What Is Builder Gel Nails?
Builder gel is used when you want to create length, thickness or add strength to the nail. It is often used as a base coat before other polishes are applied and can be used to create a false nail. Unlike regular polish, builder gel is applied in thin layers and cured under a UV or LED light between each layer. This curing process helps to harden the gel and bond it to your natural nail, creating a stronger foundation. Builder gel is available in various colors and can be applied by itself or over other nail polishes. It also contains a number of ingredients that help to strengthen the nails and to rebuild the nail structure.
