Our original Builder Gel In A Bottle formula contains HEMA which is now a professional-use-only use product. Our NEW Hema-Free Builder Gel is safe for home use and can be used for beginners and professionals alike without compromising on safety.

Our NEW Gentle Gels™ Builder must be used with Perfect Prep™ Primer for best long-lasting results.

• Start by prepping your nail plate as usual by pushing back the cuticles and etching the nail plate slightly with 240 grit file, then apply a layer of Perfect Prep™ and wait 30 seconds to dry.
• Then follow with a thin layer of builder gel to act as your slip layer. Do not cure this step.
• Then take a slightly larger bead of builder gel and place it towards the cuticle without touching the skin. Gently drag the builder gel down with a side-to-side motion. Flip your finger upside down to let gravity help you in self-levelling the gel. Cure in the 54W UV/LED Lamp for 60 seconds.
• Finish with our Hema-Free No-Wipe Top Coat and cure for further 60-90 seconds. Your builder gel mani is now complete!

You should always cure 14 Day Mani Hema-Free Builder Gel for at least 60 seconds in our 54W LED/UV Lamp - if using thicker layers cure for longer 90 seconds as needed.

Removal process for Builder Gel is the same as our Gel Polish. Simply buff the shiny top layer of your nail and apply Acetone Remover to your foil nail wraps. Apply the foil nail wraps onto your nail. After 10-15 minutes use a Cuticle Pusher or Gel Removal Tool to gently scrape off the lifted gel off your nails. This should be fairly effortless - if it is not, popped the nail foils back onto your nails for further soaking.

Our Builder Gel is expertly formulated to last up to 3 weeks chip-free. For the longest lasting results please always follow our directions of use.

1. Ensure that there are no oils on the nails before you start as this could reduce the lasting time of the polish.

2. Wash hands with liquid soap and warm water, drying well.

3. Do your cuticle work with the Steel Cuticle Pusher provided. Cuticle work is crucial before you start.

4. Use the 7 way buffer provided, use step 3 to buff the nails and rough edges, removing any shine.

5. To ensure your nails are free from dust from buffing/filing, apply a layer of Perfect Prep™ Gel Polish Primer and allow it to dry for 30 seconds. On more oily nails apply twice.

Absolutely! Our Hema-Free Builder Gel works perfectly as a base to strengthen your natural nail and allow for Gel Polish colour application on top. Follow our Hema-Free Builder Gel Application Guide for step-by-step method.

It could be a few different reasons but the most common one is nail plate not being prepped correctly before gel application. Ensure your nails are free from oils and creams, the nail plate is etched and all of the shine is removed. Most importantly make sure to use Perfect Prep™ before any gel application for those long-lasting, chip-free results.

No, our NEW Gentle Gels™ Builder Gel is a 2-in-1 base coat and colour. However please ensure to always use Perfect Prep™ before any Builder Gel application.
