IBD Hard Gel LED/UV Builder Gel – Clear, Nail Extension & Overlay Gels, Strong Acrylic Finish, Professional Quality, 2 oz, 1 Pack

I’ve been very impressed with this IBD Hard Gel Builder Gel. The consistency is easy to work with, it self-levels nicely without running into the cuticles, making it much easier to create a smooth, even nail. It cures well under my UV/LED lamp and leaves a strong, durable finish that holds up to everyday wear. I also like how versatile it is. It works great for strengthening natural nails as well as creating short nail extensions. Once cured, it’s easy to file and shape, and it provides a solid foundation for gel polish. The clear finish looks beautiful on its own or under any color. A little goes a long way, so the jar should last quite a while. Whether you’re just starting to learn builder gel or have experience doing your own nails, I think this is a great product for the price. I would definitely purchase it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable hard gel.

I really like this hard gel! It's easy to apply if you you've done builder gel in a bottle, same technique but using a longer brush. Texture is nice and thick so it's easy to shape if you got too much on your nail. I got the clear color so I can apply other colors on top. As a mom of 2 id say hard gel is for me, its strong and doesn't chip off or crack. For me its cures in 30sec doing a flash cure.

This ibd Hard Gel is absolutely fantastic! The clear formula provides incredible strength and durability that rivals salon-quality extensions. The LED/UV compatibility makes curing quick and convenient with consistent results every time. The consistency is perfectly balanced - thick enough to build structure and length but workable enough to shape and sculpt before curing. It self-levels beautifully for smooth, professional-looking finishes without bubbles or streaking. The clear formula is perfect for natural looks or as a base for polish. What impressed me most is the incredible strength once cured. These extensions last for weeks without chipping, cracking, or lifting. Perfect for anyone who's hard on their nails or wants long-lasting length. The acrylic-like finish is glossy and durable. Excellent for nail extensions, overlays, and sculpting work. Much easier to work with than traditional acrylic systems but delivers the same professional strength. Great for both beginners learning extensions and experienced nail artists. The product consistency remains perfect throughout the bottle with no thickening or separation over time. Easy to control application and shaping makes professional results achievable at home. Essential for quality nail extensions - highly recommend for strong, beautiful, long-lasting nails!

I just did my nails yesterday and I absolutely love this product. I have a clear I wish I would’ve got the pink, but I just been having issues with color and I wanted to just keep it simple and hopefully the clear would have worked better and it did like I was able to just really manage how much I put on I did have to buy my own brushes to paint on the builder gel, but it was such an easy process. I love the way it. it’s solidified my nail I feel like my nails are really strong now although this is just yesterday that I did them they feel like they’ll be long lasting so if not, I’ll probably change my reading but so far I really really appreciate them. They look so good And it was just really easy to apply. I had to repair one of my nails and it came in thick I was able to make a nice thick layer over my nail and it was just really easy to manage super grateful for this product.

One of the best hard gels I’ve used. This is a GOOD amount in one pot. It ll last you some time plus it’s a quality brand for this price.

I'm now doing my own french gel manicures at home like everyone else. This is the gel they use at my salon so I know this is a quality product. I used this both as a builder and a top coat and my first home manicure came out pretty good. You do need to know how to sand down and prep nails for a fill (you also need a bonder for a fill) and also to sand down the new layer of gel before you apply your colored polish. Instructions and demos can be found on YouTube. This stuff is easy to apply and you can work with it and move it around if you have a good brush. I have read some reviews about this product where people say they can't get it to harden under the lamp and that it stays sticky and will not completely dry. The trick is to wet a little piece of paper towel with rubbing alcohol and go over the nails after 2-3 minutes under the lamp. The alcohol will make the gel rock hard and smooth and shiny. This gel as a top coat is the shiz and after 7 years of manicures with this, I can say my nails rarely chip unless I do something really stupid. I have natural nails and I have never needed acrylic tips because this stuff is so strong. My real nails grow out super long and never break. Highly recommend this product!!! Think I'm done going to the salon if it's this easy to do at home!!

I started using this a few months ago, and i bought the trial size (the smaller container on top) and even that lasted me through around a dozen set of nails. I have pretty long nails already so i like to use a competitive form (the gold foil ones) to extend a little past my natural nail, but ive also experimented with poly forms and this gel works great for both. I’ve tried a few other gels since i first started but i finally committed and bought the big tub. Out of all the gels i’ve tried this one remains my favorite as it’s so simple to use and since it’s a thicker gel it’s much more forgiving. I recommend this to anyone who asks where i get my nails done as well as to those who complain about brittle nails. As long as you extend a few mm past your free edge these will not crack or budge, Im a stable hand and to a lot of other work with my hands and i’ve never had these break on me.

Excellant. Been using for years. Not for beginners. Once you learn how to apply this is excellent.

The clear IBD hard gel is really good. This is the first time I have tried to do gel nails at home. I used to do acrylics. I have now used this gel to build nails on tips and on forms a few times. It comes out great every time. The gel is self leveling but is not runny. I saw reviews that it's not runny enough but that's not true - if the gel was runnier than it is right now it would be nearly impossible to work with. I normally do two coats of it so the nail is thick enough. I cure it for 90 seconds under a LED night and it cures really well. I then clean them with alcohol and sand them down to the shape and smoothness that I want. I recommend using a good quality synthetic brush and at least a 45W LED light to go along with this. I also recommend working on a clean and large table because you don't want dust or pet hair getting into. Also, make sure you do not leave this or any other gel products in sunlight as it will cure in the UV rays. I was surprised by the price and the size of the bottle, however, I know now that you will get a LOT of use out of this container. I have not used it all yet so I cannot say how many nails you can build with it, but I have used it to make 120 nails (6 full sets of nails) already and it looks like I have not even made a dent. The price is great in comparison to other places I have seen. I saw IBD builder gel at a shop, the bottle was half the size for the same price! ** make sure you buy IBD UV/LED Gel Bonder and use it with this. Prep the nails by filing off the shininess, clean with rubbing alcohol, put bonder on it and cure for 30 seconds, then use builder gel and cure for 60-90 seconds per thick layer (you will need 2 layers, 3 max if you like thick big nails).

When i recieve and open the box the item has no lid

Premetto che ormai da anni provvedo autonomamente alla mia manicure da autodidatta per cui non sono una professionista ma dopo vari " esperimenti " , sono riuscita ad acquisire tutte le tecniche per ottenere un buon risultato sia estetico che di durata. Ho sempre usato il costruttore della Melissa, ma questa volta non sono riuscita a trovarlo con facilità ed in tempi rapidi, per cui facendo un giro su Amazon ho trovato questo FANTASTICO COSTRUTTORE Strong della IBD. CHE DIRE? •Innanzitutto il barattolo contiene 56 gr a fronte dei soliti 50 "classici". • imballaggio e packaging curato • alta densità •automodellante • non brucia durante l' asciugatura e non puzza • non crea bolle • in fase di allungamento risulta stabile • la cosa che mi ha lasciato senza parole è la facilità di limatura e modelling. • per concludere made in USA ( gli americani hanno sperimentato già molti anni prima di noi la nail art) • prezzo super 👍 Lo ricomprerò sicuramente. Aggiornerò la recensione fra 3 settimane per scrivere la recensione sulla durata nonché resistenza, per il momento 5 stelle meritatissime. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aggiornamento recensione dopo quasi 1 mese: Il prodotto è molto valido. Gel super resistente. La mia manicure è durata 1 mese senza nessuna rottura a differenza di altri prodotti. Ottimo 👍🎉 5 stelle +
