L Marques Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hello.i am needing a little advise on bio sculpture nail products.Any nail technician out there that can help?I have bought all the stuff online and been doing it for about a year now ,it took a little bit to get it right but I now can do it OK,sometimes it will last 3 weeks if I look after the nails and apply a coat each week of the clear varnish high gloss to protect them.what I would like to know exactly is what you professionals do,step by step.Here is how I do it:buff nail with one of them blocks to take off the natural shine-clean with bio sculpture sanitizer-apply CLEAR GEL and dry for 2min-apply a colour gel and dry for 2min-apply a second coat of the coloured gel and dry again for 2min and then apply again one last coat of the clear gel and this last one I dry for 4min.lastly I clean the nail with bio sculpture sanitizer again to get rid of the stickiness left on.Is this what you professionals do?The only thing i am unsure of is the last coat I am just using clear gel,should I be using something else? Like S Gel or Sealer Gel?Thank you so much in advance for any advice I may get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I don't think we do our nails very often judging by the lack of response to your question. I occasionally have gel nails done for a special occasion but find that my nails break afterwards so I'm not a huge fan. With all the animals, it's as much as I do to keep them clean, let alone painted! Hope you solve your problem though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I always have acrylic nails & I've got animals too! I just wear vinyl gloves whenever I'm doing anything with the chickens or piggies. The rest of the time they are on show & yes I do clean my house & do the washing up! I just really look after my nails & have a brilliant technician. I may live on a smallholding, but it doesn't mean that I neglect myself, I still take pride in my appearance as much as I can. As regards gel nails - I presume you prime, then build up your gel layers & end with a clear coat? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I pay (a lot!) to have mine done and they do last a long time ( 6 weeks?) but then they break once I have it taken off. I do envy people with polished nails, but it's not me, I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
