I just wanted to add, because I see you're not using a base coat prior to applying Builder gel and that is a MUST especially because I see you are also not using a primer. A primer definitely helps, but you don't have to use it, however you do have to use base coat. It is what helps the builder gel stick to your nail and not peel off. The primer does the same thing....it's like an additional step to help the Builder Gel not peel. I just wanted to add this because I wanted the new people watching this video to know the importance of using a Base coat when applying Builder Gel.
Hmmm, I have these products and I go in straight with the builder gel too. No base. I have no issues with peeling or lifting 🤷♀️ Currently I have had my builder gel on for 2 weeks without changing anything.
Some of these builder gels have a base already in it too, such as luminary, their whole line can be used as a base first and then build. I believe the brand she is using is the same as it says builder base 🙂
The product she's using is a builder base
@@unsaintedbeauty thank you for confirming that.
great reply that you left. I was thinking the same thing but based on others reply I see that this product AIMELE IS A BUILDER BASE built into the gel like a 2 in 1 product. I always use YN first as my primer just for added protection. its my personal preference.
This was THE BEST ADVICE I've ever gotten!!! Thank you SOOOO much for sharing!!! I have incredibly thin nails & this technique has BY FAR done the best. Lasted the longest & continued to look like the day I did them!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks for sharing, I ordered the builder gel and can't wait to start using.
Great tutorial. I’ve been looking for one that shows gel and dip. Thank you for making it easy to follow!
Thank you I can’t wait to try this.
Omgoodness
I'm so glad I found your channel, you have given me tips and have answered many of the questions I have had for each onevof the products you used in this video. I'm new at doing my own nails and scrolling through a zillion videos yours diffently has been the most helpful without all the extra jibber jabber. You did your nails ( which by the way tuned out beautiful ) in a timely manner which is why we watch these tutorials. To learn how to do something.
Thank you again, I'll be checking out all of your nail videos.
This is a great video. I also use this duo and its the best. No allergies after long use either. I also subscribed, love your personality and voice. Have a great weekend 😀
Perfect video! Thank you!!
Thank you for this video, definitely very helpful 🥰 Tyfs x
Simple, and elegant!
Thank you! ♥
Worked like a charm!!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
You're so welcome! Thanks for the comment 🤗
Hi I use this gel too and love it , never thought to do it with dip so thanks for sharing will definitely be trying this . Your nails look so pretty x
Thank you! I have a few fun tutorials with builder gel. I've been obsessed since I tried it. I even used it with nail strips and it came out amazing!
Thank you, can't wait to try this method. Can you do a video on building an extension
Thank you! I've been looking into builder gel as a base for dip powder. I just used your link to order this set! So excited to try!
Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions. I'm always here to help! ♥
@@AmberRileysLife your nails look so healthy, do you do any filing to them( roughing up)
@@aimeekrieg9932 No filing other than to shape. I used to overfile when I used dip powder and I switched to gel and let them heal. Now they are so healthy that I can just peel the gel right off of them. Probably not the best method but I hate soaking off and peel base doesn't last more than a day on me.
Good stuff Amber!! I’m going to try the builder gel, then gel top method! Thank you!
Thanks Amy! Wait till you see the next video where I use it with decals... I'm so impressed!!
@@AmberRileysLife Ooohh... love me some decals! 😀
I love the Aimeili as well. Very pretty 😍 💕
Thanks Suzanne!
I love the Aimelie products. This duo is my favorite...hands down!
Yaaassss 🙌 🙌
These are so pretty!! I love it 😘 your shape is on point. Shape goals 🙌 I have had that happen to base before too.
Thanks lady ♥ ♥
You read my mind because I wanted to try this!
Try it! Let me know what you think.
This was so much better than my regular dip process
Yes! Thank you.
I use this very same builder gel as my glue for tips. Works great, holds good and protects your natural nail.
Ooh great tip! Thanks for sharing!
@@AmberRileysLife did it work for you as glue for tips? Do you possibly have a video on how to. Thanks 🙏
Just found you! You explain things so well so new Sub here. Thanks for all the info. Looking forward to catching up on your videos. x
Wow, thanks so much! Glad to have you here. ❤️❤️
I loved this video. I do the opposite with the color builder gels. I wear it over clear dip powder.
Great idea! I may have to try that. Thanks so much for watching! ♥
I have this brand and I find it is quite thick. Not in love with it although it works well overall. I like to do regular polish over it because I like changing out the mani often
"Forever ago" Mahahah! Good one, I'll use that.
This is an awesome vid....newbie from South Africa
Welcome! ♥
I just wanted to let you know that it is very important that you apply a base coat prior to applying the builder gel. It's not used in this video and it is what absolutely helps the builder gel not peel off your nails. I just wanted to let you know...Hope this helps!
Love you video,
Thank you!
I use aimeili builder base over tips 2-3 coats of it works great my nails last 3-4 wks
It's my favorite! I just tried out the madam glam builder gel so I have a first impressions video plus a giveaway coming up next!!
Do you have a video of the removal process? I'm looking to do this process/technique so that I can file down to the builder gel, fill, and then re-dip a new color (trying to cut down on acetone exposure).
Great video! I have been using dip powders and my nails have become very brittle!
I have bought a lot of dip powders and I want to use them and not waste money.
Does this builder gel help to protect and build up the nails?
How do you take off the dip if you don't use the peel off?
Do you not use a clear dip over the color dip before buffing? Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I am just learning how to do dip powder at home. Unfortunately, my nails have gotten slightly damaged using acetone. Right now I am giving them a breather. I do want to try your method-I think it will help my nails grow and protect them. I do have thin nails. I just wanted to ask you how you remove the builder gel base when your nails grow out. Do you soak it off or fill them? Thank you again. I plan on watching more of your videos. You are very good at demonstrating and explaining everything. 😃
.
I never knew this was possible! I have always wanted to do my own dip but thought it was too much work. I do my own gel so this trick is amazing! THANK YOU!!!!
You are so welcome! You will have to checkout my next video where I encapsulate decals in builder gel.
@@AmberRileysLife I can't wait. I just subscribed to your channel and will be binge watching!
Thank you so much for your support. So happy to having you here!
I agree on the binge watching on her videos.
I just wish my natural nails looks like yours. I have the weakest most ridged nails. If they do grow they rip they crack, and I get lines that go up the side of my nail and then they literally split. They are horrible. I have tried everything under the sun since I was a young woman of your age trying every product and vitamins and nothing works. Yet my toe nails a normal and much thicker then my finger nails. In order to put dip powder over my nails I have to add full cover tips. I don’t even like long nails but I would just love a nice short length . My nails look like I bite them and I have NEVER bit my nails in my life. I am very envious your nails are beautiful!!
Thanks 🙏🏽 I hav it but I didn’t know how to use it 😬
You're welcome! I've been obsessed ever since I started using it so I have a few different builder gel tutorials on my channel. Thanks for watching!
Paper towels are a bit better at taking of the sticky layer, I cut them up into smaller pieces - just to keep your nails free from lint & dust as much as possible during gel application 💓
hi amber if the builder gel cured uneven i would would have to BUFF THE NAIL SURFACE BEFORE APPLYING PEEL BASE corrrect? also... is it okay to slightly buff the shiney cured nail surface before doing a dip powder method with no peel off base.
Hi, do you have any suggestions on why my dip is not sticking to the builder gel? I use the same products as you did. Also they crack very easy. Thank you!!
Great tutorial just what I wanted. My question is could you put a tutorial on how to do infill using this method with the builder gel under the dip. I've just got 2 builder gel and coats of dip and no idea how to do an infill. TIA
This is a great video about dip and builder gel thank you!! Do you also need to do a primer prior to dipping and after builder gel?
I don't use one but you certainly can!
Jessica I know this is awhile after you asked this question, so I'm not sure if you will see this, but I just wanted to let you know that you never use a primer when dipping...you only use a primer with gel products. If you are using gel, even if you are just using a gel polish, for added adherence it is a good idea to use a primer.....however you never use a primer when your dipping. The most important part of getting your dip to last is your prep. If you have a good prep routine then your dip will last. If you do a search on how to prep when dipping, you will find hundreds of how to videos. Hope this helps and hope you see this.
I see Kim K. wear that color a lot with the same length nails, so you’re in good company! 😀
I never use peel base so I'd like to see more videos where you don't use it. On a clean nail, after prep, I'm going to try applying one thin coat of base coat (that comes with dip kits), then do builder with the powder. I did a fill with gel top coat (it was all I had) and powder and was amazed at how professional the fill looked.
Thank you. I rarely use peel base anymore so most of my newer videos are peel base free ❤️
@@AmberRileysLife Here's something I tried After the builder gel for strength (like you did in this video), I applied just one coat of gel nail polish and poured clear dip powder over it. Then a coat of gel top coat and a clear dip powder pour. Then one coat of topcoat. It saves the entire 2 or 3 coats of polish and curing at the end. I don't make videos, but I'd like you to try it and maybe make a video, Thanks Donna Sophia
Is the lamp that you have a good lamp? Or are there any that you would recommend please!
I love that dip color. Where can we buy?
Hi when you put the builder gel on did you go under the gel machine for 30 seconds?
If I did builder gel top coated and cured, can I do dip or get polish over top if I want something different? Or do I need to buff off top coat?
Since you use peel base, my understanding is that you don’t have to redo the gel again to change your mani. Is this correct?
if i use peel base do i buff my builder gel after its cured?
Hi Amber. I’m wanting to use full cover nails and am wondering where in the process you add the tips. Thank you again ❤️
Add the tips first. Since I use the products on my natural nails, the tips will act as your nail. You can even secure them with the builder gel VS glue for easy removal.
Whats the shade of the dip powder you use? Can you post link?
If you don’t use peel base do you have to rough up the builder gel before Applying dip base
Newbie! I know this tutorial is old. Hoping you check for questions. when you pop off your dip powder. Your builder gel is still good to go for additional applications? How long do they stay on with the peel base normally? Thanks! Love you videos!
Yes! If you wipe the tacky layer from the builder gel so it's smooth then apply a layer of peel base over your builder gel then dip over the just dried peel base then you should be able to reuse your builder gel for a second dip application. Depending on how well I seal the dip over the peel base, I usually get about a week of wear.
thank you for video with builder gel, could you just use gel top coat after filing and buffing or do you need the builder gel layer first?
If you don't use a gel base of some sort for the top coat to stick to it may just peel and chip right off the dip powder. You can use either builder gel or regular gel base on top of your filed dip powder to seal it or use your regular dip top coat! Hope this helps.
It's hard to tell from the video, but it does appear to be rippled, or wavy. Is it smooth and just the way the light hits it? Or wavy?
Great video. I do have a question? Can you use this on GelX nails from Beetle’s? The problem I’m having with them is the tips are so weak very bendable and weak? I’m looking for something that will harden them and came across your video.
I actually have never used gelx nails but you can use this over tips, extensions, natural nails and even build extensions with the builder gel so it should work fine! Let me know if you do use it how it turns out.
Ive been wondering about builder gel but if i wanted my mani to last 2 weeks because im a nurse and need them to last longer, how would I go about taking off my mani? Also can I do a refill with builder gel? Thank you 😊
Yes I think it would last you two weeks easily. The builder gel is a soak off product just like dip powder or gel. It's just thick so it will take a little longer. I would just file down and fill it each time!
Great video - thank you! I’ve been wanting to use my builder gel and have been a little apprehensive. I’m super sensitive to acetone, so I’m looking for a mani that I can reduce my soak off time significantly. I’m thinking using a builder gel and fill with peel base would suit me, but I’m not sure how to remove. Sooo Question: How do you “pop off” the UNT peel base when you’re ready to change color?
Unt peel base is almost too good. If any lifting happens at all its going to come right off. It basically creates a layer between your nail and the builder get and when you get a tool in there to create a little lift it will just come right off. I actually have a video on peel base on my channel if you want to see how I applied and removed.
STEP 1: Keep Gel products AWAY from light 🚨🚨 It will cook your products. FYI 🚨🚨 DO NOT file off the inhibition layer (sticky layer) you will ruin your manicure 💅 always use lint free wipe with alcohol to take off.
Yes I struggle with that. I get in the zone and don't pay attention to where I set things down. Good tip! ♥
@@AmberRileysLife
Don’t mean to be critical awesome nails 💖
@@LvnTheDrm23 no problem, I didn't take it as critical. We learn by sharing!
Do you cure it at all?
I want to use builder gel with my dip powder so do I have to use peel base if I want manicure to last two weeks? Or just stripe down the middle? Also does this soak off when I soak off my dip powder?
If you want it to last 2 weeks and are soaking off don't use peel base. It will soak off with your dip, yes.
Should you not use a gel top coat prior to the peel base/ dip ? Or just wipe with alcohol
You can either top it and cure it or you can just wipe with alcohol. The shiney, slick top coat might make your peel base work even better so you may not get as much wear out of it that way. I'll have to try both methods out and report back after testing.
I’m seriously interested in this builder gel, I’ve used gel polish many times but they always end up chipping and peeling. Does this brush on builder gel have more longevity do you think?
Yes! It hardens much more than regular gel and it bonds the gel polish to the builder gel so it lasts so much longer for me! It's definitely worth a try for the price point. This is my most repurchased product hands down.
@@AmberRileysLife excellent! Thank you so much. Glad to have found your channel 😁
When you remove the dip does the builder gel remain?
No. They come off together. Unless you use peel base in between.
If I'm not using peel base then do I remove the tacky layer from the builder gel before applying the dip powder??
???
No you don't need to remove the tacky layer.
I’m sorry if I missed it but will this make your nails hard? My nails are always breaking even with gel polish and dip powder.
It is really comparable to clear dip powder. Once you cure it, it does harden. You can use it to build extensions. I use it to fix broken nails and I've made extensions out of it and it works great!
@@AmberRileysLife great I will have to try it! Thank you!
I hope I don’t sound too stupid but what is a “sub bag“ You’ve mentioned it a few times in your video?
No stupid questions... A sub bag is a subscription bag. I subscribe to sparkle and Co and for $30 a month I get a little mystery surprise bag of nail goodies in the mail each month. There are different levels and types. It's a fun little monthly surprise if it's in your budget.
If you don’t use peel off base over the builder gel under dip powders. Does the builder gel come off when you take off the dip powder?
Yes it does.
@@AmberRileysLife thank you for your quick reply.
@@AmberRileysLife do you still think it is worth it to use the builder gel under dip powder to protect my natural nails since I don’t use nail extensions? I change my dip powder one time a week?
@@taloveme yes absolutely! I have dip powder over builder gel on my nails right now!
@@AmberRileysLife Great!!!! Again thank you so much for your timely response to my crazy questions. You have a subbie for life😍
Can I use gel polish instead of dip? Would it work?
Yes I have plenty of tutorials on my channel using gel polish over builder gel. Check out my most recent video. There's also a giveaway going on!!
Do you fill your builder gel or completely remove it every couple weeks?
Also, do you have an instagram?
Loving this video, nails turned out so pretty. Would you mind sharing what the color of the dip powder is plz?. I see the number 142 on the sample stick they sent you but when I check for that number on the website, it doesn't match up with the color you have. I love the color...looks like the perfect nude
Yes, it's a sub bag color so it's not available for purchase on the site but I can suggest 'woke up like this' from sparkle and Co and it's a very similar nude color. Thanks so much for watching ♥
Do I need to prime before the dip?
Yes. However you normally prepare for dip.
I just wanted to let you know that you never use a primer with dipping products because it will mess with your dip. The only time you use a primer is if you're using gel products. In order to make your dip mani last, you need to prep really good. If you don't know what prep is just do a search on RUclips.... "How to prep before using Dip powder". You will see hundreds of videos showing you how. One person that I can recommend that you watch would be Kates Nail korner....she gives accurate info and is very knowledgeable. Hope this helps!!
So no clear dip powder??
Why don’t you use their base coat?
Good video & tips with one exception…Lamp wattage matters to properly cure gel. “Any lamp will work” is not correct.
The final look came out so cute.
Can you use acetone to get the stickiness of the builder gel off or does it have to be alcohol ?
Acetone is used to remove it so I think it would eat right through the builder gel so I would stick with the alcohol.
What do you mean Sidify?
Solidify. It's your step three in the dip process. Solidify is what activates your dip powder and hardens it.
@@AmberRileysLifeso I could just use base coat? Ty I’m just newbie beginner, have always love doin my own fake nails, cuz I have very soft, short Brutal brittle nails, never had long nails.
The dip powder process requires the base step (the glue) the solidify step (the hardener) and the top coat (the seal). You could also do the gel method where you use gel base coat to pickup the dip powder and then cure it with a lamp. I myself have never experimented with the gel method with dip powder. However you can watch my nails Playlist for more dip powder tutorials! Lots of good info for beginners.
Aren’t you meant to wipe the Activator ‘before’ putting the brush back in the bottle for the next nail application, so you don’t accidentally put any loose dip powder (off your nails) in the activator bottle, as it will harden in the bottle.?
I was halfway through the video, doing my nails, got to the powder base, and mine is all dried up. 😢. Plan B I guess 😅
Nah. 😂 cuticle says it all. 😅 powder sticks to cuticle because that cuticle is wild 😅
