IBD Hard Gel LED/UV Builder Gel – Clear, Nail Extension & Overlay Gels, Strong Acrylic Finish, Professional Quality, 2 oz, 1 Pack

This ibd Hard Gel is absolutely fantastic! The clear formula provides incredible strength and durability that rivals salon-quality extensions. The LED/UV compatibility makes curing quick and convenient with consistent results every time. The consistency is perfectly balanced - thick enough to build structure and length but workable enough to shape and sculpt before curing. It self-levels beautifully for smooth, professional-looking finishes without bubbles or streaking. The clear formula is perfect for natural looks or as a base for polish. What impressed me most is the incredible strength once cured. These extensions last for weeks without chipping, cracking, or lifting. Perfect for anyone who's hard on their nails or wants long-lasting length. The acrylic-like finish is glossy and durable. Excellent for nail extensions, overlays, and sculpting work. Much easier to work with than traditional acrylic systems but delivers the same professional strength. Great for both beginners learning extensions and experienced nail artists. The product consistency remains perfect throughout the bottle with no thickening or separation over time. Easy to control application and shaping makes professional results achievable at home. Essential for quality nail extensions - highly recommend for strong, beautiful, long-lasting nails!

I just did my nails yesterday and I absolutely love this product. I have a clear I wish I would’ve got the pink, but I just been having issues with color and I wanted to just keep it simple and hopefully the clear would have worked better and it did like I was able to just really manage how much I put on I did have to buy my own brushes to paint on the builder gel, but it was such an easy process. I love the way it. it’s solidified my nail I feel like my nails are really strong now although this is just yesterday that I did them they feel like they’ll be long lasting so if not, I’ll probably change my reading but so far I really really appreciate them. They look so good And it was just really easy to apply. I had to repair one of my nails and it came in thick I was able to make a nice thick layer over my nail and it was just really easy to manage super grateful for this product.

Excellant. Been using for years. Not for beginners. Once you learn how to apply this is excellent.

I've been using IBD gel products since the late '90 until now. The IBD builder gel is definitely one of the best in the industry and a go-to standard product for nail professionals like myself. Great viscosity and easy to sculpt. Very durable and virtually non-lifting if one follows the proper procedure for application. Highly recommend!!!

I started using builder gel after my nail tech recommended I try it. I absolutely loved it until she moved and no longer could service me 😭 I ended up buying this (it was the same brand she used) and continued doing my own nails with it. While I’m not as good as my beloved nail tech amy, this stuff does wonders. I watched a few tutorials and have been using it for a few weeks. It reinforced my brittle nails so they don’t break and helps my gel manicures last nearly 3 weeks. Takes some getting use to learning how to apply and it definitely burns but once you figure it out it’s not bad. You have to put your finger in and out of the lamp quickly for the first few seconds when curing the builder gel.

Came with a lot, super easy to work with, yay, your a poopy fart

Works great, tried other brands, and they dont hold.. if u want to remove after a week DONT BUY THIS BRAND... IT LAST!! GREAT PRODUCT!!

So I’ve been painting and taking care of my nails since I was around 11. I’ve always kept them nice and went through seasons of salon acrylics during high school and then later on gel polish. I don’t now what my hang up was in buying my own gel polish set up, maybe the price? I believe at home gel lamps are exponentially more common and cheaper than back when it was new. I dye yarn for a living and my hands are often wet and even the best quality regular polish just can’t stay nice long because wet nails are softer and bend and then it chips and it’s downhill from there. When my baby was born, now toddler- that was the first time in my life since I was little that I wasn’t painting my nails and I was 39. Finally during this pandemic I had a real moment one day and got a little mad where I said “You know what screw mascara and buying all the salon nail stuff too!” I went with natural looking false lashes and declared no more with the nail neglect. Pretty nails make me feel like I’m at least trying even if I’m picking up goldfish crackers off the floor 50% of the time. It’s a self care thing. ALLLLL that to say that the pandemic led me to want to DIY the gel polish and wow I didn’t even know hard gel existed until YouTube learning. I needed something to combat the wet hands from my job. I got a $16 LED lamp here also and even an efile for refills. I bought this IBD gel and thought it was going to look terrible but was willing to try. I just wanted a hard overlay on my own nails. It was so easy. You have to be patient but anyone can do this. I owe it all to IBD’s great product. I use the IBD clear builder gel first and then the non builder clear gel for my apex but you don’t need both. Learned about apex along with everything else I’ve learned from Liz at Nailhub on YouTube. Go watch and leave a comment that some weirdo blabber mouth in an Amazon review sent you. -IBD is great. The price is great. If you take the time to watch videos and how to create great adhesion and prevent lifting then you will eventually have to refill them because they have all stayed on so long and grown out. BUY IT. and maybe some chrome powders and glitter. Life is too short not to do exactly what you want with nails and exactly what I want is sparkles ❤️ Nails look white here because I have white gel polish UNDER the hard gel so I will know when to stop using the efile and soak the rest off. I choose to do this until I am comfortable with my efile skills because I don’t want my natural nails affected. At all.

mycket bra

The clear IBD hard gel is really good. This is the first time I have tried to do gel nails at home. I used to do acrylics. I have now used this gel to build nails on tips and on forms a few times. It comes out great every time. The gel is self leveling but is not runny. I saw reviews that it's not runny enough but that's not true - if the gel was runnier than it is right now it would be nearly impossible to work with. I normally do two coats of it so the nail is thick enough. I cure it for 90 seconds under a LED night and it cures really well. I then clean them with alcohol and sand them down to the shape and smoothness that I want. I recommend using a good quality synthetic brush and at least a 45W LED light to go along with this. I also recommend working on a clean and large table because you don't want dust or pet hair getting into. Also, make sure you do not leave this or any other gel products in sunlight as it will cure in the UV rays. I was surprised by the price and the size of the bottle, however, I know now that you will get a LOT of use out of this container. I have not used it all yet so I cannot say how many nails you can build with it, but I have used it to make 120 nails (6 full sets of nails) already and it looks like I have not even made a dent. The price is great in comparison to other places I have seen. I saw IBD builder gel at a shop, the bottle was half the size for the same price! ** make sure you buy IBD UV/LED Gel Bonder and use it with this. Prep the nails by filing off the shininess, clean with rubbing alcohol, put bonder on it and cure for 30 seconds, then use builder gel and cure for 60-90 seconds per thick layer (you will need 2 layers, 3 max if you like thick big nails).

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

Premetto che ormai da anni provvedo autonomamente alla mia manicure da autodidatta per cui non sono una professionista ma dopo vari " esperimenti " , sono riuscita ad acquisire tutte le tecniche per ottenere un buon risultato sia estetico che di durata. Ho sempre usato il costruttore della Melissa, ma questa volta non sono riuscita a trovarlo con facilità ed in tempi rapidi, per cui facendo un giro su Amazon ho trovato questo FANTASTICO COSTRUTTORE Strong della IBD. CHE DIRE? •Innanzitutto il barattolo contiene 56 gr a fronte dei soliti 50 "classici". • imballaggio e packaging curato • alta densità •automodellante • non brucia durante l' asciugatura e non puzza • non crea bolle • in fase di allungamento risulta stabile • la cosa che mi ha lasciato senza parole è la facilità di limatura e modelling. • per concludere made in USA ( gli americani hanno sperimentato già molti anni prima di noi la nail art) • prezzo super 👍 Lo ricomprerò sicuramente. Aggiornerò la recensione fra 3 settimane per scrivere la recensione sulla durata nonché resistenza, per il momento 5 stelle meritatissime. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aggiornamento recensione dopo quasi 1 mese: Il prodotto è molto valido. Gel super resistente. La mia manicure è durata 1 mese senza nessuna rottura a differenza di altri prodotti. Ottimo 👍🎉 5 stelle +
