How to Apply Solid Builder Gel

Step 1 — Prep Your Nails

Clean and prepare the natural nails. Remove excess cuticle and lightly buff the nail surface if needed.

Step 2 — Apply Base Gel

Apply a thin layer of base gel and cure according to your lamp's recommended curing time.

Step 3 — Pick Up the Builder Gel

Using a metal nail spatula or steel pusher, take a small, bead-sized amount of solid builder gel.

Tip: Avoid repeatedly touching or kneading the gel with your fingers, as dust and oils can affect adhesion and texture.

Step 4 — Place & Shape

Place the gel onto the nail and gently press it into position. Use your brush or tool to shape and smooth the gel across the nail.

Build the desired apex and extension structure gradually rather than applying too much product at once.

Step 5 — Refine the Shape

Use a nail brush and appropriate cleanser to clean any excess product around the nail edges before curing.

Step 6 — Cure

Cure thoroughly under a compatible UV/LED nail lamp according to the gel manufacturer's recommended curing time.

Step 7 — Finish

Shape and file the cured nail if necessary, then apply your favorite gel color and top coat for a smooth, glossy finish.

Pro Tip

For the cleanest result, work with a small amount of builder gel at a time. A controlled application makes it easier to create an even structure and avoid unnecessary filing.
