Everything you need to know about builder gel
Builder gel is a single-component, acrylic-free gel that cures under LED/UV light. Acrylics are two-component systems (liquid monomer + powder polymer) that harden through evaporation. Builder gel is gentler on nails, has no strong odor, and is easier to remove without damaging natural nails.
Yes! Our builder gel is specifically formulated with self-leveling properties that make it beginner-friendly. It flows smoothly and evenly, reducing the need for extensive filing. We provide detailed instructions and video tutorials to help beginners achieve professional results.
With proper application, our builder gel provides 28+ days of wear. For overlays on natural nails, you can typically go 3-4 weeks between fills. For full extensions, maintenance fills are recommended every 3 weeks as your natural nails grow out.
Yes! Builder gel is actually recommended for damaged nails. It creates a protective overlay that allows natural nails to grow strong underneath. Our HEMA-free formula is particularly gentle and won't cause further damage or allergic reactions.
We recommend a 48W LED/UV lamp for best results. Thicker builder gel layers require more power to cure properly. Our builder gel is compatible with all major lamp brands and cures in 60 seconds per layer at 48W power.
Builder gel soaks off easily with acetone. File off the top shiny layer, soak cotton pads in acetone, place on nails, wrap with foil, and wait 15-20 minutes. Gently push off the softened gel. Never force or peel off builder gel as this can damage natural nails.
