Silk repairs with Brisa Lite?

[Myden]

I currently do my silk repairs with Bio Sculpture gel but I am fazing this out of my treatment list and was wondering if I would do the same procedure with Brisa Lite Sculpting or Smoothing gel.
The only problem is after base coat of Clear Bio gel is cured I swipe with scrub fresh because silk adheres better to dry surface I would not be able to do this with BL base coat as it would come off.

How would you repair a split nail? Is fibreglass better?

Do your silk repair then base coat, brisalite,/shellac etc.

I currently use fibreglass but same procedure for silk.
Cuticle work
Scrub fresh
Place self adhesive silk/fibreglass on nail
Brisa Lite base coat-cure 10 secs
Brisa Lite smoothing gel-cure 2 mins
Shellac×2 coats- cure 2 mins each coat
Shellac topcoat- cure 2 mins
Wipe with IPA
File nails with the silk/fibreglass to smooth free edges off from fibre glass
Wipe with IPA
Re top coat fibreglass/silk nails- cure 2 mins
Wipe IPA
Solar oil
Hope this helps

I see you would place silk/fibreglass directly on nail plate then base coat and continue .........THANKS !

Yes, see if you can find the fingernailfixers video on youtube. She demonstrates it perfectly. Search 'fibreglass repair in Shellac'. Good luck

Just watched it.......brill!
It is different from Bio, with Bio you apply clear as base and swipe then lay a small piece of silk to cover split, dampen with clear, cure, then build with S gel to build and hide silk edges. But of course you then have to buff and finish as normal. This does make the nail a bit thicker than all the rest.
Thank you so much for your help!

I repair with silk using Brisa lite. I do BL basecoat, cure, BL smoothing gel and place silk into the wet gel then cure, wipe with D-sperse and buff smooth as needed then proceed with shellac colour as normal. Lasts fine and is quick and easy to do.
