## Description

Led/uv gels - builder clear 2oz.

Review: Professional-grade hard gel - perfect for strong, lasting extensions! - 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!
Review: Small, but perfect for personal use - The container is small, but for personal use I think the size is fine. This is my first time doing these on my own and it came out decent. I’m sure each time it’ll come out better. It’s thick so you have to be mindful not to make it too thick as you go. With everything rising in cost it’s great I can continue to have my nails without having to drop hundreds of dollars on them each month. This is a much better cost option for me!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i use gel nail polish on top of this product**
A: Yes, I love that I can keep my nails much longer with clear gels, then put regular nail polish on top of it, then clean it off with regular nail polish remover and put on another color.

**Q: Do I need to clean off stickiness with alcohol after every layer before applying another layer?**
A: No, you only clean off stickiness after last layer, especially if you're using the no-clean top coat.

**Q: Does this Product smell bad?**
A: There’s really no smell. When filing off, you can smell the gel a little bit, but no more than any other gel.

**Q: Can I use this to build my natural nails stronger?**
A: Yes, I did...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for the do it yourself girlies
*by Q***N on July 9, 2025*

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.
