My Prep and Bond:

Thank you so much for your instructions I appreciate your help ❤💋

[dvxAznxvb]

ok i’ll be expecting a video about what IS for gel instead of what isn’t

[ts]

This is so good to know! A lot of companies don’t say which is prior or second 😂 could be self explanatory but for new beginner nail techs it’s helpful as a reminder!

Yess and you made the bottles perfectly for those that are just beginning for starting on the journey as a tech

Oh wait... I got a gel polish set a few years ago. It included dehydrator and primer. But I always had lifting problems. Was it wrong to have these products with gel polish?

[SeraphinaMoon-ow]

TYSM for that explanation. It was so informative and helpful. 😊

[iamatryin]

I used this dehydration and primer method when I did my gel nails. (Not polish) and I didn't have any issues.

[alwaysblessed]

Yes! I put a big 1 and 2 on the side of mine so I don’t get mixed up🙃

You state that these are meant for acrylics. Are there equivalent products for gel systems?

[diane]

OMG that's why my gel polish has been lifting because I use both of these before I apply my gel polish.
If I shouldn't use these for gel then what prep should I use for gel polish? just the gel base coat?

[tylercreekmore]

Is there a difference between dehydrator and acetone? Which is best?

[amandah]

I use gel and ALWAYS apply a dehydrator before my base coat.

Omg my mom had an acrylics kit from a long time ago when she went to beauty school she had everything but I guess no bonder I did my nails for grad with just a dehydrator they stayed on but only for 3 days I think

[JIF]

What would happen if you oversaturate the nails with the bonder?

[shantelledarwin]

Hey suzie! Could you do a full video on "aquarium" nails?? I've watched jst about all your videos and have never seen you do it. And are they safe to do considering your leaving water/oil in your nails? I would like to try them.

[sootopossum]

I also used to use the dehydrator when just normally painting my nails bc my mom said it would help it stick is that even true?

[CieraMychele]

Suzy, I was wondering if I should be putting another base coat before the top coat. So after the acrylic and before the top coat, should there be another base coat?

In that same vein, can I file down my nails and put gel right on top without basecoat or do I need a basecoat?

[maramorales]

The dehydrator/primer duo I purchased clearly says its for gel so I'm confused.

[Cjewell]

I just use a regular dehydrator or even alcohol will work and I've seen ppl use thin layer of alcohol then a thin layer of acetone over that then let dry. If ur nails are already dry & brittle tho I'd skip it. Also primers are usually the same I just get mine off Amazon. I'm in a nail group on Facebook. You can find a bunch of tips and tricks on there.

I’ve been trying to do a simple gel overlay on my short and picked natural nail but have been having an awful time with the whole nail popping off. This may be the problem? Which products don’t work with gel?
