Builder gel to grow natural nails?
Builder gel is a modern way to strengthen natural nails that won’t grow. It can also be used to even out imperfections such as unsightly ridges and to create the perfect base.
Simply prep your nail plate and apply 1-2 layers of a builder gel like 2AM Build It Baby directly to the natural nails as an overlay. Cure each layer for 60 seconds then seal the deal with a topcoat for a natural look or add a splash of colour to enhance that design.
Builder gel as an alternative to acrylic extensions?
Build it Baby can be used alongside 2AM’s Next Level Forms to achieve the perfect sculpt to extend the length of the nails. Add the builder gel to the nail form then transfer to the nail, applying a little pressure before curing under the lamp for 60 seconds. Pop the form off and continue to add structure by layering Build it Baby until you’ve achieved the client’s desired look and strength. Each additional layer should be cured for 60 seconds and finish the look with your favourite gel polish colour and topcoat.
