I’m not a nail girl at all but watching this makes me want to be a nail girl, lol. I really love how natural the colour looks. I have the same problem with breakage. I can grow my nails long but only to a certain point before they are prone to breaking. 💅
Hi Shonagh, really nice video! I want to buy a beginners kit for myself. Can you indicate the tools you used in the video, like the sharp cuticle pusher and the small brush to help guide the gel? Many thanks!
Hey! I love the color of this nail polish but I can't purchase it since I am not a professional. Do you have any alternative gel nail polishes that are the same color and that I could purchase?
Thank you so much for this video, I bought the products and my nails came out perfectly! I've always wanted that glassy pink look but could never get it with normal nail polish and this stuff is so easy to work with! Can you paint over these if you fancy a change with normal nail polish though? I'm most grateful to you! xx
Wow, I LOVE the natural look of your nails. What an amazing job! I was wondering if you could tell me the best type of UV lamp you used I cure the gel? My nails are so weak and I need something quality because I really want to attempt this and keep it up. Please and thanks! You’re amazing!
Thanks for this, Shonagh! When I get a bit lower in quantity of my current gel I am going to try this for sure. Meantime I'll satisfy my urge to shop with the Cuticle Away. 🤭
So Happy you showed this and that all of the products are cruelty free! I had given up on nails, now I might test it again. Is a certain type of lamp you have, or will any do?
Nail tech here - you need a lamp with a low heat setting. It avoids heat spikes and BIAB needs to be cured slowly and gradually - 90 seconds or more. Undercured gel is what causes allergies and reactions.
If I do gel nails like the video can you remove the gel with just nail polish remover or do you have to use a specific product? Great video please let me know.
Great video. I'm just getting to doing my nails. . I did builder gel and then I put gel polish on. It turned out nice. But I'm still learning. Your nails 💅 are lovely.
Do you not have to buff the nails at all? Or did you do that when you removed them? If so, was that with a white block or soft file? Thanks so much. Gorgeous nails xxx
I am a nail tech I do it all .. acrylic, hard gel , polygel, gel polish, gel full cover tip application technique with either gel or acrylic… even though I don’t do my own very often my health is failing ie: kidney failure and extremely bad anemia and rare type of diabetes it’s a mess .. but I’m just not able to do my own or clients I still practice on my red iguana
Wow I’ve never heard of this!! I’m so bad at painting my nails and they never last, but I reckon with this it’s easier since they cure! Thanks so much for sharing, this is exactly what I was looking for 🥰🤩
Yes you can use the forms! Apply a thin layer first to create the shape then cure it. Then apply a slip layer, and then a bead to build up on it, the same way you would here in this video.
Hey Carmel! Thank you. No, you don’t need to but I usually wipe over the nail with acetone having removed the previous BIAB so it’s usually dehydrated anyway. It definitely won’t hurt but it’s not necessary.
@@youreinacultcallyourdad395 Thanks for posting this! So you’re saying that one you completed the Groupon course you received a certificate and a number that you could enter on The Gel Bottle’s site which allowed you to order their products? Have you actually received your order? And can you link the Groupon course you took? Thanks! ❤️
Love the results! I tried to purchase this but am not a licensed tech and it requires your certification to buy. Do you know of any other ways to purchase, or perhaps, a product that’s comparable?
I recommend bluesky’s gel polish in the shade ‘bare lingerie’ it’s not biab it’s a gel polish and it’s slightly more sheer which means using more layers but I use the same technique as the biab and you can get the same glass nail effect.
Cure the first layer before applying your slip layer for the second coat. You don’t cure this layer before applying the bigger bead of gel as this will work as a puddle for the bead to pull into.
Just to prevent any under-curing. Under-cured gel can cause lifting and other problems so it’s worth just making sure that all is fully cured. Also, because we only partly cured each nail as we went, they didn’t have a full cure until the last nail is complete. Gel can appear cured on the outside but the inside can be slightly under, it’s never happened to me but I’ve seen cases of it online so it’s important just to make sure it’s solid from the inside out. I know the gel bottle recommend 60-seconds but I prefer to stick to the original 120-secs for the final cure. Hope that explains it well ☺️👍🏼
You could use it with a generic UV lamp but bare in mind it can cause heat spikes with this product which can damage your nailbed, the TGB lamp has been designed to prevent heat spikes. You can’t use this polish without a lamp.
Hey I just brought a UV lamp finally and then realised all my fave tutorials are using regular polish -not gel/UV set.. can I put on regular polish and then use a UV set top coat to get the look of my favourite polishes but have the long lasting affect of UV set polish?? TY
They likely won’t last AS long as gel polish but it will help to prevent chipping of your regular polish. You must leave a little gap around the cuticle and sidewalls for the clear UV top coat to adhere to the natural nail bed or it will just peel off after a day or two. Don’t forget to cap the free edge as well.
Of course it’s not exactly the same, but Essie - Inside Scoop. It’s quite sheer, I use 3 coats and can still subtly see the lighter colour at the nail tip - but it’s one of my favourite varnishes. The sheerness makes it look quite shiny too, you could check it out.
I doubt you or anyone will see this.. but before you put that too coat on.. could you add on a coat on the normal gel? I’m just thinking one of their light sheer shimmers.. and then the top coat?
Hi Charlotte, You only require a rubber base coat with gel colours and I believe the original Clear BIAB (but not the clear All In One BIAB). And yes, top coat required for all (again, except the All In Ones - even though I still personally add the top coat to them).
This brand is great but they don’t seem to let you purchase the products unless you are a qualified professional because you have to upload a copy of your certificate to your “account” which is so frustrating...particularly when you have a certificate but it’s in a really safe place and you can’t locate it...😔🤦🏼♀️
I’m not a nail girl at all but watching this makes me want to be a nail girl, lol. I really love how natural the colour looks. I have the same problem with breakage. I can grow my nails long but only to a certain point before they are prone to breaking. 💅
Honestly imo the best builder/natural nails I've ever seen, so beautiful and so natural looking.. Great video too, thanks 👍🏻
Thank you so much 🤗💅🏻
I love how you can explain why and how to apply different top coats and how it gives certain texture or finishes to the nails. It is so helpful !
You are so welcome!
My nail tech uses this exact color on me! I get a “fill” every two weeks and she can put chrome on top, gel polish or foil! Love this stuff!
Her natural nails are gorgeous!
Literally the perfect nail color
I love it!
Your nails/hands are absolute goals 😲 P.s. nobody's gonna comment on how stunning that ring looks too?! 🤩 Perfect combo!! 👏🏻💅🏻
Thank you Lynne!
Can you show us how you infill these nails, please.
Hi Shonagh, really nice video! I want to buy a beginners kit for myself. Can you indicate the tools you used in the video, like the sharp cuticle pusher and the small brush to help guide the gel? Many thanks!
Are there any shades you recommend like this one in a non-gel formula? It's really so unique.
Beautiful universal color for all skin tones! Just ordered some. 😍
Enjoy doing your nails!
this looks amazingly cute and clean. I have psoriatic nails so it is sad to know that ill never achieve that kind of look on me.
Is that tool a good idea to use on natural nails to reduce build up of stuff? Your nails are lovely Shonagh 💝
That's pretty cool for not being sponsored or anything else just sharing for "giggles" . You are fantabulous human being.💗💗
Yeah, I genuinely love the product! I’ll always disclose any sponsorships and I’ll always genuinely like the product before considering a sponsorship.
What nail cuticule remover instrument did you use?
Thanks for sharing your skills on nail 💅 very beautiful
This was so satisfying to watch 😊loved the different type of tut Shonagh ❤️
Love this shape & length! ❤
Thank you!
What artistry. I just get a reg mani/pedi. No designs. I've never had the joy of seeing this type of art up close.
This is so beautiful most I was tort just to apply like nail polish not to build up like that will try it this way

@@ShonaghScott perfect, thank you again! xx
It says you need to show proof you are a beautician to buy. How did you buy them?

You’re amazing!
Thank you! I use a lamp by TheGelBottle, it’s been designed to use with this polish as it has a low setting to avoid heat spikes.

I loved this and you motivated me to do it. So sad when I saw I needed a certificate on the website to purchase the builder polish ☹️☹️☹️☹️
You can purchase from NailzKatKat without a certificate!
Brilliant tutorial! Great beauty related content. Thank you for posting. Straight to the point & very informative. Beautiful nails 💕
Perfect natural nails 😍
Very kind, thank you!
really so cute and gentle nails for girls . i love it
it sucks that you have to be a nail tech to buy the nail polish:(
You don’t
@@teccs9652 in the US you need to be licensed to purchase on their website
It won’t let me buy it and I’m in the UK
You need to upload a beauty certificate
Your ring is beautiful!
Thank you!
If I do gel nails like the video can you remove the gel with just nail polish remover or do you have to use a specific product? Great video please let me know.
You have such lovely nail beds x
💥💥 00:32 Love this cuticles product, gonna try with the sharp tool
What a beautiful ring u have
Great video. I'm just getting to doing my nails.
. I did builder gel and then I put gel polish on. It turned out nice. But I'm still learning. Your nails 💅 are lovely.
These are stunning!
Thanks Annie!
You are so talented 💅🏼 x
Perfect 😍 But how to remove it ?
Can you link the cuticle pusher? Or suggest one?
Do you not have to buff the nails at all? Or did you do that when you removed them? If so, was that with a white block or soft file? Thanks so much. Gorgeous nails xxx
I used a 100/180 file just to buff over the surface before applying the colour ☺️👍🏼
Hi, can you recommend a cuticle tool as used in this video ? Thank you
love the color
Thanks, Michelle! It’s my favourite!
Thank you for such a great tutorial! I noticed you went straight in with the gel polish, is there no need for a base coat at all? 😊
You’re welcome! And no, no base coat required! Makes it much quicker for the application.
love your ring!!!!!!!
Thanks Deborah!
Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you!
wow ammmazing .. do you have any idea If I can find a color similar that is NOT GEL ? regular nail polish? thank you again
Looks a bit like Kure Bazaar Rose Milk to me ✌️
I am a nail tech I do it all .. acrylic, hard gel , polygel, gel polish, gel full cover tip application technique with either gel or acrylic… even though I don’t do my own very often my health is failing ie: kidney failure and extremely bad anemia and rare type of diabetes it’s a mess .. but I’m just not able to do my own or clients I still practice on my red iguana

U got beautiful nails!!! 😍
That’s really kind, thank you!
Hi can you build with this colour using the forms? And How do you use it.
Just seen your video now for the first time and really like it. Thank you
Yes you can use the forms! Apply a thin layer first to create the shape then cure it. Then apply a slip layer, and then a bead to build up on it, the same way you would here in this video.
So beautiful nails thanks
Hi Shonagh, I love these videos focusing on BIAB application and wondered if you could point me in the direction of the course you did please??
Hey Monica, sadly the course is not available anymore. It appears the lady is no longer offering them - sorry about that!
@@ShonaghScott Thank you so much for replying :)
@@MonicaGale anytime! ♥️
Gorgeous beautiful ❤❤❤
Thanks Sam!
Hi Shonagh, fab video! Do you need dehydrate and prime before this BIAB? Thanks 😊xx
Hey Carmel! Thank you. No, you don’t need to but I usually wipe over the nail with acetone having removed the previous BIAB so it’s usually dehydrated anyway. It definitely won’t hurt but it’s not necessary.
Looks great, unfortunately I am allergic to all gel nail Ingredients so I stick with normal nail polish instead
So beautiful ! 😍
You inspired me to start doing this myself!! currently doing my first ever attempt :D
Hi, thx for the video. I love thid colour so much. Can we use this gel without the machin with blue light??
This tutorial was perfect ! I love how it was in real time & all the tips you gave ! Definitely going to give this a go 🫶🏽
It's so beautiful and I would love to have it for me... If you please tell me where can I get it and approximate cost of it
Thankyou so much for your knowledge very helpful.
I love nails😍😍😍
Me too!
i loved this video
Could you use this technique with other non-builder gel polishes?
Beautiful 🤩
Beautiful!!
Stunning!!
Thanks, Maddie!
✊🏻✊🏻00:32 gonna try the product
So beautiful 😍💖
Great video! What's the brand of the cuticle stick that you are using you didn't put it in the comments I tried to find it but I couldn't
Does anyone know where to get this product without a license ?
I got mine off eBay but you have to pay double the price but its worth it
I got my certification through a Groupon course and it was accepted!
@@youreinacultcallyourdad395 Thanks for posting this! So you’re saying that one you completed the Groupon course you received a certificate and a number that you could enter on The Gel Bottle’s site which allowed you to order their products? Have you actually received your order? And can you link the Groupon course you took? Thanks! ❤️
@@youreinacultcallyourdad395 Hi, what Groupon was this, is it still valid??
Yaaassss think we've all been waiting for this one! Thank you!!! Xx
Grrat Video! May I ask why you stopped doing nails Professionally?
Love the results! I tried to purchase this but am not a licensed tech and it requires your certification to buy. Do you know of any other ways to purchase, or perhaps, a product that’s comparable?
I'm having the same issue. Hope there's a way...
I found this too 😔 I have found some on eBay but they are more expensive. Haven’t tried Amazon yet though.
I recommend bluesky’s gel polish in the shade ‘bare lingerie’ it’s not biab it’s a gel polish and it’s slightly more sheer which means using more layers but I use the same technique as the biab and you can get the same glass nail effect.
I’ve been using the Mylee builder gel while waiting (in lockdown) to go back to my nail tech who uses biab on me and it’s ready good! I’d recommend ☺️
I recommend opi nail varnish in bare my soul its such a pretty sheer nude colour
wow you nail beds are extremely nice. Can you do a video with short square nails?
Thank you!
Haha, unfortunately I won’t cut my nails shorter 🙈
@@ShonaghScott Its ok I have found videos on your channel where you have short square nails.
Yeah! They were from a while back
☺️👍🏼
@@ShonaghScott I bet they would look good with just clear nail varnish on
Like always the best, thank you so much for explaining with detail it helps so much! Blessings ✨
You’re welcome, Gloria!
Please after applying the first coat, did you cure it before applying the second coat of the gel?
Cure the first layer before applying your slip layer for the second coat. You don’t cure this layer before applying the bigger bead of gel as this will work as a puddle for the bead to pull into.
I’d love to order this product, but it’s for professionals only.
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
love it
Can you link your curing light
Why do you cure for two minutes at the end? The GelBottle says to do it for 60secs. Just curious if there’s added benefit.
Just to prevent any under-curing. Under-cured gel can cause lifting and other problems so it’s worth just making sure that all is fully cured. Also, because we only partly cured each nail as we went, they didn’t have a full cure until the last nail is complete.

Thank you so much!
What solution do you use for remove the gel
Hi where did you get that little brush you swoop to the side of the nail please
Can i use this beautifull color without the device?
You could use it with a generic UV lamp but bare in mind it can cause heat spikes with this product which can damage your nailbed, the TGB lamp has been designed to prevent heat spikes. You can’t use this polish without a lamp.

Wow! so cheaper products weaken nails?
Is there a different brand with a similar colour for those who don't have a license?
Premier Gel Paris liquid builder gel is very similar
Gelish Structure in Cover Pink is great.
Did you end up getting anything similar ?
has anyone a dupe in normal nail polish version?😩 its the perfect shade of pink
Of course it’s not exactly the same, but Essie - Inside Scoop. It’s quite sheer, I use 3 coats and can still subtly see the lighter colour at the nail tip - but it’s one of my favourite varnishes. The sheerness makes it look quite shiny too, you could check it out.
@@Lisa-er4zf thank you so much! I've looked it up on pinterest and I really like thr colour! I'm going to give this one a try.
nice! how can i get this effect with a no soak laquer?? 😔
Where can I get that nail tool ? What that exact kind (same one ☝🏻)
I doubt you or anyone will see this.. but before you put that too coat on.. could you add on a coat on the normal gel? I’m just thinking one of their light sheer shimmers.. and then the top coat?
Hi Laura, yes you can! I’ve just created a Rose Quartz look using Clear BIAB topped with Silk Gel from the same brand, followed by the top coat.
I dont want to buy a machine for gel polishes that require it, but what other gels do you recommend that dont require the light
There aren't any gels on the market that don't need a lamp to cure.
Your ring is beautiful
Thanks so much Stephonna!
@@ShonaghScott you’re welcome!!
Hi what cutical pusher did you use please
Can I get this done in London
Can I use sensationail led lamp for these?
Would you recommend a rubber base/top coat ? I ordered it in a gel bottle biab bundle so assuming ok? X
