Build Manikures
A builder gel manicure involves the application of a specially formulated gel that can be used to sculpt and build the nail. This gel is thicker than regular gel polish, allowing it to provide a stronger and more resilient finish. Builder gel can be applied over natural nails to add strength and durability, or it can be used with nail forms or tips to extend the length of the nails.
What is a Build Manikure?
A structured gel manicure is a durable and long-lasting nail enhancement technique that uses a thicker gel product to create a strong, flexible overlay on your natural nails. This method not only adds strength but also ensures a smooth, glossy finish that resists chipping and peeling.
Benefits of Structured Gel Manicures
Enhanced Strength: Builder gel provides a robust, durable layer that strengthens natural nails and reduces the risk of breakage.
Long-Lasting Results: Builder gel manicures typically last longer than regular gel manicures, often up to 3-4 weeks with proper care.
Flexible and Lightweight: Despite its strength, builder gel remains flexible and lightweight, ensuring comfort and a natural feel.
Versatile Application: Builder gel can be used for overlays, nail extensions, and to create various nail shapes and designs.
Natural Appearance: Builder gel nails have a smooth and glossy finish that looks natural and elegant.

If you are looking for a reliable nail enhancement option that combines strength, durability, and beauty, builder gel manicures are an excellent choice.
