Nude Rubber Nail Base Gel Polish, Builder Bottle Nail Strengthener Self-level Extension Fiber Gel, UV LED Base Coat

I love how easy it is to use and it looked so pretty by itself that I didn’t even feel the need to paint over them. It takes a long time to cure (about 2 minutes with my UV light and that may just be because I need a new one), but if you cure it correctly the first time (unlike what I did) it becomes easy to shape with a buffer afterwards. I actually didn’t buff out my left hand afterwards because I already loved how they turned out without needing to. It was just so easy to shape it before curing it and so easy to fill my previous gel-x nails. I did buff one nail on my right hand before it fully cured, which was a mistake, so I had to recure, reapply, and then rebuff. But as long as you cure it long enough, it’s easy to reshape (not that you need to—it was so easy to shape when it was wet as long as you use a little product at a time and build it up, little by little). Easier for your dominant hand than less dominant hand tho lol.) I definitely recommend it if you’re trying to fill your gel-x nails at home (saves money!!!)

This is a great builder gel for first-time users. I purchased this having never used it before, and used it for my pedicure and I am beyond contempt with the outcome. I have used it a few times now, and can honestly speak to its quality as well. It cures well and really adds some strength to your toenails as would acrylic, except without the hassle of acrylic powder, monomer, and rushing to sculpt it before it hardens. I would definitely re-purchase and am excited to try some of the other color options from this brand.

for background, I have done my nails myself for as long as I can remember, got acrylics a couple times at a chop shop and ruined my nails. I finally got them to grow back out but I just need them to be stronger and healthier so I'm trying builder gel now.pros: (1) milky white is the perfect shade for anyone who wants a white nail but doesn't want them to be in your face white. (2) definitely does its job as biab - relatively self leveling so even if it goes on a tad streaky it will smooth out a bit. (3) easy to clean up mistakes. (4) cures with a tacky layer so the top coat will stick. (5) directions are easy to followcons: (1) suuuuuper goopy and thick so it will take some getting used to for beginners as far as application goes. (2) milky white, while the perfect shade, does need to be applied evenly to get a uniform look. (3) mine took a little shaping after application and curing just bc some areas ended up curing thicker even after thin brush adjustment. but it's not too hard to fix with a regular file/buffer.tip: make sure you prep your nails properly before applying for better retention.and the two week update everyone has been waiting for!! the second picture is two weeks of growth, you can see it has chipped in some places and (not pictured) two of them came off completely on my other hand, which is probably due to a combination of me using/washing my hands all the time for work and lazy prep work. The third picture is after taking it off. I will say you NEED to be patient when soaking them off (I wasn't on my pinky finger and thats why the top layer of nail is messed up a little). I used pure acetone for my soak off but I will be trying a brush-on remover next time.I do use a cuticle/nail oil every day (the one by bliss kiss is so nice) so that won't affect your retention as long as you prep correctly. I wouldn't recommend doing a fill with the milky colors unless you don't mind seeing where you filled or unless you put color/designs on top of it.Hope all of this helps! :)

Estoy muy contenta con este producto dude al comprarlo por las opiniones que lei pero a mi me funsiona perfecto seca bien me duro 20 dias y me las las quite porque ya me habia crecido mucho la uña y no se veia bien pero estaba bien pegada y con brillo todavia definitivamente siempre la comprare gracias mis uñas me han crecido y cuando me la volvi a aplicar se ven muy naturales

I have tried other brands of rubber gel base coat and this is so far my favorite. Durable, I use it as a builder gel since I like to keep relatively long nails and some of them are broken so I use paper forms to create a tip. On nails that are not broken, I do two layers to strengthen the natural nail. I got the milky pink color, not my thing hence why I’m only using it as a base coat and will be painting over it with a different gel but it’s pretty enough on its own! In the picture I used it to build the tip on my pinky nail which is why it’s so opaque, my ring finger is just two regular coats because I haven’t gotten to the tip yet.

I bought the milky white rubber base, so this review is specifically on that.I have short nails that are very weak. After finding out that rubber bases were better than builder gel for short, weak nails I decided to give this one a shot since it’s on the affordable side.Application: I used the Mia Secret XtremeBond primer and let that dry a bit. I applied a thin base layer of this rubber base and cured for 2 minutes. I then went in and applied a thicker layer and cured it for 2 minutes once I had the shape I wanted. After wiping the sticky layer off the top with alcohol the surface stayed fairly shiny.My thoughts: the only other rubber base gel I’ve tried is the OXXI Professional rubber base, so that’s what I’ll compare this to. This rubber base has a pretty color, but is definitely more flexible than the OXXI rubber base. I know you want some flex in a rubber base but I worry too much flexing could result in breakage. I will be sticking to the OXXI rubber base which has a little more stability while still remaining flexible. Overall, this rubber base seems fine for beginners but maybe not the best if you’re rough on your nails like me.

perfect! Have a couple of builder gels and this red colour is fantastic as a builder in a bottle. Was worried the colour would be sheer but it’s opaque and rich. Applies nicely and cures fast. Top coat used in this pic, it lasts for more than 2 weeks!
