  • Q&A

    Q: What is builder gel in a bottle?
    A: It’s a soft gel you apply like a polish—thin, self-leveling, soak-off—and it performs like a builder gel in a jar. Easy, clean, fast. No pots, no mess.

    Q: How do you use builder gel in a bottle?
    A: Clean and prep. Paint on thin coats. Cure under LED/UV. Add layers for strength or small extensions. Soak off later—no drilling needed.

    Q: Is builder gel the same as hard gel?
    A: No. Hard gel must be filed off. Builder-in-a-bottle is soft gel—soak-off, flexible, protective, and designed to absorb shock, not crack like hard gels.

    Q: How long does builder-in-a-bottle last?
    A: Expect up to four weeks of durable wear—twice as strong as standard BIAB. Perfect for serious clients or daily wear.

    Q: Can you build extensions with this soft gel?
    A: Yes. It’s strong enough for small extensions (up to ~5 mm)—and low profile so it looks natural, not bulky.

    Q: Will this work on thin or cracked nails?
    A: Absolutely. Thin viscosity, flexible formula is great for reinforcing or repairing weak nails without weight or stiffness. Professional-grade, pro-fast.
