What Is Builder Gel?

Builder gel is a strengthening overlay applied to your natural nails. It adds structure and support without the bulk of a traditional enhancement, so your nails look natural while being protected as they grow.

It’s a great fit if your nails bend, split or break easily, or if you want a durable base under your favorite gel color.
