ORLY GelFX Builder In a Bottle Intro Kit | Sculpting Builder Gel for Nail Extensions and Gel Overlay (Intro Kit)

I went into this ORLY GelFX Builder In a Bottle Intro Kit with realistic expectations, knowing that builder gel requires a bit of patience and technique—and I’m so glad I did. After carefully following the instructions and curing properly with a nail lamp, the results were truly fantastic. I honestly don’t believe in going to salons anymore after seeing how professional these nails turned out. Once applied correctly, the builder gel creates a very solid, strong, and durable finish that looks incredibly polished. The structure and strength are impressive, making it perfect for nail extensions or gel overlays. Best of all, the final result looks so professional that all my friends asked if I had them done at a salon. There is a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, the outcome speaks for itself. Taking your time and following the directions makes all the difference. I’m extremely happy with this product and would absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants long-lasting, salon-quality nails at home.

After several years of doing my own nails, I decided I was ready to try builder gel. I researched different brands and Orly kept being mentioned as a top contender. The kit was more expensive than I’d typically go for a nail product, but this is proof that you get what you pay for. It took some getting used to and a couple YouTube videos, but the results were stunning. And now that my nails are built and shaped it will be so much easier to fill and rebalance rather than building from scratch. I highly recommend this product, and am so glad I got it!

Good! Last you a long time and worth the price!

I really like this product. I’ve been using it for about a month now. It’s been really durable which I love. It’s crystal clear and as long as you don’t shake the bottle it doesn’t get many bubbles in it. I’ve had some issues arise with application and consistency the builder gel is self leveling but I have had issues getting my nails to look even and uniform. I’ve noticed this being more of an issue when I’m trying to add more length to my natural nails. I’ve also learned that you should have some qtips handy when you’re doing this to wipe excess gel off you cuticles and the skin around your nails. The first time I applied a set of these I didn’t do a very good job keeping it away from my cuticles and as time went on I noticed the spot where the gel was on my skin peeled up and that really messed with the integrity of the rest of the nail. All in all it’s pretty easy to use with some practice. It seems like a really great alternative to going to the nail salon every three weeks for a fill.

I have tried so many products; looking for something that strengthened my natural nail, looked professional, and lasted. This product is all of that. I do not experience lifting like the polygel products and it does not cause nail damage. It lasts much longer than other product

Good product. But better instructions are needed

I am not a nail tech or have experience doing my own nails. I have very brittle nails and so I always have my nails done at the salon. Since COVID my nails have been just terrible. They were so bad that I was embarrassed to post a before pic. I had seen this on FB a while back and read some review and went on your tube and looked up some of the videos to see if it was really as easy as they say and make it look.... and it really is... you guys this is the most amazing product ever. I followed the direction to clean and prep my nails and apply the tips. Then followed the direction applying the builder. It was easy and simple. No gooping, no overflow, no mess at all. I am so in LOVE with this product and how easy and simple it is to use...and how much money I save. From now on I will be doing my own nails with this product. If I can do it anyone can do it.

This products separates from the natural nail tips within the first 24hrs. When I used it to build extensions it worked perfectly but the purpose of my purchase was to provide my natural nails with more structure since my nails are very thin and brake and crack easily. I wont be repurchasing this brand again. I actually purchased this after the Orly Bodyguard did the same thing, I thought the Builder gel would be better but it’s not. Don't waste your money if you want to use it for overlays.

Video shows my nails after one day. I was able to achieve this look using all the items in the kit and the SUNUV SUN3 professional LED light sold on Amazon. The nail length I went for is a 2 on the perfect fit forms for reference. Took 2.5 hours and I’ve never used builder gel before, so I’m sure it’ll get easier and faster with more practice. Also, the Mastering ORLY Builder in a Bottle tutorial on YouTube was a Godsend and absolutely contributed to these amazing results! I will be posting pictures of these nails after applying OPI Gelement and will give an update on how they hold out for the next 3 weeks! Hope this is helpful to anyone who has been struggling with nail salon quality and wants to take matters into their own hands. :)

First time I’ve done my own nail extensions, and first time with gel. It’s so easy to use and I am thrilled with the results. Can’t imagine doing them any other way! With this kit you have everything you need.

Really good product

As someone who has been using gel polish for a few years, I wanted to try doing my own gel nails. I am slowly getting better at it I think. The builder in a bottle is somewhat easy to work with. Be prepared for a learning curve. I spent like 2.5 hours on my nails the first time!
