Gelish over enhancements

[Jadie-23]

Soooo I'm actually embarrassed :o to be asking this but.......I'm a natural nail tech and 10 days before I go to Marbs for my birthday.....I've split a nail!!!! Grrrrrr :-( :'(

So looks like I'm gonna have to put my trust in another tech and have a set of l&p or Gel

My question is after they have done my sat can I then do my own Gelish on top??? (Please don't laugh!! No experience in these matters)

Yes you can. You don't need ph bond or foundation on that nail though, just buff slightly, cleanse and then go straight to your colour stage x

Ahh thanks hun. I will probably end up have a full set rather than an overlay on that nail

I would have asked my educator but I've mithered her to death this month!! :-D xxx

If you can and try and find a tech that uses CND Brisa Lite sculpting as this product is perfect for a broken single nail. Failing that you could have an acrylic or gel overlay to the broken nail then I don't see why you shouldn't be able to put your gelish on top.
I only use CND Shellac and would apply it after the enhancements have been filed out as then no base coat is required as the shellac adheres to the grit surface. Sorry I can't comment on how the gelish would be applied. I'm sure someone will be able to advise.

Good luck and enjoy your hols x

Thanks hun!!

If I'm gonna have to do anything to them I might as well go for something fancy like almond or stiletto!!!! Will try and find a tech that uses a soak off product to minimise damage! Eeek nervous! xxx

Brisa lite sculpting is fully soak able to remove enhancements too. Absolutely no filing of the natural nail either! Win win. X

Why don't you repair the split yourself with fibre glass strips and structure gel! It works brilliantly and allows your nail to grow out x

Hey Hun, yes you can have Gelish on top of enhancements. Once you have filed and shaped the enhancement and wiped the dust clean, you can go straight on to applying colour without the base coat but still use the TIO. Mine are Gelish Hard Gel with Gelish on and they last ages
However, if you just want to repair the nail, structure gel under the colour would hold it until it grows out x
HTH



💕💅 Keep calm and make 'em Gelish 💅💕

Hi -I am new to the site-Ive been doing gelish for 1 year now - and use a nail tip on myself with structure gel over that. It holds for me because Im careful only. I would like to use tips on clients.... and have them hold. Some clients want long tips. What gelish products do you use for this? Could you include your steps? Gelish structure just isnt enough to hold them. I love gelish...just need more strength. I use LED light also. Thank you in advance for any help.
I am posting this for perfecttennails. Sorry.
