Oh my goodness! This was such a long time coming!! We’ll need a removal video.

@yulimarvildosola7209 2 года назад

I have the pink one and it works great for a French manicure!

@ninafrank8108 2 года назад

Hi Amanda! I swear by structure gel! I also have thin nails that it helps to keep strong. I first used it to fill in where a nail had an edge chipped out. But I soon realized it helps healthy nails be strong too. I have it in all 3 colors, clear, nude, pink. I’ve only used clear so far. Enjoy your trip!!

@AmandaBellaa 2 года назад

Ahhh I’m so glad to hear that!! I will definitely be picking up their other colors. Can’t believe it has so many uses - it really is a godsend for those with naturally thing nails 🙋🏻‍♀️🙏🏼🙌🏻

@AmandaBellaa 2 года назад

Thin** nails 💅🏼

Great tutorial❤

@barbigriz Год назад

I just tried dip powder for the first time because like you I struggle with dry, thin nails. The dip powder takes a lot of work and starts to lift after a few days. I’m so glad I found this video because I am definitely going to give this a try! Thank you so much for all of the work you put into your videos! Much appreciated! ♥️

@mellowbarrera4048 Год назад

Did it work better combined with dip?

@vicki3132 2 года назад

I’ve been using it for 3yrs now and have only soaked off once during that time. Never had any lifting at all. Had a lot of trouble with soak off. Made my nails paper thin and had to regrow my length. I keep them long. Love the stuff. Great product.

@cherylloyd4705 6 месяцев назад

Don’t you need to remove the product whey you do it again ?

@LohLeana 2 года назад

Very inspiring thank you. I have had PAPER-THIN nails my entire life from years of using horrible dip and acrylic. Will purchase lamp above asap. Question, have you used or recommend Gelish Recovery/Strengthen polishes? Thanks!

@liyahb5567 Год назад

Soo simple and easy to do! If you can polish your nails then you can do this! Way better than taking beads of gel and doing the floating technique 👍🏾

@AmandaBellaa Год назад

Oh my gosh soo much easier!!! :)

@bridgetsylvesterprice7379 2 года назад

I also wear clear polish sometimes. But buying this is definitely on my bucket list. But I have thick nails that grow really fast.

HIi!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video - thank you so much for watching! :)

@audreyriebschlager9437 2 года назад

i am intrigued by this. i use Gelmoment at this time so just wondering if this would work with that product or would this work with the beetles polish

@momofschnauzers Год назад

Thanks SO much for taking the time to present this video tutorial. Just wondering if you ever use the peel-able gel base and if so, would you apply it the same way and order as the Gelish Foundation Coat? And do you just remove this process using the acetone and wrap method? BTW ... you have beautiful hands and nails.

@oluchiokpara1424 2 года назад

This looks really good,wow I really wish I could get this but it will be almost impossible to get it where I live(Nigeria) and if at all I manage to get it ,it’ll be so expensive.

@emilybertrand9805 2 года назад

Do you use regular polish and let dry or gel polish with the lamp before adding top coat?

@Tattooedwifemom 2 года назад

Can you use regular nail polish on top of the structure gel?

@chelseahughes9622 2 года назад

Does this last with multiple nail polish swatches? Or do you have to do it all over again when you want to change your nail polish color ?

@sydneysmith2458 2 года назад

Would you do a video on how to infill the structure gel? Or do you just remove it completely and reapply a new layer,

@AmandaBellaa 2 года назад

Absolutely!

@KimLarae366 2 года назад

Is structure gel the same as builder gel? I have used builder gel but not structure gel.

@debbiehenderson4821 5 месяцев назад

Great video as always. Can I just do a foundation coat - cure - top coat cure ( remove sticky layer & then do regular nail polish when growing out my nails! Not sure what can be combined but I want to do a French Ombre with regular polish over a gel overlay on my nails Please advise. Thanks Amanda! 💄👄💄👄💄

@AmandaBellaa 5 месяцев назад

Totally! Sometimes I'll just do 2 base coats with regular polish on top! It's nice to have the strength of the gel with the flexibility of the regular polish

@tessl3862 Год назад

When you use a gel top coat is that a cure gel top coat or manicure gel?

@sherribartow7582 Год назад

What about prep? Should you use dehydrator or anything first?

@itsacarolbthing5221 Год назад

Do you prep your nails with dehydrator and printer first??

@mellowbarrera4048 Год назад

Could this be used with dip powder?

@cherylloyd4705 6 месяцев назад

Can you apply any gel base coat with it ? or does it have to be gelish basecoat ?

@mas905 2 года назад

Thanks, Amanda...excellent video! Do you still rough up just around the cuticle, buff the top of the nail very lightly and then use the Gelish ph Bond before the Foundation, like you did in your Gel Overlay video?? Your nails are beautiful!! And I agree with you about polygel...soooo difficult to work with!

@AmandaBellaa 2 года назад

Thanks so much for watching! And yes - I still prep the nails that way! Ugh poly gel is a messssss

@ashleiwarren7698 7 месяцев назад

Do you ever do two layers of structure gel?

@hopingforjustone 2 года назад

Scructure gel did little to strengthen my nails 🥺 I was pretty disappointed 😞 have they reformulated it since it's in a bottle and not a pot? My nails were still very bendy with it on 🥺 hard gel worked better but lifted like crazy....so, I gave up.... I just wear nail polish regularly and that helps keep them stronger 🙂

@basakparlak8550 Год назад

Hi! Is the top coat an obligation? I left only the structured gel 🧐

@user-ze9nt8pf6h Год назад

I am allergic to acrylic nails and gel polish so I went to dip powder. Could I use this product?

@audreyriebschlager9437 2 года назад

so what is the easiest way to remove this polish

@harikrupavedere4838 2 года назад

Could you please also make a video on the removal ?

@AmandaBellaa 2 года назад

Yes!! Pretty much the same as a regular gel manicure.

How do you remove it?

@karennadherny7615 2 года назад

Definitely going to try this! My problem no matter what I do is that they pop off after a few days!

@AmandaBellaa 2 года назад

This stuff is the best!! And that shouldn’t be happening 🤔🤔 Be sure to prep the perimeter of the nail (buff around the cuticles) to help it adhere. Base coat first, then a coat of structure gel! Try to keep the coats really thin 🙏🏼

@karennadherny7615 2 года назад

@@AmandaBellaa Ok. I'll order it today and do those steps. Thank you!

@isabelsanchezbutto4277 2 года назад

@KP-us2id Год назад

Do the gel overlays also prevent the coloured polishes from staining your natural nails?

@Blindfold-Me Год назад

Yes

@Pengle85 10 месяцев назад

Hi! I wanted to know why you cure the foundation for TWO minutes under an LED lamp when it normally only takes 5 seconds. Even a gel top coat only takes 30 seconds. I know that a layer of structure gel or builder gel needs to cure for 60 seconds but I wanted to know about the two minutes for the foundation. Just wondering if needs to be done because of using a structure gel in top of the foundation. Could you explain?

@AmandaBellaa 10 месяцев назад

No - definitely doesn't need to be that long! The shortest setting on the lamp I was using is 2 minutes. I'll sometimes pul them out sooner

@Reda-sl8hx 2 года назад

I have those products but they didn’t work for me they just weren’t hard enough, I prefer the dip in system

@AmandaBellaa 2 года назад

Ah darn! Did you try multiple coats? I found I needed at least 2 coats of the structure gel under my gel polish color- (3/4 if I didn’t plan to paint them a color) to notice it’s strength! At least the dip has given you great results! It’s all about finding what works best for your nails 💅🏼

@angelamiller7443 2 года назад

So is it builder gel in a bottle or different from that? Lots of dip companies have builder gels in all sorts or colors and clear.

@AmandaBellaa 2 года назад

It’s different than a builder gel - doesn’t dry as hard. It’s like a stronger version of regular gel!

@angelamiller7443 2 года назад

@@AmandaBellaa interesting 🤔. I’ll have to try it. Thanks!

@daulanarrasmith9655 2 года назад

@AmandaBellaa 2 года назад

Not a pain at all. Removes just like a regular gel manicure does!

@loricarroll3662 Год назад

Can you use reg polish ontop of the finished overlay.

@AmandaBellaa Год назад

Yes!! Totally :)

Do u have to use the foundation first?

Yes! I do ◡̈

@gabib812 Год назад

@@AmandaBellaa okay thank you, I keep seeing different ways to apply so I’m so confused lol.

@MC-iw6nv Год назад

So to confirm. You can paint your nails (with regular nail polish-lacquer OR gel polish) - AFTER the structure gel overlay OR over the last layer of top coat? Did I hear that correctly?

@grandmaschuman 2 года назад

Do you have to soak it off?

@AmandaBellaa 2 года назад

I did! I buffed off as much as I could & then used my clips. Took a bit longer than normal, but came off fine!

@grandmaschuman 2 года назад

@@AmandaBellaa ...thank you! I find that when I use a soak off method for anything, it ruins my nails...even when following the directions. My nails finally have some length, so I'm not going to risk it again.
