Welcome to "Nailing It, by Julz"
I am a certified Nail Technician, and after learning the many different systems that are out there (Nail Dipping, Acrylic, Polygel, Builder Gel, Hard Gel, Gel-X, Full-Coverage Tip systems, etc), and the pros and cons of each, I decided to put my efforts on becoming skilled as a Structured Gel Specialist, focusing on Builder, Poly and Hard Gels. I strongly believe that becoming highly skilled in one type of application will be far better in the long run than trying to be adequate at several different service types.
The Gel system has become widely popular for multiple reasons. Gel products look more natural, are lightweight, and provide more flexibility and strength on weaker and thin nails. Once the gel product is applied, it is then cured under a UV/LED lamp, resulting in a hardened finish that’s both durable and flexible.
With Gel, I can provide services anywhere from a Gel Polish (that is stronger than traditional nail polishes) to Builder, Poly or Hard Gel Overlays, that range from soft to hard viscosities, depending on the client's wishes (natural nail vs a built enhancement).
NATURAL NAILS:
For someone with strong, healthy natural nails, a Gel Polish Manicure is a great option, to not only add glam, but also add strength.
For those who have thin, weak or brittle nails, or just need help growing them out, a soft to medium viscosity Builder Gel Overlay is a great way to provide the added strength needed.
TINTED BUILDER GELS:
Tinted Builder Gels, not only add that extra strength, but having their own color base, there is no need to add a Gel Polish. Another option would be to add a painted French tip. The classic white tip is always a go to, however, many people also choose a colored tip for added flair.
The four tinted colors I have (shown below): Peach, Baby Cakes, Champagne (glittery) & Sugar Glaze (glittery)
DUAL FORMS (POLY & HARD GELS) - FOR ADDED LENGTH:
These types of enhancements are a great way for someone who is wanting an immediate added length to the natural nail. With Poly or Hard Gel applied, you can achieve anywhere from short to long lengths.
PROCESS: Reusable plastic molds act as a temporary, pre-shaped mold that is filled with gel and pressed onto the natural nail to create a new extension. After the gel cures, the dual form is removed, leaving a shaped and structured nail. *see sample video below
NAIL ART STICKERS & GEMS:
I have books of nail art stickers (too many to show) to add that little extra bling to whatever enhancement you decide. I also have gems for those who like a little more pizazz.
