01 What it is
Five layers of glossy strength.
Builder gel is a thicker gel brushed over a base coat and shaped to give your nail a gentle arch. That arch is what makes it strong.

06 Questions
Builder gel, answered.
How long does builder gel last?
Most clients come back for an infill every three to four weeks, as your natural nail grows out. Between visits it stays glossy and strong.
Will it damage my natural nails?
We prep gently by hand, never drill the natural nail, and soak off properly at removal. Never peel or pick it off at home.
Can I have chrome or nail art on top?
Absolutely. Builder gel is the perfect base for chrome, aura, French tips or full hand-painted art. Use the set builder on the home page to price it.
Can I get it on short nails?
Yes. Builder gel is great for short, natural nails that keep breaking. It adds strength without adding length.
