IBD Building Gel, Hard Gel Nail Extension, Sheer Pink, 0.5 oz

I love this product! Sheer pink is so pretty by itself or under polish to help the color pop. This builder gel in a bottle is also easy to use if you have a gap between gel tips and natural nails by cuticles. This can be because of bad nail sizing or plainly messing up last minute when attaching the nail tip and it got cured before you can fix it. Just apply a gloop where natural nails and gel tip meet near cuticle and thin out product to remaining of the nail. Once cured, file to smooth out nail, viola!

I’ve gotten a few different builder gels and this one if my favorite! If you’re used to getting builder gel at the salon, this one is a medium consistency. Not as thick as the stuff at the salon but not as liquid as some others in a bottle that I’ve tried. This one makes it more user friendly in my opinion and less room for error. Prep is definitely key to make these last also less is more! I’m going on 4 (almost 5 weeks) from my last nail appointment and currently on maternity leave. Decided to try and fill my nails myself and if these last, I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to the nail salon! This photo is the product filled over my salon builder gel (before polish). This light pink is beautiful! A little more shear than the builder gel I got at the salon but that doesn’t matter since I’ll be polishing over it. This is 3 coats and buffed. I like that you don’t need a nail drill to smooth these out. I just used a nail file. I’ll update in a few weeks to see how they hold up. Overall super pleased!

Easy to use, my clients love it, and I like that it can be soaked off with acetone. I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like the pink one is thicker than the clear one.

I liked this product am I in love ? No the “pink” looks very pale and takes multiple layers to get “pink” also it just lifts a lot got this to protect my nails but with it lifting it just doesn’t do that I can’t even shower without the lift tugging out hair. And yes I capped off the tips multiple times and cured it it just chips off I even changed my nail shape bc I thought it would help prevent lifting but no if you’re in ur nail growth journey like I am if ur nails grow fast like mine but break fast too I’d buy their hard gel in a pot not this very fun to use though and easy and it definitely self levels :)

I'm new to doing my own nails. Using this builder to strengthen my nails. I found a good tutorial you tube video. Was fairly easy to apply and lasted 2weeks before new growth was showing. I'm not a fan of the color since it starts to look dingy, almost cloudy grey. I didn't put a gel color on top but I will next time. Cured easily with led and removal was easy using nail dremel. Over all I'm pleased with it's durability and easy to use brush/bottle. I plan on seeing how long I can grow my own nails using this builder gel.

The brush dries up and needs clean more frequently than expected but otherwise gel is GREAT! Just have some extra brushes your first time using.

Ordered the Cover Pink and it’s a very light pink almost clear color but it looks good and was easy to apply. Use a uv/led bonder or base in order for it to not lift.

I love IBD gels and this one has great quality for the price. It builds well and cures evenly. However, the Soft White shade is a bit tricky to work with. It’s not as creamy or opaque as I expected, so it can take a few layers to get the right look, and it’s a little harder to control compared to other colors. Still, once you get the hang of it, the result is beautiful — perfect for baby boomer or French styles. Just be prepared to spend a bit more time on application.
