Here are some of the most common builder gel problems / and how to solve them!
Bumpy or lumpy builder application?
before curing, use the liner brush to smooth the surface of builder gel.
If you’ve already cured and the surface is lumpy, smooth the surface using the buffer. You can also apply more builder gel and cure to fill in the gaps.
Experiencing chips at the tip with your builder gel mani?
Be sure you’re prepping your nails super well before applying builder gel. That means avoiding water for 1 hour prior to your mani and do not wash your hands mid-mani. Water is the enemy of a long-lasting mani.
Gently push back and buff away dead cuticle and gently buff the surface of your nail.
Cap the free edge of your nail to protect against chips.
If you’re experiencing lifting or chipping at the base of your nails or the sides, that is most likely due to not properly cleaning up your builder gel before curing. Make sure you dip the clean up brush in the acetone remover pot and clean all around your nails before curing.
