Builder Gel (BIAB)

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.

What's the Difference between Builder Gel and Gel polish?

Regular gel polish, also known as normal gel nails, is a long-lasting nail polish that is cured under a LED lamp. It adds colour and shine to the nails but doesn't add significant strength or length. On the other hand, builder gel is a thicker product used to create structure and length.
