IBD Hard Gel - LED/UV Builder Gel Pink, 1 pack (1 x 14 g) - MADE IN USA - Nail building at home - without appointments and noisy nail salons

This builder gel was really good to use! I am only a beginner but I found it relatively simple once I got the hang of it. One thing I would say is that the colour is a very light pink so I would recommend using clear tips if you’re going to do nail extensions. I used natural tips and it gave me a very nice pink and white ombré effect. The pot is the perfect size and will definitely last you a long time. This builder gel will give you good long lasting nails. To cure the builder gel I purchased the SUNmini UV/LED lamp, which costs about £12 on amazon and so it’s very affordable and good for beginners like me. The lamp cured the builder gel well and I would recommend 60s under the lamp. This builder gel is perfect just by itself or to build up an extension to then paint over. Would definitely recommend this product! :)

Great product easy to use should buy again

A good builder gel, works with LED lamp. It's thick, slowly self levelling which makes it great for me. Used dehydrator and acid free primer from Naio Nails, then did a thin base layer with this gel, put my hand in the lamp and then started building my nails on top (with a form). Had no lifting, except for one finger where I forgot to file the surface of the nail so it didn't have what to stick on. Fixed that and had no problem! Wore them 3 weeks with gel polish on top after which I filled them in.

I really like this gel. It's pretty thick which is good for giving you time to build a good shape and I find it easy to work with. It self-levels alright but definitely not as quickly/easily as thinner gels or soft gels. My natural nails are THIN and this definitely gives them a lot more strength than BIAB which I found was too flexible to protect my nails. Was reluctant about not being able to soak off but this files a lot easier than expected so removal isn't really a hassle. Only downside is it tends to flake/chip when filing which can mean a tiny bit of lifting can get bigger real suddenly when doing a fill.

UPDATE: This seems to lift quite a bit with the 'base one' primer I have been using so I have purchased the IBD powerbond and dehydrator to see if that's better. I watched a few YouTube tutorials to learn how to use it and it’s great. The pink is a really natural colour and I’ve left it like this without any gel colour (just base and top coat). I’m hoping that I will get better with more practice but it’s really good for an amateur to use who just wants to do their nails at home. Highly recommended.

I bought natural 2 but it looks like pink , even though it says natural on the bottle Its also very thick 🥴

Easy to apply, great for beginners, I love it 🥰

Excellent stuff...just wish it was in a bottle n brush...like the mylee 5 in 1. Cured better in UV lamp...for me

Perfekt

The only issues was that I had ordered the shade natural II, received White instead .

When i recieve and open the box the item has no lid

Works great

Great stuff! It has saved me bundles from having to go to salons. It does exactly what it is supposed to do.
