Beetles Builder Gel for Nails, 2 Pcs 8 in 1 Clear Building Gel

Got this set mostly because I loved the colors but also because I need to replace my prep products and my base/top coat. It was on sale when I got it and I’m so glad I did. My nails have been on for 3 weeks (with tips) and I have had no lifting nor have I had any fall off. I’m extremely rough with my hands and wash them constantly as well so I always end up breaking them or having lifting. I love the short brushes of the prep products as I find it makes it easier to apply without putting too much on. The builder gel itself nicely self levels after a few seconds and the colors are gorgeous. The base coat works as expected and the top coat offers a brilliant shine. This definitely was a great purchase and I’ll be buying more beetles gel products in the future as I switched from dips.

This nail kit was exactly what I was looking for- something easy to use that offers protection for my nails so they can grow. The UV light came with a good charge and was ready to use. I’ve done at home gel/shellac kits and dip powder with and without nail tips. This is by far the easiest system to use! The pictures are after a few days of wear after doing heavy dishes, yard work, and putting furniture together. They have held help amazingly well and have had no chips or breakage. I found doing one hand completely works better than doing each step on both hands. I did layer of base coat and cured for 90 seconds and then did the next nail. The UV light could cure 2 nails at once, I could not tell a difference in the nails I cured solo or the ones I did together. I’m not sure if curing for 60 or 90 seconds made much difference but it felt less sticky and more tacky when doing 90 seconds. I did 2 thin layers of the color (jelly nude) and cured for 90 seconds. It’s very sheer which was what I wanted and really evened out my nails and looks so pretty and subtle. Then applied top coat and cured for 90 seconds and the nails were completely cured and ready to go! After 60 seconds, the top coat was still a little tacky so I def recommend 90 seconds. The UV light indicator has 3 levels and I had a full battery when starting my nails and after I finished, the battery level was at 2 out of 3.

I give this Beatles product five stars because one it is thick and it really is a builder gel. I have a I believe it’s a hard gel by Goya and you can definitely tell the consistency difference in the products as well as after curing how hard they are I will say building a nail from this builder gel is not my personal favorite. I prefer to do a full coverage nail and then fill in from there. After you cure these nails, they are definitely durable if you have to type or anything like that your nails won’t pop off. I can promise you that it is fully transparent however, if you consistently dip your brush, it will start to get bubbly and I’m not exactly sure how to get rid of that so I have one bottle that I practice with in one bottle that I use When I’m actually trying to do nails and so the bottle that I practiced with is bubble leaf from dipping constant dipping so I’m not sure how to fix that but yeah if you dip a lot, it will start to bubble and when you put it on the nail, you will see those bubbles. I’m not exactly trying to take those out especially because I don’t use thus with dual forms for the price I feel like this is an excellent product beginner friendly I will say the heat first I forgot what you call it, but they are sometimes intense depending on I guess how much you do your nails, but it can be intense sometimes so I would say just be careful with that too because I do have higher wattage of UV light and I tend to use my lower wattage because it does initially kind of burn for me. I do do my nails typically almost every week and a half to get my practicing, which could also affect health in my nails are because I’m constantly filing them, which which could be why they burn really badly but my mom has also experienced the burning sensation and she doesn’t get her nails done nearly as much as I do mine. I typically do her nails like every three months and she’s had the same experience so I’m not exactly sure as to why I could just be my lame , but that is something to look at

GREAT PRODUCT!! I have been trying different nail products to find one that will stay on as I am going on a 15 day cruise and don't want to have to keep fussing with doing my nails. Used this with a set of nails I also got from Amazon and they haven't chipped off color at all. They have been on for 6 days so far and still holding the color as if i had just done them. Now I am not sitting around protecting my hands so I don't hit them and cause the polish to chip or them to just pop off my finger. I have been building a greenhouse and working in the garden with no gloves. Polish still perfect, none have popped off. I did use a top coat (also from Beetles) as usual on top of the pink gel polish. Will definitely purchase more Beetles gel polish in the future.

Pros: This is a really thick builder gel and is great for shaping, the product doesn’t level out before you can cure it. The color is pretty & buildable. Cons: not as long-lasting as other builder gels :-( they popped off in a couple days the first time I used it, but I’ve been using a good rubber base/thin layer of a different builder gel before shaping with this one, and that works really well. That being said, I’m still glad I bought it & it excels in areas that other builder gels don’t!

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! I am just a mom that wants pretty nails without the high price of going to the nail salon every 2 weeks. I have tried all the alls. Acrylic, gel, poly gel, builder gel, fake nails. None of them gave me the results I was looking for. Acrylic is hard to perfect, poly gel never cured correctly, regular gel wasn’t thick or strong enough. This builder gel is so easy to use. It is much thicker than regular gel polish, so I suggest while you are prepping your nails warm the bottles in hot water to slightly loosen the consistency. I also recommend getting a good quality nail drill to shape the nail once it is cured and to remove it. I am overall super pleased with the results! Highly recommend

As a non professional at home user taught by my DIL this works extremely well for me. Its creamy enough that I can see building my apex. The clear i cannot seem to get right yet. But thats on me. It wipes off cleanly with some acetone if you mess up and need to redo it. I flash cure with a hand lamp as I work each finger. Gravity is my best friend to help me. Then I cure all when the hand is finished. It flash cures at 20 secs like a champ. I wear my manicures 3-4 weeks at a time on the farm with zero chipping. Its easy to apply and protects my real nails from breakage. It cures easily all the way through. Doesn't washout any color I put on top. It saves me money and lots of drive time.

I was very excited to use this because my friend recomended it and it looked great. I used the set probably three times and after that the builder gel wouldn't seal properly, it leaked everywhere and was so sticky. I'm dissapointed because they really do work but it just would not seal no matter what. I still use the base and top coat but they peel off wierdly and aren't strong enough to keep my nails from breaking.

J'ai reçu ce parfait. Petit gel, je ne fais aucune allergie au niveau de mes ongles et le petit pinceau fournit avec est une petite merveille

Lo compré porque tenía un par de uñas rotas y me daba flojera el polygel o ponerme softgel jajaja. Y funcionó muy bien. En el empaque también menciona que es HEMA free, lo cual también me era importante.

Love this builder gel! The consistency is great for me, but when doing other peoples nails, I find that it can run a little bit, so would like it to be a little thicker. It's strong when set and my nails can last 3+ weeks. Drying time under the lamp is 60 seconds. The price is excellent compared to other brands.

Me encanta este gel

Amazing
