For strength, structure and support—apply over Base Coat and build up an apex as your nails grow longer.

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.
  1. Prep and dehydrate your nails.
    Optionally, apply pH Bond and Nail Primer.
  2. Apply Base Coat and cure under the Gel Nail Lamp.
  3. If not building an apex: Apply 1-3 coats of Builder Gel and cure each coat under the Gel Nail Lamp.
  4. If building an apex: Apply a thin slip layer of Builder Gel and leave uncured. Apply a small bead near the base, push toward the cuticle, then guide side to side to build an apex at the centre. Flash cure each nail for 10 seconds, then cure all nails under the Gel Nail Lamp.
  5. Apply 1-3 coats of Colour Coat and cure each coat under the Gel Nail Lamp.
  6. Apply Top Coat and cure under the Gel Nail Lamp.
  7. Apply Cuticle Oil.

    Builder gel

    Easy to apply. Brush is nice to use. It's going to take some practice to get it to stay on my nails for longer than a few days though.
