What does builder gel do?

Builder gel is applied over your natural nail to create a structured overlay. Unlike gel color alone, the material can be shaped to build a measured apex and reinforce the nail while keeping the finished result thin and balanced. It works with the length you already have rather than adding a full extension.

Prepare

We begin with dry cuticle preparation and shape your natural nails before applying the builder gel.

Build

Builder gel is applied and shaped over the natural nail. The apex and overall profile are adjusted to the nail instead of simply adding a thick layer of product.

Finish

Finish with gel color or a nail design. French, chrome and other available design options can be selected when you book.

Which manicure should you book?

The main difference is whether you want gel color, more structure or additional length. Each service works with the natural nail differently.

Before you book

A couple of practical details can help you choose the right appointment and add-ons.

When should builder gel be maintained?

Builder gel grows out with your natural nail. At your next appointment, we assess the existing product and rebalance the structure based on your nail growth and how the manicure has worn.

What if I already have product on my nails?

If you need existing gel, builder gel or other product removed before the service, select the appropriate removal option when booking so enough appointment time can be reserved. Removal is priced separately.
