Once I had that down I just did the peel base OVER instead of under the gel and am still having fun with all the different polish/nail art options available to me!!As stated in Maddy's video tho- PRACTICE, PRACTICE , PRACTICE!If ya think bout it, nail techs go to school every day for 9 + months to learn the basics and ate still learning years later so it stands to reason that it would take alot of time and practice.They make it look sooo easy on some of the videos I know, but they've been doing it for YEARS!!Remember your nails are for YOU!If YOU love them then THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS!Sorry for rambling but just thought I would interject a bit.GOOD LUCK & I bet they'll be great! 💅🫶💅
I just had a little bit of left over product from my last manicure on my nails. But I always do wipe my nails with some isopropyl alcohol before the base coat so it will dry my nails and remove any access oils that may be on the nail plate.
She just used a metal diamond bit on her cuticles. If it is diamond/fine, you can use it instead of your paper bit. If they used a corse metal bit, I am sure you would be screaming.
Thank you for this! I’m probably going to end up peeling it lol. I cured it in between for 60 seconds but base coat 30 and I did a topcoat for 60 hopefully that’s ok!! 🤞 I’m trying to get my nails long and and sturdy before school starts! ❤
I’m pretty new to the nail polishing world, and so far, your video has been the most helpful. Thanks for posting! Also, do you have a builder gel in a bottle that you recommend? You said you find those easier to use, so I’d like to find a good one to try. Lastly, what do you think about that beetles brand, because while searching for a builder gel, I’ve heard some negative comments about it causing allergic reactions. ☺️
Thank you so much I’m so glad I could help! I use the beetles builder gel and I love it, that’s the kind I used in this video. I believe the reason that beetles could be known for causing allergies is because a lot of people buy it without knowing much about the damage chemicals like gel can do. Allergies are caused by the gel coming in direct contact on the skin and if that happens too often allergies can develop. I always make sure that I never let the gel touch my cuticles or skin for that reason. Normally the professional products are bought by professionals so they know the risk of the products.
@@Maddy-Marie Ah, okay, nobody ever mentioned that information. Thank you so much for spending the time to answer my question. 💜 Also, I’d like to say that you have an excellent talent for nail polishing. I hope your passion takes you so far. But whatever you do, please make sure you enjoy it! ✌🏼
Thank you so much!! 😊 I don’t have a tutorial on that yet but maybe in the future I’ll make a video about how to use the hard gel that comes in the pot.
Question- do you cure the first application of builder gel first before you build the apex? Seems like yes, but just want to make sure! Your video is super helpful, thank you!
No, you don’t cure it. The slip layer that I add is a layer that needs to be wet when you apply the bigger blob of gel for the apex. I hope this helps! 😊💕
You probably just experienced some heat spikes, this can happen more with some gels vs some others. If that happens just take your hand out of the lamp for a few seconds then continue curing. This does happen to me sometimes with the gel top coat but if I have a thick enough base of builder gel I don’t really feel it. I hope this helps!😊
Put your hand in the lamp sloooowly. Start from where the light starts shining on the outside, and move your hand into the lamp very slow. This way, the heat spike may not be as hot. Also, heat spikes can be because you have a thick layer that is curing all at the same time. Try to make thinner layers and cure in between each one until you have the thickness you desire.
I used one from igel beauty but another good one this one from melody Susie www.amazon.com/MelodySusie-Professional-Rechargeable-Portable-Scamander/dp/B07P7Z1JF1?crid=3FJG726W0VECV&keywords=nail+drill+i+gel+beauty&qid=1703181848&sprefix=nail+drill+i+gel+beauty,aps,137&sr=8-3&linkCode=sl1&tag=tiffiymichell-20&linkId=c0497a92dc008e0ec1621743bd908df4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
Wow I wore acrylics for almost 40 years. I got first set for my wedding and wore them constantly for years until the pandemic.

Great video, but 1 thing, do we cure the 'slip layer' the thin coat of builder gel before putting the second layer on and for how long under leds?
No, you don’t want to cure that layer because you’ll want that layer to still be wet before you apply the bigger bead of gel. I hope this helps!
@@Maddy-Marie great thank you. I will try this, my builder gel is super thick though so hopefully it will fully cure.
It should cure all the way through

Thanks so much for this amazing video! Just to clarify, for the builder gel. Are we curing for each nail? Or doing the whole hand then curing ?
Yes, cure one nail at a time.
Awesome job!!!
Thanks!!
Thank you so much🩵🩵 I needed help with a builder gel! Def will try again
Happy to help!
Question- do you cure the first application of builder gel first before you build the apex? Seems like yes, but just want to make sure! Your video is super helpful, thank you!
No, you don’t cure it. The slip layer that I add is a layer that needs to be wet when you apply the bigger blob of gel for the apex. I hope this helps! 😊💕
So glad I found your channel!!
Welcome!!
Fantastic video!
Thank you so much! 😊❤️
This is great! Thank you so much :)
You're very welcome!
thanks for the tutorial! I tried builder gel over the weekend and I noticed that it was burning more when I cured it, does that happen to you also?
You probably just experienced some heat spikes, this can happen more with some gels vs some others. If that happens just take your hand out of the lamp for a few seconds then continue curing. This does happen to me sometimes with the gel top coat but if I have a thick enough base of builder gel I don’t really feel it. I hope this helps!😊
Put your hand in the lamp sloooowly. Start from where the light starts shining on the outside, and move your hand into the lamp very slow. This way, the heat spike may not be as hot.
Also, heat spikes can be because you have a thick layer that is curing all at the same time. Try to make thinner layers and cure in between each one until you have the thickness you desire.
Is the builder gel in this video a specific color? If it is, what color?!?! I love it
Yes, that color name is D056
Great tutorial for sure. I checked out a few others you've posted regarding nails. Keep it up girl!
Thank you so much!!😊
Geat informative video. Thank you! Just curious what drill you use? I purchased one & it isn't very good.
