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.

    Pale-Skin Friendly & Understated

    I picked Milky Pink Builder Gel for my second manicure attempt. I was a bit worried this shade wouldn’t suit me, as I’m pale skinned and tend to gravitate toward lighter, cooler-toned polishes. I usually prefer pinks with a slight purple lean (think Gelous Birthday Cake rather than Gelous Bubblegum), and this colour absolutely delivered. I love it. It’s less transparent than Gelous Dreamy, giving it a milky, understated finish.
