Your rubber base matters more than you may realise!

Incorrect application with higher acidity levels can be putting your clients at risk by chemical burns, thinning nail plates, or developing allergies

I always keep at least 3 different levels in stock so I always have what that client needs 🫶🏻

If you would like to learn more about testing your bases + hard gel strengths- I have created a KNOW YOUR GELS guide with pages of information and real time videos

Comment ✨️ GUIDE to learn how to test your products

Good retention doesn't happen by chance.

It happens because you understand how products work—not because you hope they will

Retention starts with:

✨ Understanding which base is appropriate for each nail type

✨ Proper application techniques

✨ Building correct nail architecture

✨ Recognizing when a product isn't the right choice

✨️ Choosing appropriate gel for the service

A manicure is more than applying gel and making nails look pretty. 💅🏻

Every client has different nails, and using the same products and techniques on everyone is one of the biggest reasons for lifting and retention issues 👀

When you truly understand your gels, you stop guessing 🙅🏼‍♀️

That's exactly why I created my Know Your Gels Guide—to help nail techs understand the different types of gels, when to use them, and how to choose the right products for better retention and stronger, longer-lasting results

If you're tired of guessing which gel to use, this guide will give you the knowledge behind the products so you can work with confidence 🫡

I can't ignore a reconstruction- and neither should you 🫢

Curve nails have a greater chance of breaks due to their natural weak point they already have

These extra steps make this manicure stronger 💪🏻

➡️ Use a thin viscosity gel for the overlay on naturally high apex nails - minimal product to avoid bulky look

➡️ Free edge/product removal is a MUST at every appointment - always restore proper structure

➡️ HARD product to fix free edge - soft gel won't hold - thicker viscosity to keep control of product

➡️ Thicker viscosity hard gel, jelly gel, or acrygel
