How to grow your nails out with builder gel in 8 steps 🫧

Step 1: Gently drill off your old builder gel so your nail is smooth. Don’t touch your natural nails with this bit.

Step 2: Use a sanding band to buff the rest of the nail.

Step 3: Prep your cuticles. Going in forward and reverse motion.

Step 4: File your nails to the shape and length that you want.

Step 5: Apply acetone as a dehydrator.

Step 6: Paint primer over your whole nail.

Step 7: Paint a slip layer of your builder gel over your whole nail and cure.

Step 8: Get a bead of builder gel and apply it to the appex of the nail. Work it back and forth into the slip layer and it will melt evenly. You can turn your finger upside down so the apex forms smoothly. Look at your line of light on the nail as a reference. Cure it and you are done.

Extra tips:

Make sure to not use too much product because it will flood so much easier. Less is more.

If you do cure it and you did flood your cuticles you can always go back in with a nail bit and clean it up. Also you can buff your nail to be even with a nail bit or nail file. This product is very forgiving I love it so much.

Using acetone will ensure the cuticle bed area will be dried out and you’ll be able to apply the product as close to the bed of your nails as possible. When you wash your nails before applying builder gel or any gel it will make your cuticle beds swell up with moisture making it harder to get closer to the nail.

Buffing the nail will help so the product will adhere to the nail.

Painting a slip layer will make it so the bead of builder gel will melt into a layer already applied and you will be able to build the apex and the side walls will already have product.

Adding a bead of builder gel helps build the apex of the nail which will give it the strength it needs to grow healthy and strong.

Thanks I hope that helped. Follow for more nail tips.

If you are seeing this thank you. I appreciate you. 🤍

... Read moreGrowing your natural nails can be both a rewarding and satisfying journey. Builder gel is a popular choice among nail enthusiasts for its versatility and effectiveness in creating strong and elegant nails. The process begins with proper preparation of your nail bed; this includes gently removing any old gel and buffing your nails to promote adhesion. Step 1: Always make sure your nails are clean and dry, and avoid using too much builder gel to prevent flooding your cuticles. Less truly is more! Step 2: Use a high-quality primer before applying the builder gel. This will enhance the bond between your natural nails and the gel. Next, you’ll want to apply a slip layer, which allows for smooth application of the builder gel and enables you to build the apex efficiently. Step 3: When curing your nails, keep an eye on the apex—this part adds strength and keeps your nails looking chic. Remember that practice makes perfect; the more you work with builder gel, the better your technique will become. Additionally, incorporating regular maintenance into your nail care routine is vital. This includes weekly moisturizing and ensuring your nails receive enough nutrition. For those who want longer-lasting results, consider using a nail strengthener post-application. In summary, the key to healthy nail growth lies in the process of careful application and aftercare. Follow these guidelines, and enjoy the benefits of beautiful, natural-looking nails that are bound to turn heads!
