Gelish Brush-On Builder - Professional Soak-Off Gel Polish for Extensions, Overlays, Nail Art, Self-Leveling, HEMA-Free, TPO-Free, Vegan, Long-Lasting, UV/LED Cured (Ivory Nude)

Highly Recommend! I really like this builder base, when used in combination with the other gelish nail products (pH nail bond, foundation and top it off) it lasted a solid two plus weeks. I'm not gentle with my nails either! I used a UV light I bought off of here. I found I needed to increase the cure time. Self levels pretty well, so you've gotta work for your apex. I was able to use this over a tip and it felt sturdy and well secure (short length while growing out natural nail). Good adhesion to the nail, no lifting. Shiny professional finish and long lasting. I've had much better luck with the gelish products in general compared to beetles, modelones or the FZANEST builder gels (and colors) in my humble amateur/hobbyist experience. I would recommend to a friend, don't bother saving a few dollars for the cheaper brands. The pink sands color is not fully opaque, I'm planning to use it as a base for a French tip look. It's not too pink either, the color isn't super saturated so it will show some of the natural color of your nail underneath. So far, I've layered a color over the top and it came out nice.

Muy bien

Updated to remove another star: 3 days later and my builder gel is already lifting and chipping on multiple nails. This has not happened with any of the 3 other brands I’ve tried, which have all lasted a full 3 weeks without lifting or chipping. I would have kept this product if it was long lasting despite the other issues, but given that it doesn’t even last on properly prepped nails, it’s time for a return. I have successfully used a few other brands of builder gel, but this one was so thick and sticky that it was very hard to work with. It is “brush on” but it was so sticky that it was hard to get excess product off of the brush before applying on the nail, then when on the nail it was difficult to spread, and slow to level out. Additionally, like another review said, no matter how many times you cure it, it remains not just tacky, but sticky. This can be solved by adding a top coat, or with other products I’ve used, a quick swipe of acetone/rubbing alcohol to remove the tackiness after curing. This was so sticky even after double curing that a hair got stuck on the nail and wouldn’t come off. So then I did a quick swipe of acetone which would normally remove the hair and the tackiness, but that visibly took the shine off the gel completely and looked like it started removing product even though I only did a quick swipe (a fully cured gel should not be affected by a quick wipe of acetone aside from removing tackiness). This is the first product from Gelish I’ve bought, so I’m not sure if this brand is normally like this, but I won’t be repurchasing and I probably won’t use this builder gel again. Others I have used are easier to work with for half the price, and I haven’t had any issues with chipping or lifting with those ones.

Good quality still haven’t mastered it yet though

I like this gel builder. Makes your nails last longer. I get about 10 days out of a manicure with this.

I might need a new LED light but not having great luck with this polish. Drys after top coat finish with LED light but still tacky before that step. How come? And runs into cuticle too much compared to regular polish. I’ll keep trying to get it right!

I am so glad I purchased this when it first came out. I already want a backup bottle, as this shade is the most popular; it's sold out everywhere! If you have never used a gel builder polish before, definitely watch a few online tutorials first, as there is a bit of a learning curve since it's not super thin like regular gel polish. The advantage is that it lasts 2-3 weeks, looks so shiny and pretty for weeks. This is a pale pinky white shade. And if you apply it the way they do in their videos, it doesn't streak. That's an important tip for those of us who use clear Gel-X tips.

Amazing, will buy another one. I use it mainly to strengthen my natural nails and especially the edges. By preventing breaking my own nails are already so long! I do use it with a base and top coat from the same brand and am really pleased with the results.

Parfait ce gel de construction !

This polish is Amazing 🙏🏽🥰

This gel polish works excellent. Lasted 4 weeks. Didn’t chip or flake off. I do my own gel polish at home and this lasted for my whole vacation. Impressive.
