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.

    Staple !!

    Absolutely obsessed with this product. Perfect colour for everyday wear - nude with the perfect pop of pink. Super strong and durable, I work a blue collar job and my nails don’t break or scratch. As a chronic nail ripper this has been the one thing to finally get me to stop and be able to grow out my natural nails. Will be reordering this on repeat

    Just gorgeous as a base

    I love using pink builder gel solo or as the background for feature nails. Also seamless under other full colour nails as your builder base.

    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.

    Love love love

    This is my favourite builder gel. I mostly wear this as is with a top coat on and it looks gorg! This product is what started me on my nail journey as a nail biter of 15 years.
