BORN PRETTY Builder Gel for Nails,8-in-1 Clear Builder Nail Gel

I bought this for gluing flat backs securely to my nails & @ least partial encapsulation. Since it's 8 in 1, I gambled on trying it as my base coat (60 sec in 57 bulb led lamp after prep - 90% alcohol, dehydrator & primer). Very thick & tacky even when u wipe on bottle edge so gently file down tips as needed bc it will build out but can be hard to get just a thin layer down. That base layer is great! Tacky enough to hold my mani & accent jewels for 3 weeks! I swim for 2 hrs Every week. I hand wash clothes in hot-warm water at least 4x week. I trim plants from the garden & bonsai. I use my nails as tools, openers. basically everything yr not supposed to do with yr nails so this as a base coat kicks a** & no chipping or lifting for 3 weeks & needless to say the flatbacks on my accent nails stayed securely where I placed them. Once u place flatbacks as desired flash cure for 5-10 secs & do the same to all fingers on that hand. When that hand is done, cure 50-60 secs to fully cure glue. If ur encapsulating, nice thin layers of top coat covering tips & all edges. My thumbs & index finger look as good as day 1 except for new growth & I think I could've filed away the Polish & done a fill if I didn't give my natural nails breathing room. Great price for a 10ml glass bottle & a great product that exceeds my expectations fr!! Recommend if u want ur nail jewels to stay put, want a terrific base that hangs for weeks, or have been wondering if BIAB will work for u, this product right here. 💡🏁🎯💪💅⬆⬆⬆⬆ FOLLOW UP NOTE: I warmed this up with my gel polishes in my pocket for abt 1/2 hr and it was much less thick & went on nice and not as thick as the 1st few times I tried. STILL HIGHY RECOMMEND. I took this on an overseas vacation for 2 weeks w 99% alcohol in a little emptied spray bottle (reduce, reuse, recycle!), nail file, this as a base, black polish, a glitter coat bc it was the holidays, a top coat and a mini uv light and my nails looked great the whole time. I've got it down to abt 15 min to fix any chips or displaced polish. It fits in a sandwich bag and is def worth the packing space!!

Better and easier to work with than I thought it would be. Lasts without lifting! Definitely will buy again!

This product is amazing! Would definitely buy again. Super easy to use, durable.

No complaints ! Super durable, stays on my nails for weeks. Applying it takes some practice, my first few tries or turned out lumpy but I have since practiced and it appears very smooth. Great value. I save money doing my own nails rather than going to the salon. I work as a nurse, and I work in the yard and swim and this is the only product that has allowed my nails to grow out. The photo is builder gel underneath my gel polish and chrome. I have four stars just because it took me some practice.

This is the best thing ever to apply to your natural nails to strengthen them to grow long. It must be made with Samson’s seed because it’s that strong friends!

I don’t like it! It never drys! Leaves stickiness on hands & fingers. It doesn’t work for me! Don’t recommend it! 1 out of 10.

Tried this for the first time. I’ve been doing gel for a while, and stopped for a year because my nails get so fragile. I tried this after a friends recommendation and it was game changer, the gel lasts longer and the nails get harder as well, like the powder effect.

Super me encanto

Easy to use I will buy more when I run out

Very good
