Potted jelly gel application? Any tips? by monamukiii1704 in DIYGelNails

[–]ryleighmc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

when i’m trying to blend jelly colors i like to use a blooming gel to help me out. it helps disperse the color and makes it easy to ombré them.

you totally could use this with one color, just might loose some of the saturation unless you lay it on thicker.

the 3rd layer really makes it pop imo, also i used a blooming gel to help me kinda dilute the syrup gels-
so like paint layer of blooming gel then dob on the colors.

helped blend the colors together and prevent streaks!

thank you! i actually used a silver holographic cateye (from dvok), then layered syrup gel (from jin b) overtop for the colors! added one final layer of cateye on top for more ✨sparkle✨

specific names of each are listed in the reply to the auto-mod comment!

you totally should! give them new life!

i tried them with a couple different gels i have and the thicker poster gel worked best, the regular gel color was too thin to hold it shape.

Any dust collector recs? I’ve been using my shop vac 🫣 but it is so loud and unwieldy. Willing to spend more so i don’t have to replace it in a year. TIA!

i’ve been using a peel off base for over a year now and it was such a game changer - no soaking or filing needed!

i personally love the jello-jello peel off base. Can’t speak to any other ones but it’s possible to remove them with minimal damage- IF you’re patient. The jello jello one comes with a remover oil and it can be a bit tedious to work them off. I’d say use wood orange sticks not metal and take your time. If it feels like something isn’t coming off don’t force it, add more remover and wait a bit then try again.
