modelones Builder Nail Gel with Gel Top Coat, 3Pcs Clear Builder Nail Kit for Thickening Apex Building Extension Rhinestone Gel Tips Glue, U/V LED Lamp Cured for Home DIY Salon Girls

FINALLY a product that gives you an EASY way to have Glorious Gorgeous Natural Nails. NO glue, no ill fitting tips that never seem to glue on straight or lay flat with full contact to your natural nail and no high-priced salons...they don't look fake because they aren't fake,, they are YOUR NATURAL nails given the strength they need to stay strong and beautiful. You gotta love it!!!I have thin brittle nails and a difficult time keeping my nails longer than a quarter inch without breaking, chipping or having them split. Since applying this product my nails are growing and feeling strong and extend past my fingertips. I can file or clip them shorter as they grow if they become too long and interfere with my crafting or typing.I have always wanted my natural nails to be long and strong and beautiful. The glue-on tips always left my natural nails soft and thin and tender. Highly recommend for those who have given up on salon and/or DIY glue-on nails. IHere's what worked for me: My application method consisted of filing my nails, pushing the cuticles back and cleaning with alcohol. Then I applied each coat (base, builder, top coat) continuing to brush the excess off and wiping the excess on the brush against the bottle top. I made sure my nail tips were fully covered without any dry spots. I then cured until they were no longer tacky to touch. I then let rest for 15-30 minutes to cool and set completely. The whole process took me about two hours and now I have GORGEOUS NATURAL nails. More time than the instructions tell you but way worth it!!!I will say the curing time under the lamp was way off, at least with the lamp I used which was brand new and not one of those dinky ones, taking several 90-second rounds to achieve a non-tacky feel to the touch. I work with resin making jewelry and stuff so I am familiar with the product/lamp process and will say it is important to make sure each level or coat is fully cured before applying the next coat. The instructions don't emphasize this and they don't tell you to wait 10 -15 minutes or longer for each coat to cool and set before applying the next. In my experience, each coat should be cured to a non-tacky touch to be fully cured. Hope that helps.

In my lifetime I've used gel nails. I work with my hands and acrylic nails always cracked the minute I bumped them on something. My previous gel product disappeared and closed and I have spent about 4 years trying different products with no luck. I finally gave this one a shot and the gel is amazing! The thick consistency is perfect for giving time to shape and add designs. I've never had a gel last over 3 weeks without lifting at the cuticles. This one lasts! It stays shiny for weeks and is durable for the damage I put my hands through on a daily basis. I absolutely love it! The only issue is the white does not cure properly. Takes forever. I found just using the clear builder and adding my own color powder works great! This is my new permanent product!

I am a complete beginner to gel nails. I have tried to grow my nails for many years. I finally have them in fair condition. I heard about Modelones Builder Gel and bought this set. I applied everything in thin coats, but the builder gel which I applied thinly, then added a bit for an apex. I caught my middle fingernail on a drawer. Normally, I’d be suffering with a bad break. I had no breakage, no damage, no lifting, and no peeling. The shine lasts and my OWN natural nails have never looked better. I sanded off all the shine I could, and after soaking as directed, the gel peeled right off leaving no damage to my nails. Very nice products.

Gel builder levels out smoothly but it's too runny. It runs off before i can finish shaping. It is not too sticky so it's easy to clean off. It also burns under light. I find that the gel builder peels off with hot water so stay away unless you need to remove it. I also got an allergic reaction to the gel builder in clear. It hadn't happened with the base or top coat. I love the top coat. I use the top coat al the time and this is a repurchase of it. It lasts so long and does not turn yellow. It's easy to apply and does not need to wipe off. It's thick enough to protect design.

Works very well. Has helped me be able to grow out my natural nails instead of using fake nails. Makes my nails sturdy like acrylic but not chunky

I have been using this product since December now, and I absolutely love it. This is the 3rd time I have bought it to replenish my supply. I don't know about it making my nail stronger in general, like some have claimed. But as someone that didn't do too well on the nail aspect of cosmology school this has been a game changer. I have used Dip Powders, normal Acrylic, as well as other Gel's and this stuff has to be the best. I have not had any peeling, the colors that I have bought are vibrant and stay that way. The only time there is any stickiness to them is before the topcoat. For first time users TAKE YOUR TIME, don't rush even now it still takes me longer than I would normally like, however I learned from the first time I have a better turn out.

Best builder gel, easy to use and lasts me 3 weeks! I do my own nails at home and these make my nails last so long and grow out as well.

The builder gel was pretty clear and effective. The base and top coat do not dry and easily susceptible to smudging as a result. I would only get the builder gel in this brand moving forward.
