Thinking it’s time to up your nail game from dull to divine? These inspiring stories from real Gelous customers show how small, consistent changes can lead to big, beautiful results.

Builder Gel has earned its reputation for a reason. It’s the holy grail of gel nails: strengthening, supporting, and protecting your nails while still looking natural.

From soft, barely-there neutrals to playful pinks and crisp classics, read on to find your next mani rotation staple.
