LOUINSTICBuilder Gel for Nails - No Sticky Poly Gel Hard Builder for Nails Extension Sculpture 3d Modeling Nail Art (20g, Clear)

Love sculpting with solid gel and this made my life so much easier! This was my first attempt at doing a snake using the solid gel. You can mix any color of gel into this and make whatever color! The versatility of this product is limitless.

This is the first time I've used a builder gel for my nails. I do my nails at home. I decided to use it to create nail extensions instead of my usual tube of polygel. This product claims not to stick to your hands and I found that to be partially true. If you are quick and keep the gel moving, it doesn't seem to stick. But if you hold the gel for more than a few seconds, your body heat will start to "melt" it a bit and it does get sticky. I found that using stainless steel spatulas and modeling tools was the perfect way to manage this gel, because the gel didn't stick to those tools - probably because metal tends to be cooler than hands.This gel has a fairly strong smell. It's not a horrible smell, just a chemical odor.When using my nail drill to shape my nails, the hardened gel did not powder. Instead if came off in small "chunks," and pieces wanted to stick to my nails as if there were fiber holding the hardened gel together (there is no fiber). That was odd.Overall, I will use this gel until it's gone. Still, I am more comfortable with the polygel tubes that I am already used to using - but that's just me.I recommend trying this product - it does do what it was made to do. If you are more skilled than I am, You will probably love it.

The gel builder didn’t last that long but the nails definitely came out great

I typically used tea bag with super glue to fix broken nails but it only lasted a couple of days and I have to keep repeating the process over again.I decided to give this product a try. I still use tea bag + super glue and apply this strengthening gel on top. Use a metal tool to scrape a small amount. Then, with your fingers, just make a ball. You do need a nail mould to make sure the surface will be smooth. Cure it with nail mould under LED lamp for one minute and it completely harden. Remove the mould and clip or file excess away. My nail looks perfect on the first try without any practice. From the picture, you can see chipped nail on one side, my nail was broken on both sides.I like that the gel is non-sticky. It’s like play dough and you can shape it pretty easily.

I had to return this product due to the poor quality of the hard gel. It was very hard upon arrival and I was unable to use it . I cannot recommend this product.

Wear gloves if you use this, itll make your hands smell really bad.

I’ve been loving getting 3D nails but lately the price has been untenable so I decided to try and just do the 3D design myself since I’m mostly ever looking for blobs. This stuff is so easy. It’s tough so you roll it out like play dough then cure it. The learning curve was 20 seconds. This is super tough and not liquidy at all so if you’re looking for something closer to the consistency of glue, you need a different product. This is more like putty.

This is great for making basically little shapes to put on your nails, I made icicles, snowballs, and little animal shapes, and I apologize I don’t have any pictures. I definitely would not use it for tip application, I think basecoat just works better. It’s very easy to get dust and fingerprints in it, even if you’re wearing gloves, I definitely recommend using some kind of sculpting tools with it.

I used this instead of acrylic powder for my nails and it lasted over 2 weeks and didn’t damage my nails the way acrylic does

This package would NOT open at all. I had to cut and physically pry it open and took a very long time. do not buy unless you want to deal with an insanely difficult product that’s mid.

I'm happy with it Good product I recommend it

This product is nit able to open. I've tried using tweezers to pry it open, I've used a knife, I've say thete twisting and pulling, it will not open. I wish I could review the product but I'm not even able to see it. Do not buy this.

The bottle can not even open 😫
