What Are Builder Gel Nails?
Builder Gel is a flexible, soak-off gel designed to strengthen natural nails, create a smooth structure, and improve durability while maintaining a natural look. It’s ideal if your nails break easily, peel, or won’t grow evenly.
Unlike acrylic, builder gel feels lighter, looks more natural, and supports long-term nail health when properly maintained.
Perfect for clients who want:
-
Stronger natural nails
-
Added structure and durability
-
A clean, elegant look
-
Growth without bulky extensions
