Welcome to "Nailing It, by Julz"
I am in the final stages of becoming certified as a Nail Technician, and after learning the many different systems that are out there (e.g. Nail Dipping, Acrylic, Polygel, Builder Gel, Hard Gel, 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 Soft Builder Gel and Polygel. 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 Soft Builder 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, whether it be a Gel Polish or a Builder Gel Overlay, it is then cured under a UV/LED lamp, resulting in a hardened finish that’s both durable and flexible.
With Builder Gel, I can provide services anywhere from a Gel Polish (that is stronger than traditional nail polishes) to Soft Builder 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: Peach, Baby Cakes, Champagne (glittery) & Sugar Glaze (glittery)
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.
At "Nailing It, by Julz", I am dedicated to providing a top-notch nail service. Step into my salon and experience luxury and relaxation like never before.

NAIL TIPS & DUAL FORMS: These types of enhancements are a great way for someone who is wanting an immediate added length to the natural nail. With Builder Gel or Polygel applied, you can achieve anywhere from shorter to longer lengths.
-Nail tips: applied to the tip of a shortened natural nail; the proper viscosity Builder Gel or Polygel is then applied to give the needed structure and strength for the chosen tip length (short-medium-long).
-Dual forms: reusable plastic molds that 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
