Reddit mentions of Gelish Soak Off Ph Bond Soak Off Nail Prep, 0.5 Oz

I'm not a nail tech, but here is what I have:


This is a good kit that comes with everything you'll need. I started with this one but I recommend getting a different light.


So you could create a kit yourself..

I bought this lamp after realizing the one that came in the kit wasn't powerful and only fit 4 fingers at a time.

I use gelish top and foundation coat and PH bond


To remove it at home, I file off the top coat and wrap my finger tips in aluminum foil with an acetone soaked cotton ball. I sit with my hands in a heating pad for at least 5 minutes, and then gently remove. Don't scrape/peel off the polish it will cause a lot of damage.


I hope this helps some!

Went back to work yesterday after a week off. (Injured foot) It went well and I finished on time. I hope this new route continues to be this easy.

My nail polish is still on! Today is the 5th day and that never happens to me. Especially since I wear latex gloves at work. The nail dehydrator and sticky base coat are working!

Edit to add in links I put the dehydrator on first, then do sticky base coat

I've been looking into eyelash lifting--i have dark brown hair and would LOVE a curl. The kits on amazon scare meeee. IM DYING to learn microdermabrasion--but i'm so scared I'll do damage! How often do you do them, now that cost isn't a problem?

For manis, I use this lamp! (this isn't an ad and i am being 100% honest hahah. it works well and I like it, but you could probably find one of similar quality for 30. Def get LED, not UV). I use OPI gels from ebay and a dehydrator like this.

So, I’m a ceramic artist, and my hands are in water a lot of the time - and this process usually helps my nails last up to a week :)

First, I don’t apply any lotion or nail oil until after I’ve done my nails. Then, I use an alcohol prep pad (you can get them at the drug store) and wipe each nail.

Then, I apply pH Bond to each nail - it helps dry them so the polish can stick. I use gelish ph bond .

Then for base and top coat I use gel Len base and top coat.

Let me know if those help!

Sure thing!

• LED light. You can get cheaper florescent style lights. I went with the LED version because it's quicker. I'm a red head and try and avoid excessive UV. I even put sunscreen on my hands before doing my nails.
  
  
• I like the Aimeile Top/Base costs and colors. They're super cheap and last. I especially like their color changing polishes.
  
  
• You might also want to gets some nail clamps for removal so you're not wrapping your fingers in aluminum foil.
  
  
• And maybe invest in some ph Bond. This helps dry out the nail bed and helps the nails last longer.
