Yes there are 3 forms of prepping the nail. Here are what they are… Prep is short for preparation, and just like painting a car, a wall… anything, you cannot just dab paint on it … well I guess you can, but not if you want that long wear, right? So, much in the same way prep is absolutely essential before putting anything on the nails. Now if we can go back a bit in time, and this is even before I got into nails myself. Prep was done a bit harsher than it is now. Especially for hard nail products like acrylic nails and some hard gels. The nails needed to be significantly dehydrated, primed and roughened in order for these nail products to have superior adhesion to the natural nail. Thankfully, over the years, nail primers have gotten milder, and products have become less acidic. And of course a big thank you to all the nail companies who have cared enough to alter their products so that they are less corrosive or irritating to both techs and clients. Now better products, thankfully have also aided in better adhesion without the need to alter the natural and healthy composition of the nail itself, regardless of the system you are using, acrylic, hard gel, or soft gel. I have specifically dedicated myself to work with soft potted gel formulas for their much more delicate process of adhering to the nail. And in today’s Episode #5 of this Japanese Gel Nail Fundamentals series we will be identifying the 2 forms of prep needed for the best adhesion to the natural nail… DISCLAIMER: This description may contain affiliate links, that provide minimal financial support to the channel.

If this sounds like the perfect place for you to grow, be inspired, and inspire others ... please join us inside the GBN! Curing units, is there a universal curing unit? one that cures all gels? Should you buy a curing unit for every brand you own? So this topic of curing units is slightly controversial. The experts say Yes, you need to use the lamp that is sold by the brand of products you use. The nail tech on the other hand is like well I use a number of brands, and the DIYER says I use a ton of different brands and I also don’t want to spend over $50 on one… So what do you do? First and foremost... please, please, please narrow the amount of brands you use. YOU HAVE TO. This will not only save you money but also headaches trying to troubleshoot what went wrong in your application with all the different variables of mixing brands.

🔺Free Training: 3 Secrets to Master Gel Nails https://paolaponcenails.com/masterclass 🔺Professional Manicure Implements (Nail Nipper) https://paolaponcenails.com/nashlynails Shaping natural nails in the 5 most popular salon shapes… and what are those shapes? Well for me in the salon they were… Squoval, Round, Oval, Almond, and Coffin! Now when shaping natural nails, you’ll want to make sure that you use nothing coarser than a 180 grit board file. As much as possible use an emery board or a ~200 grit nail file. Using gentle grit files will keep the natural nails from splitting. Not only do splitting nails become weak but also cause your nail polish or gel to chip. 🔺 The Gel Boss Network (FB Group) https://paolaponcenails.com/gelboss The Gel Boss Network Group is into the latest and greatest in quality soft gel systems like Japanese & Korean gel nail brands.
