Introduction to Nail Plump Gels
Tammy Taylor introduces herself and her three nail plump strengthening base and builder gels available in a bottle. The original nail plump has been popular for years, and she has now created two more options to cater to different nail types.
Preparing and Shaping Natural Nails
Tammy discusses the importance of sanitizing hands and removing polish with her conditioning polish remover to create a clean surface. She demonstrates how to prep and shape nails using a 180 grit zebra file to lightly remove the shine and push back cuticles, enhancing the adhesion of the nail plump.
Applying the Strengthening Gel Manicure
The application of the thin coat of light nail plump begins, focusing on technique. She notes the importance of dragging the brush towards her, placing the gel strategically away from the cuticle. The first layer is cured under a 36-watt lamp. This gel is a thinner viscosity designed for structured gel manicures.
Adding Color and Top Coat
Tammy demonstrates applying pink swan gel polish in long strokes, ensuring full coverage. After curing each layer, she proceeds to apply a high gloss top coat with similar application techniques, capping the tip to ensure a smooth finish.
Applying Conditioning Cuticle Oil
After completing the strengthening gel manicure, she emphasizes the importance of conditioning cuticle oil for maintaining soft cuticles and healthy nail growth.
Creating a Structure Gel Manicure
Tammy outlines the process for a structure gel manicure, starting with prepping the nails similarly to the previous steps. She details the application of her original strong nail plump, emphasizing the thicker viscosity for nail extensions, followed by shaping and filing for a polished finish.
Performing a Nail Form Extension
Tammy explains the steps involved in doing a nail form extension, including shape preparation, applying the nail plump to create the nail extension over the form, and curing under light. She ensures a smooth application to avoid lifting.
Completing a Nail Tip Extension
She describes how to apply a clear nail tip, blending it with the natural nail and applying the strong nail plump with careful strokes. After curing, she files and shapes the nail to create a square tip, followed by a layer of light nail plump.
Full Cover Gel Extension Technique
Tammy showcases the procedure for applying full cover gel extensions. Starting with shine removal from the natural nail, a bonded non-acid primer is introduced for extra adhesion. The extra strong nail plump is applied to both the nail and the full cover tip before curing. She guides viewers through filing and finishing the nails for a smooth, polished look.
Conclusion and Encouragement to Try Products
Tammy concludes by encouraging viewers to try all three nail plump strengthening base and builder gels in a bottle, expressing her hope that they will love the products.
