Builder Rubber Gel Base Coat for Nails, Clear Rubber Base Gel Nail Polish for Strengthen/Apex Building/Enhance/Reinforced Long Lasting Fiber Protect Soak Off U V LED Gift for Thin Weak Nails

Decided I wanted to try doing my own gel nails. Researched a little and knew I wanted a product to strengthen them to help with growth and length. Bought this after reading the positive reviews- it was a great choice! I would consider myself an at-home ‘pro’ for painting my nails, but have never used gel or builder gel. Watched a how-to YouTube video and got to it. This was incredibly easy to use and the finished product looks salon worthy. Everyone assumes I got my nails done and it lasts easily two weeks, longer if I desire, even through hot tubs and chlorine. I got the clear color rubber coat and used it as a base with color and a top coat over it- otherwise alone it remains tacky, which I believe you can resolve with alcohol swipes but I can’t confirm that.

I purchased this rubber gel polish in two colors on a recommendation from Gemini when I asked about nail strengthening. I am the first to admit that I've done everything wrong with my nails: 10 years of gel manicures without any breaks; letting nail techs file nearly all of my nail layers off; wash dishes without gloves; trim cuticles; use an emory file. So I had a long chat with Gemini to sort out what may help get my nails back on track. I'm a business executive and really hate how bad my nails were looking! I now use jojoba oil multiple times a day on my nails and use hand cream, I went through a keratin rebuilding process, I wear rubber gloves when washing the dishes, and now I use rubber gel base. In my photo, the upper images are a layering of one layer of nude and one clear, and then coming back in a week and adding another layer of clear. I LOVE how thick it is. It never causes any pain when the light is curing this polish - some gel layers I've used in the past are really painful. Never any pain with this. I use a pH bond to dry out the nail first and then apply and cure two layers of this polish. Lasts a week or more without issue. I do soak off with acetone, and I feel this removes without much damage to the nail plate. I've been able to start growing out my nails again, and they seem stronger than ever! I also really like the effect of using nail stickers and then covering them with one layer of this clear rubber gel. The stickers are going to last forever, due to the thick polish. In the past, I just used a layer of gel topcoat, and then after a few days the top coat would chip and also chip the stickers. Using the rubber gel instead of a top coat really protects the stickers! And they look very cool, kind of like the stickers are suspended in gel. I have watched several videos on creating a bubble apex with this polish; I don't see a need for it as I don't mind the shape of my nails. Also a little bit challenging to get right at home. If you have nails that split on the sides, peel, or have ridges, you should try out this product. I've not had a single side split in the 3 weeks I've been using this product. That is a record for me! The flexible nature of this gel is really a better option for me than standard hard gels or semi-cured gel strips.

This is great stuff! It has worked fabulously as a base for my nails, which are not always the strongest. It’s buildable, and is the best stuff I found for preventing lifting .

This is a really good rubber base coat. It has a great consistency and creates a strong, smooth foundation for gel polish. It helps the polish adhere well and gives my nails extra strength without feeling bulky. Once I started using this, I didn’t feel the need to use any other base coat underneath. If you’re doing gel manicures and want something that strengthens and preps the nail in one step, this is a great option. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've used this twice. Pros - this base coat definitely seems better for your nail health than the standard gel base coat I had been using. My nails felt and looked SO much better after removal than they usually do (regular acetone soak). Cons - it doesn't last as long. The edges start lifting and peeling after about ten days or so. I just do a regular buff and acetone wipedown, and I don't use the dehydrator or primer, but I never have before with other base coats. I like changing up my nail color, so this isn't a big deal for me, but it could be a deal breaker for people that like to leave theirs on for as long as possible. Also - the 10mL bottles annoy me. I would rather pay extra for a 15mL bottle. I can see the little bottles for a polish you won't use often, but it's pointless for a base/top coat.

It's a burn product! Quite manageable and very good to work with! It has the perfect consistency and helped me grow my natural nails!! I leave you a photo as a sample!

Excellent product

This stuff works alright, but the bottle leaks if it is stored on its side, even if it's sealed very tightly. It doesn't make nails super thick, even with multiple coats.

Excelente! Deixa a unha muito firme para a esmaltacao.

as a certified aesthetician who doesn’t always want to spend too much money on higher end products for my own at home use, this one is honestly a good option! it’s easy to apply, holds well, especially great for people who want to grow out their natural nails :)

Has really helped me with my fragile nails.

Conheço a marca algum tempo e gosto bastante, o gel rubber é mto bom mesmo, bem flexivel e ao mesmo tempo resistente. Comprarei mais vezes
