Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is Builder Gel?
A: It is a thicker, stronger gel product designed for creating durable nail extensions, overlays, and strengthening the natural nail. Unlike regular gel polish, builder gel provides structure and support, making it ideal for sculpting longer nails or reinforcing weak nail plates.
Q: How do you use Gel?
A: Start by prepping the natural nail — clean, buff, and apply a base coat. Then apply a thin layer of gel and cure under a UV or LED lamp. You can build the nail by adding additional layers, curing each time. Once the structure is complete, shape and file the nails, then finish with a top coat for a flawless finish.
Q: How do you remove Gel?
A: Begin by filing the top layer to break the seal, then soak your nails in acetone for 15–20 minutes. Use a cuticle pusher to gently remove the softened gel. Avoid forcing or peeling, as this can damage the natural nail. Finish by hydrating your nails with cuticle oil.
Q: How long does it last?
A: With proper application and care, gel can last up to 3–4 weeks without lifting or chipping. Longevity depends on factors like nail prep, application technique, and aftercare (such as using cuticle oil and avoiding harsh chemicals).
Q: Is Builder Gel the same as BIAB?
A: Not exactly. Builder Gel and BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) are similar in that both strengthen and build the nail. However, Builder Gel is typically slightly thicker and more traditional for sculpting extensions, whereas BIAB is often used for strengthening natural nails with a slightly lighter, brush-on consistency. Belle Beauty offers both, so you can choose based on the look and strength you want to achieve!
Q: Can I use Gel to extend nails without tips?
A: Yes! It can be used with nail forms to sculpt extensions directly from the natural nail without using plastic tips. This technique creates a strong, seamless extension with a more natural curve.
Q: What lamp should I use to cure Belle Beauty's Gel?
A: Our Gel Collection is compatible with both UV and LED lamps. Belle Beauty's UV Nail Lamp is perfect for curing your gel manicures.
Q: Can beginners use Gel?
A: Absolutely! While gel requires a bit more precision than regular polish, Belle Beauty’s self-levelling formula makes it beginner-friendly. With a little practice, even at-home users can achieve strong, professional-looking nails.
