If you want to make your nails look strong and healthy, builder gel is the perfect way to give them a smooth, stunning look for any occasion. Builder gel hardens more than regular gel polishes, so it protects your nails even better while giving them an attractive appearance. Before you use any builder gel on your nails, there are a few tips and tricks to get the perfect finish. Keep reading, and we’ll cover how to apply builder gel step by step so your nails look amazing when you’re finished.
Things You Should Know
- Coat your nails with a thin layer of primer and a base coat of builder gel after roughing them up with a file. Apply nail forms or artificial tips to add extensions.
- Spread the builder gel in an even layer so it’s thickest near the center of each nail. Cure the nails under an LED light or UV lamp for 1–2 minutes.
- Shape the tips of your nails with a file. Finish up by applying a top coat or gel nail polish and curing it for 1–2 minutes.
