Builder In A Bottle Soak-Off Sculpting Gel For Quick Nail Extension, Repair And Strengthening | Long-Lasting Builder Gel With Brush-On Application | Salon-Quality Nails At Home (18ml)

This product is completely worth the money! It is a wonderful product it's not runny it doesn't pool into your cuticles easily this is a wonderful product and it's so beginner friendly!

This is my second bottle and it’s a game changer! As soon as my nails reach a certain length I use the Orly Fx as a structure overlay for my nails. It’s super beginner friendly and crystal clear! The gel is the perfect viscosity which self levels on its own and following the instructions of BIAB never floods my cuticle or side walls or leaves bubbles. Paired with the correct primer I get absolutely no lifting!! I do have to say due to my primer sometimes it takes a bit longer to soak off. Perfect for beginners! Like any other gel product please use caution and avoid your skin like it’s lava!!! I’ve NEVER experienced heat spikes with this builder gel. Have always come back to it and always will. Update: wanted to provide an update on how long my natural nails have grown using this BIAB!!! Longest ever and every time I remove the builder gel my nails are strong and healthy!!!

I love it. My nails got stronger and harder after using this product compared to the other builder gels.

Tools used: -Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover -Cuticle pusher -Cuticle nippers -Drying nail primer -emery board and e-file -SunUV lamp -Isopropyl Alcohol/cotton pads The situation: To start, my nails are terrible. I have incredibly thin, ridged nails that break the moment they reach past the tips of my fingers and are prone to splitting. I also work in a shipping & receiving position so my hands endure a lot of abuse and a ton of handwashing. In short, they’re just too damaged for gel/acrylic sets and normal polish (even gel) will chip within a few days due to the flexibility of my nails and don’t protect them from breaking. The goal: To help grow my sad nails and protect them while I work on improving the underlying issues of vitamin deficiencies. The Method and First Impressions: I began with a few rounds of cuticle removal as mine was pretty overgrown and untended. Any leftover cuticle will cause peeling! And then I just went for it - thin first layer, 30 sec cure, and wipe off sticky residue with alcohol. Second layer was supposed to be my final layer to help build that apex (and to fill any funny lumps/gaps), but it was a small learning experience so a few nails got a third layer. To build the apex I suggest putting a small glob in the center, wipe your brush of excess and then just push it around until it looks smooth, focusing on keep as much in the center as possible. This stuff is very easy to move around but isn’t so thin that it’s hard to manage. Tease the gel around until it looks okay and PRO TIP - hold your hand upside down to help the gel naturally gravitate to where the apex should be. Then cure again! I didn’t apply color as my job is finicky about nail colors but even clear it is fantastic! The ridges on my nails are pretty severe so you can definitely see them through the clear gel but not nearly as badly. I’ll update my review later on to include how well they survive the wear and tear of my job but for now I couldn’t be more impressed. Aside from my shaky hands and lack of professional experience, my nails look absolutely fantastic.

This does work and is easier to work with than typical builder gel for a beginner like myself. However, you might need more coats than you would think. It’s really great if you tend to have some ridges in your nails (like me) and don’t care to file your nails down which makes them quite thin. The other obvious downside is that you can’t add any length to your nails. Still, it does serve its purpose. It doesn’t chip off, is easy to use and creates a really nice smooth nail bed to add polish to or even leave as is with a clear top coat. I do use a base coat under this and cure each thin layer until I have the desired look. I took off one star because it’s a bit thinner than I hoped it would be. I’m undecided if I’d buy this again or try a different brand. I do love Orly and have used a lot of their products.

This is so easy to work with. Perfect consistency

Great product, exactly as described. Very happy with my purchase!

GOOD STUFF!!!! This is very very VERY good to apply directly onto natural nails without a tip!! It will make your natural nails very tough and strong and thick! Great base before applying gel polishes. I will update on any chipping/ issues for 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks. I paired this with Aimeili PH bonder, the orly buffer, 2 coats Aimeili 019 and 2 coats Aimeili 22 for a beautiful pastel pink similar to OPI bubble bath except better!!! 2 weeks: this gel is pretty much unbreakable. My polish is still on and everything. Also it looks like I have naturally beautiful, thick and durable nails with my pastel pink aimieli polish. I'm sort of wondering how I pulled this off at home!! This is at least $50 at the salon's and they usually don't do a good job at all. 4 weeks: my nails keep lifting after a few days. They stay on for over 2 weeks but i can put my nail inbetween the gel and my nail by a few days. I great blogger said if you have thin nails that are fragile and not strong (mine) use this builder in a thinner fashion. I've been pouring this builder with the bead and all and this is why my gel wants to literally pop off. Trying a thinner coat of builder gel at 6 weeks ( in two weeks ) this is all trial and error until you become a beast!!! #teamnonailsalonseverforme 6 weeks: 8 weeks

Great product that is worth the money. It was easy to use and allowed me to get a salon look whilst also adding strength to my nails prior to applying gel colour. I haven’t used to extend any nails so can’t comment on the ease of this. If I were to extend I would purchase the stickers which guide you rather than applying on its own.

Works just as well as any high quality hard gel👍 Easy to use, file, and no lifting if done properly.. But a bit pricey for the size.

Gel assez liquide et ne tient pas longtemps.

Es un buen producto

Unfortunately this builder gel didn’t last at all chipped the next day which is disappointing don’t buy it
