Advice on using nsi balance gel over bio sculpture

[Kelly-Tara]

Hi there i am doing my friends mums nails tomorrow, she was having her nails done by a friend of mine who uses bio sculpture, but wants me to do her nails for her tomorrow, she still has a few nails left on, so i txt my friend askin what was the best way to remove them, she just said to buff them down and apply nsi over, just wondered do i still do all prep the same as i would when going over the nails that have bio sculpture on them, or do i do anything different?
Sorry just havent done any clients that have had different gel on before.
Any advice would be great

Yes i agree as bio is a soak of gel i would remove the remining three and start afresh.

ok thanks im just abit worried as havent had to soak nails off before x

you need to soak them off.
the bio sculpture gel is much more flexible than the balance gel so it will cause cracking if you leave the bio on.

bio is pretty easy to soak off. buff over the gel, soak some cotton wool in acetone, place it on the nails and wrap them with foil.

then whilst you are prepping the other nails they will be soaking off.
takes around 15 mins.
