@JourneyswithJai Question, if you can help. I notice my builder gel ( I use Beetles) doesn't cue. Why is that. When I do my nails without it it's less Hassel for everything to cue.

@JourneyswithJai Месяц назад

It’s not curing in your lamp? I’ve never heard of that before I would reach out to the brand to see why that may be. Sorry that’s happening.

@Ms2unique4u 3 месяца назад

As always, I 🫶🏽 your videos!! I also purchased “b072 Pink Champagne” because of watching your videos and it’s one of my favorite Beetles polishes! It’s the perfect cover nude polish for my skin tone, as I’m a bit darker than you. Thanks! 😊 I do have a question…… I usually use primer to etch underneath my Gel X nails instead of using an e-file to etch and to also help with adherence, but you used a dehydrator. Do you like using a dehydrator more….does it work better than a primer? I’m curious! 🤔💭

@JourneyswithJai 3 месяца назад

Hi, if the primer works for you there is no need for the dehydrator during that step I have used a few different methods but I tend to reach for the dehydrator more. ☺️🤍

@Sugarxspicenails 4 месяца назад

I would love to see a full builder gel set! Also, interested to know if you have any techniques for making it easier, like maybe using builder gel with dual forms or plastic tips?

@JourneyswithJai 4 месяца назад

Hi, I prefer tips over forms and this is a great suggestion! 🤍

@palestar828 Месяц назад

What are plastic tips? Sorry new to this. The ones shown in the video, are those plastic tips or gel x?

@JourneyswithJai Месяц назад

@palestar828 hi I’m not sure what plastic tips are. I was referring to regular gel tips I think that is also what they could’ve been referring to. ☺️

@palestar828 Месяц назад

@JourneyswithJai thank you. There really is so much to learn on the different application methods. It's confusing sometimes lol great video by the way! This video has inspired me to get back into doing nails!! I really want to try this technique. Thank you for the helpful tutorial and for clearing that up!

Question: How do you remove the builder gel without over filing?

@nanisantiago2437 4 месяца назад

Hi I love your videos what is ur efile settings when working with your filing ? Also if I make a mistake while designing my nail with polish let’s say a French n I mess up a line what should I use to fix it n restart without messing up my first layer of polish??

@omqariana 3 месяца назад

are you using gel? if so, after curing your first layer of polish, if you start your second layer and mess up you can just remove with nail polish remover.

@zilflores3662 6 дней назад

Hi, I was just wondering how you take care of your cuticles. Do you have another routine for that? I love your videos.

@JourneyswithJai 6 дней назад

Thank you! I honestly just try to keep my hands hydrated especially around the cuticles between sets. I have a video of my full cuticle prep on my channel but I may need to do another one. 🤍

@xxotagxxog6220 4 месяца назад

Hey. So I've been watching your videos over and over since yesterday lol. In this video I belive you use a base coat before adding the gel extend and the nail tip, in another video that doesn't involve the overlay method you use no base coat. What do you recommend if I do the overlay method? Base coat on natural nails or no base coat? Currently loading up my Amazon cart with your recommendations as I'm done paying 95 for acrylic refills

@JourneyswithJai 4 месяца назад

Hi, yes, I typically do not use base coats, but I’m trying to get more into utilizing the base coats that I have as gel typically calls for basecoat, but it is not necessarily needed for the overlay method to last. 🤍

can we use a tick toap coat or the glue to overlay ? i do not have a builder.. but my gel nailspolishes are pretty tick.

@JourneyswithJai 24 дня назад

For the overlay method, you would want to only use builder gel in either the bottle or jar. You could also use poly gel I’ve seen people use that as well.

@leahyvonne1572 3 месяца назад

To apply just the full coverage tips (not painting or nail art etc) should only take a few min. Where do u feel like u r struggling? Like too much adhesive gel/not enough, or getting the tips straight, etc. It does take a lil practice but maybe I can share some tips (even tho u weren't asking me 😬 sorry! I just noticed she wasn't able to get back to u yet!)

@user-kh1gq6kd2v 3 месяца назад

@@leahyvonne1572 Ahh thank you so much. I think my application is the problem. I take too long with nail prep and tip prep. Then sticking the glue to on takes a while. I'll definitely practice more to build my confidence. 💪🏾

Why do you use a builder gel instead of putting the tip to the cuticle? Just learning, thank you! 💜

@palestar828 Месяц назад

I guess it makes it more seamless from what I could gather. I'm just learning this as well. I'm also thinking that it is easier to fill that gap when the nail grows out. It's a great question and the first I had since seeing this method

@Tip_TipJuicyRed 10 часов назад

I have so much trouble with the overlay method. I'm trying to transition from the lazy girl method to gel x and to me its harder. I guess its just going to take practice

@maramosquera6145 17 дней назад

Hello just wondering what is the purpose of leaving the gap and filling it with builder gel? Thanks

@JourneyswithJai 17 дней назад

It’s to create a seamless application from your natural nail bed to the extension. Some people experience issues with lifting at the cuticle when it comes to soft gel extensions, and with the builder gel, it adheres to the natural nail very well and helps with longevity. 🤍

@candisblue7224 4 месяца назад

Hello!! I love your videos!! I have a question, what percent alcohol do you use? I use 91% and it made like white dry spots and lines underneath my nail tip. Any suggestions?

What brand are u using?? Try getting the apres brand. And if you do not have a hema allergy then get the original application gel that apres makes. They make a hema free gel to apply their extensions, but hema is used to get better adhesion to the nail.
