Here is a quick gel ombré tutorial to help you get started 🫶 I am planning on doing a full series of this and adding it to the classroom, but unfortunately a few things have come up that I need to sort out first. I didn’t want to leave you hanging though, so here is a quick first demonstration. Trust me. Do it. It sounds like a hassle because of all the things you need, I put off doing it for years before I actually tried it for the first time and it changed my life 😂. Ombre’s are a lot faster, and better blended for me now because of this. I will be making more parts, using other tools, making the blend richer, and blending multiple colours 🫶

And that means it's time to look at the leaderboard winner! And it is... @Chloe Payne again 😂. Chloe, thank you so much for being such an active member in the community. It gives me hope that we can actually build and achieve a supportive, collaborative space just for nail techs from all around the world x If you're new here: every month we look at our leaderboards to see who the most active member was. As a reward (and token of appreciation) for contributing the most to our space, we will use your invite link in the bio of our social media accounts, so any of our successful marketing (new members) funnels directly into your bank account 🫶 @Lakisha Antoine CAME IN HOT THOUGH! 🤩❤️‍🔥! Lakisha, thank you so much. You're a new member here, and in just a month you've climbed all the way up to 2nd place on our leaderboards. That's crazy, and honestly I'm just so grateful 🙏 And another new member, @Cat Tortorice wasn't too far behind! Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏 It's a new month, and new chance to connect, learn and earn even more 🥳

Let’s see some animal print nails you’ve done 😍💅

Okay, I just want to preface this by saying I will get better with voiceovers as I do more of them, so please just bare with me 😂 I get focused on the time moving and it distracts me from explaining what I’m trying to explain 🥴 ANYWAY! Here is how I do a builder gel fill on a medium almond nail. Please note that because it’s a fill, and there’s still a layer of builder gel from the previous set, I don’t add “more” gel to the apex near the free-edge area. If you have a question or comment, please drop it in the comments - I’d love to talk about it 🫶

I’ve seen a few ways to ombré with gel polish. @Nicky MacLean , Can you show us the different ways that you ombré using gel polish? Who else wants to see this ?
