are these false nails anything like dual form nails? that covers the nail plate from cuticle to free edge? how is acrylic/gel applied?

These are not dual forms. They're just regular artificial nails that are glued on.

I'm no expert but I believe that because Gelish has their original gel set they decided to name this the hard gel line which is in fact harder than the original line. So for people who believe that they are tough on their nails this is the perfect solution. Builder gel on the other hand is gel that you can use to sculpt your nails with which can be used the same way acrylic is used for false nails or on your natural nails. Builder gel as the name suggests can be used to 'build on' it is thicker than regular gel and does not run into your side walls as quick giving you the chance to add quite a bit if you desire while molding and forming it to the shape needed. Hope this helps :)

No its not builder gel, this is more for natural nail overlays, or used as top coat for acrylics nails. Builder gel is more for acrylic overlays, or used with forms to sculpt the gel.

Yes it's made for acrylic and gel nails. You wouldn't need this for your regular nails, too rough.

Honestly, since I purchased this one, I have decided to go back to using cutex brand it works just fine. My nails are not being damaged either. I just use a piece of cotton ball with some polish remover and wrap my nails I alumminum foil for approximately 10 mins or so for gel polish. I hope this helps.

Hi Jason,Do not use nails. We used a clear silicone adhesive that is used by those who have RVs. The brand is DAP all-purpose adhesive 100 percent silicone in a clear color. Hope this helps.

Its like regular gel...just cured under an led lamp for 30 seconds...the best gel ever made!!!!! You can use it over your natural nail or use it on extended nail tips....best use with the gel builder and you need to use pro bond as your primer

Well, I was hoping for a request; no to all your questions. very fast dryinf, but my weak, long nails are still peeling despite my wearing gloves and using two coats. I even do a layer of it, brushed sideways and my nails are still peeling. I am NOT happy with this product. Gel formulas are not good.

I was confused by this too, but it just means that these Gel base and top coats need to be soaked off. Use a cotton ball with pure acetone then wrap with a square of tin foil and let it sit for at least 10 minutes. That is how I was taught. I do know that they do make kits like "BMC UV Gel Nail Art Polish Acrylic Aluminum Nail Wrap Soaking Pad Remover Kit" but it is less expensive to just use acetone and tin foil. Do a search for the kit here on Amazon.

Yes, it is the same gell used over acrylics...this will NOT fill in the nail bed tho...Use this like regular nail polish, but you HAVE to dry it with a UV light

Yes and no! I tried it on a nail form before and i extended like a stiletto it looked good,but it was not durable or stong,it bended and then it cracked so disappointed, so then i tried foarmin a medium like not to short and not to long, and i was happy it was strong and durable so yes, my way alone.lol. u can use it with a nail form,but not to long.ok. and cure it .i do 3 coats to really. Hold up well, so experience in one nail,if u like it,then do them all,just have fun and lots of patients.thats it.

not sure what u wanted but I got nail art plates from 2 places, 1 from walmart and a bunch online at bundlemonster.com, no special name. the best polish, if you can believe it, was from 5below and cvs. at 5below I got "art club nail art lacquer" for 3 for $5. works great; from cvs I got "wet and wild's Wild shine" colors black, purple and pink. I was told to get some polish with "chromeiness" not sure what that was but I went with a opal type of sheen to polish. You do have to be fairly quick. polish nails and LET DRY!!!! Then decorate. set your self up with everything u need and cover surface!! it will get messy. once u put polish on plate get moving, scrape w/ a little force, roll over to ink stamp and roll on nail. After three or four tries you will get it. btw some mistakes look better than perfect nails. Mom loved her single flower oops better than the perfect arch on her thumb. Then top coat, top coat, top coat. not that u need 3 coats but must not forget it. Mine lasted 8 days when I kept renewing top coat every 2 days. Oh last tip DO NOT use any polish w/ glitter for stamp. It wont work. save that for base color if u want.

I'm sorry I don't know if it is for powder gel nails. Works great with acrylics.

Um im not sure. But DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS! Omg please dont!!! Noooooooooooooo RIPOFF! I wish someone had told me it didnt work before i bought. It just slides around on your nail. And. It drys in the plate in like 2 seconds because its such a thin layer. And that thing to scratch it off with doesnt works. My advice is just buy nail stickers, i love them.

This is a thick, self leveling gel that can be used to build a nail tip or a hard nail like shell over a thin or split natural nail. It is not a polish or top coat. It is totally clear and requires a polish in some color to match your nails. So, it can be used with any of your nail colors, but will completely seal, cover and prevent your natural nail from getting any benefits offered by a strengthener or conditioner.

the great thing is all plates will work and in fact the best white and black are the ones from the Sinful brand which cost 1.99 their white and black are opaque and work great!!!!! I used the plates from another manufacturer aka MASH and they are cheaper and work fine! If you find it doesn't work go to my nail tutorial and youtube and watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5tlnXZ2t3c
