IBD Xtreme Builder Gel 60692 - Pink Nail Builder Gel for Strong & Long Nails (2 oz) - Perfect for DIY Manicures, Nail Extensions & Salon-Quality Nails at Home

Being a DIYer with my nails I was determined to be able to do this. I watched videos and tutorials for weeks. I tried the painting of the french pink and whites. I tried fake tips. I tried it all. I finally settled on this the last time I tried the pink and whites I was amazed at how much it turned out like it was done in a salon. I did the reverse pink and white method. I prepped my nails, used dehydrator, bonder and base coat then put the IBD pink on. This is a thicker gell so you have time to work with it before it runs all over. It is self leveling so that is a bonus. After I put the pink on, I used my efile and cut out the smile line. I know it sounds like a lot of extra work but it is worth it. Then I used the IBD white on the tip. I shaped the nails and buffed the top until the overlapping white gell was level with the pink and the result is absolutely beautiful smile lines. I use all IBD products and have not had any problems lifting. I have had these nails on for about 3 weeks and am so happy not to spend $40 at the salon just for a fill. If you practice and have patience this can work wonders!
