For strength, structure and support.

An all-time favourite, Builder Gel is renowned for delivering strength and durability to your manicures. Its thicker, self-levelling formula cures to a hard, protective layer. This added strength and structure brings exceptional durability, helping prevent breakage, support nail growth and long-lasting wear.

Start with a thin coat after applying Base Coat, then build up an apex as your nails grow longer. No need to fully remove each time, simply file down to the Builder Gel layer and backfill for easy maintenance.

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.

    A great product

    I was so nervous about using builder gel but I watched the Gelous YouTube tutorials over and over until I felt confident with trying it. I'm so glad I did. I play piano for a job and my nails get a beating every day on the piano so using the builder gel adds the extra strength my nails need.
