For strength, structure and support—apply over Base Coat and build up an apex as your nails grow longer.

Features:

Adds strength and structure for enhanced durability and less breakage.
Thick, self-levelling formula cures to a hard, solid finish.
Supports nail growth due to its strong protective layer.
No need to fully remove each time—simply file back to the Builder Gel layer and backfill.

Lamp required

Base & Top Coat required

Prep & dehydrate your nails.
Optionally, apply pH Bond & Nail Primer.
Apply Base Coat & cure under the Gel Nail Lamp.
If not building an apex: Apply 1-3 coats of Builder Gel & cure each coat under the Gel Nail Lamp.
If building an apex: Apply a thin slip layer of Builder Gel and leave uncured. Apply a small bead near the base, push toward the cuticle, then guide side to side to build an apex at the centre. Flash cure each nail for 10 seconds, then cure all nails under the Gel Nail Lamp.
Apply 1-3 coats of Colour Coat & cure each coat under the Gel Nail Lamp.
Apply Top Coat & cure under the Gel Nail Lamp.
Apply Cuticle Oil.

I really enjoy this product. It is easy to use with the perfect not-too-thin and not-too-thick consistency. It allows me to build the structure and apex of the nail to increase stability and lasting power. Highly recommend!

Good builder gel
Good builder gel I probably prefer the tinted and it’s easier to work with but I do think a clear is a staple you need to have have to use this with a basecoat in my opinion to prevent lifting

Wouldn't be without it.
Use almost every single time I do my nails. Hard wearing, long wearing and helps strengthen nails so they don't break. Seriously recommend!
