Thank you very much ❤️

[@TheNailBugLLC]

Thank you for the very informative video. I was surprised that you said to remove the sticky layer before adding color. I was taught that is what helps the next layer adhere to the previous layer. Can you explain why you recommend removing the sticky layer first?

[@annakobnailstudio]

If we dive deeper, the sticky layer is the residue of the color, base, or gel that hasn't fully polymerized. It doesn't affect the next layer you will apply. You can remove it or leave it, depending on your preference. However, this sticky layer can interfere with the coating. Before applying the color, I remove it so the color applies more evenly and doesn’t seep under the cuticle.

[@TheNailBugLLC]

Thank you. I'm going to try it today

[@annab6948]

Great video, I learned a lot! Thank you!

[@annakobnailstudio]

Thank you very much ❤️

[@modaciouslav4792]

What is the gel ur using? Is it just gel polish because it seems way too thin to be a builder gel.

[@modaciouslav4792]

14:57 was this a rubber base coat?

[@myruffleddreams1906]

In the beginning she said she was using clear with some white mixed in for color. It is much too thin to even be a 1step overlay gel. Seems too thing for a top coat even.

[@annakobnailstudio]

In the beginning I said that I took a liquid base and simply mixed it with white color just for demonstration purposes to show the essence. But in the second part of the video, I showed the same thing but on real nails and with gel. Or am I confusing something and not understanding your question?

[@juliesanchez77777]

What do you use to hold the single nail up?

[@annakobnailstudio]

Sorry, I didn't understand the question.
