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.

Customers praised this builder gel for extensions, noting "perfect self-leveling" and "incredible formula." The orange-red nasturtium color received acclaim. Extensions lasted 4-5 weeks for professionals. Minor issues included occasional lifting (attributed to prep), small bubbles, and brush stiffness. Some felt bottle size was small for the price.

Стоит своих денег

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

5 gwiazdek bez wahania

Ten żel builder jest NIESAMOWITY. Zrobiłam 3 pełne sety i za każdym razem extensions wychodzą idealnie. Auto-nivelacja perfekcyjna, polimeryzacja równomierna, zero unoszenia. Nie wrócę do poprzedniej marki

Buen gel builder

Muy buen gel! Hice un set completo de extensiones y quedaron preciosas. Tuve un pequeño levantamiento en un dedo a los 10 días pero creo que fue mi preparación. Repetiré la compra

WOW de verdad

POR FIN un gel builder que cura bien en color ! Los geles pigmentados suelen tener problemas de curado pero este es perfecto, duro hasta el núcleo, sin puntos blandos

Decent sculpting gel

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

Idealne extensions omg

Pierwszy pełny set z tym żelem i jestem zachwycona. Auto-nivelacja idealna, bez bąbelków, bez kleistej warstwy po polimeryzacji. C-curve trzyma się doskonale!!

Contenta con el resultado

Contenta con la compra. El gel se nivela solo correctamente y la polimerización es uniforme. Hice extensiones en rojo-naranja capuchina y el resultado es precioso. Menos una estrella por el pincel que es un poco rígido

Nice result, minor issues

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

Game changer fr

I own a small nail studio and this gel has become my go-to. Clients wear their extensions 4+ weeks without any issues. The quality is seriously impressive and the orange-red nasturtium shade is stunning on longer nails

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

Lo recomiendo

Buena viscosidad para esculpir. El ápex se construye fácilmente y la c-curve aguanta bien. Le quito una estrella porque el frasco es pequeño para el precio. Pero la calidad del gel es buena

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

Bon gel, petit bémol

Bon produit, honnête pour le prix. J'ai fait un overlay sur ongles naturels et ça tient depuis 2,5 semaines impeccable. Le gel est agréable à travailler, la teinte est exactement ce que je cherchais

Best builder gel I've tried

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

Primer set completo con este gel y me ha dejado sin palabras. Se nivela sola perfectamente, sin burbujas, sin capa pegajosa. La c-curve aguanta como un campeón. Mis uñas están increíbles!!

Decent sculpting gel

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

Reliable formula

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

Dobry żel do budowania

Dobry żel do budowania. Zrobiłam pełny zestaw extensions i wyszło ładnie. Miałam małe unoszenie na jednym palcu po 12 dniach ale to chyba moja wina przy przygotowaniu. Kupię ponownie

Incredible formula

I've been doing nail extensions for 7 years and this is genuinely one of the best builder gels I've used. The consistency is perfect for sculpting, the apex builds beautifully and it cures evenly. Obsessed.

Bom resultado

Produto bom, honesto pelo preço. Extensões ficaram com bom formato, c-curve manteve bem. Único minus é que o pincel poderia ser mais firme pra esculpir. Mas resultado final ficou ótimo

Ce gel c'est tout

Ce gel de construction est INCROYABLE. J'ai fait 3 poses complètes avec et à chaque fois les extensions sont parfaites. L'auto-nivellement est top, la polymérisation homogène, aucun soulèvement. Je ne reviendrai jamais en arrière

Cannot stop ordering

I do my own nails at home and have been practicing extensions for a year. This is the best builder gel I've tried - easy to work with, self-levels well, and holds up for weeks. SO happy
