FZANEST Builder Gel For Nails, Milky White Gel Polish Rubber Base For Nail Thickening Strengthener Extension LED Lamp Cured Color Base in A Bottle

I love these. I got natural, and it was a bit too pink for me. But I don't think it was an ugly colorl Honestly it was very pretty, but I would have loved to have a darker skintone friendly pink. If you're looking for something that looks like your natural nails and youre medium deep, this might not be the exact color but it is a wonderful nude. Honestly I'm really happy with the product. I am an absolute beginner, and even worse I have so much shakiness in my nondominant hand. But my application came out good as it could for my first time. I used these with tips to get more length instead of a true builder. It holds, definitely, but there can be some subtle lifting here or there. These are nondamaging, cause one popped off and then i peeled the rest and not a single scratch on a nail. It took the tip with it too, which shows that it's clingy. Maybe I need to buff more to get more use from it or a better stick overall.Be forewarned: I am terrified of getting contact dermatitis. so I was super cautious with this. Don't use your finger, use a nail brush dipped in acetone or rubbing alcohol. For the love of god, do NOT use your bare fingers. This product had the burning sensation under my beetles lamp even though i was sure that i didnt get anything on that nail (aformention contact dermatitis fear).I think this product is promising, especially as an entry level rubber base!

I love how easy it is to use and it looked so pretty by itself that I didn’t even feel the need to paint over them. It takes a long time to cure (about 2 minutes with my UV light and that may just be because I need a new one), but if you cure it correctly the first time (unlike what I did) it becomes easy to shape with a buffer afterwards. I actually didn’t buff out my left hand afterwards because I already loved how they turned out without needing to. It was just so easy to shape it before curing it and so easy to fill my previous gel-x nails. I did buff one nail on my right hand before it fully cured, which was a mistake, so I had to recure, reapply, and then rebuff. But as long as you cure it long enough, it’s easy to reshape (not that you need to—it was so easy to shape when it was wet as long as you use a little product at a time and build it up, little by little). Easier for your dominant hand than less dominant hand tho lol.) I definitely recommend it if you’re trying to fill your gel-x nails at home (saves money!!!)

for background, I have done my nails myself for as long as I can remember, got acrylics a couple times at a chop shop and ruined my nails. I finally got them to grow back out but I just need them to be stronger and healthier so I'm trying builder gel now.pros: (1) milky white is the perfect shade for anyone who wants a white nail but doesn't want them to be in your face white. (2) definitely does its job as biab - relatively self leveling so even if it goes on a tad streaky it will smooth out a bit. (3) easy to clean up mistakes. (4) cures with a tacky layer so the top coat will stick. (5) directions are easy to followcons: (1) suuuuuper goopy and thick so it will take some getting used to for beginners as far as application goes. (2) milky white, while the perfect shade, does need to be applied evenly to get a uniform look. (3) mine took a little shaping after application and curing just bc some areas ended up curing thicker even after thin brush adjustment. but it's not too hard to fix with a regular file/buffer.tip: make sure you prep your nails properly before applying for better retention.and the two week update everyone has been waiting for!! the second picture is two weeks of growth, you can see it has chipped in some places and (not pictured) two of them came off completely on my other hand, which is probably due to a combination of me using/washing my hands all the time for work and lazy prep work. The third picture is after taking it off. I will say you NEED to be patient when soaking them off (I wasn't on my pinky finger and thats why the top layer of nail is messed up a little). I used pure acetone for my soak off but I will be trying a brush-on remover next time.I do use a cuticle/nail oil every day (the one by bliss kiss is so nice) so that won't affect your retention as long as you prep correctly. I wouldn't recommend doing a fill with the milky colors unless you don't mind seeing where you filled or unless you put color/designs on top of it.Hope all of this helps! :)

great base if you want your nails to last longer. I make press ons for my own nails (i can't do my left hand to save my life) they make my nails significantly stronger leading to longer lasting nails. This nude color is also a great cover nude for frenchies!

I’ve been doing my own nails for about a year. I’ve tried different builders, polishes and techniques. This product has been by far the best. It doesn’t run to the cuticles or bulk up in the wrong places. I was able to cure my whole hand, whereas before I had to do my thumb separately due to builder running to one side and hardening. I want to try the other colors!
