Builder gel is a type of gel polish with a thick viscosity that is used to create length, thickness or strength on your natural nails or nail enhancements (i.e nails tips). Builder gel can be separated into two categories, builder gel or builder gel in a bottle (BIAB) and hard gel.

Typically, builder gel in a bottle is a thick gel that adds strength to the nails or nail enhancements and can be soaked off with acetone. Builder gel in a bottle is a softer gel, but it creates a much stronger overlay on the nails than traditional gel nail polish so it&#;s great for helping your natural nails grow. If you&#;re a nail-biter, it&#;s also a sound option to protect your nails because it&#;s too rigid to bite through.
Builder gel comes in different colors but clear, nude and light pink shades are the most common shades in comes in. Builder gel can be used like your average nail polish, or you can apply a layer to strengthen your nails (called an overlay) and top it off with a traditional gel or nail polish to add color or trendy nail art. It can also be used to create short gel extensions or as a glue to bond pre-shaped gel extensions to the natural nail.
Hard gel is another type of builder gel that typically comes in a pot and creates a rigid layer over the nail. It comes in many different colors and finishes. The biggest difference between builder gel in a bottle and hard gel is that the latter has to be filed off, it cannot be soaked off. Hard gel is similar to acrylic, it feels strong on the nail, though hard gel has more flexibility so it&#;s less likely to crack.
A softer gel, like BIAB, is best for natural-looking nails and short extensions whereas hard gel is a better option for extra-long nail extensions because it adds more strength.

Builder gel application is different from traditional nail polish. The nails are cleaned, shaped and buffed to helps the base coat adhere to the nail, as with other nail applications. You&#;ll also want to clean up your cuticles before applying your builder gel.
Typically, a bead of builder gel is applied and gently glided down the nail with the brush to build up the apex of your nail (the highest point on your nail bed) to add strength. While traditional nail polish is applied with long vertical strokes, builder gel goes on with small, horizontal strokes to build up the polish across the entire nail.
If you&#;re using hard gel in a pot, then a separate brush will be used to apply the gel to your nails.
Both builder gel in a bottle and hard gel are applied to the nail and cured with a UV nail lamp. UV nail lamps can emit UV rays that can damage the skin on your hands, just like a sunburn. To avoid this, apply an SPF 30 or greater, like the L&#;Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Invisible UV Fluid, to your hands and fingers before your gel manicure.
At the salon, expect builder gel to cost anywhere from $40 to $80+ depending on where you live, what salon you go to and what color, design and length you get. Builder gel nails can be achieved at home, but there is a learning curve to perfecting them. They require a bit more effort and skill than traditional gel polish because it&#;s not just painted on in vertical strokes &#; it&#;s swiped across the nail to build up the apex and add strength. If builder gel is applied incorrectly, it can result it thick, uneven and bumpy nail polish.
