So what is Japanese gel? The key factors boil down to just 5. #1 Gel that is made in Japan #2 Gel that retains the traditional method of application from pots #3 Gel that is primarily soak-off #4 Gel that is solvent-free #5 Gel formulated to ease various art form styles In a general most basic sense, that is what Japanese gel is. At least the three brands that you often hear me or see me use, Kokoist, Leafgel, and Vetro, which are the ones I am certified in. So, let’s talk about these 5 key factors, and get into the nitty gritty of what Japanese Gel is.

Striping tape. I can’t even believe striping tape has fallen out of trend! It is the one of the easiest ways to add a fun and edgy flare to any set. Not only that it is easy to sell, and it is an even easier way to make quick extra income during a service. The reason why striping tape is such an easy sell is because it adds only a delicate touch to the nails. So many clients are afraid of nail art because they are afraid of it being too “flashy”. That will not be the case with striping tape. Trust me. Clients will not stop staring at their nails and receiving compliments on their nails. So just give it a go and reap all of its rewards. And today, we are taking it up a notch (don’t worry, nothing that will scare your client away from trying & trusting you with their striping tape nail art. We’ll be taking our striping tape, and making it quite literally an edgy addition to our Fall manicure.

When we’re filing, It’s like we have one that looks perfectly round, and another that’s a different kind of round but it still looks round?? And then before we know it, we start getting a little bit in sync, and when we’re done somehow 8 out of the 10 nails are still doing their own shape of round. So I thought it would be super helpful to create a tutorial on how to shape short nails round, easily.

But even as I would sit there designing and putting the business process of things together. I didn’t feel it in me, I didn’t visualize success in it. And I think the main reason for me is because I don’t consider myself to be an artist first. Nail art doesn’t come easy to me. So I couldn’t create or design fast enough to start selling in droves. Yet, as I mentioned already there are six figure press-on business owners doing their thing. Maybe you feel in the same predicament as I was. Like, Should I start a press-on business or not? That is why in today’s video I’m going to share with you based on what I’ve seen out there, who should start a press ons business. In this video you will learn not only who should start a press-ons business, but who shouldn’t start a press-ons business.

If you choose to simply go with the brand that is the most popular, then you may end up with more service breakdowns then you’d want to repair. Choosing the right structure gel starts by narrowing down what products and services you want to offer. Here’s how I recommend about going through your selection process: Choose whether you’ll be doing your structures with a hard gel or soft gel system Decide two, maybe 3 brands that you ideally want to master your structured overlays with Consider the length of the nails you are working on. Once you’ve gotten clear in these three areas, you’re ready to proceed and make a decision on what structure gel is the right choice for you to use your natural nail overlays.
