First video I’ve found explaining using builder gel with tips 🎉🙏🏻 wasn’t sure why my bead was bleeding everywhere but maybe because I didn’t use a base coat after prepping the tips, thanks for this helpful vid!
So happy and relieved I've found your channel. You are a great teacher. I'm a novice and your tutorials have empowered me to start my journey. I have been trying to grow out my natural nails unsuccessfully for 8 months after having acrylics for many. I was super attracted to rubber base builders. Although overwhelmed by either too complicated tutorials or not enough information. I'm excited instead of anxious now. Going to place an order. Thank you!
Awww thank you so much! 💖 I'm glad you're find the tutorials helpful and it's amazing to hear you have turned your anxiety into excitement! You Will love the rubber base coat, I also highly recommend the rubber top coat to work with it for maximum benefits xo
this tutorial is great. i only use biab on my nails, but struggle getting the apex in the right place, watching how you go about doing it ill try this next week & i didn't lnow you could mix & matching the builders. ibeas fascinated watching your decor with this I'm so going to have to try this. thankyou for sharing this. xx
@@karolwebster823 hey lovely! Thank you for watching - no the rubber base is a base coat for under builder gel or gel polish 💖... I'm glad you found the video helpful and I hope it helps you with building a apex.. thank you so much for watching! X
From looking at the CZcams stats we do only have a small percentage of male viewers.. however I'm glad you watch! And I think it's absolutely wonderful you're watching to do your partners nails! 💅🏼💅🏼
I am sooooo late to this video and I'm new, but what's the difference between a regular top coat and a rubber top coat? They look so pretty by the way!
Hey! The rubber top coat is a little thicker than the regular, making it brilliant for clients who are hard on their nails or suffer with weak nails/prone to chipping.. its also great for sealing in nail art and apply crystals ❤
These look gorgeous I’m just testing out gel polishes at the moment,I’m trying to find a brand I like ,I tried two today that are not cheap but I can’t say I was overjoyed with the outcome,but these look really nice xx
Thank you so much lovely ♥️ aww I've been there with being disappointed... I'd definately recommend trying the Kiki London colours! They have a huge range, vegan friendly, highly pigmented, and last really well! I know it can get expensive trying brands but I find Kiki really reasonably priced and you can save 10% off Kiki London with code BYAMANDA ♥️ xx
I started using builder gel in a bottle in my nails a few months ago but I started off with using forms. I had long natural nails but one after another started breaking so I would build them as they broke. Doing a whole set would take forever so might have to try out some tips!!!
Sorry I have only just see your comment! That's a shame the nails were breaking, if you find this happens it may mean you need to build up the thickness, also when using forms make sure there is enough product at the stress area (where the form meets the natural nail) this can help breakages.. but yes for quickness I do love tips too! ♥️♥️
Hi I’ve done a few of these sets now, and 2 people they have had a nail come off after catching etc. is this normal or am I doing something wrong. Please help. Xx
Hey lovely, Hmm no that is not normal - are the nails completely coming off or are they breaking at the free edge or tip area? If they're completely coming off it could be prep issue or not enough strength being build up. If thy're snapping at the free edge or extension the it could be there is not enough product in that area. Hopefully we can help you further
I get so caught up trying to blend in my tip with my natural before applying the gel. I noticed you aren't even bothering with the flairs on the sides of the start of tip. Does it still stay on with them flairing out and not attached perfectly to the real nail?
Hey! So In this video, I'm working on a practice/fake hand therefore not stressing as much about the tip flaring as its a little harder to file on these hand.. on a real hand yes it's best to get rid of any flaring but I only do a little blending of the nail tips as I try to use thin tips 💜
Your work is beautiful 😍 can you please do a video on doing nails on your mannequin hand please. An one more question how do you keep your hand looking so good around the cuticle area? Plus did you just glue the nail on the silicone or no? Thank you so much for getting back to me
@@lasheendamcghee8757 hey! Yes I can certainly do more videos on the practice hand... in regards to the Cuticle area I just be really gentle with it, I work on it like a real client so I treat the silicone like skin when it comes to filing I make sure I don't hit the silicone with my file, just like you would when you're working on a real hand... with this hand you don't need to glue the tips to the silicone, the fake nails slide into grooves/slits at the Cuticle area x
I'm so sorry I don't remember the tips, alot of the tips I use I've had for years and they don't have branding, but they're usually just regular square, coffin or stiletto tips - hopefully Kiki will have tips in the future! 🩷
@@Kiki.London ahh thanks. It’s just, the 1st set I did prime, rubber base, 1 coat slip biab then added glitter pieces and gel polish stripes, then cured 60s, then applied thicker builder in a bead, 60s then finished with rubber top coat, but the topcoat after curing went funny?? I wondered why. I applied another coat and cured to see and was fine?? Any ideas what I did wrong in the routine?
@Share Dalton that's so strange! When you say it went funny do you mean it wrinkled or separated? If so it could have been applied to think or sometimes if there's any oils or dust that's hit the nail before Top coating this can happen xx
Hey! This was a longer set of nails so does take a bit more building however you don't actually use loads of the product, the bottles are 15ml so last quite a few sets however this does depend on what length sets you're doing, alot of the time builder gel is used for Overlays or short to medium length nails therefore not using lots of product per a set ♥️
Can you send me a link to the tips that you used in this video? All of the stilettos that I come across are way too long and end up having to file them a lot
Hey! I'm so sorry I don't remember which tips I used here, alot of the tips I use are from a local nail shop and just in clear generic packaging! However hopefully tips will be available at Kiki London soon!
Hey! It depends on the top coat you're using. If you use the no Wipe Top Coat, Rubber Top Coat or the Matte Top Coat then no you do not need to Wipe after. If you use the one that is simply called top coat, this leaves a tacky layer which you do need to wipe ♥️
Dude, theyre making these rubber hands scarily real looking. 😱
Haha! I agree!
Really. I was watching one video and thought, damn, that customer is nervous. She needs a benzo..
@@melissacurtis7216 Hahaha! :D
“Not working on a real hand” I had to do a double take
Absolutely gorgeous. I’ve learned so much from you and i love watching you do nail art.

Hey! Ah I'm glad you found the video!! ♥️ yes personally I find it easier with a base coat down! Thank you for watching! X
I just got all my products in the mail yesterday! Supper excited to do my full set 😍
Ooh sooo exciting ♥️♥️ enjoy doing your nails!! Xox

Any other males on here that watch these? I watch so I can do my partners nails. 🤣🙈 I’m getting good at it. Thanks for the help! 🙌🏻

These are beautiful. 😍 I love the contrast of the matt nail with all the glittery ones.
Thank you! I love combining matte and glossy! 💖💖
Love this design. Love the tutorial on the builder gel. Awesome work.

Can you do the builder gel in bottle on full false nail please
Hey! Do you mean on top of a full nail tip? 💜
How long did they last?

Does the biab have the same effect as it would if you didn't apply the tips? Ur nails still get stronger, grow etc x
Hey! Yes definitely, so that would be a builder gel overlay, and is great for strengthening and growing your natural nails 💖💖
@@Kiki.London Thanks so much for the reply means alot, I'll try it out !xx
@@elliekerr6742 you're very welcome! Anything you need help with just let me know ♥️ x
Don’t need to alcohol wipe after the builder gel before I gel polish or can I cure the builder for 60secs then apply a layer of gel polish ?
That should read do I*
Hey no you don't need to wipe before applying gel polish, unless you want to buff or file, then you need to wipe first. ♥️
@@Kiki.London ahh thanks.

If so it could have been applied to think or sometimes if there's any oils or dust that's hit the nail before Top coating this can happen xx
Which glue was used ?
Hey unfortunately I don't have a name for the glue it was just a generic nail glue I've had in my kit for a while ♥️
@@Kiki.London thanks for replying. Which glue do you recommend? I used a builder and gel glue(on separate nails) both popped off at the same time
Kiss nail glue
A lot of building, I'm wondering how long those tiny bottles last?
Hey! This was a longer set of nails so does take a bit more building however you don't actually use loads of the product, the bottles are 15ml so last quite a few sets however this does depend on what length sets you're doing, alot of the time builder gel is used for Overlays or short to medium length nails therefore not using lots of product per a set ♥️
Hi! Late to this video, where did you get your practice hand? Thank you 😊
Hey! The practice hand is from Glamerliz x
It’s expensive but it’s so worth it! I have the Beyoncé hand only thing is I wish I would of gotten the one with the stand clamp.
Where did you buy your silicone hand?
Hi its from Glamerliz x
Can you send me a link to the tips that you used in this video? All of the stilettos that I come across are way too long and end up having to file them a lot
Hey! I'm so sorry I don't remember which tips I used here, alot of the tips I use are from a local nail shop and just in clear generic packaging! However hopefully tips will be available at Kiki London soon!
I need to know where do you buy the nail tips ?
I found full cover gel tips on Amazon.
Do I need to wie down the top Coat at the end as well...or not?😁
Hey! It depends on the top coat you're using.
If you use the no Wipe Top Coat, Rubber Top Coat or the Matte Top Coat then no you do not need to Wipe after.
If you use the one that is simply called top coat, this leaves a tacky layer which you do need to wipe ♥️
👍🏽🥰😍
♥️♥️♥️
Why not coffin tips themselves?
Hey! I think at the time I didn't have any coffin nails - so this was a alternative ♥️
