Bluesky HARD GEL UV LED Soak Of Gel Nail Polish LIQUID 10ml (CLEAR HARD GEL 10ML)

Product Information

Many nail polish companies such as OPI (Infinite Shine), Essie (Gel Couture), and CND's (Vinylux), make long-wearing nail polish. You can still add thickness and some length to the nail, though you won’t be able to extend them as much as you would with a hard gel. Although you may hear often about “BIAB” or Builder in a Bottle, it is not the traditional hard gel. Gel extensions, hard gels or builder gels, on the other hand, are made using a thick gel to build out the nails and then cured in the same way.

Baker cautions that overworking the product can also make the nail lumpier, creating more filing for the tech once cured. Hard gel is a great option for clients who do not want to soak their nails every service but rather a service they can fill in. If your client still can’t decide which to go with, keep some pictures of your best work handy to show them the different looks you can create with them. So, the main takeaway with hard gel vs builder gel is that hard gels are harder to remove, you need a drill and you have to be very careful. Although simpler and sometimes slightly bulkier, a good top coat can make acrylics appear just as glossy as gels.It'll harden your nails without adding length, so you can watch them grow with their newfound strength. So, while gel overlays and hard gels may both be used to create beautiful nails, they are not the same product. The nails may be painted with nail polish and a topcoat at this point, or colored dip powder may be used instead of polish and finished with a topcoat. No filing is required during the application; the base coat can be applied straight to the natural nail and cured under the lamp, with the polish and top coat applied similarly. While it does offer some protection for your nails compared to regular nail polish, it's not as hard as builder gel or hard gel.
