5 in 1 Builder Base Strengthening Gel 15ml, UV/LED Nail Polish Coat for Hard Strong Nails Tips & Extensions, For Nail Art Decoration, Decals & Jewels, Professional Manicure Repair (Light Pink)

Mylee polishes have been my go-to for at home manis for years now, but i've never personally used builder gel. This one is nice and subtle - a little shimmer and a soft pink. Personally I find the texture a little too thick to use a regular polish, but as a builder it applies well. The bottle is rather large at 15ml and should last a good few sets of nails if used properly - 10/10

Love this product, easy to use, fairly thick and good coverage. Goes on easily and lasts a really good time! Colour was great for my skin tone - good range of colours. Good value and left no residue so was not sticky at all!

As a low maintenance girlie who struggles with depression, I wanted something that made me look/feel a bit more put together but would last a while because I don’t have the energy for weekly maintenance. I’ve never had my nails done professionally so I watched several tutorials to find out how to prep properly and apply. I started off just using Mylee’s gel polish and was happy with the additional layer of strength it gave my nails but having paper thin nails I knew I needed something stronger. I’ve heard horror stories about builder gels and allergies but hoped that by using a HEMA free one, curing properly and not getting any product on my actual skin/cuticle I would hopefully avoid having similar reactions. I prepped nails and applied the ‘peach’ builder gel from Mylee as per their YouTube tutorial (definitely not perfectly) and I’m so pleased with how they’ve lasted. Left photo shows after I did them on 05/11 (with a half nail in ‘the sky is not the limit’ + top coat) and they lasted until I took them off 26/11 (right photo). No lifting, no broken nails and a fairly decent amount of growth. Prior to using gel polishes I was incapable of growing and maintaining length on my nails as they always break. Though I’m only a couple of months in to using Mylee/gel products and don’t want to be over confident, I am currently very happy and would recommend. Only downsides are that I wish there were more builder gel colours and that they had better coverage as would be nice to just do builder gel without doing a gel polish as well (I personally don’t want to see my natural nail underneath).

A fantastic nail strengthening gel that truly delivers. Easy to apply and leaves nails feeling strong and healthy. Perfect for anyone wanting durable, beautiful nails.

Perfect product, very easy to use and apply.

The clear builder gel was great, made my manicure last a whole week. I found it a little sticky and thick to begin with but once you get used to it, it’s great. But then I thought i’d try the light pink so i can see where i applied it. It applies nicely and has a good consistency but the whole thing peels off after a day. Very disappointing had to reorder the clear. Hopefully it’s just the pink that’s rubbish and they haven’t changed the formula!

Since discovering Essence peel off gel in Wilko I had been doing my nails at home with UV gel and a lamp. A peel off gel, whilst the nail colour does not last quite as long, it is easy to remove so you can easily change colours. However this was discontinued though I did find a stockist when in Majorca! Once that ran out I was back to the age old problem of removal which was wrecking my nails so I went back to expensive salon treatments as the experts with the right tools could remove the old varnish with less damage and they used a powder layer to strengthen my nails. After Lockdown and removal my nails were paper thin so I tried dipping powders. Much easier to remove but quite a faff to apply perfectly. The initial kit was quite expensive and though the system was great there is 6 different bottles to use plus the color dipping powder. I needed an electronic file to smooth the dipping powder as my application wasn't that even initially. I didn't really like any of the resulting colors and they were not very shiny but the system did make my nails feel really strong. That is until removal which took ages even with an electronic USB nail drill. I left my nails bare for 6 weeks using lots of strengtheners and oils but as soon as they grew a decent length they flaked. Then I read about Builder Gel on a local salons blog. I looked and was amazed Amazon sold it so after reading about the process in the blurb below I immediately ordered some and some paper nail forms. Using the nail forms to extend your nails is tricky but there are videos on Youtube. I used alone on nails that had reached a good length and it was so easy. Took me a while to get the hang of extending a nail but really pleased and amazed at the outcome. The trick is too make sure your nail form is lined up correctly under you own nail tip and that it looks flat from the side. Don't extend the gel too much or it will take ages to file into place and you don't want to clip any extra off as you may make it split or crack. A good tip when you have painted the gel on is to turn your nail upside down so the gel levels. This is explained on Youtube. You need to prep your nails properly with prep and wipe and then primer, apply the gel, cure, then colour layers, cure, top gel layer, cure, prep and wipe solution to remove residue. On one nail while the gel was wet I applied gem stones all over and then another layer of gel before the final cure. It is easy to add decorative effects which stick to the gel. I've read that you can use with ordinary nail varnish as log as you use a non acetone remover which would melt the extensions so I will probable try that next so I can change colors more often.

I’ve been using this brand for years and loved it. However, the last 2 bottles the ingredients have obviously changed, it smells different and is useless. The gel comes off within days, literally the whole nail with the gel colour just pops off! I’d initially thought I had a dodgy bottle, but the replacement was exactly the same. Such a shame as it used to be a great product lasting weeks. I can see other reviews mention the same. I shall be looking for a another brand now I’m afraid!

cela fait plusieurs fois que je le commande et je ne suis toujours pas déçu je le recommande.

Ottimo, polimerizza velocemente e si stende bene in quanto autolivellante (bisogna solo prendere un po’ la mano sulla quantità da applicare). Ha una buona tenuta ed è resistente, la manicure dura almeno due settimane.

I absolutely love the color and application was easy. Consistency a bit thicker but just right. I'll update the review later in terms of durability and lifting. UPDATE The day after application I got some lifting on my middle finger near the cuticle. Gave the product the benefit of the doubt and redid the nail. Turns out it was due to faulty prep because after that I never got any lifting on any of my nails. Product is great! Unfortunately the price was doubled last week. Paid €8,50 last week, now it's €15.

Great if you need a protection for your nails if you play guitar, just put some at the top of your nails, dry with uv lamp for 90 seconds and that's it. It's like super glue but more comfortable and better looking

Leider sind meine Naturnägel mit dem alter nicht mehr so stabil wie früher. Mittlerweile sind sie brüchiger und reißen schon mal ein. Daher bin ich auf diesen Lack gestoßen. Ich trage immer 2 Schichten nacheinander auf und so sind meine Nägel wieder wunderschön lang und widerstandsfähig geworden. Natürlich muss man sich an die genaue Verarbeitung incl. Cleaner zwischen den Schritten halten. Aber dann klappt es wirklich super!! Bestelle ich immer wieder gerne.
