Hi guys
Welcome to the Kirsty Meakin SHOW! Today we’re doing 2for1 soak off and builder gel application.
I’m going to start with the mandrel bit and a medium sanding band to abrasive the topcoat to let the acetone soak into the product and lift it off. I’m going to use hairdressing foils and cotton wool soaked with acetone, pop the wool on the nail, wrap it in foil to trap the heat, and stop the acetone from evaporating and leave it for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes I’ll take the soaks off and lightly flake off the gel, I had to pop them back in the foils for another 5 minutes before I could finish off the removal with a 240 grit file.
I’m going to prep my cuticle area with my e-file. I’m going to a thin layer of the fiber gel first and then build it up to strengthen the nail. I’m going to wipe away the sticky layer and file the nails into shape. You can go ahead and add a design onto these or just Top Coat them but I’m leaving that for later.
I hope you enjoyed this video, don’t forget to like and subscribe.

Hi lovelies! Love this video! It’s so refreshing to see you doing some nail pampering for yourself Kirsty especially on shorter natural nails. Thankyou! Please could I ask you what is the difference between fibre gel and other types of builder gels (for example something like Naio’s BIAB - sorry to use that as an example on here but as a beginner it’s my only basis for comparison at present) This sounds like a great product and is a beautiful colour too - definitely something I could do with for my own nails as they have always been rubbish! They’re so thin and weak it’s pathetic! Much love to all and keep up the fab content and great questions (thanks Adam)!

A lot of them you actually can as its usually naio nails products which are available to anyone its only the high end brands such as gelish , nsi etc that are targeted to licensed nail techs and as far as e files any brands fine as they all do the same thing and as far as pure acetone that can be bought by anyone as in some stores you'll fine it down the paint and diy aisle

@meridithderaps3362 3 года назад

@cmclaren7 3 года назад

Just a hint for removal...using a large plastic bag (I prefer zip lock) place a piece of paper toweling that easily fits inside the bag with room to spare. Add enough acetone to cover your nails and a tablespoon of olive oil*. After filing the shine off, place your hand in the bag and place the bag in a bowl of very warm water. Soak for about 5 minutes before you begin to rub your nails on the paper toweling. The warmth and the abrasion will remove the gel or dip powder quickly. *The oil will leave an oily finish on your nails. Don't use it if you intend to use polish on your nails directly after removal.

I've been using the builder in the bottle from Naio, would you say this is a better product or is a different product?

@laurenmurphy1992 3 года назад

What’s the difference between fiber gel and builder gel? I am not a professional and bought Naio products when you were affiliated with them, but I’m allergic to certain products of theirs (the top coats and certain gel polish colors, mostly the blues/greens) so I had to get rid of most of them. I still use their builder in a bottle but would love to switch to nailchemy since that’s what you’re using now! How do the nailchemy and Naio products compare?

@dear_totheheart 2 года назад

Really great tutorial, thank you for showing us how to remove and apply. Question though - is fiber gel the same as poly gel and if different, can they be removed/applied similarly? Every time I've tried removing my poly gel with an efile, soaking, or the hand file nothing happens and its exceptionally long, painful, and an awful experience. I'm hoping fiber gel is different and that it'll be helpful for growing my natural nails under gel

@naomipask1809 3 года назад

Kirsty, what can you use if you have developed a contact dermatitis to acetone? Is there anything? I find a I have to file everything off except my base layer in order to minimise the irritation.

@Oonagh72 3 года назад

Rub some Vaseline into your nails when you take off the foil. It will stop the gel from rehardening so it is easier to remove. The Vaseline also helps stop the acetone d’or drying out the nails.

Not really. It’s more like the file rolls it up into a ball so that it rolls off. I’ve soaked off many different types of products & have never had a file gum up on me.

@misslieselotte7310 3 года назад

Love the result of the new nails. So classy. But one question: Isn't it more healthier for the skin and nail bed to file the products down instead of using acetone to make it melting? I used this technique once and my skin was dry like hell. Needed almost a month to take care of my nails and hands with creme and things like that.

@Augustbeauty69 3 года назад

I think they're still debating that. I don't know, I quit messing around with any kind of nail tips the last time I had to soak off my acrylics, it left my fingers sensitive for weeks. I can't imagine all the poking and prodding and scraping is good for your nails, but they claim the efile is bad for you. Who knows.

@AaronW-ww4ds 2 года назад

It's not healthier also filing completely down to the natural nail isn't recommended due to the fact you can severely damage the natural nail plate what is recommended is to file the bulk of the gel or acrylic then leave a thin layer of the product on then soak that off which means your hands are not in acetone for like half an hour

@AaronW-ww4ds 2 года назад

@@Augustbeauty69 e files are bad for the natural nail especially when they are being used with an extremely coarse grit and by those who haven't the first clue what they're doing with it which is why most nail tech courses do not come with e file training its always taught with hand files and e files are a separate course
