Blue sky gel nails

5 replies

littleredcaravan · 05/10/2024 18:47

I'm an amateur at doing my own gel nails, bought a uv lamp, top and base coat and a few colours in the blue sky range.

My nails are weak as shit so iv got their builder gel to try aswell.

Can anyone tell me what order I need to apply the base coat and builder gel?

Is it base then builder? Builder then base? Just builder?

It's the builder gel in a bottle that needs curing *

Base then builder.
Your nails won't improve using this stuff though. Have you looked at nail wraps instead?

I'm a nail tech and own a nail training academy, if a base coat is needed, it will need to go underneath the builder. Base, builder, then gel polish (if you're putting one on top). Make sure you cure these for the correct time and are using the correct lamp as you run the risk of causing yourself allergies in the future if they aren't cured properly.

You don't need a base coat with builder gel. Builder, colour if using a separate colour, top coat

Thanks guys

Will try base, builder, colour, top coat

The lamp is fine and I've researched how long to cure for , colour and top coat has been fine for the last few months just need a bit of strength on them x
