Apply one layer and let it dry.

Can you put builder gel over acrylic nails. With builder gel you can create the same look hardness and strength as acrylic or SNS nails without damaging the natural nail underneath as much. John Hauk is the owner of Salon Vicenzo in Centerville Ohio and was second runner-up for Nail Technician of the Year in NAILS 2007 AVAs. Acrylic nails are made of a combination of liquid and powder thats laid over your nail with a brush.

If its either yes you can. If you are doing a french manicure you can put the white in over the base and before the builder to eliminate the smile line ridge. If a pre-shaped kit like Apres Gel X is used Seney explains.

Gel nails can be applied right over the nail bed or applied to the nail tip to extend it. Then you can use colour gels or gel varnish colours. It depends what you mean by tips as well as gel nails gel can mean gel polish or builder gels.

You can use gel polish similarly with acrylic. Use a primer or a base coat for your gel nails. You can also have a gel manicure over tips if you want.

Even though it is a gel product note. Use one coat and cure it under a UV lamp. Both hard gel nails and acrylic nails last 2-3 weeks.

Acrylic nails can pose at risk for infection if incorrectly applied this can lead to damage to the natural nail bed. I use the 100 side of the file to do most of the de-bulking and the 180-side I use to smooth out the scratches while still leaving enough abrasion for a gel topcoat to be able to stick to. Gel and shellac are the same BIAB cures hard under an LED light and is more durable than your regular shellac.
