Thank you so much!! :) This takes about 20 min (as I have to soak each hand individually)

Shade 156! :)

Hi! I have two full length videos on my channel explaining everthing. I put them all in a playlist 'How to BIAB nails - from start to finish' :)

I flash cure each nail (so put it in the lamp for like 10sec) and then finish of with a full cure when I reach the last finger :)

Yes! But as you can see in the video it's a thicker layer to build some structure :)

Finish filing helps so much! So after top coat file your nails a bit shorter (to the thickness of a creditcard). Really helps! And finding the right nail shape for you, square for example lifts way more frequently than oval on me 😊

Thank you sooo much!!!

❤️🥰

You dry it with a uv lamp and you can file it after but it can cause lifting

@@marit1485 Thank you for your response.. But mine is sticky even after drying, or does it mean it didn't stay long enough..?

I do! Right after top coat application. Just a few strokes with your file till the free edge has the thickness of a creditcard 😊 it does not cause lifting if the adhesion is good, quite the opposite actually it can really help the nails last longer (I can tell from experience btw) 😊

Just top coat! 😊

This one from AliExpress :s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DDpm1el 🥰

It's kinda like a protective layer on top of the nail which really helps them grow as they don't break as easily. BIAB also has a self-pinching effect on the nail, where it creates a nice C-curve. This adds additional strength :)

Probably because it's cold! Put it between your legs to heat it up a bit 😊

Hmmm I can't remember, but I do think so!

I'll try to film it but not sure if getting that on camera will be easy 😅

You can! Just make sure the rubberbase isn't too thick 😊

You can! Just make sure the BIAB isn't too thick then 😊

In essence, it is. But I have seen so many different opinions 😅 in my experience, rubberbase is more flexible and doesn't add that much additional strength compared to BIAB which is a builder gel. 😊

You should put BIAB on each nail separately and flash cure in between. Once all nails are done, you can then fully cure. With BIAB, if you wait to cure until all nails are done, the product will run into your cuticles and side walls. You can flip your hand or finger upside down to help hold the product where you applied it. BIAB works best with gravity, so if you were to keep your hand laid flat or in whatever position you hold your hand while the other nails are being completed, the application will self-level.

Exactly! Once you have a perfect application, you don't wanna lose it, so flash curing followed by a full cure is the way to go 😊

What if i want to use a color? When does that step come in?

This is a builder gel 😊

Hi! Do you mean in a salon?

Typically 4-5 weeks 😊 but depends on how rough you treat your nails 😅

Hi! If you are using BIAB by TheGelBottle it is best to stay within that system (so the recommended base coat and topcoat). :)

Just make sure to fully cure the hand after base coat and top coat, I flash cure in between nails just so the product doesn't move but I always finish of with a full cure :)

@@femdoesnails haha omy I was leaving noted for myself but the teacher saw it. Thank you 🙏☺️

Is slip coat also biab???

I wish there was a simple solution but it's just a lot of practice and patience. It's a nightmare in the beginning but you'll get there over time :)

Hi! Leaking to the sidewalls could be because there is still some residue on your nail plate (so be very thorough during prepping). Applying a slip layer (so a thin layer that you don't cure) can also help because you kinda mark the boundaries of where the biab will flow. Also be mindful of when you are spreading the biab over the nail to not het too close to the sidewall, use a fine liner brush to spread the product there, turn your hand upside down so the product can level and also pull away from the sidewalls. Ans lastly: try to work as fast as possible and flash cure in between nails. Hope this helps!

​@@femdoesnailshow long do you flash cure for?

10..15 sec​@@xxotagxxog6220

Hi! This is likely because the nail isn't prepped enough. Be very careful and thorough while prepping the nail, also make sure that you don't touch the nail again after prepping.

@@femdoesnailscan you explain how to prep the nail?

Hi! I did cure the nails, just didnt film it since my lamp was out of frame and it would make the video a lot longer 😊

Hi! I have an updated version of this video on my channel.

Yes, absolutely! 😊

Try storing it in a colder place! Maybe put it in the fridge for a short amount of time 😊

put it in the fridge to cool down... when it's too hot, it spills and is too runny

Hi! I only use the solution once and then throw it out. I do this routine everytime I do my nails 🤍

Yes, absolutely! Top coat is necessary 😊

You mean that it doesn't cure in the lamp? Maybe your lamp is not strong enough? Even of your lamp is strong enough there will be a stick residue layer, that you can remove or just apply a top coat over 😊 whether or not you need a base coat fully depends on the brand you are using 😊

This is BIAB 19 from TheGelBottle. I don't have one for colour application (great idea for a new video). But I do have some designs in my TH-cam shorts :)

@@femdoesnails perfect, thank you for reply. Keep up the great content 👍

Hi! Eventjes moeten zoeken maar gevonden: amzn.to/48NKaQp :)

Hi! I have one from Sun UV (48W) and works great. I think I paid 40 euros for it :) Just be sure that the lamp is powerful enough!

@@femdoesnails what does it need to be for bgib

@@TJ-vc5ky Really depends on the brand! But for TheGelbottle it is one of 48W and LED lights with wave length 365 + 405nm :)

You don't, but I prefer it when switching between colors since biab is often kinda see through 😊

Thanks for watching! 😊 I clean under the nails but might have missed a spot 😅😊

Not sure! But I don't think so
