Review on IBD UV Clear Builder Gel 2 oz: Long-lasting and High-Quality Nail Enhancement Solution by Robin Brinks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great extension gel for very strong gel nails

Some have complained about the thickness of the product but if it were as thin as the base/top coat etc I believe it wouldn't be an extension. Gel. Just grab some very good brushes and practice. The thickness finally ensures that I never have to do a manicure again. Now I can make them myself. If you go to the salon to build up "gel” nails, you need to put gel "powder” on them to strengthen them. I was never able to master this technique on my own and have been trying for years. Then build-up gels came onto the market, which completely saved me from going to the salon. I apply a base coat, use a builder gel, apply color (if I want to) and then a top coat. I will NEVER break a nail again. How many coats of gel have I not applied before - without builder gel my nails broke. Now my nails are as strong as in a professional nail salon. I like the thickness of the lengthening gel as I see it as a strengthening layer. It cures on its own and initially feels a bit too thick to work with, but if you must - apply one nail at a time, cure under light, then move on to the next nail until you get the get the hang of it. This color is beautiful too. Very sheer, very natural looking when doing french ends. Please note in the photo I have this builder gel on my nails but the color I use over the filler is a brilliant color change nail color (when nails are warm). faded, cold - the color darkens), so the photos do not show the obvious results of gel extension. I'm just showing the results of how, with practice, you can get a smooth result using a constructor. I'm not a professional, but that's enough for me.
