beetles Gel PolishBeetles Builder Gel 7 in 1 Nail Builder Strengthener Gel Clear Color Hard Gel Builder Extension Nail Gel for Holiday Nail Art Design for Girls

Quite good builder gel. I prefer to do my nails at home as I need them to last and be able to survive my day to day life and so far I like the result.It’s my first time doing builder gel and it was easy to apply even though it takes a moment to get used to it, but there is nothing that TikTok tutorials can’t help with.Only thing that I didn’t not expect – pink colour is QUITE pink as for my skin. Still looks natural, just more pink-ish than expected (can clearly tell on 2nd picture how colour comes through on natural light).Update: Week later started peeling off, but problem was solved by using dehydrator and primer. Only issue now - it’s quite liquid and requires a bit of work and speed to keep it in nice shape. Still it is good for its price.

Cover Pink.I’ve found this gel SO easy to work with, highly durable and have managed to grow my natural nails to a lovely length!I’d watched alot of YouTube videos on how to apply but found I was overthinking it with this gel because its so easy to use.A thin slip layer, a large bead pushed towards the cuticle then gently dragged to the free edge simply does the trick as it’s incredibly self levelling. Then a thin brush to adjust the apex if needed.It’s quite thick but I like that because it gives me time to perfect the placement of it without the danger of it flooding the sides/cuticles. You just need to be patient and take your time with it ☺️Using a dehydrator and a base coat before hand gives me at least 3 weeks strong problem free mani’s. I haven’t found this lifts or chips and have no problems curing it for 60 seconds.I’ve worn it without/alongside coloured gel too as it’s a nice light pink for my pale skin.

Giving 4 stars as the product itself is good and was easy to apply, but removed a star for the colour. Was expecting a milky nude, but it’s definitely more of an opaque peach. Shame as I can’t exchange for a different colour.I ordered the ‘Nude’ colour (010)

This is a builder gel. It’s VERY THICK and you need to cure it with a UV or LED. It’s designed to strengthen nails and if you apply it well then it’s fantastic, but you need to watch some tutorials on how to do it if you’ve not used it before.Apply a slip coat (very thin base coat) so this builder gel moves around easily. Apply in a waving motion side to side across the nail and then turn your hand upside down and let it slowly gather at the apex of the nail to give a nice shape and strength to natural nails or to blend tips.It cures fast and well (needs 60 seconds minimum) and then it lasts for a long time and wears very well without peeling or chipping.My only complaint is the brush gets bent out of shape easily when pushing it into such thick product in the bottle, so over time it gets harder to use unless you take care to reshape the brush or use an alternative one.

A bit too thick for my use. Very messy coming out of the bottle. Suited more to a jar and brush. Also found this product came off my nail way too easy. I was able to pick off after a day. I tested this over 2 bottles so not an isolated issue. Other Beetles products are fine.

Really good quality. Easy to apply as well, sticks to the nails and is very strong, even though I hit my nails accidentally a lot. It really grew my natural nails back well. The colour is subtle enough to be able to put other subtle/pastel colours on top and it works great.

I'm gonna start my review by saying i have other beetles gel nail products which i have been very happy with and my only other experience with builder gel is from using mylee so im not entirely clueless as ive been using theirs for over a yr without issue.What a disappointment this product has been. I can only hope its a defective batch but i certainly won't be testing any of their other builder gels at my expense to find out.I ordered the cover nude. Lovely the colour. First thing i noticed on my first application was the consistency... not as thick, more like regular gel polish but i thought okay that might not be a bad thing. Ha! More fool me.Next thing i noticed was how easy the cured gel lifted off my skin. Then how easily it lifted off my nails, and not even in chips or pieces, the whole thing off the nailbed. Lifting off like its a peel off nail polish. My instant reaction was to assume that maybe i had done something wrong on prepping. So i try again. And again. And again.When i tell you i was redoing individual nails every day or 2 for about a week and half to 2 weeks before i gave up, it was ridiculous. No matter how i filed, or what i used to rid the nail bed of any possible oils or dust, i had the same result. Not one of those nails stayed on for longer than 72hrs.I ended up using their gel colour directly on my nails (no builder) and would you believe they've lasted longer than the builder gel.The same nails i thought was an issue.I will be sending this straight back because fit for purpose is not in this bottle..

Easy to use for a beginner, lasts at least 3 weeks so far no chips or breaks
