Builder gel application used to take me foreverrr.
In real time 5 minutes. What’s changed? I stopped working one nail at the time. Comments “Workflow” if you done with losing time

This 4 second response: “HOW“ and “WHERE” just lost her a client foreverrr

Client: “it burns”
Tech: keeps drilling

I watched this clips 5x times and my eye still do this

Comment “BURN” if you’ve ever been that tech and want to make sure you never are again

Earlier this year, this was how I apply builder gel sets. I load one dual form with builder gel at the time
Apply it.
Pick up another
Load it .
Apply it.
And repeat the process all over again.
It worked.
But it took me more than an hour to finish a set. Because there are often times when I knock them down or blow them away with my dust collector. I asked myself, what if there’s a better way? Instead of working one nail at the time, I could prepare 10 dual forms at once. That single change had become a game-changer for me. Comment “CADDY” if you’re done losing time

This is in real time! 20 seconds for cut down & removal ⏱️The biggest lesson I’ve learned: use a really good e-bit and run your e-file to close to the max speed ( mine’s 35K - 25K RPM and up works great). Keep steady pressure and move in one direction.

Why beauty school doesn’t teach us these techniques?

I feel you!

The answer is simple:
The beauty industry is constantly evolving and new techniques and products are introduced regularly. As a result, it can be challenging for beauty schools to keep up with all the latest trends and advancements. This is why some techniques or products may not be taught in beauty school. Additionally, the focus of beauty school is often on the basics and foundational safety protocols skills, rather than more advanced or specialized techniques.

Nail-Trimming Mistake 👀❌
Never use an E-file on your nail’s APEX… The bit can get stuck or trigger overload protection. Instead, flip and cut: use nail clippers at the right angle for safe nail-trim.

Why I stopped using sanding band.
While sanding bands might be fine for removing shine on natural nails, they often fall short when it comes thorough removing dead skin on the nail plate. Many of my clients experienced lifting issues with them. That's when I switched to the diamond bits, incredibly powerful bit. They have become my ultimate choice for pre ping my client nails. Since adopting the diamond bit for nail preparation, I’ve seen amazing results and so my clients. Making the with is a game changer for me and it can be for YOU too.

Gel nails vs. acrylic nails: which is better?
Different products solve different problems, so there is no one product that works better than another. Gel is a good choice for nails that are short to medium in length. Acrylic works best on medium- and extra-long Nails.
