What is builder gel?

Builder gel is a thicker gel which is used to create extra nail length, structure and strength for nails.   It can be applied on natural nails or used for short extensions, providing durability and a natural look. It is applied as a regular in-fill for new growth rather than stripping away the entire nail polish, which is better overall for protecting your natural nails.
