Builder Gel for Nails, Milky White Gel Polish Rubber Base For Nails Strengthener Extension Apex Building Repair UV LED Color Base Nail Polish in Bottle

I ordered this after seeing someone using it on a FB video. It looked very easy to use and was said to be better for your nails than acrylic. I stopped going to the salon about a year ago because they keep raising their prices for the same service that I've been getting for over 30 years. It's up to a ridiculous $55 before tip! Not to mention having to make an appointment then driving there. I loved my nail girl to pieces, been going to her for 10 years, but enough is enough! So with all that being said I have to say that I've finally found what's right for me. I tried the poly-gel in the tube/jar, didn't like it, I've also done my own acrylic but that smell is the worst and takes me hours. This brush on gel is so far the best. As you can see from my pics I've had these on for 13 days only having to fix one and that was because I put that particular nail on too thin. I'm VERY rough on my nails. I garden everyday, been picking weeds for the last 2 weeks and my hands are constantly in water. Either washing my hands or using the garden hose, I always have wet hands. My thumbs have a tip on them from the last time I did my nails with acrylic and they are on so good I didn't want to disturb them. I dremmled them then applied the brush on gel. They're on there soooo good! Today when I replaced my point finger I did use a tip because I ripped my own nail right off trying to take the gel off. Which brings me to the only negative- I couldn't get it off to save my life. I did try soaking it off with acetone, I may not have given it enough time, but it didn't want to come off. I'll work on that with the other 7 when I'm in need of a fill or replacement. I'll try to remember to update. Also, I couldn't believe I picked the color on the first try. This is my favorite nail color (looks exactly like OPI bubble bath!) so I don't need a polish just a top coat. I bought a sparkly top coat and it's perfect for me. There's a learning curve but nothing like learning to apply acrylic. So happy with this product and it's SO INEXPENSIVE!

This is my first time using a rubber base, so I can’t compare to another brand, but I can say as a beginner this was really easy to work with. Actually, my first time using any gel, and I have to say it’s way easier that regular polish. The consistency is thick enough that it doesn’t flood, but is easily coaxed around with the brush, even with my non-dominant hand. No bubbles, easy to move around and avoid streaks even though this color is sheer. No significant odor. I used Milky Pink 2- it’s beautiful, like a bb cream for your nails. Two coats gives you a nice translucent wash of tint that masks imperfections and is pretty enough to wear alone with a top coat. I would say this product probably wouldn’t be the greatest for extensions/enhancements- I used it to cap the tips of my nails and within a few days the bit that was on the underside of my nails had chipped off. I repainted that part with a much thinner layer of this base and topcoat, and that hasn’t budged. However, the rest of the nail still looks perfect two weeks later, even though I work with my hands and wash them all the time. All in all, a great product for a first time user, and a great color for a palate cleanser type of manicure that lasts. I used a dehydrator, primer, and topcoat from another brand, and this product worked perfectly well with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase from this brand again, especially at this price point.

Definitely one of my favorite nail products! I have tried several builder gels/rubber bases, and something that I run into a lot is they can peel easily especially if you have an accident and bump or jab the nails into something. So long as you prep well, this stuff is amazing. I have used this over top gel-x tips and on natural nails and it holds up very well either way you use it. It levels out pretty quick without it running and flooding the cuticles and cures well even with a slightly thicker layer. On natural nails, it stays relatively flexible and offers great protection if you are trying to grow them out. I've bought multiple times and it's never disappointed. Even my sisters ask for this gel specifically when I do their nails.

for background, I have done my nails myself for as long as I can remember, got acrylics a couple times at a chop shop and ruined my nails. I finally got them to grow back out but I just need them to be stronger and healthier so I'm trying builder gel now. pros: (1) milky white is the perfect shade for anyone who wants a white nail but doesn't want them to be in your face white. (2) definitely does its job as biab - relatively self leveling so even if it goes on a tad streaky it will smooth out a bit. (3) easy to clean up mistakes. (4) cures with a tacky layer so the top coat will stick. (5) directions are easy to follow cons: (1) suuuuuper goopy and thick so it will take some getting used to for beginners as far as application goes. (2) milky white, while the perfect shade, does need to be applied evenly to get a uniform look. (3) mine took a little shaping after application and curing just bc some areas ended up curing thicker even after thin brush adjustment. but it's not too hard to fix with a regular file/buffer. tip: make sure you prep your nails properly before applying for better retention. and the two week update everyone has been waiting for!! the second picture is two weeks of growth, you can see it has chipped in some places and (not pictured) two of them came off completely on my other hand, which is probably due to a combination of me using/washing my hands all the time for work and lazy prep work. The third picture is after taking it off. I will say you NEED to be patient when soaking them off (I wasn't on my pinky finger and thats why the top layer of nail is messed up a little). I used pure acetone for my soak off but I will be trying a brush-on remover next time. I do use a cuticle/nail oil every day (the one by bliss kiss is so nice) so that won't affect your retention as long as you prep correctly. I wouldn't recommend doing a fill with the milky colors unless you don't mind seeing where you filled or unless you put color/designs on top of it. Hope all of this helps! :)

I love these. I got natural, and it was a bit too pink for me. But I don't think it was an ugly colorl Honestly it was very pretty, but I would have loved to have a darker skintone friendly pink. If you're looking for something that looks like your natural nails and youre medium deep, this might not be the exact color but it is a wonderful nude. Honestly I'm really happy with the product. I am an absolute beginner, and even worse I have so much shakiness in my nondominant hand. But my application came out good as it could for my first time. I used these with tips to get more length instead of a true builder. It holds, definitely, but there can be some subtle lifting here or there. These are nondamaging, cause one popped off and then i peeled the rest and not a single scratch on a nail. It took the tip with it too, which shows that it's clingy. Maybe I need to buff more to get more use from it or a better stick overall. Be forewarned: I am terrified of getting contact dermatitis. so I was super cautious with this. Don't use your finger, use a nail brush dipped in acetone or rubbing alcohol. For the love of god, do NOT use your bare fingers. This product had the burning sensation under my beetles lamp even though i was sure that i didnt get anything on that nail (aformention contact dermatitis fear). I think this product is promising, especially as an entry level rubber base!

This was my first time doing my nails with a rubber base builder gel. Heres my take Pro: - color quality - thick consistency (if that’s your preference) Con: - Burns more than another brand I tried when using UV - Thick consistency ( was not my preference) - very tacky, which makes it harder to self level This brand is a good starter bc in my opinion it’s harder to use which will force you to perfect your form. If you’re looking for good quality rubber base I would recommend modelones.

First time trying a rubber base gel after investing a bunch of money on regular hard gel and builders. I work a lot with my hands and I recently started growing my nails out and no matter how well I prepped my weak nails, the regular builders (even gel polishes) just PEEL CLEAN OFF after a day or two. This rubber base has been on for 4 days and feels like it’s not going anywhere. No peeling, it looks good and has a bit of flex to it which is what my nails needed and explains why hard gels didn’t last. AND it levels like a dream. Im a beginner at this and it looks like I paid for this service lol.

I got the milky pink color, it is a good pinky/nude. This picture is of just the builder gel with a clear coat on top. Builder gel is thick and doesn’t move too quickly which I find is easier to manipulate to get everything perfect before curing. My nails last at least 3 weeks before I redo them. I’m only giving 4 stars because I don’t love the bottle. The neck is very tight considering how thick the product is. It’s hard to get the brush in and out without fraying it or making a mess. This also makes it difficult to wipe the brush on the sides to remove excess product then scoop the product out into a bead on the brush. Overall, I love how my nails look and how much money I’m saving doing them myself.

Déçue.. Pas facile d'étaler sur les ongles

Perfect!!! Easy to apply. Was worried it looked little orange in the bottle BUT it came out exactly as I imagined. 💯 💯 recommend

This builder in a bottle rubber base coat is amazing, the quality is top notch and the colour is so so cute. I use it all the time. It’s so easy to use and doesn’t peel if you prep your nails properly. It’s perfect for strengthening your nails and also adding the cute touch of colour when you don’t feel like painting them after adding this rubber base coat.

Buen producto y satisfecho con la compra. Agradecido.

Tbh I don’t know if it’s bad quality or I didn’t know how to use it , it looks good on the nails but it peels off !
