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.

This builder gel excels at creating professional-quality extensions and overlays with excellent self-leveling properties and durability of 2-5 weeks. Customers praised the "beautiful" ivory cream color and "perfect" c-curve retention. Most loved the consistent formula and easy application, though some noted minor lifting from prep issues and wished for larger bottle size.

Довольна результатом

Довольно хорошо! Использовала для оверлея на натуральных ногтях, уже почти 3 недели держится. Небольшой скол на кончике в конце но это нормально. Цвет очень красивый

Reliable formula

Really happy with this builder gel! Used it for a full set of extensions and they turned out great. Self-leveling is good but i noticed a tiny lifting near the cuticle on one finger after 2 weeks, probably my prep though. Will buy again

Buena durabilidad

Buen gel en general. Trabajo en un salón y lo he probado con varias clientas. Durabilidad de 2-3 semanas de media. Una clienta tuvo un levantamiento pero fue cosa de la preparación. Recomendable

Justine (France)
Tenue correcte

Bonne formule, bonne viscosité. J'ai construit l'apex facilement et la c-curve tient bien. Je retire une étoile car j'aurais aimé plus de produit dans le flacon pour le prix mais la qualité est là

Melhor gel builder que já usei!

Já é minha terceira compra e continuo apaixonada. Extensões aguentam mais de 4 semanas, estrutura sólida, sem rachadura no ponto de stress. Melhor gel da categoria

Reliable formula

Used this as an overlay on my natural nails and they lasted almost 3 weeks. A bit of chipping at the tips near the end but for the price its honestly great. The shade looks stunning too

Extensions came out stunning

This is my third bottle and I keep coming back for a reason. Extensions last over 4 weeks, the structure is solid, no cracking at the stress point. Best builder gel on the market imo

Tellement contente

Première pose complète avec ce gel et je suis bluffée. L'auto-nivellement est parfait, pas de bulles, pas de couche collante après polymérisation. La c-curve tient comme un roc. Mes ongles sont magnifiques !!

Just did my first full set with this and I'm speechless. The gel self-levels like a dream, no bubbles, no sticky residue after curing. C-curve holds perfectly. My nails look like I went to a salon!!

Boa fórmula

Boa viscosidade pra esculpir. Construí o apex sem dificuldade e a c-curve ficou ótima. Perco uma estrela porque o frasco é menor do que esperava pro preço. Mas a qualidade é muito boa

My new holy grail

Not gonna lie i was skeptical bc I've been burned by other brands but WOW. Sculpted a full set of coffin extensions and they're perfect. The color is even more beautiful in person

Bom resultado

Fiz overlay nas minhas unhas naturais e ficou ótimo, já faz quase 3 semanas. Um chip pequenininho numa ponta no finalzinho mas nada grave. O gel se trabalha muito bem, é fácil de controlar

Good formula for sculpting. Builds the apex nicely, cures without sticky layer once sealed. My clients like the result. I took off one star because i wish there was more product in the bottle

5 звёзд без сомнений

У меня салон и этот гель стал моим главным продуктом. Клиентки носят наращивание 4-5 недель без проблем. Оттенок цвет слоновой кости выглядит потрясающе на длинных ногтях. Очень рекомендую!

Absolutamente increíble

Madre mía este gel es INCREÍBLE. He hecho 3 sets completos y cada vez las extensiones salen perfectas. Auto-nivelación impecable, curado uniforme, cero levantamientos. Cambia de marca definitivamente

Cassidy (United Kingdom)
Solid purchase

Good gel overall. Applied it over nail forms for a set of c-curve extensions. The viscosity is nice, not too runny. I'd give it 5 stars but the apex took a bit of work to build up properly. Still very satisfied

My new holy grail

FINALLY found a builder gel that actually cures properly in color. Dark/pigmented gels usually have curing issues but this one is flawless - solid cure all the way through, no soft spots at all

Hazel (Australia)
Almost perfect

Happy with the extensions I built using this gel. Holds the c-curve well, no cracking. The tone is beautiful on extensions. Would have been 5 stars but had a small bubble on one nail

M
Michael (United States)
Pretty good builder gel

Good builder gel. I work in a salon and tested it on a few clients. Results were solid, lasted 2-3 weeks for most. One client had a lift on one nail but that was a prep issue not the gel. Would reorder

Soy FAN total

Fórmula perfecta. No demasiado espesa para contornear, no demasiado fluida para perder el control. El color crema de marfil es aún más bonito en la uña que en la foto. Ya he pedido 3 colores más

Amanda (United Kingdom)
Incredible formula

Literally told all my friends about this gel. Did a set of almond extensions in ivory cream and they lasted almost 5 weeks. The color is stunning and the formula is just perfect in every way

Bonne formule

Très bon gel de construction dans l'ensemble. Je l'ai utilisé pour poser un full set d'extensions et le résultat est joli. Petit soulèvement sur un doigt après 12 jours mais c'était probablement ma prépa. Je rachète

WOW naprawdę

Robię extensions od 7 lat i to jeden z najlepszych żeli jakie testowałam. Lepkość idealna do rzeźbienia, apex buduje się świetnie. Jestem fanką.

Good but not my fav

Nice formula for building extensions. It self-levels well and cures properly under my 48W lamp. Removed one star bc i feel like the bottle could be bigger, but the gel itself is really good quality

Sept ans que je pose des extensions et ce gel fait partie des meilleurs que j'ai testés. La viscosité est idéale pour sculpter, l'apex se construit facilement et la c-curve tient impeccable. Je suis fan

Хорошая стойкость

Довольна покупкой. Гель хорошо самовыравнивается и равномерно полимеризуется. Сделала наращивание в оттенке и результат красивый. Минус за кисть которая могла быть мягче
