Modelones Builder Nail Gel Kit - Clear Extension Kit Hard Gel for Nails 2oz Strengthen Acrylic Manicure Art Set with 100PCS Dual Forms and Dual-use Acrylic Brush Professional DIY at Home

Oh my gosh,,, listen up y’all. I’m usually the type of person that likes to just make a set of nails and glue them on but here lately with my job - that’s not working for me, because two days into having a set on they just pop off and we’ve all been there before so we know how frustrating it is. But when it comes to using this builder gel on your nails, it’s an absolute game changer. I have been using this for about 2 1/2 months now and I’ve literally just been filling my nails in when they grow out and they still look professional every single time. I’m getting so many compliments on my nails, because of how natural and professional they look with the builder gel, and not to mention the fact that there is absolutely no smell. Yes, it is sticky but you’ll get that when you work with gel in any form. I would honestly say that somebody who has been doing nails for a while it is easy for me, but for an absolute beginner starting out doing your nails, I would honestly go with a builder gel first before using an acrylic. I honestly would rather use this over poly gel also, but that’s just my opinion. It’s so easy to work with and is thick enough that it gives you time to mold the exact nail that you want without too much hassle. I’m absolutely in love with this stuff and so are the clients I use this product on.

I watched a utube video how to place stickers on nails I was able to get length I wanted it was very easy to do. If it's tacky use alcohol wipe. I thought it wasnt curing, it was. Then file Because first time it was all over place. I'm sure more I use the better I will be and they lasted 2 weeks came off easily. Didn't effect my nails at all as acrylics and press ons do. Worth it! If you want to protect your nails and have length this is it! Dip your brush in acetone often so it doesn't get hard. You can move it around more easily. If it's thin just add more to it.

I've been using Builder Gel to apply full cover tips for over a year. I have better control with gel in a pot instead of bottle, so I decided to try this. My tips as well as dehydrator and primer are from Modelones and I've always had success. I prepped the usual way, applied primer to the inside of the tip, applied a thin layer of the gel to my nails, cured, then applied the gel in the full cover as normal. No air bubbles and very little side spillage. Cured as normal and they looked great. A light amount of gel under the tip, nothing that couldn't be cleaned with an e-file. After I'd finished a couple of nails, I noticed a tip coming loose. I gave a slight wriggle and it popped off. I was left with a perfect hard gel nail! Gorgeous apex and only a little filing was needed to refine the shape and file under the perfect C curve. I know that primer helps the full cover tip adhere to the nail, so they should have stayed on. I tried a couple of nails with no primer under the tip and the same results. I know using full cover tips a duel forms hack and it definitely worked for giving me a flawless cuticle and apex. I will say after the quick cure to apply the tip, even with a full cure, only one tip was difficult to remove. I do wonder if true soft gel nails would have stayed on. I do not believe the nails I used are soft gel though (I got them with the Modelones kit with the base/builder in a bottle and lamp). The results are not what I was expecting, but beautiful none the less. I will try it again with soft gel nails to see what happens. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I was not able to get the tips to stay on and also because the consistency IS really sticky. The stickyness reminds me of polygel. I don't feel it's a product for beginners because can be quite messy if you're new to nails. However, using the gel for pop off nails, I am left with gorgeous nails.

The product itself is good. It does what it was meant to do which is be a hard gel/ builder gel. On the other hand though this is my first time trying out modelones and I’ve heard great things so I was excited to try out a product only to be super disappointed in the packaging … I opened the jar with difficulty due to what seemed like a stickyness just to find that there was product all along the lid and rim and inside of lid yet there was still a seal still on the actual product so I’m unsure how there was a mess of product if there was a seal. The product itself seemed not so full as well even though it was still sealed so I don’t know if somehow some product made a mess before it was sealed but it just made for a disappointing experience with the lack of gel and trying to clean up all the mess on the container before even being able to use it. And anyone who uses gel knows how much of a hassle it is to try and clean. Just wish it would have been better for such a well known and highly rated brand😔

Arrived same as picture forms and brush all in place nice gel

التعليب جداً سيء وما اعرف ايش مشكلته، استخدمته اول مره فقط، باقي المرات كلها ماني قادره استخدمه لأنه اعدم كل شيء رغم اني مقفلته كويس. الحمدلله اني حاطته في كيس لأن كل المنتج يسرب برا وما بقي منه ولا شيء

Best I’ve used . Even better in my opinion as a harder polygel with forms or a good morph between gel and acrylic , but easier to drill and apply .No smell and very easy to work with . Stays a little sticky which is normal till you uv polish or topcoat. Levels great . My skin is extremely sensitive to ingredients , can’t use dehydrators or do dipping powders system without burning cuticles and skin problems . This gel I have zero skin issues , has no odour , applies easy , stays strong with no lifting . I don’t and can’t use dehydrator because sensitive skin but this gel works as good or better if you lightly file natural nail ,clean nail with alcohol and use their Mondelone base coat first before applying gel. Best I’ve used and I’ve tried many .

alright, so i think the main issue people have is using a thick layer at first. i did it too, absolute disaster and had to file it down a lot to get it even. it’s a *builder* gel so the key is to use thin layers. when you do that, you get way better results. i don’t see this one in particular as the type that can compete with acrylics - it’s just too flexible unless you make it very thick. i didn’t really like it for extensions - i’d just add it over glue ons, but it’s a great support for your natural nails to help them grow or to make glue ons look natural. it dries really sticky - so just soak a cotton ball in acetone and wipe it over quickly - it’s not a top coat though, so i’m not sure why people are even complaining about that. you can use it over a base coat or as a base coat, then finish it off with top coat and you’re good.

Delivered as promised.
