Questions
Why does builder gel lift?
Elegelli builder gel holds 28 days and more. When a set lifts, look at the prep first: cuticle left on the nail plate, shine not fully removed, or gel touching the skin. Under-curing is the other cause: cure each layer 60 s under LED or 120 s under UV.
Will it run into the cuticles?
No. It self-levels, then holds where you place it, so the apex stays where you built it. Keep the jar at room temperature, between 15 and 25 °C, and the texture stays the same.
Does it get hot under the lamp?
No. It cures without a heat spike, so hands stay in the lamp for the full cure. For a very thick build, cure in two layers rather than one.
Will it crack at the stress area?
No. It stays strong where the nail flexes, so you don’t need to pile product on the stress area to stop it snapping.
How do I remove it?
With a file or an e-file, not by soaking, so there is no 30-minute wait. Leave a thin layer for the refill, or file down to the natural nail without ever forcing it off.
Is it HEMA-free?
Yes. It contains no HEMA and no TPO (it cures with TMO), and the full ingredient list is on this page. HEMA-free does not mean allergy-free: keep the gel off the skin and cure every layer fully.
