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.

    So strong!

    Such a good builder gel, my manicures have never lasted longer or been as strong! My natural nails are finally able to grow long without breaking off. Make sure to watch a tutorial on how to use this product, it can be tricky to get the hang of.

    This has made a significant difference to the longevity of my manicures

    The polish lasts longer, my nails are significantly stronger with it on, and the ability to use the e-file to remove polish is a game-changer. I love that there is a clear option so that the builder gel doesn't impact the colour of sheer polishes when applied over the top. Before using the builder gel, my polish would show cracking and some peeling after a week. Now I can go the full 2 weeks without any cracking or peeling, and my nails are the longest they've ever been!

    An Essential To Your Nail Care Routine!

    I bought builder gel once I kept having breakage in my nails and they were happening half way up my nail but I have been using builder gel and have noticed an incredible difference in my nails and my nails have grown longer and are stronger as well.
