OrlyGelFX Builder In a Bottle Intro Kit | Sculpting Builder Gel for Nail Extensions and Gel Overlay (Intro Kit)

I have tried so many products; looking for something that strengthened my natural nail, looked professional, and lasted. This product is all of that. I do not experience lifting like the polygel products and it does not cause nail damage. It lasts much longer than other product

My nails are very thin and split down the middle of my cuticle bed. I wanted something that I could put on my nail to protect it while they grew out and hopefully got a little healthier. Someone at Ulta suggested the builder gel. So I found this (I like orly products anyway). I stalled for several days because I was nervous about how to use it and it’s always such a pain to remove everything if they look terrible. After watching a tutorial, and taking it slowly, I was very pleasantly surprised at how easy it really was! And with good results! (There is definitely a learning curve, but for my first time with builder gel, it looks pretty good. Amazed at how strong it is! Will definitely be using this going forward. The self leveling gel was a lifesaver!

The media could not be loaded. I love this product!! I’m tired of paying $100 for my nails and not liking them or the nail tech getting upset cause I want them fixed. My nails are not perfect, I’m trying to learn as they heal and grow and so far this kit has made it easy to use.

I really like this product. I’ve been using it for about a month now. It’s been really durable which I love. It’s crystal clear and as long as you don’t shake the bottle it doesn’t get many bubbles in it. I’ve had some issues arise with application and consistency the builder gel is self leveling but I have had issues getting my nails to look even and uniform. I’ve noticed this being more of an issue when I’m trying to add more length to my natural nails. I’ve also learned that you should have some qtips handy when you’re doing this to wipe excess gel off you cuticles and the skin around your nails. The first time I applied a set of these I didn’t do a very good job keeping it away from my cuticles and as time went on I noticed the spot where the gel was on my skin peeled up and that really messed with the integrity of the rest of the nail. All in all it’s pretty easy to use with some practice. It seems like a really great alternative to going to the nail salon every three weeks for a fill.

I had to stop having my nails done, to save some money. However, because I do shipping and receiving at work, and do woodworking as a hobby, my nails take a beating so I like having the gel "armor" protecting them and keeping them looking nice. I was worried about getting these smooth because I've tried doing acrylics at home, but it didn't work out for me. It was murder trying to get them perfectly smooth, but because this stuff is self-leveling, that wasn't an issue. Also, I'm going on 2 weeks and they are holding up strong. It does take me about 2 hours to remove the old gel, put the new stuff on, and then paint/cure them. That will probably get better as time goes on. My suggestion, use this kit and Gelish brand gel polish. Watch a couple videos and block out a couple hours of time to just sit down and learn to use it. You will get nails that last and look great.

The media could not be loaded. I used the forms to slightly extend my natural nails. The consistency is perfect. Not too runny. Self leveling. Quick curing! CRYSTAL CLEAR!

I am not a nail tech or have experience doing my own nails. I have very brittle nails and so I always have my nails done at the salon. Since COVID my nails have been just terrible. They were so bad that I was embarrassed to post a before pic. I had seen this on FB a while back and read some review and went on your tube and looked up some of the videos to see if it was really as easy as they say and make it look.... and it really is... you guys this is the most amazing product ever. I followed the direction to clean and prep my nails and apply the tips. Then followed the direction applying the builder. It was easy and simple. No gooping, no overflow, no mess at all. I am so in LOVE with this product and how easy and simple it is to use...and how much money I save. From now on I will be doing my own nails with this product. If I can do it anyone can do it.

The boxes were kinda damaged and dirty and the brush for the primer is split. I’m a little disappointed. Maybe that’s way it was on sale.
