What is Gel Builder?
Gel Builder is a thicker gel layered over your natural nails. We shape and level it so the nail looks smooth and even, and you can wear it clear or with color on top.
Overview
It takes about an hour.
What's included
- Nail prep and shaping
- Builder gel applied and leveled
- Cured and buffed smooth
- Clear or color finish
Who it's for
- Natural nails when you want a structured overlay
- Growing out your own nails
- A natural look without extensions
How long it lasts
Builder gel usually holds up for three to four weeks. As your nail grows, it can be refilled instead of taken off.
Maintenance
Come back around the three- to four-week mark.
How it compares
Builder gel is an overlay over the nails you already have. Gel X and acrylic add length with extensions.
FAQs
Does Gel Builder add length?
It works with your own nail length. If you want extra length, Gel X or acrylic is the better choice.
Is builder gel the same as gel polish?
No. Builder gel is thicker and gives the nail structure. Gel polish is a thin color coat.
