Title: If you know how to use the product, it works just as it should.
Review: I've done both overlays & extensions with this gel. I'm new to both, but didn't have the troubles some people are describing. I suspect most of the bad reviews are user error. It's hard to trust nail product reviews these days. It seems like half the people hate products they don't know how to use & the other half love products they're getting for free or discounted for the review. Which is fine, I get it, people won't buy a product without reviews & when half your customer base doesn't know how to use the product & your first few reviews are unfairly poor, you're never going to sell anything, but it makes it hard as a consumer. So let me be clear, I received nothing at all for this review & paid full price for my product.Lots of complaints about the product not curing, so lets talk about that first.Some products only cure under UV, some only under LED, some cure under both. It's a question of the wavelength of the light. Watch labeling. I believe this product cures under both.The strength of your light makes a difference. If all you have is a low wattage mini light, you're going to have a harder, if not impossible time curing anything other than thin coats of gel polish.I have this 54w duel source light, I am not affiliated with them in anyway, but I've been using this light for a year now & it's never failed to cure anything I've needed to cure completely (note, I have never used UV only products). It has even stood up to my cat's knocking it off my table more than once. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CSNR6PL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1Remember, UV lamps take longer to cure. What takes 60seconds in an LED lamp will take up to 4minutes in a UV lamp. Smaller lamps may require more time regardless of type.Sometimes claims of product not curing result from people not understanding that many gel products will remain sticky on top after cured. If you're adding more product, just do so. If you aren't or need to finish file, wipe with alcohol.Don't use layers that are too thick. If you do, give it a little extra time in the light to be sure it cured through.Builder gel is meant to be used with tips or paper forms, not duel forms or mold. So yeah, you're going to make a mess if you try to use duel forms.The more product you are curing at a time, the hotter it will get under the lamp. If it's getting too hot for you, you can flash cure it for just a few seconds at a time & let it cool in between until enough of the product has cured that you can finish the cure without it burning. Once you have a well cured layer that you're building on, the chances of it getting too hot again are minimal.Lifting. I've had nails with this gel on for 2+weeks before I've gotten any lifting.Prep is everything. Start with clean, dry nails. Make sure you're dealing with your cuticles. Having gel on cuticles rather than nail is going to mean lifting so make sure you've gotten all of the dead cuticle off the nail plate.Buff lightly if you're having issues with lifting. I don't & still don't get lifting but there is no question, gel sticks better to a rough surface than a smooth, shiny one. Clean off the dust. Dehydrate well. 2parts alcohol to 1part acetone. use a good amount & wipe the nail well. Making sure you get the free edge. I even push back the cuticle a little with the wipe while I'm cleaning the nail to make sure no oil is going to get caught up in my product & cause me issues. Let that dry. If you start putting bonder or product on before it's dry you're going to end up with weak product & weak bonds.Use a good bonder. I use ASP, but there are plenty of good ones. A little goes a long way. Again, let that dry before moving on. Make sure you're using a base coat. Not a bad idea to use one by the same company you got your bonder from as the formulas may not work together as well otherwise. (they might, but they might not, you dont know).Again, make sure you keep the product away from your skin or remove it from your skin before you cure. Again, if the product is on your cuticle, it's going to lift.If you're getting peeling, then either you didn't cure all your layers, or you got something on the nail in-between layers. Make sure you aren't touching it, oils from your hands can cause that.If you're doing all that correctly & you're still having an issue with lifting then chances are it's either a personal chemistry issue (or oily nail bed) or something you're doing. Using your nails as tools. Soaking them in water.Oh, and, all gel products come with the impossible to open foil on the top. It's annoying but necessary to stop it from oozing out in transit.I didn't read all the 1star reviews, but I think that addresses the complaints I did see. I'm not married to this product. I haven't used enough other builder gels to rank it compared to others. Which is good because I really only need clear right now & I can't get clear alone here.But I can votch for the fact that it's a good gel. It works how it should. It does what it should. It absolutely meet my expectations.

Title: Good builder gel but not soak off (most likely)
Review: === UPDATE 2024-SEP-28 ===Now that I have been using this builder gel for the past 9 months I will say that it is a fantastic product! I still have yet to run out of any of the four jars.This builder gel does indeed soak off and I do so using the baggie method. It does take longer to remove than dip powder but I expect that, When I am removing this i use my e-file to remove the bulk then I soak using the baggie method for 10 minutes and use a wooden cuticle stick to remove. Many times I do need to a few iterations of this approach for removal so it does take longer than 10 minutes. During removal I will use a manual 180 grit nail file shortly after removing from soaking and that does help too. Sometimes I will use my e-file on 1K RPM and a 240 sanding band to help out as well. I would say that for a full set removal it typically takes me 30 minutes,I have not once had any issues with this builder gel cracking or chipping.=== ORIGINAL REVIEW ===I love the colors, they are beautiful and fantastic. Applying the product for me is a little tricky, but, I am just a DIYer and not a nail technician. It takes some time to apply and I had to use some slip solution to help me get it where I wanted as just floating the brush only worked for a very short time for me. However the builder gel is fantastic. It seems to be mostly self leveling and conducive to apex building.Despite having bought this months ago I have yet to apply this to my nails. The reason for this is because of the mixed reviews and Q&A here on the topic of soaking this product off with pure acetone.Right now my bottom line take is that this builder gel is not soak off. But to be fair, most builder gels are not. With that said I have three other brands of builder gels (a solid, one with a viscosity similar to this product and a liquid builder gel in a bottle) and all three of those do not soak off just by exposure to 100% acetone. However all three of those, which again to be fair, I have used on my natural nails, can be removed with an acetone soak and a cuticle pusher tool and some light filing. I also have to repeat that process for full removal several times.Based on my limited experience with other builder gels I do not expect this builder gel to be soak off only. I expect that it will be a similar experience as the other builder gels I do have experience with.Once I do apply and remove this product to my nails I will update this review. I do plan on keeping one of the colors in this kit on my nails for awhile and use it as a base for more frequent changes of dip and soft gel color and glitter selections. So to accomplish that I will wind up applying a gel top coat to this builder gel and then build on top of that for new color selections and combinations. Doing so will help significantly reduce the risks of frequent entire product removals in terms of natural nail and nail plate potential damage and nail structure stress.So today I got to running a little experiment which I go over next and for which the photos I have attached are relevant. The point of this trial was to try to get an idea of how easy this product may, or may not be, to remove. This is also the reason why I have no other sub-ratings on this product as say for longevity because I cannot speak to that since I have worn this on my nails yet.ApplicationOn the top of a full cover clear nail tip I applied the beautiful pink color of this builder gel. I applied a gel base coat (different brand), cured for 60 seconds, applied the first layer of this product - thinly - cured for 60 seconds and then applied a second coat of this product - thinly - cured for 60 seconds and then wiped off the inhibition layer using a cotton pad with 91% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol to remove the stickiness. Note that I did not apply top coat and this was intentional. Next I applied the same gel base coat to the entire underside of the full cover clear nail tip and cured for 60 seconds. I followed with applying a gel top coat to the entire underside of the tip and cured for 120 seconds.RemovalI grabbed a baggie, threw in some 100% pure acetone into it, heated up a bowl of water to as hot as I can usually stand it in the microwave on my regular dip powder removals, tossed the nail tip into the baggie and sealed it. I let it the baggie sit in the bowl of hot water for over five minutes. There was a small chemical reaction that occurred that was observable to the naked eye while watching it and was evidenced by bubbles emanating from the underside of the nail tip. So I figured I might have not entirely sealed off the entire nail with any product whatsoever. I removed the nail tip from the baggie using a pair of tweezers. Upon removal of the tip I placed into another small container that I use only for acetone and water and poured in some tap water. Another five minutes later I removed it and let it air dry for a few minutes.ResultsThis product did not even blink at being soaked in pure acetone for five minutes and subjected to temperatures of over 120F (probably more like 140F but I did not measure that). No top coat, just completely unaffected from that soak (picture #1). Meanwhile the underside of the nail tip that had only a gel base and top coat was indeed affected (picture #2). Finally picture #3 is after using a 100 grit manual nail file in attempt to remove the product from the nail tip. As you can see not much progress and you cannot see the clear nail tip itself.This leads me to conclude this product cannot be soaked off purely by exposure to 100% acetone alone. Product removal will, as I mentioned earlier, most likely require several iterations of filing with a 180 grit nail file, a few minutes soak in 100% acetone (with some coconut oil), and gentle and gradual removal using a steel or plastic cuticle pusher. For the soak I will approach that the same as I do with my dip powder nails when I remove those: toss in some acetone, a little coconut oil and a cotton ball and heat the acetone up by placing the baggie - with my hand - in a bowl filled with water as hot as I can stand it and constantly rub the product with the cotton ball during this period of soaking time. This method of removal is the best and fastest method that I know of to remove dip powder and maximum natural nail and plate safety, health and structural integrity.

Title: Love this gel
Review: Love this gel. It went on so easy. So smoothly. Be careful not to use too much because if youâre doing your whole hand and you used to much itâs going to start going down onto your fingers before you put it into the curer the UV light. This product has to be used with a base coat and a topcoat and when itâs done properly it hardens in 90 seconds . Just to be on the safe side I cure it for 3 minutes at the end using a clear top coat. And itâs not tacky and it looks beautiful. For best results do a few lighter coats together rather than one thick coat. I am buying them again in another color.

Review: As you can see in the photos, I did color swatches after two medium thick coats. They cured rock hard in my 48 watt uv/led lamp after 30 seconds, regardless of the color. I think the pink and peach colors would be the perfect cover pink mixed, so I tried that in the other swatch. Its hard to see from the photo but it turned out a dusty rose color- very pretty and perfect for a French or baby boomer. The clear actually has a slight pink tint and weirdly was filled with air bubbles which were hard to smooth out upon application. The white is surprisingly opaque, which I like a lot and will be good for French. These have a nice viscosity, similar to IBD if you're familiar with their builder and very good self leveling properties as well. It remains to be seen how they'll perform on my actual nail beds, but the jars give clear instructions- "must be used with gel base and top coat." I have Gellen's so I'll try that. So why only 4 stars? The pots, though clearly marked as 15ml are filled to barely 8ml. The pink was half empty. NOT impressed by that in the least. So beware. These would be good as a sample, but you'd need much larger sizes if you plan to do more than one, maybe two sets.

Review: I donât usually write reviews but I felt like I should for this gel. I honestly love it. This is the peach colour with no shellac over top. I just loved the way it looked on its own. If your used to using polys/gels/nail builders this is relatively easy to use. I did use a base coat under and so far has no signs of peeling or (popping) off. Seems as durable as an expensive biogel nail builder is was using before I tried this, so hopefully it holds up the same over time. Seems strong for now and I would definitely recommend for anyone else looking to skip the salon. I would have gave it all five stars but felt like a 4 star was needed in the easy to use category because If youâre new to gel builders you will need to be patient to figure out how to spread this product. If you know, itâs quite easy to use.Helpful tip if your gel still seems âtackyâ give it a quick wipe with acetone. It seemed to harden the gel right away even after curing 🙂
