GAOY Clear Builder Gel for Nails, 16ml Nail Strengthener in a Bottle, Nail Extension Hard Gel, Soak Off Long Lasting UV Gel, Base Coat Top Coat Needed

Really thick so it seems like it’s hard to use but it self levels. Goes a long way. Two layer leaves a slight pink but I can still see the white of my nail tips. Leaves a nice, smooth layer. My nails are super strong now, almost like I have acrylics.

I’ve been doing my own nails at home for a while now, and this GAOY Clear Builder Gel has quickly become one of my favorite products! The self-leveling formula makes application so easy, even for beginners, and it creates such a smooth, natural-looking finish. My nails feel so much stronger and don’t bend or break nearly as easily anymore. I also love that this builder gel works beautifully for both strengthening natural nails and adding a little extra length. It cures perfectly under my UV lamp and lasts for weeks without lifting when used with a good base coat and top coat. The 16ml bottle is a great size and lasts a long time too. Overall, this is an amazing quality builder gel for the price. Durable, easy to use, long-lasting, and salon-quality results from home. Definitely a 5-star product for me!

I bought this set from this brand because I have bought other sets from GAOY and was pleased. The builder gels comes safely packaged, unopened with no spills. Each gel color is clearly labeled on side of the bottle. I like the assortment of colors even though they are all very nude/pinkish. I liked this "Jelly" type of builder gel for it's sheerness and versatility. The viscosity was medium, not super thick but not thin and runny either. It was easy to apply but I don't know if more than 2 layers would look good on me, probably would get too bulky. I bought builder gel because I saw that you can buff it out and take breaks in between adding your design and topcoat. I was able to put on a base coat with 2 layers of builder gel, buff them and then take a break. This allowed me to get up and stretch out, have a snack and give my back a break without messing up my hard work. I attached a photo with my right hand complete with design and top coat next to my 2 layers of builder gel buffed out on my left hand. I left my hand in buffed builder gel overnight, washed my hands and wiped my nails down with 91% alcohol before applying my design and topcoat with success. Now I no longer have to sit and do my entire hand for 4 hours. I can take breaks or even wait overnight to complete my nails as long as I thoroughly clean them so I don't cure my nails with bacteria on them possibly causing green nails. If you want very natural looking nails, I feel 2 coats of 1800 buffed out with a matte or glossy topcoat would achieve that affect. If you are planning on doing a builder gel overlay there are lots of video tutorials on YouTube which made me comfortable to give it a shot. Builder gel is not totally beginner friendly as there is a process to it and if you don't do it correctly it could look bumpy. This was my first attempt at it and while it wasn't perfect, it turned out a lot better than if I just YOLO'd it. Hope you found this review helpful and have a beautiful day.

Best builder gel I've ever used. Easy to apply and control. Very durable as well and the price is not bad. I'll be buying more in the future.

Excellent!!!
