      Is there anything like this that isn’t gel?

  • @Ms2unique4u
    @Ms2unique4u ปีที่แล้ว +5602

    FYI….. the 1st layer you applied without curing is called a “slip layer”. The purpose is….gel attracts gel like a magnet. If you apply the slip layer without getting any on your cuticles or sidewalls, when you apply the 2nd larger dollop, it should stay primarily where the slip layer of gel was applied, ie….not getting on your sidewalls or cuticles.
    I hope that makes sense! 😉

    I do rubber base with long nails and just do 2 thin layers and cure them each completely. Then color and top coat over it. It definitely makes my nails thicker and stronger. I remove the gel polish with an e file and then soak off the rubber base. It takes a while, at least 20 minutes, and I use a heating pad to warm my hands while they are in foils. I rub aquaphor ointment on the skin around my nails beforehand to protect them from acetone. The rubber base also allows me to use the efile to remove color without worrying too much about hitting my natural nail. I like to be able to see my natural nails between manicures without getting an e file too close to them, and this allows that.

Then apply tin foil around it and use a nail clip to make sure it doesn't fall off. You need to wait around 15-20 minutes before you take the foils and wipes off, and then take off whatever is left on your nails with a high grit file or e-file.

    Because gel is thick it's need a lot of time to soak off, and that time of contact with acetone is harmful for skin and nails
    Nail masters usually use special nail drill for removing gel. But you can just buy a hard enough nail file(100-180 grid) and file a top part
    Also, when you wanna do gel nails again, you don't need to remove ALL old gel. Removing the top part and the lifts are enough. Just leave a thin layer of base and apply a new one on top of it.

    • @call_me_kara
      @call_me_kara ปีที่แล้ว +20

      @LoveU
      Why not removing old gel can be harmful? I am a manicurist. Gel, after curing in the uv lamp, is just a plastic. It's absolutely safe if it's cured. Gel base contains acids, and while it's not cured, acids lift the scales of the nail and adhere to it. Acetone isn't made for human skin and nails. It dries out the skin and nails, which makes them brittle and thin. And even if it's liquid "without acetone," it's still harmful. There are just other chemicals close to acetone.
      Acids in gel lift the scales of the nail on a very thin layer, which is harmless in small quantities. Applying gel, then removing it with acetone and applying it again over and over lifts and destroying the scales of the nail deeper and deeper.
      Also, in the US and Europe, a lot of nail techs that doing really harmful mistakes and quality of their manicure is really bad, I don't know why this is going on.

    gel will eventually come off in acetone, but it’s not easy. when the olygomors in gel products cure they turn into polymers which are usually resistant to chemicals. this will make the soak off take longer, so it’s easier to just file them down. (obviously not everybody has a drill to drill it down, but if you’re still going to soak, get the product as thin as possible)
    also make sure not to soak off every time, or too often. acetone isn’t great for your nails and scraping the product off can cause micro cuts in your nail beds, eventually weakening them.
    i hope somebody finds this useful ❤❤

    rubber base is the only thing i use now. my nails used to break all the time and would not hold acrylics or other applications, they would always lift. but not this base 💕💕

    i was wondering why my rubber base gel nails weren’t looking smooth (I would have lumps and valleys especially down the sides of my nails)
    🤦‍♀️ It’s because I kept curing the thin “slip” (? I think that’s what it’s called!) layer first and then going in with the big bead 😂
    I learn and get a little bit better each time I do it though! I will say however until I save up enough to buy an e-file, soaking it off is NOT fun and takes forever even with the hack videos online… My regular filing skills are nowhere near fast enough to compensate for not having the drill 😅

  • @ashlaraque4135

    I love rubber base and fiber base! I find that rubber base doesn’t last as long as fiber base but it still definitely stops me from breaking my nails

    • @thegraytergood
      @thegraytergood  ปีที่แล้ว +3

    • @ashlaraque4135
      @ashlaraque4135 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      @@thegraytergood girl fiber base will change your life lol. It’s a nice happy medium between builder gel and rubber base. It’s stronger than rubber base like builder gel but I find it easier to apply than builder gel and I find that it doesn’t lift as much. I use it accompanied with the Young nails protein bond and it lasts me 4+ weeks. I suggested the Didier fiber base.

    actually, having a bit of bend to your nails is good! it means your nails are flexible and less likely to break under an impact :)

    • @HWolfe
      @HWolfe ปีที่แล้ว

      I noticed that a couple of days ago as I treat my hands and my fingernails like gold, with oils creams, slathering hand cream constantly OCD style, and using anything but my fingernails when I work. I use the finger pads only.
      Nail bent pretty good but it was amazing, in that I never had my nail bounce back like that without breaking before! My hand and fingers are shaped like yours which is a blessing anyway! My fingernails look just like the vlogger's now. I thank her greatly!!

  • @starlightangel1990
    @starlightangel1990 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Honestly, whats even better is the YN(young nails) fiber gel. Does the same exact thing as rubber base but is stronger and has keratin built in. As a nail tech, ive been using on myself for almost a year, and when i soak off, my nails are crazy strong. I dont trust whats in a lot of brands and i wont buy generic rubber base, but you have to be careful as many seem to have HEMA which is a widly known allergen and can cause more harm than good. I have yet to have anyone have a reaction the the YN fiber gel.
