IBD Nail Products For Doing Your Nails at Home


Here are the IBD nail products I purchased off Ebay. I meant to order the 'Soak-Off Clear Builder Gel' but the shipper sent me the 'Soak-Off Clear Gel'. They are different in consistency so I ordered the builder gel as well and I'm still waiting for it to come in.

The products I purchased is the IBD bonder/primer, IBD soak-off remover, IBD Intense seal, IBD soak-off clear gel, and also an IBD #6 flat brush that is not in this picture. You will also need a curing lamp.

Currently I'm on Day 4 of my IBD nails and I've lost a tip because I was using KISS glue, which is just not as strong as other glues. Unlike Acrylic, gel will NOT keep your nail tip from coming off so it is definitely worth it to go to a beauty store and purchase 'salon grade' glue.

Some other things that will come in handy in the future would be a metal cuticle pusher, electric nail file, a block buffer, a nail tip cutter, and a 100/180 grit nail file which is good for filing down artificial nails.

IBD Gel Soak-Off Nails...Follow Along

Through the next week or weeks I will post everyday on how my IBD nails are doing. After watching a tutorial on Youtube that used IBD soak-off gel I decided to give this a go. I discovered you can purchase salon brand nail products from Sally's Beauty Supply or other beauty supply stores or one of my favorite places to purchase things - Ebay.

After doing some research on the IBD nail products, I went on Ebay and bought IBD soak-off clear gel, IBD gel remover, IBD bonder/primer, IBD intense seal, and and IBD nail brush. This all costed me around $40...so not too bad. And all of this will last awhile so in the end its actually very cheap.

I will talk more about this tomorrow, along with LED vs UV light which is another experiment I'm throwing into the mix.

I'll start posting pictures so you can see my process as well. Currently I'm on Day 2 of IBD nails and so far so good... :)

Talk to you all tomorrow!
