IBDBuilder Gel, Bright White - Made in USA Hard Gel for Nail Extensions, 0.5 oz

I absolutely love this builder gel. I have 4 children and I like to do my nails at home to save money. Let me tell you how easy this stuff is to work with. Hands down best builder gel for home use I’ve ever used. I purchased the binder, the cover pink color and the clear. In the photo I did two thin coats of the cover pink, then topped it with my toddler’s glitter polish and a top coat because we did our nails together and she wanted me to match her. Otherwise the cover pink is perfect for a natural nail look. I have very brittle thin nails that always break so it’s hard for me to grow my nails. Excited to continue to use this and see my nail growth.So far, it it lasting very well. I’m always doing dishes laundry and cleaning various things in my home all day including the car, patio, garage, groceries and shuttling everyone from school to sports, and activities and events. This took no time at all to have a salon quality results. And to me that’s the best part.Oh and the self leveling part also is wonderful! I don’t have a nail drill so I file by hand with a regular old nail file. And this stuff eliminates needing any serious filing. Seriously love it.

perfect french tip base with two coats! easy to use and love how sturdy and hard it makes my natural nails feel

My first time trying a liquid builder. I’ve been using powder dip prior and was tired of all the filing that went with it. Tired this one time and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to powder dip! This product is easy to apply and self levels so no filing needed! I put it on my natural nails followed by two coats of gel color then a gel top coat. My nails are now very strong and not too thick. I absolutely love this!

This works ok. Have to wipe with alcohol after curing to remove stickiness. It comes off randomly from my nails. But so does regular polish.

This is by far the best brand I've used!! Easy to apply, thickness is consistent, self level's. Very beginner friendly.

I bought this as an alternative to my expensive potted soft gel. I was excited about the lack of brush cleaning….PROS: the light pink color is beautiful, the gel texture is a little thick but self levels nicely and is easy to work with. It cured easily without any heat issues at all. So far it’s wearing perfect (about a week). It’s quite affordable.CONS: the gel is thick and the brush in the bottle is super soft and fluffy. It is impossible to apply even a thin coat let alone float a proper builder layer with the mess of a brush. So I had to de-pot the gel and use my normal rounded gel brush to apply it, defeating the purpose of a builder in a bottle.So 3 stars. Probably 3.5.

I waited for a week after I did a full set on my own nails to see how this builder gel in the bottle holds up. As you can see all my nails still look good with no lift, crack, peel nothing! And I’m a nail tech who has to get into water, chemicals, e-file all day. I used to wear poly gel cuz it lasts forever and acetone can’t even do anything to it but the problem is it takes time to do it myself so I’ve been trying to fine the alternative product that holds up just like poly gel but easier to apply and I found this!!! If you want the most durable nails enhancement with super easy application look no further this is it!! But for inexperienced users may find it complicated when it comes to removal cuz this is not a soak off gel. The bottle looks like gel polish but it’s not. You have to drill it off ONLY so if you’re buying this make sure you know what you’re doing. Don’t be alarmed with the viscosity it’s supposed to be thick cuz it’s meant to give your nails structure. “Not Gel Polish” If you tried IBD builder gel in the jar before this is your new best friend. It’s the same thing but in different container and I find it easier to use cuz it comes with applicator brush. The only cons I have here is it’s pricier compares to the jar version. Lastly, this color is soooooo pretty and perfect for french. I can wear this color all year long!

Love this building gel in cover pink! I specifically use this building gel for my gel x nails or on natural nails for when I want to grow it out. I have my cosmo license for 8 years and have always use IBD building gel in a pot. So when building gel came out in a bottle… made my life easier!! It’s easy to use and dry with an led/uv lamp for 30-40 seconds. Once dry it feels hard and you can easily file around the cuticle for a flawless look ( I use my e- file) and a regular file to shape the nail. When I’m not doing clients nail I’ve always done my own acrylic. And it’s not easy. So I starting using gel x with IBD building gel. The IBD hard gel is easy to manipulate with a brush and it self level!! 👍🏻👍🏻 if you know what you are doing this will last you 2-3 weeks. To take it off file it down as much as you can and soak the rest with acetone. I also love the color of the cover pink. Gives me a very clean look!I also bought the IBD top coat. Let’s just say I’m not the biggest fan of it. It’s okayyyyy. You have to use alcohol to take out the tackiness. Which I don’t mind bc I can just use it to put powder pigments on my nails. But as a top coat… idk. It doesn’t give you much of a shine/gloss. Maybe it’s a preference. I like shiny nails lol. So I just end up using another top coat.5 ⭐️ cover pink3 ⭐️ top coatI wouldve gave this review a 5 ⭐️ bc I love the color hard gel but bc of the top coat. 4 ⭐️!Also I couldn’t do I separate review 🤷🏽‍♀️

Long lasting and easy to use. Reordering regularly.

It is somewhat easy to apply and appears to be durable. After a week of usage have not had any issues.3 stars however are due to its color. I ordered soft white, but it does not look too soft at all, it is very intense white color.I also did not like the brush that comes with it.

I don't know what wizardry this is, but it is so easy to use from the bottle here, more so than the pot version. This stuff is the best if you know how to use it. Proper prep is key, and nice strong nails with no lifting. Easy to rebalance. Beautiful subtle sheer pink hue.

Game changers for doing your own nails. I used this on top of coloured press on nails and it provides extra structure and shine, I was asked where I got my nails professionally done, because my province is still in a stay at home order; people were shocked when I told them I did it myself. I’ve used poly gel in the past and I don’t have a knack for it, builder in a bottle is easy to use and offers great results.

Big fan of this product. Not too runny so it doesn't flood cuticles and makes it easy to use. This colour in particular is one of my favourites, it's translucent enough to give it a semi natural look. I have already re-purchased
