In today’s video we’ll be going over three key factors that drive up the cost of your gels, and whether or not either of these factors is worth the splurge. Nail gels are made up of synthetic resins. These vary in price depending on the type of resin. For instance, nail glue is a type of resin… But here's a cool fact for all of us gel nail technicians. Light-curing resin is the most expensive of resins. (Look at us! We’re fancy 💃) What typically drives up the cost of a gel nail ingredient is the quality and also how much of those quality ingredients your gels are made up of… And! If the manufacturer manufactures that nail gel from raw materials (i.e. from scratch). Like, did you buy that Caesar Dressing at the store, or did you buy all of the different components to make your own at home “from scratch” - makes sense? And personally there are 4 things I look for, which I will break down in a future video. But for now those 4 things are: How much oligomer How much monomer How much solvent And are there any “no-no” chemicals Alright, when you're ready let's continue this conversation in the video. ___ Sign up to my newsletter and be the first to know, everything! ⭐️ https://paolaponcenails.com ___ DISCLAIMER: This description may contain affiliate links where I may receive a commission on qualifying purchases.This allows us to continue to make FREE videos like this.

(I’d charge at least $30 extra; time wise it is relatively quick but you are using a few different mediums).<br /><br />I do recommend some length for this look, so ensure you’re working on medium length structured natural nails or on gel nail extensions. It will make creating this design a breeze.<br /><br />Back to the look of today. It is important that the surface of the nail s you are working on (whether natural or extended) is nice and smooth. You can do that via a structured overlay application or extending the natural nails.<br /><br />And the reason why you want the surface to be super smooth is because if it is, the chrome is just going to accentuate any ripples, and other imperfections.<br /><br />You’ll really enjoy this design, and you can experiment with different colors of liquid chrome!<br /><br />When you’re ready to watch this video, press play!<br /><br />___<br /><br /><br />Sign up to my newsletter and be the first to know, everything!<br />⭐️ https://paolaponcenails.com<br /><br />___<br /><br /><br />DISCLAIMER: This description may contain affiliate links where I may receive a commission on qualifying purchases.This allows us to continue to make FREE videos like this.

It was a rookie mistake but this situation taught me that no matter how much of a veteran you may be… you can never ever forget about those principles you mastered in the beginning. Now of course, I pondered if I should just “sweep this under the rug no one needs to know what happened” kind of thing or if I should use this as a learning lesson to teach you not to panic, and instead think back on what the culprit may have been and how to avoid it. So what did it? Cuticle remover! Ugh-I know, if you’ve been with me for a while you know I’m adamant about dry manicuring, including skipping cuticle remover. However, some cases require the use of it to loosen up thick cuticle. ___ DISCLAIMER: This description may contain affiliate links where I may receive a commission on qualifying purchases.This allows us to continue to make FREE videos like this.
