I’m a licensed Nail Tech who has never worked with builder gel before . I used your video as a tutorial. This is very comprehensive and well broken down. Thank you so much!

You can also use a thin liner brush to even out the builder gel on the side walls. They came out really cute!! 🤗💜🌸

Hi Maddy! Thank you for your tutorials❤ Do you have a recommendation for a good nail drill to take off builder gel easily? I bought one and it's only good for prepping the nail before, not for taking off builder gel. It just doesn't do a thing to it except for little scratches.. and then I'm stuck with half peeling gel 😫 Will appreciate your input! Thank you! 🥰

do you base coat again before putting colour on or just straight on the builder?

Do you use a cuticle oil or specific hand cream? How do you keep your hands so moistured and not dry out from the alcohol?

Also, I'm a brand new subscriber so I haven't been able to watch more than a couple videos

Do you not have to dehydrate and prime nails? I’ve always thought you have to or is it preference?

Hey, I want to know why every time I’ve gotten my nails done with gel, they are absolutely destroyed and it takes about six months for them to grow back strong and healthy. Any ideas?
