modelones Builder Nail Gel with Gel Top and Base Coat, 3Pcs Gel Nail Kit for Thickening Apex Building Nail Extension Rhinestone Gel Nail Glue, LED Lamp Cured

I purchased the Modelones Builder Nail Gel Kit with Gel Top Coat (3pcs) for doing at-home manicures, and it’s been amazing. The clear builder gel is great for thickening, strengthening, and building an apex, giving my nails a professional look. The gel applies smoothly and levels nicely, making it easy to work with even if you’re not a professional. The top coat leaves a beautiful, glossy finish that lasts without chipping and the fact of how fast it dries without a sticky film. Meanwhile my nails are looking fabulous they are also fully protected and growing stronger and stronger each day. Overall, this is a great builder gel set for anyone doing nails at home. It delivers salon-quality results while saving time and money. Highly recommend!

FINALLY a product that gives you an EASY way to have Glorious Gorgeous Natural Nails. NO glue, no ill fitting tips that never seem to glue on straight or lay flat with full contact to your natural nail and no high-priced salons...they don't look fake because they aren't fake,, they are YOUR NATURAL nails given the strength they need to stay strong and beautiful. You gotta love it!!! I have thin brittle nails and a difficult time keeping my nails longer than a quarter inch without breaking, chipping or having them split. Since applying this product my nails are growing and feeling strong and extend past my fingertips. I can file or clip them shorter as they grow if they become too long and interfere with my crafting or typing. I have always wanted my natural nails to be long and strong and beautiful. The glue-on tips always left my natural nails soft and thin and tender. Highly recommend for those who have given up on salon and/or DIY glue-on nails. I Here's what worked for me: My application method consisted of filing my nails, pushing the cuticles back and cleaning with alcohol. Then I applied each coat (base, builder, top coat) continuing to brush the excess off and wiping the excess on the brush against the bottle top. I made sure my nail tips were fully covered without any dry spots. I then cured until they were no longer tacky to touch. I then let rest for 15-30 minutes to cool and set completely. The whole process took me about two hours and now I have GORGEOUS NATURAL nails. More time than the instructions tell you but way worth it!!! I will say the curing time under the lamp was way off, at least with the lamp I used which was brand new and not one of those dinky ones, taking several 90-second rounds to achieve a non-tacky feel to the touch. I work with resin making jewelry and stuff so I am familiar with the product/lamp process and will say it is important to make sure each level or coat is fully cured before applying the next coat. The instructions don't emphasize this and they don't tell you to wait 10 -15 minutes or longer for each coat to cool and set before applying the next. In my experience, each coat should be cured to a non-tacky touch to be fully cured. Hope that helps.

Removing a star as the builder gel is alot funnier than I had expected and described making it much harder to gather the bead required to actually build the nail apex and acjeive an even application. The consistency also makes it much easier to flood the nail bed. The base and top coats are great quality and the builder gel is a true clear as described in the listing. The size was accurate and the bottles and brushes are great quality. Due to the consistency I find that my nails do not last as long as with other builder gel and lift or Crack easier which requires more filling, and shaping and evening the finish is more time consuming.

I really like this product over the other popular one I tried (I have only tried two brands- this one and the one with the insect name 😉😉😉). I feel this one lifts less than the insect one. Quality seems superior to me too. I have only been doing gel nails on myself for about 4 or 5 months and I am still learning but this one makes it easier somehow. I also feel the self-leveling in this product is also better. Thick consistency as expected with gels. Odor is less than the insect one. Application is easy- I just use like a nail polish for first coat, shape, then build apex with second coat. Shared a picture and this is after about 1.5 weeks. I wash dishes and do lots of things with my nails that I shouldn’t so the longevity is pretty good for me. I probably do a fill every 2.5 weeks. Don’t look too closely or you’ll see my old fills that have grown out where I wasn’t able to file very well bc I was still learning, not due to this product at all. And yes, I need to trim my cuticles and they are dry. I’ve also tried on of their nude color building gel and it is pretty but not for me. I prefer just au natural on my hands- no color.

Not that hard to use. My left is the better of the two because I’m right dominant. Can only do one nail at a time if this is your first time using it. Could get away with two if you’re really good/experienced but wouldn’t recommend. I accidentally ordered clear instead of the nude one so seeing the product was harder than other gels I’ve used in the past. It self levels really well when you flip your hand over for a couple of seconds. You can see where I had to add length to my middle and pinky finger and it’s holding up really well. You have to use a form if you are adding length to your natural nails. It’s been a week. I work in healthcare so just wanted something to add strength to my nails for constant hand washing which causes my nails to become soft and break a lot. My nails are really soft and not that thick naturally so this is perfect. I haven’t been able to have longer nails in years so I’m really happy with this product. The builder gel also doesn’t have the heaviness that other gels and acrylics seem to have either.
