If I’m not mistaken. A slip layer is a coat of builder gel you put on the whole nail bed or nail bed with tip. You do this step first. Then apply your builder gel bead and the slip layer will help guide it through. I mean you still have to work it down the nail but it helps tremendously to help it flow.

The product I use is Aliver 5 in one builder gel, I think I just need practice I have wider and slightly flatter nail beds than yours. The other down side is it doesn't last long and starts coming up even when I filed, used a primer/dehydrater and base coast.

A builder gel is any gel that you can use to “build” up structure on a nail. A rubber base is a flexible base gel. This is definitely not a rubber base, because it’s a harder material, less flexible, and you can build an apex.
