Works well as an overlay for natural nails

I purchased this product not for gel extensions/tips…but rather to use as an overlay on my natural nails prior to applying my gel mani. I wanted my nails to feel a bit harder/stronger. It works well. It is definitely thicker than I was anticipating but it was workable. It cured nicely with my UV/LED light …I did 120 seconds to be safe. I just applied it today so I can’t speak to longevity but I don’t ever have an issue with my gel not lasting so I assume it’ll be fine.

Pros
  • Beauty & Personal Care
Cons
  • May not last as long as other nail extension products

This is a game changer!

Love this stuff! I wanted to go from acrylics (which I had for years) into a perfect manicure with gels. My nails were always brittle and thin when I took off my acrylics and I hated how they looked so I kept going back to acrylics and every time I'd get them done, they'd just file my nails so thin! I got this and it's made my gels last! And filled out ridges abs bumps from having fragile nails until they're done growing out. It took my about 3 sets to really get the hang of it. Less is more…

Pros

Cons
  • Can be challenging to sculpt and shape

Best item I’ve purchased for my nails

I have struggled with nail biting for as long as I can remember, so I gave this a try to strengthen my nails and protect them from breaking + my biting. I added the before and after results from using it for a couple of weeks, and I am so happy with this product. It was so easy to use, that I have been doing my nails with no tips or form, I love it!

Long lasting but THICK!

I had been looking to try something new as I’ve been using Structure by another brand. I’ve been told they are discontinuing the line. This ibd builder in a bottle is long lasting and stands up to chores. The color is also beautiful. HOWEVER it is so thick. If you like to do just a cpl thin even layers on natural nails before your polish to add support it is very difficult with this product. I’ve been a licensed nail technician for 6 yrs and my professional opinion is tht this product is best…

Pros
  • Can be used on natural nails for an extra layer of protection
Cons
  • Can cause allergic reactions to certain individuals

I love it! - my new review

Kind of tricky at the beginning, cause it gets really thick when it's cold, and very thin when it's hot. But as soon as you learn how to deal with it, it's an excellent product. What I do when it's hot is to apply two layers, curating in between, and when it's too cold I warm the tube in the hot water from the sink for a bit, til it gets in a good consistency. But I've used it round 5-6 times and I can tell it makes a whole difference for me. I apply it on my natural nails to make them ticker…

Pros
  • Bonds well with natural nails
Cons
  • Can be difficult to achieve a thin application

Mixed feelings on my review.

I got the soft white shade - expecting a milky white but it is much too opaque. It’s just a whiter that’s not shocking. I made the mistake of going to thick at first but after doing super thin coats - I got them much nicer looking! Not a bad product at all. I’m going to try one of the pink shades next.

Pros
  • Provides perfect coverage
Cons
  • Requires professional training to apply properly

Kinda Diappointed for my opinion

I tried this out thinking it was easier to use than the IBD hard gel in a pot and boy was I wrong! This formula kept running down the sides instead of staying put, and the brush wasn't all that great either. It's way too wide and picks up way too much product. If you're going to use this, you must cure them pretty quickly after brushing it on. The final product is really pretty though.

Pros
  • 62492
Cons
  • Can cause damage to natural nails if not applied correctly

Awful material on my review.

Consistency on this product is bad, too heavy for the brush and doesn’t dry correctly in the lamp, I don’t recommend for beginners and professionals

Pros
  • Very easy to use, great consistency, beautiful sheer pink
Cons
  • Dries quickly, making it hard to work with

A new nail staple on my review.

My nails feel very strong. It’s a beautiful color with the perfect amount of sheerness. I did a thin slip layer, a thicker layer, and then a clear soft gel topcoat. It leveled very nicely and dried fast under the lamp. Next time I am going to add half tips underneath.

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting
Cons
  • Not waterproof

Perfect builder gel

I do my own nails and this has been a game changer! It’s easy to apply and makes my gel last so much longer. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • Can be easily sculpted for any desired shape
Cons
  • Can be difficult to remove without damaging natural nails

Soft white is not sheer

The color soft white is not sheer or milky at all. It’s very opaque even with two thin coats. I wasn’t expecting that but it’s still a nice white. I’ve used the cover pink color also and prefer it over soft white. I also found soft white a little more difficult to apply. Overall a great product for a non-professional beginner.

Pros
  • Provides a clean and polished look
Cons
  • Can be a hassle to maintain

Love this product good for me

It was beyond easy to use. I have tried countless other brush on uv/led gel builders and this one is the best! Love love love it

Pros
  • Ideal for those with weak nails
Cons
  • Can be challenging to use for beginners

Cute color ! good for me

Great color ! I love it doesn’t chip or break easy. Easy to use and move around. I would cure each one 5 seconds so it doesn’t move then cure completely when your done with a hand. I’m having a horrible time with lifting I don’t know if it’s this or the bond base I’m using from Ibd.

Pros
  • 1.75 x 1.75 x 1.1 inches; 0.39 Ounces
Cons
  • Can be time-consuming to apply

There is a learning curve but worth it

This product is nice and thick so it is easier to build an apex. I would recommend purchasing gel brushes as it’s sometimes easier to use that the brush in the bottle. Very clear and perfect for encapsulating.

Pros
  • American International Industries
Cons
  • Can be difficult to achieve a smooth application
