How To Use Builder Gel With Cured Gel Strips
💖 The Story Of Builder Gel 💖
Builder gel can be used a variety of ways - but often times we are reminded of our time at the nail salon when our nail tech would use builder gel to create our nail extensions. However, builder gel can be used to add volume to your manicure, make it longer lasting or extra glossy. You can absolutely use builder gel as a way to extend your manicure or put it on top of glue on extensions and then use your semicured gel nail stickers on top.
💖 How To Use Builder Gel 💖
If you're new to the builder gel world - we'd recommend using a builder gel that comes in a bottle. It's much easier to apply and control the thickness. You can apply various layers if you want more of an acrylic look. Between each layer be sure to cure under a UV nail lamp for at least 90 seconds. Then, apply your favorite gel top coat and get that ultra glossy look. If you want to try out a super easy to use builder gel - check out our glass builder gel here.
