you are an EXCELLENT Instructor! you're very articulate & thorough, your instructions are well thought out & highly descriptive, and while you are professional you're also pleasant & interesting to listen to.
Now that's a well written compliment!
I am bad at commenting on each video, but have watched the full series about how to DIY and am doing what you've taught. I found if I mirror what you do and do it exactly without adding my spin, IT WORKS. Wow, who'd a thunk! I'm only 74, soon to be 75, and can still learn a trick or 2.
You go girl!
Inspiring! Thank you for sharing!
I really needed this. I have been qualified for less than a year and I was struggling to sculpt because the brands I used and trained with only came in a medium viscosity. I hated how my sets would come out because I simply couldn't work fast enough to avoid it slipping down the side walls. I have since switched brands. I use a thick viscosity builder gel to create the initial extension and it's shaved my time right down. Not to mention no more messy side walls. So for someone to say it's ok to use a thicker gel rather than just pushing medium on me and expecting great results is truly what I needed.

Amen.
Using a thick gel to lay down an extension is brilliant! I’ve been using a medium gel and no matter what I do with my form, it floods my hyponychium. Can’t wait to try this. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I wish I could get some type of certification from watching all of your videos 😁.
I use an under nail drill bit to clean that out :) i tend to have that problem too
Yes! Me too! I have learnt way more from Liz's channel than any courses I've been on so far.
I can't even start to explain how amazing you are!!!!! As a brand new tech it's very scary to try and do this for a career with the limited information we are given. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it is so appreciated 💜
that's exactly what I needed for a really long time, because I didn't know what to do with a thick gel, thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for sharing everything on youre channel! It's a great help for people like me that simply can not go to nail schools.
And even then youre telling everything in so much detail its awesome! Love the "nerdy" in you 😆😘
Laverne and Shirley was the first thought that popped in my head when I saw the L monogram. So glad you mentioned it! 😄👊
Yay!!! Just in time for me to buy a hard gel system and how to use it. Can't wait until next week!!! Loved the erica ata russian manicure bits I just got it from you. Cuticle is much softer and no hangnails. And my clients loved those bits!!! Keep up the good work, Liz!!! Luv ya!!!
I LOVE your "Laverne/Liz" L!!!
I enjoy your videos because you satisfy not only my "how-to" curiosity but my "why" curiosity as well. You are awesome!
Your education series has been terrific, Liz! And I’m getting particularly excited now that we’re getting to the nitty gritty, with extensions and all those good things coming up, hehe!
Love from Australia.

BTW, that blue builder looks great. It’s such a pretty colour!👌🏽
Laverne and Shirley was the bomb!! I love the jacket! 😍 tfs..I’m learning so much from this channel
I agree shes serious and professional love her videos
Very clear and informative. It was great that you showed the varying consistencies. I find mainly builder gels are thinner so they can be used as an overlay and as a builder. I really appreciate this video! Thank you!
Thank you for making these videos, I finally understand what all them GEL are for and how to use them. Love all your videos.
I LOVE your videos, so in depth and informative, I’ve learnt more from watching you than I ever did at nail school!
You explained everything perfectly. Very nice video thanks for the information. I am a beginner with no knowledge in nails other than just going to get them done every so often. I just bought a UV nail kit with tons of colors and I bought builder gel with it and I’ve really been enjoying it. I’ve since purchased a little nail drill from amazon so I can do refills instead of having to rip them off because the gel is so thick that the removal process is horrible and so I’ve gotten so good now that I’ve been creating my own set of nails and then refilling them myself using this building gel. I am really loving it a lot.
Just eating all this up! I recently purchased a gel system so that I’ll have the same brand from prep through topcoat. I’m getting there, thanks to you! Thanks Liz, and I love your jacket! Interestingly, I purchased online last night a personalized work jacket (nurse scrub jacket). You must be in my brain. 😂
I'm a little late to the party but I just found your channel and I really like how much into detail you go. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I found the video on cuticles especially helpful.
thank you so much for these videos! as a new nail tech who got pretty poor education, these help me so much with my work. keep it up!!
Omg the algorithm! I’m currently working on a project to promote my nail business By using a denim jacket and doing what you did! 😮😮. I so appreciate I randomly saw this video!
"L" iz, thank you for touching on the viscosities of gel. I can't wait for you to show us the basics of working with them. Your channel is so extremely helpful, I look forward to your uploads! You have a beautiful smile, you should share it with us more often. 😄
Im got a natural born RBF. Lol. aka Resting Bitch Face. Im just not a smiley face person but I promise ive got a smiley heart
I loved watching Lavern & Shirley I always! I am enjoying watching all your videos, am learning so much from them! You are a great instructor, thank you for these very helpful videos! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Liz, the timing of your videos correlating with what I need to know is almost spooky. LOVE the jacket btw❗
Thanks for this information, i appreciate all of these very much needed informative videos. Especially on gel viscosity. Xx
Thank you for the info on the different gel’s very informative. And love the jacket, lol Lavern and Shirley dang that brings back memories. 🤣
Thank you once again for enlightening us.... 🤗. Again you have showed me that I do not know enough 🙈🌷
I love the jacket - and "L"averne and Shirley :-) I am making my way through your gel tutorials and they are AMAZING! You have a gift for teaching.
Hi Liz thank you. And thanks for continuing to educate us.
YOU ROCK...Thanks for the great info in all your videos...😘
Noticed the Laverne “L” immediately! Loved that show! 😃
I actually got my first builder gel recently and my nails wouldn't look nearly as good if not for your awesomely informative videos!! I saw you mention something coming in regards to brands available to DIYers; I hope it's soon! :)
Thank you so VERY very much for an absolutely fantastic video....
As always a lot to learn and to take in, but you make it easy to understand! Thank you once again!
Kindest regards

I’ve been using a medium gel and I love it. I apply, take a liner to go around the sidewalls and once I’m done with that it has self leveled beautifully! But I love the idea of thick for extensions, I’m gunna have to try that!
this playlist is now my holy grail omg thank you sm
You are loving the denim jacket! Looks GREAT!
Thank you for this! You are an amazing teacher!
Wow I did not know all that information! Thank you so much!💖💅
Love that jacket! Omg I used to love watching that show too!
So much great info! And I love the jacket, I immediately wanted one with an L on it for me.
sooo informative im grateful for the time you took to make these videos, thank you!
Excellent video! Very well explained Bravo!! Big fan of you and your work too!!
Omg 😀 I Loooooved Laverne and Shirley so much ❤❤❤❤ was so excited when you brought up your love of them too 💞 also most importantly this video was so helpful 👏
Your jacket I am dyingggg i LOVE the laverne and Shirley reference!
Same :D Laverne and Shirley was a fun show :)
Very frustrating, as a DIYer, to learn about the various gels but unable to access them without being a professional. Nails is something that I do for myself as i enjoy the peace, quiet and creativity. It would be more exciting to be able to use many of the products that are featured on you tube. Thank you for your videos as they are very informative in explaining a lot of the "whys" in nail applications.
We have lots of products that are available to non-pros as well. We recommend this builder gel www.thenailhub.com/collections/estemio-base-top/products/estemio-zero-heat-gel
Love your videos and the jacket is everything.
Supper cute jacket! Thanks for another great video 😊
Love your jacket; Laverne & Shirley is the first thing I thought of.
Absolutely LOVE allll your videos! xo
So glad I found you. Ty suzieeee
Love your lessons 💜
Love your videos Liz!
Not sure anyone reviews the comments as the video is a couple of years old - but it's excellent. As I DIY person, I love the instruction and valuable information. Would really like some insight on a good medium viscosity builder gel that you don't need a license to purchase. Love the Laverne & Shirley inspired jacket!
This video is so useful!! Thankyou
The jacket looks awesome! Congrats once again!
(I hope my builder gel I ordered recently, won’t be too thick 😅)
This was sooooooooo helpful!! I’m a total gel girl👌🏼❤️
I'm sure this has been asked but could you do a video on hybrid gels? I'm in LOVE with them but would love to see you apply and take us through it.
Another great video Liz. I'm always learning something new from you! Good to know about the thicker gels. I do prefer the LE natural fiber for extensions. What would the equivalent be with Aczentz? Trying to get into that line slowly also. Your jacket is awesome. So nice of you to shout out to the ladies @daily_disco. Going to check them out, great work.
I needed this yesterday but I'm grateful either way
I liked before watch! That much I trust you!😜
Haha now that's trust!
I love all your videos.
Great jacket! So perfect for you!
thank you for this video it was very informative !!!
I never thought about using the thick gel to build the nail and use the thin gel to build!!! I literally cursed the thick gel I used for the first time b/c it wouldn’t self level and it created dips when I would try to smooth it out. I wish I saw this video before hand thanks for sharing.
Lol. Mine was the opposite. I started off with super runny gel trying to create extensions.
Very helpful! Thank you!
Thank you Liz!!
As soon as I saw your jacket The first thing I thought of was Laverne & Shirley!!! I too used to watch it with my mom. What polishes are behind you on your right? The remind me of Christian Louboutin.
Love the jacket!
You’re amazing! I’ve switched from acrylic to gel completely! Super informative. All of the gels mentioned are hard gels though, do you know of any soft (soak off) gels that are very thick as I can’t seem to find any! 💅🏽
Great informative video. Thank you bunches 💗 As soon as I saw that L on your jacked it brought memories, I used to watch Laverne and Shirly then you mentioned it 😀 I wish to buy better products as I'm a DIYer and have no license so I buy the best I can find online but feel I really need better. What would you recommend?
This is such a helpful video :-)
I love your videos, Ive learned so much. I know you already talked about what is a gel and the different types, but I dont think you've talked about polygel or hybrid gel. Can you do a video on those and explain the difference between gel and those products?
THAT JACKET THOUGH!!! It looks amazing, congrats girl! Saw it on your recent post, so glad to see it in action!
This makes sooooo much sense
I can see the mistakes in my distant past 👀😂
I love ur jacket Liz.
Yes!
I have went from thin to thick gel. OMG!
It is totally different, but I am trying to learn the press and push "float" the hard gel vs. painting on the soft gel.
Do you happen to have any videos on this (applying hard vs. soft gel)?
Thank you!
Q: What is everyone's favorite thin/self-leveling gel?
You look like mine sister. Thanks for the thought of her. Bless you ~
“1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!!!” 😂😂😂😂 love the jacket btw!
If you wear colors that only compliment your skin tone, you will be wearing pink and whites forever.
Wear what makes you happy. I love the fake pink, and I have medium toned brown skin. It makes me happy :o
Luv the jacket
Aaaaay! Daily Disco is from St. Louis!!
Your video was very helpful in helping me know the different builder gels and how to use them but is there something I can put on my nails first to help protect them and grow?
(gasp) You don't look old enough to know about Laverne and Shirley. I loved that show. 😀
thank you for this video again.. i learned again about gel extensions..and will be waiting for that video for demonstration...
am seeing hybrid gel extension online..can you do a video about that? like can i mix it to a thinner gel builder just to have a smoother application. thank you thank you...am learning so so much beacuse of you..
Oh what a good idea, I have the Akzentzs pro formance gel and hate it because I cannot get a smooth application, so I went back to Magic gel, but your idea is great (I'm a nail tech) . I never thought of mixing in a lower viscosity, I do mix in gel polish to tint my build gels though !
This was really clear and easy to understand thank you. I was wondering when trying to buy product. How do you tell what consistency it is from the packaging? Is there a weight category?
Grateful to you with all my heart for translation into Arabic 💚🙏👍🏼👑
I don’t know when this video was posted, but I hope you see it. I watched the video and understand what the different gel thickness is for. What I don’t know is how you tell the thickness when you are ordering. Is there a. Viscosity number somewhere on the jar? .
Verry good question.
Many times with certain products like IBD, or other generic brands they will not say. You will have to read reviews.
But with more professional brand they do with certain products. Not always.
Awesome information! Thank you! I am wondering if you warm a thick gel will it it be thinner?
Very informative thanks for sharing 💜💖💜
Yeah I know Laverne n Shirley! Shhh
I just started getting into nails and was wondering if I could use builder gel for the base gel as well? And if base gel was necessary to use
Can you go over what the benefits and differences of an overlay of builder gel vs an overlay of hard gel?
This is great, thanks! I have a question. I thought I saw one of your videos on applying builder gel on short nails, without extensions? Is it even necessary? I'm using it to keep my nails strong until I can order the IBX system. Regular gel polish just isn't strong enough. I have damage from years of bad acrylic applications at a salon. Thank's in advance!
Thank you 😊
Very good information! However, If I were to use a thick gel for the nail extension and a thinner gel for the body of the nail, is it ok to use two different brands? or does it have to be the same brand?
The jacket is soooo dope!
Would you consider making a video on proper shaping methods? Sometimes when working with tips (I only have square but the client wants round), or if I haven’t done such a good job utilizing the nail form lines, my shapes end up wonky. Almond nails are the worst!
You’re so good at what you do. Thanks for sharing and making this resource 100 percent free!
That is coming up once we get through the basics. :)
@@TheNailHub Fantastic because the struggle is real!
Great information! You mentioned that as you get better, a person may prefer thin gel to build the nail extension. For building an extension, do you prefer medium or thin viscosity?
I like thinner but it depends on who im working on. If it's someone I know moves around or if I'm doing a particular service I use thicker gels
What kind of gel should I use on my long natural nails? I definitely need structure and strength to my nails and I also want thickness to create nice apex. Is there some specific gel I should avoid?
For a natural nail thin overlay/hard manicure with no apex etc, would you reach for Akzentz Trinity or LE 1 Step?
Cool video! :)
Hey there. I've started at your oldest videos, working my way forward, so I'm not sure if you've already talked about this but I was wondering how you recommend a person starting out in their nail career affording all of the different types of products from a specific brand?
What gel is best to use on weak, thin nails? And is it only hard gels that offer a thicker consistency? And can you use primer/bonder for soft gels?
