Beetles Builder Gel for Nails,0.51 oz 8 in 1 Strengthening Nails Enhancement Building Apex for Beginners & DIY Salon Manicure,Clear Builder Nail Gel,LED & UV Lamp Needed

I’ve been using this builder gel for a bit now and I actually really like it. It functions the way it should and gives my nails a nice strong base without feeling heavy. It stays put and holds up pretty well during the week which is all I really need. It’s pretty easy to apply too. The gel levels itself just enough to help smooth everything out so even if you are not super experienced it still looks decent. I didn’t feel like I was fighting with it or rushing before it got gloopy. For the price I think it is good value for money. You get enough product to last a while and it performs just as well as some of the more expensive brands I have tried. The look is nice and clean. The finish leans more matte before you put a top coat on which I like because it is easier to see the shape. It also dries clear so it can work with pretty much any polish on top. The smell is not bad either. It definitely has a nail product scent but it is way lighter than some of the really strong builder gels out there so it did not bug me at all. Overall I think this is a solid option if you want something easy to use that gives good results without spending a ton. I would buy it again.

Salon-quality builder gel at home? YES please. This formula is thick but easy to control, cures beautifully, and gives me strong, natural-looking nails that last weeks. The consistency is perfect for overlays or building structure. A must for at-home nail girlies.

I purchased this builder gel along with a full beetles gel kit when I moved and couldn't find the box I had packed all of my home nail supplies. I have purchased several beetles gel kits in the past for different seasonal colors, so I should have expected the quality of this builder to be good, but I was still pleasantly surprised by the ease of application when I cracked this bottle. Builder gel is always thick and takes practice to get the hang of applying the correct amount for that clean, salon look, but this is the easiest one to apply/build that I've ever used, and lasts a couple weeks. Pictured, I used all beetles colors on top of this builder gel for my manicure that I did 2 weeks ago and it still looks great.

Very good product, it’s easy to apply. The only thing I can say that’s negative is that it peels very easily after a couple days if you really pick at your nails and when you screw the lid back on it always spills out a little. Otherwise I love this product

I love beetles builder gel. It works great! As long as you follow the instructions you will not have any problems. It’s very good quality, it’s thick enough and after I read the instructions my nails came out fabulous! The one tip I felt is very important is after put the builder gel on you need to hold your finger upside down for 30 seconds. That helps the builder gel to balance itself on the nail so it evens itself out before putting in under the uv lights. I heard about builder gel in Europe, I had my nails done there and loved them. When I got back to the states nobody in my area uses builder gel, so I had to do them myself! I opened my amazon app and searched for builder gel , this brand was highly rated. I get better at doing them myself all the time. Very happy with the quality, the colors are great, it dries quickly under the UV lights only 1 minute per layer, that includes your base coat 1 minute, builder gel 1 minute and top coat 1 minute. The price is very reasonable for what you’re getting. The bottle size is an average size for nail products and it lasts a long time. The texture is good, as I said it is just thick enough. I am so happy with this product, I have bought quite a bit of it on Amazon.

Work great, I have the whole Beetles system including their UV light. The system that works for me is: dehydrator x2, primer, base (uv), builder x2 (uv btwn coats), color x2 (uv btwn coats), top coat (uv). Do thin coats of anything that needs uv or else it can burn, especially this builder gel. Takes about an hour to do my own nails but I am pretty particular about shaping, filing, cutting cuticles, etc. so that is a lot of my time. This bottles of builder are large and last a long time even using two coats. They are sticky to apply and are a little tacky after curing under uv to allow for color coat to adhere. Have had great results using this system. I’ve only done my nails 2x in three months. These make my nails super strong!!! Get yourself a good soak off to remove these! Really love the extra tools that come with this set as well!

Its a pretty good product, however it got some flaws. For one, the product had a tendency to run down the sides of the bottle when I wipe off the excess from the brush. I don’t know why exactly and other BIABs from different brands don’t do it, so I guess it has to do with the design of the packaging. Secondly, it’s a pretty high viscosity, which I guess is personal preference however for me it doesn’t self level as well as I would like. However, it dries as it should in the lamp, even with the high viscosity it’s workable, on the plus side it doesn’t flood the cuticles as easily because it stays in place and you get a longer time to work it and it’s a nice color. It’s also very affordable. I don’t know if I would buy again tho.

I this builder gel in a bottle is impressive and performs really well, especially in comparison to other more expensive brands that I have tried before. The formula of this builder gel is slightly runnier than others I have tried but once you get used to the consistency it is easy to use. I found that this gel requires little filing after curing, only having to file a little bit on the side because it ran onto the side of my nail a little bit. I used a base and top coat and only the builder gel and you can see from the photos that the colour is highly pigmented and a nice baby pink colour. The gel is stronger than others I have tried before which is surprising because of the cost so this is really good value. I will definitely buy again and hope to get the clear and a neutral/nude colour.

Débutante dans l’Onglerie, j’ai voulu acheter ce gel pour les faire moi-même, attention à ne pas trop en mettre car cela chauffe horriblement, très facile à utiliser, on adore

Me encantó este esmalte semipermanente. Tiene un brillante duradero. Se aplica fácilmente, no se levanta con los días y deja un acabado profesional como de salón. ¡Lo recomiendo!

La texture est top, je recommande fortement en une couche, elle est super couvrante

Il est très beau et solide. Seul bémol, il fait mal à la catalysation.
