modelones Builder Nail Gel for Nails, 6 Colors Fall Autumn Gel Builder Nail Polish for Nail Thickening, Red Yellow Orange Glitter Hard Gel Builder Extension Gel LED Nail Lamp Cured Color Base

I love love love this builder gel! It is my first foray into a builder gel and now I am addicted. It can be used as a base coat. It can be used with nail forms to build a nail extension. It is not too thick nor too thin and is very easy to create an apex, even for a beginner such as myself. Removal is a snap with a light filing followed by a pure acetone soak off per cured layer. Soak offs, at least for me, only need five (5) minutes per cured layer. I use a quality stainless steel cuticle pusher to gently remove the soaked off product and have had no issues.Press on nails simply do not work for me. I have wide nail beds and full or half covers do not stay on for more than two (2) days, if I am lucky. Another factor is that I have flat natural nails in general with a few that have higher than normal c-curves. So press on nails are a challenge and I have tried many products and glues all with the same result unfortunately.This product was my last ditch hope in getting beautiful long nails at the length and shape that I desire and will last. It has not disappointed. Now, I will say that if you are just going to apply this builder gel without any other product applied then at the very least apply a top coat and cap the free edges. When I have failed to cap the edge with a top coat within 48 hours I wind up with chipped builder gel, but my natural nails are perfectly fine. I think that is expected however in both cases. So just be sure to top off with a top coat and cap the free edge and you should be good to go.Now I wish that I bought the rose pink... my next purchase when I need more (which will be soon)!

The color matches the images for the most part. The product is super easy to use also. Ensure you have acetone and a detail brush to clean the edges. This product self levels, is thick so it levels at a reasonable speed which allows for clean up time around the nail.If the product is sticky after the regular cure, i recommend using a paper towel and ALCOHOL NOT ACETONE to wipe the nails if you do not plan on using a non wipe clear coat. If you DO plan on using a clear coat, you can still do the wipe with alcohol if you need to shape the nail more before that last step.The removal process is very very time consuming…for that all I have to say it good luck. Hence the 4 stars, no product should be that hard to get off your nails. I’ve have tried MULTIPLE methods. The heated rice with ziploc and acetone might be the best choice paired with the electric file, a regular one ain’t gonna get it off.

Everything you need to start is all included, the colors are nice the directions are easy to follow. The light is low power so each time you cure I do double the time (60s). if you're used to acrylic, this is kind of a learning curve at first but after a few tries it is definitely easier and faster than traditional acrylic. (The modelones acrylic set is decent too!) The gel is non porous so I don't feel like they're gonna break off doing the dishes or working a labor intensive job. (Make sure to wear your gloves blue-collared ladies!!) Definitely worth the money if you want something that will last and is efficient for your busy life style.

I hated using builder gel until I bought these and realized the problem was the last biab I tried using. The formula of these makes it soooo easy to spread it is not too thick that you have to put in an excessive amount of work. Also the consistency makes building an apex by flipping your hand upside down work perfectly. This product is also surprisingly strong. I did not have to build the nail up with several layers for it to hold strong. I only did one layer of builder and cured and it was perfect. I haven't had any chips in a week and a half. Good amount for each bottle too. Love the colors they're perfect bases

My picture for this review isn’t the greatest so I apologize! I have had these on for a week already and no lifting or uncomfortableness. This was the first attempt at using a poly extension product and I didn’t read all the directions at first, so although this first time isn’t amazingly done my next attempt will be so much better. Way easier than trying to do acrylic nails myself and less of a mess! Just make sure to let the extensions cure. The mini UV lamp was surprisingly good but I left my nails under sometimes for extra time curing. The brush for application worked very well & the brush was not crappy quality like other nail brushes can be with the bristles becoming damaged after one use. I’d recommend trying this if you want a better way to have your nails look pretty without spending money at a salon & to do on your own time at home.

Before I became a mother, I was pretty diligent about getting my nails done on a regular basis…not realistic now with an 18 month old. I saw an ad for a similar product on Pinterest and it looked pretty easy to use so I ordered this. I tried this product for the first time last night after watching many tutorials on YouTube.I must say, I’m pleased with the results. It certainly takes some time to figure out the schematics. The kit comes with everything you need, but I would suggest ordering the clips to keep the forms on your nail and a drill to help fix imperfections. I had to spend a lot of time filing the underside of a few nails because I had difficulty with holding the forms in place while I tried to adjust the product and it gathered a lot at the tip of my finger.I didn’t have any problems with the light included like some of the other reviews. The product cured well with one pass under the light on the top and bottom.My only gripe would be that there wasn’t a wide enough form for my thumbs and they did end up taking me almost three hours to complete the whole set. I’m sure once I get more practice, this will lessen, but it certainly takes some skill and patience.

Good set. I have an extensive background in art and did okay for the first time doing my nails. Polygel in general is probably not the easiest nail art. If you mess up and want to redo a nail its a b***h to get it off. The colors are also super light compared to the pictures. And if you have weaker nails like me it burns a bit when you put it under the light. I do like these and will probably keep using it.

The top of the bottle was cracked on one of the top coats, the matte works well though 😊

Best top and base coats I’ve ever used they are thick but not too thick and so glossy. They work perfectly, I’m so happy with them.

The media could not be loaded.  Amazing base coat, top coat is also amazing and no wipe as it states so no tackyness at all when set (brought "no wipe" top coats in the past but still experienced stickiness). Unfortunately, the matt top coat seems to leave some texture from the application brush (could be due to how I applied it though 🤷‍♀️, the texture is seen in the video attached on the thumb, ring finger and middle finger),but still does the job. Over all I think it's well worth the purchase for the price of it, cant comment on the durability on the polishes just yet due to only just using them.If I remember I will review the durability of them in another week or two. 😊

So I've been using gels for a very long time. the bulk of my kit is Sensationail, but I decided to branch out and look at some cheaper options to see if they were any good. Grabbed this set cos all the reviews seemed good and it was a good price.Haven't tried it all out yet, but I did use the top coat, and the wierdest thing happened - some was Matt and some was gloss. (Plus it wasnt the shiniest top coat I've ever seen) just very strange ....not sure if anyone has had similar occurrences. I'll try it several more times before giving up altogether and see if it changes.Excited to try out the Matte...heard good things 😁😁

First time I used the base and matt top coat, my nail colour chipped within 2 days. So I went back to my other brand.I decided to give it another go, went with gloss top coat this time. Again, within a day they have chipped. I wasn't doing anything to cause them to chip...sun bathing!I ensured they were capped. I am using a 45sec led lamp. Do I need to leave it longer to cure?All other reviews rate the product.Also. The gloss top coat cured whilst I was applying. I was sat indoors with fans on, outside was hot but not indoors. The brush started to harden and I noticed that the top coat was clumping. Nightmare!!! I had to take a brush from another bottle, but then I had issues putting the brush back in the bottle as it was curing and hardening round the bottle opening. Arrghhh!!!
