GAOY Builder Gel for Nails, 16ml Nail Strengthener in a Bottle, Nail Extension Hard Gel, Soak Off Long Lasting UV Light Cure, 1731 Milky White, Base Coat Top Coat Needed

I love this brand! Great quality and fairly easy to work with. I’m new to builder gel and it’s a very thick sticky consistency, but was able to figure it out pretty quickly. I found that if a layer goes on too thick it’s very easy to thin and spread out with the paintbrush. Accomplished this look with 2 layers of the milky white builder gel and a top coat. Very natural and low key which is exactly what I was going for and lasted for 12 days before one nail chipped a tiny bit, which was probably user error as I got the polish too close to my skin on that nail. Other 9 were still perfectly intact. Highly recommend this product!

I really love this builder gel, it’s easy to apply, doesn’t run, and cures perfectly under the lamp. My nails look beautiful, and the most important last a long time, definitely recommend.

Easy to apply, strong, and long-lasting. Perfect for building nails with a smooth finish. Good size excellent coverage.

I LOVE the color. It's so natural and beautiful. If you layer it too thick it doesnt cure properly. I did cure them more than recommended and cured each layer one at a time (base, color, top). I bought this to preserve my natural nail. Hoping it lasts a while. I dont care for the brush because it doesnt evenly apply the color so its easy to have chunky spots. Mind you, I'm a beginner and dont have any experience with gel. Affordable. But... not sure how many uses I'll get from it. Less than $20 for all 3 (base, color, top) so it's a win either way.

I was honestly a bit disappointed with the performance of this builder gel considering that GOOD has a lot of other really good products.It might be that I used the modelones bade coat underneath the builder gel, but for all my other nail products this has never happened and I use multiple different brands. The builder gel does peel/lift after a few days and sometimes even after a single day after application. I've been applying them for the sake of growing out my nails so they're still relatively short but still the product will still peel.

I bought this set from this brand because I have bought other sets from GAOY and was pleased. The builder gels comes safely packaged, unopened with no spills. Each gel color is clearly labeled on side of the bottle. I like the assortment of colors even though they are all very nude/pinkish. I liked this "Jelly" type of builder gel for it's sheerness and versatility. The viscosity was medium, not super thick but not thin and runny either. It was easy to apply but I don't know if more than 2 layers would look good on me, probably would get too bulky.I bought builder gel because I saw that you can buff it out and take breaks in between adding your design and topcoat. I was able to put on a base coat with 2 layers of builder gel, buff them and then take a break. This allowed me to get up and stretch out, have a snack and give my back a break without messing up my hard work. I attached a photo with my right hand complete with design and top coat next to my 2 layers of builder gel buffed out on my left hand. I left my hand in buffed builder gel overnight, washed my hands and wiped my nails down with 91% alcohol before applying my design and topcoat with success. Now I no longer have to sit and do my entire hand for 4 hours. I can take breaks or even wait overnight to complete my nails as long as I thoroughly clean them so I don't cure my nails with bacteria on them possibly causing green nails.If you want very natural looking nails, I feel 2 coats of 1800 buffed out with a matte or glossy topcoat would achieve that affect.If you are planning on doing a builder gel overlay there are lots of video tutorials on YouTube which made me comfortable to give it a shot. Builder gel is not totally beginner friendly as there is a process to it and if you don't do it correctly it could look bumpy. This was my first attempt at it and while it wasn't perfect, it turned out a lot better than if I just YOLO'd it.Hope you found this review helpful and have a beautiful day.

This is my second purchase of this product and it works great. It protects your nails and keeps them from breaking.

The media could not be loaded. I recently removed my acrylics and was looking to help thicken my nails with this nail builder. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it is very thick and sticky. I found it hard to apply but I did get the hang of it. The color is pretty and what I expected it to look like. It lasted about a week but that’s typical for me and gel. I applied two coats to achieve the thickness I wanted and it looked and felt great.
