I love a glossy natural nail! That way even though your nails are bare (meaning no color), it's still looks "put together".
I put the builder gel in a bowl of super hot water! Super easy to work with!
This video was so helpful. I wanted to use builder gel but didn't know how to use it properly. You answered all my questions.
Thanks for this! I appreciated the comparison with IBD-I use Dipalicious, but with my tiny, flat nail beds, I fight with the brush. Now I know I can try the IBD in a pot and it’ll be the same basic process. And thanks for chatting a bit about peel base. Great video, as always!
I LOVE glossy nails! But I've been recently seeing some really nice manicures with matte finish!!
Ooooooo thank you for this video! I’ve been waiting for these. I love all of the tips you provide help me so much. I am definitely a filler and am excited for gel fill!
I think you’ll find this SO easy! Thanks for watching, darlin! ❤️
I recently discovered builder gel and I love it! I'm sti a newbie with it also so still experimenting with different ways to apply & working on keeping it thin but I have found that I absolutely LOVE Triple D builder gel. Its so amazing & really super easy to work with.
I also started using Triple D builder gel, with Y & N base...I’ve had it on a week now..no lifting or anything..I’m such a newbie at curing with a lamp..lol Love the product
I love flossy nails. It seems that no matter what I have on them they look better with a shine.
Love a glossy hard gel. ibd Hard Gel is what I started with and am curious about the ones in the bottle. But it may be a thousand years by the time I use up my ibd. Thanks for a great vid. I learn something new each time.
I always do my builder gel, a gel base coat and then Unt peel base - I love it!!!! I use Orly Builder in a Bottle - no base coat required
Omg I have been binge watching your videos ever since our fast convo.
Thanx Marla! Have an awesome week!
I loved this video. So helpful and informative. Still trying to find the happy medium with peel base, (think I’m getting there) and this method is so much better than soaking off every week.
They look so natural the way you did it 😍💅
Watch once for enjoyment watch a second time for note taking. Always love a Marla video!!
You make my heart smile 🥰
Your tutorials are seriously the best!!! So simplified & easy to understand 👏🏽👏🏽💖
That means so much to me 🫶🏻🥰
I always look forward to your videos ❤️ always glossy!
Great video! So much more informative than my "just do it like gel polish" answer. 🤣
I prefer the builder in the jar, but only because I love my brush.
My nails are ALWAYS shiny. Even when bare.
This video is awesome! I’ve been looking for step by step builder gel to peel to dip for days. Thanks Marla!
You’re so welcome, lovebug!! 💞
Happy New Year!! This is excellent. Love the fan. I need one. I just purchased the Dipalicious Builder Polish and Gel Polish. Excited to try it.
You’ll have to lmk how you like it!
Grr trying right now. Having a problem curing. Nails are still wet. There's a difference between "tacky" and "wet". Mine are wet meaing it's coming off on the finger tip that I touch the Builder Gel. My lamp is 72W SunUVLED Lamp (1 month old). I used Igel Bond, Dipalicious Base Coat then Dipalicious Builder Gel. Followed instructions on on the little card they provided with purchase. Still wet. I've cured 60s/60s/99s double power/99s double power/99s double power still wet 😩 On a good note, the Dipalicious Remover Gel works well. I used it to remove my dip powder before I started this process.🤷🏽♀️
I like the natural nail to look natural. With color I've always liked glossy but...since I've been dipping I have become quite attracted to the matte finish as a stand out nail mostly. I have done full matte a couple of times when I felt like it fit the color and/or season better. I guess I just like it all lol!
Ur nails look AWESOME Marla! 😍
Thank you sweetheart! ❤️❤️
I prefer natural nails to be glossy. I love how they look when the light hits them. For color it depends on my mood. I tend to like matte more on other people.
instaBlaster...
I think you'd find the IBD pot gel easier to use if you used a gel brush, (the bristles are shorter and has a better shape) the brush you're using is more of an acrylic brush which is softer and pointed.
Thank you Marla. I have binge watched your video's over the last 2 months. You have taught me so much and my dip nails are finally starting to look decent!
I love both matte and glossy depending on the look. Ugghhhh I really really need to try builder gel. I even bought IBD, just haven't tried it yet. I'm afraid of things I can't soak off! Lol commitment phobe!
Omg I know the feeling!! That’s what files are for!
My nail finish depends on my mood, whether it's natural nails or all done up nails. It's always spur of the moment with my finishes, too.
Yep lol same!!
I've been filing down to clear because I hate soaking off. I have been doing a dip fill but it does take a while to file everything out etc. I'm totally trying the builder gel fill...And I just bought a ton more stuff. #MarlaMadeMeDoIt. I think i prefer the natural looking nails but i am mesmerized by the glossy and love looking at that. Of course i never wear my nails without color unless I didn't have time to finish my mani. :)
Loves this thanks for all ur tips love bug. Love glossy nails all the way
I will say tho the matte nails are certainly a new like for me😁💖💅💅
I was curious to know if I could fill my dip powder acrylic and gel short nails with my new builder gel in a bottle cuz I love the shape and durability of my nails but I didn’t want to fill them with dip again so I am glad you did this video now I can fill my nails with the gel and know it will work!! Thanks again!!!🤣
It sure will! Been about a week since filming and the nails are still perfect! No lifting, no weirdness!
every time i put a clear dip powder on i ALWAYS buff after topcoat! same as you, i hate a glossy natural nail look! when i do designs or color, though, i prefer glossy to matte.
What do you recommend to help grow natural nails and for either dip or gel to last longer without lifting?
I so rarely have plain, natural nails, that I’ve never thought about how I like them. If my nails aren’t manicured with polish/gel/other product, I’m afraid I’ll chew them off. Thanks for this video. I’m about to do a backfill with polygel. 😬
Ooh yay! Lmk how it goes!
Have you tried Madam Glams builder gel? I can’t wait to see the Yayoge’s review!
Helpful or not. Your always entertaining. I havnt tried this but i always like to watch to keep up with whats out there.
After dipping and my brush getting hard with top coat. Im always wondering can you clear cap with gel with polygel? Always wondering if anyone has tried these things and how they are using em. Lol! Im always late to the game lol sometimes reg polish is the easy road for me. I will keep an eye out for a good sale tho. Thats why im part of the mani fam always keeping me posted!
Yea you CAN!! I have a video coming soon (already filmed it) on encapsulating glitter in builder gel! Stay tuned!!
Marla. Can you dip the bottle applicator brush into the ibd pot and apply the ibd this way?
If I’m doing a dip mani I usually don’t topcoat for a few days and that’s if I remember to do it. I don’t really have a preference it’s more of a do I wanna be lazy or not thing
Prefer Matte finish✨😊
Love your Channel Marla!💗
Newbie here.
Do you cure each finger, one at a time, or do you do All of them at the same time, after your done w/builder gel or builder gel in bottle?
Hi Marla! thank you for this video! I am an armature but I am understanding the Builder gel process and I cannot wait to try it soon on me. I want a better understanding after all the steps of sculpting with the builder gel the second time you added the MIA (xtra bond) at what part do you add the Peel base coat and how do you follow on to your dip powder nails?? Peel base is used to peel off any color/ gel dip powder correct? Could you do a video doing gel base ALL the steps and get to dip powder too? maybe not the entire hand but a finger or two would be very helpful for noobies like me who tend to take a lot of notes lol. Thank you for the help and for sharing your experiences.
Hey lovebug! So o ended this video with the finished builder gel mani. If you wanted to dip over this, you could would simply add the peel base, allow that to dry, then start your dip mani! Shoot me a DM or an email - I give you a detailed step x step 💕
I would love a step by step also, I’ve been trying to figure out on how to do this as well, and I’m so confused! Lol.
So pretty! I'm still undecided on the gel dip method. I'm still all dip for now.
Glossy all the way ❤
I'm wanting to start builder gel and gel liquids with dipping. What liquids and lamp do you recommend.
loved seen the ibd my artistic brand is runner.
I'm kind of like you in that the nail finish changes with the wind. But on a natural nail, I don't mind a glossy finish.
Could you skip the roughing up of the builder gel and just apply the top coat before peel off? I guess I’m asking why rough it up only to smooth it out? Is it necessary? Thx
I have a constant issue where I get lifting at my cuticle area as my mani grows out with peel base. I buff I cut my cuticles with a cuticle nipper I clean cuticle area after every dip and still it will lift at 10 days. But if I don’t use peel base and use a primer, when I go to take my mani off it doesn’t want to come off easy and I practically ripped off half my length of my real nails. It’s super frustrating!! I wish for my dip mani to stay on for 3 or more weeks and right now it’s just 10-12 days they start lifting off
What order do you put your peel base on Marla? I bought some of the UNT peel base off Amazon and was just curious to see what order you do. Thanks and love yours videos!
Peel base is my last step before application. As soon as this video ended - I put on peel base.
I preferred shiny until I saw your buffed. Now I like them both tx
I swear you knew I needed this video 😂
I’m just that damn good 😉❤️
well duh! 🤣🤣🤣
I love everything glossy, shiny, glowy, sparkly, etc.
I’m one of THOSE 😂
Your shape is perfection!! My nail preference depends on my mood too! Lol
Thank you!! Yep lol same!
GLOSSY! Always!🤣🤣❤️
Love this!! You did a fabulous job 😊 Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much! ❤️
I used a ceramic bit and to remove dip and it took some of the top layer of ny natural nail off to where it feels soft could builder gel be put over that till it heals or what should I do ?
As long as you’re not bleeding and it’s not painful, you can put whatever overlay you’d like on top! ❤️
I totally agree that natural nails should be matte/naturally shiny. Have you ever thought of using a matte top coat do you don't have to buff?
I have done it! It’s fine.. but I prefer just to buff the gloss. Something about the texture of the matte 🤷🏼♀️ I’m a weirdo
I also love glossy nails
So then you'd just do full dip straight over the builder gel?
If you dont like them glossy before applying ünt could you use a matte top coat and still have the same results without that last buff before applying ünt?
Yep I could use the matte - although sometimes the texture bothers me. I’m a weirdo 🤷🏼♀️
Thank you Much 💜
I just apply a very thin layer of the builder base an I only cure it for 15 seconds… like as thin a layer as possible. Then I go over it with a bead. Haven’t had any problems. I do it with my fills an never have lifting or breaking. However I started using the builder base over acrylics. When I broke a nail an had to redo it I used the builder gel an it seemed to break after 2 weeks an was weaker. So now my routine is if I am doing a new nail that did happen to break… that’s always because I did something dumb or went way to long between fills… then I do a very thin layer of acrylic with my tip file it smooth an then apply the builder base. That seems to really really help. I don’t know why but I chalk it up to a strong base or something I don’t relay know. But at this point most of my fingers are all builder gel an any acrylic has grown out. Maybe it’s not linked but that’s what I’ve been doing an its working.
It actually makes a ton of sense that the breakage would occur if you waited too long to back fill.. the apex is super important for stability so when that scoots down the nail because of growth, it can 100% lead to issues.
Is the pink ibd builder gel in a bottle the same color as the pink lace by mani boss ?
I honestly couldn’t tell you, as I haven’t used pink IBD.
So I just used Aimeila builder gel in a bottle for my 1st time. Now when I started to cure, my finger nail got real hot, like burning feeling. I ended up flash curing for 10s and then cured for 30s and it was fine. Should it have felt like that for my first time? Also the Aimeila is a base/builder gel but should I have maybe put a gel base down anyway 1st or could it have been that I just filed too much since I had on clear dip abd took that off so I can start all over with builder gel. Just not sure why my nail felt so hot at first!
The reason for the spike heat is too much gel builder on it.
Wait..so can I do dip powder base done with dip liquids and fill with builder gel?? That would make my day. I have a few nails with dip powder and a few with BG. I was trying both methods out at the same time to compare. I’m driving myself crazy trying to remember which is which. Filling them all with gel would fix that. Lol
You sure can!! WAY easier than a dip fill!
@@MarlaKris AWESOME! I’ll give it a try. Also have you ever tried buffing the nail with a SUPER fine buffer instead of doing the steps to add a top coat at the end? I do the first activator, file, buff with the orange block and then use the fine buffer. My nails almost shine on their own after the fine buffer and I have no issues with them pooping off with peel base. Just thought I would mention it. Thanks again.
I use a matte gel top coat before I use peel base instead of a Glossy top coat and buff. But I'm lazy.
Lol I’ve done that too!! Works great!
I always top coat my BG and leave it shiny because I've learned if I leave it matte and don't dip right away, my nails will turn a purple tinge from my hair! haha
😂😂 I used to deal with that too back when I was a redhead!
@@MarlaKris LOL!!
I am trying to absorbe as much information as I can. I am wanting to try builder gel, but still a little unsure as to when/how to use it! On natural nail? Or over a strengthener/growth polish. So much to learn and do!!
That’s the beauty of it!! You can do anything you want! I’m currently using it on my natural nail but you can build extensions with it and use it over tips! Don’t put it over polish or strengthener tho.. it won’t stick at all. It’ll just pop off or lift and cause greenies. 😖
@@MarlaKris thank you. I have been using Rejuvocate (I had an incident with peel base over dip that did NOT come off and I wrecked a few nails - all better now tho)...it is a growth polish and I use it on natural nail, then peel base, then dip process. Works great. Stays on all week and my nails have grown back and are healthy again. But NOW, I am very interested in builder gel...so will have to dive in pretty soon. Want a LED lamp not UV tho, so there is that!!
Marla. Can you clean off the bottle applicator and dip it into the pot to apply the Ibd?
Yeah, I don’t see any harm in that!
Hi marla still trying to wrap my head around this builder gel product heres my question...after the builder gel has cured can you go right into gel base and gel top coat or can you just top coat the nail since builder gel already has a tacky layer on it. the builder gel i am trying out is by AIMEILI and its a 2 in 1 product base and gel built into one so it has a sticky layer on it after its cured so im thinking just apply a gel base coat right on top of that sticky layer and by pass a gel base.what are your thoughts? and have you ever used AIMEILI
Yes! If you don’t need any filing, you can leave he tacky layer and go right in with top coat!
@@MarlaKris that's great one other step to avoid this is way I heart you! you always help me in confusing times and i have allot! between you and i can use anyone's gel base top coat. on top of the sticky layer of builder gel i have sooo many i would like to use them up.
hi marla do i need a no wipe gel base coat BEFORE i apply the builder gel? and... when doing a dip powder WITH NO PEEL BASE would i buff up the builder gel before applying the no dip resin base?
Gel base all dry tacky which is good! Tack means it’ll grip onto the builder. It’s not necessary for some, but you’ll have to play with it to see if it’s a necessary step for you.
Yes.. you’d want to rough up the gel so the dip better grips to it 💕
@@MarlaKris and this is why i follow and adore you! you ALWAYS help me and others out alll the time. thank you for getting back to me theres sooo much to learn and take in with this nail education and your always there to help.
@@MarlaKris hi my fav nail guru can you walk me thru the application steps of using peel base with builder gel and dip powder WITH BUILDER GEL VERESES DIP RESIN would it go something like this?
1. prep, cleanz, buff nails surface remove shine. apply primer.
2. apply 1 coat builder gel then cure.
3. repeat step 2 EXCEPT DO NOT CURE POUR DIP POWDER OVER B-GEL then cure.
4.remove sticky layer after curing buff nail surface then use a gel base and gel top coat.
I like glossy more than matte! So what’s the difference between builder gel and poly gel?
Polygel is essentially gel with acrylic powder mixed in. Builder is just a hard gel.
Brush definitely makes a difference. It looks like you're using a 3d art brush. Builder gel brushes usually have a straigher end. Just a thought.
Yep I just filmed a Yayoge builder gel video and used their gel brush (flat end) and there is def a difference but I still like my bottle brush lol
@@MarlaKris looking forward to seeing that video! I use bottle builder for some things, but struggle with it to build a nail.
@@MarlaKris, I can't wait to see how you like the Yayoge builder gel! I ALMOST purchased some today, but went with an IBD starter kit instead, since there are a lot of reviews for IBD. My nails are soooooo thin, I'm hoping hard builder gel helps provide a sturdy base that will prevent my nails from curling when they are long.
Isn’t hard builder gel in tub a file off and soft builder gel in a bottle is soak off?
Theoretically, you can file off any gel product. Some hard gels are acetone permeable, so those can be soaked off. It should say right on the product whether it’s soak off or not, but I’d always advise reaching out directly to the company if you’re unsure!
Can you do more with builder gel
This seems like a lot of steps. Is it worth it? How long would this last on your nail and does it help with protecting your nail from bumps and breaks?
Gel is a lot of prep - but for someone like me that does nails with peel off base coat numerous times a week, it’s a protectant. If you like to do a mani every 2 weeks (give or take) I would probably tell you to skip this!
Hi Marla, I have a question...which offers more strength dip powder or builder gel? I like putting builder gel over clear dip powder, especially since they in so many colors now.
Hey sweets! Acrylic is definitely stronger than any gel. Remember when builder was only clear?! That escalated quickly 😂
@@MarlaKris It sure did escalate quickly. I feel like a "weirdo" for putting builder gel over dip powder when I see videos of it being done in reverse.
@@KimLarae366 there are no rules!! You do whatever makes your heart (and nails) happy!!
Okay honestly how do I stop it from lifting at the sides. It drives me nuts
That could be for a few different reasons.. prep or product application. Feel free to email me or dm me and we can talk it out!
I love gloss but matte looks cool for some looks
I love your bubbly personality. Can you put it in a bottle and send it to me 😃. Thank you for your video. I'm a new to doing my builder gel. Still practicing. Love your video. Any advice on ppl with shakey hands please? I suffer from a nervous condition. Any advice will be helpful.
Lol pretty sure whatever I stuff in that bottle will be illegal in most states 🤣
YES!! Stabilize your wrists! I usually work at the edge of my nail desk and always have my wrists resting on the edge. Also.. avoid caffeine. I know if I have my 2nd coffee before nails I’m a whole hot mess! 💜
Is Gelish Structure gel the same as builder gel?
Yep! Same product. 💙
I know you are more of a dip gal. But I tried builder gel it was great at my cuticles no lifting there but I had lifting aty free edge. Why do you think that is.
How can you remove dip powder without removing the builder gel?
You have 3 options:
1- use a non-soak off builder gel
2- you can file off the color until you reach the builder
3- peel base over the builder
My nails snap off if i don't polish them so I try to keep.them polished. I prefer shiny because it last longer and I noticed Matt picks up lots of dust and stuff I can't easily wipe off. Did you say you have nail tips and you were just putting gel builder on to fill them? I have natural nails and used to gel all the time but stopped when I started having seizures again. I just started doing pour over manicures. I dont want to use peel off because I don't want to paint too often. Will just gel builder still help natural nail grow and can you recommend no peel options? Have a great day!
You’re so right.. matte nails tend to get dirty quick.
Yes! You can do the builder and dip over it. Then when you’re ready to change manis, just file off the color until you hit the clear builder.
@@MarlaKris thank you so much for responding! I love your channel. For the builder would I use uv light after pouring the dip powder over?
@@katclaus7425 well I wouldn’t pour powder over the builder gel. I would use gel base for the powder application (builder is way too thick and probably wouldn’t absorb the acrylic)
@@katclaus7425 but yes - I’d you wanted to use gel base for pouring over powder - you’d pour over, cure in the same lamp for 30 sec, then brush off excess
Good video. Does this damage your natural nails???
Great question! Product doesn’t damage nails. Files will tho.. so just be careful during prep and removal 💞
I agree with ya Marla, natural nails should be matte
I tried to use builder gel. It worked pretty well for my first time. However when I tried to remove it was so hard. Any tips on how to remove without damaging my real nail?
Yeah gel can be stubborn. I find it helps to file off as much as possible without touching the natural nail and then soak off. Or.. use a gel remover. I like this one.. amzn.to/3HsPH2j
@@MarlaKris thank you I ordered it. I am worried I ruined my natural nail. But hopefully this will help . Do you use it multiple times to take off the layers?
@@melissamercado6556 usually when I use the remover, I apply it twice. It does a great job. And zero nail damage! 🙌🏻
@@MarlaKriswill this also take off the builder gel if that’s under the gel polish?

I like glossy. Just hung up on glossy
Glossy
Where can I get that cuticle oil from ?

Thank you 🥰
I haven't tried matte nails, so I guess I like glossy. I think I'd feel as if glossy nails are undone. But I agree natural nails should not be glossy.
Mostly glossy
Guess I'm buying some builder gel :)
😂😂
Still listening to yas. I prefer glossy natural nails even tho it dorsnt technically make them natural anymore. Lol.
I prefer glossy nails.
to get a better brush application, don't put it in the alcohol between fingers. put a wet layer down, start 3/4 way on your nail, push the gel to your cuticle so no flooding. keeping gel on your brush after your mani will keep it conditioned if there is a cap for it. otherwise cleaning it with alcohol is needed to store your brush upright brush end down with the cap on. just what I have learned.
Well that makes total sense! Thanks for the tips, darlin!! 💕
Gloopy just about covers it 🤣
glossy for me u r so hilarious to listen too lol i see how to do the process now minus your weirdo- isms lmao
I think a matte nail looks more natural.
Which dips are POWERPUFF GIRLS and IM SO EXTRA...please.. I love the picture of the Mani in the header of your videos😍🤩😍
