Build Me Up Buttercup - Builder Gel Manicure

Builder Gel / BIAB / Builder-in-a-bottle is all the same thing, so if you recognise any of those nicknames - this is the treatment you want. Builder Gel is an extra layer of gel polish, slotted in between the base cost and the colour (or you can choose a lightly tinted Builder Gel on its own if you wish).

Builder Gel is for you if you have thin, weak, bendy nails; or brittle nails that break easily; or if you have found gel polish doesn't really last that well on your nails.

Builder Gel generally lasts 3-5 weeks, depending on your lifestyle and how much TLC you can give your nails. During  your appointment please feel free to ask about the top tips to keep your Builder Gel Manicure looking lovely for longer.

Again I use the finest quality, professional brand Akzentz, from Canada. Their formulas are TPO-Free, HEMA-Free, 10-Free, Solvent-Free and Odour-Free. Their gel polish is 100% pure gel, meaning no solvents, and their aim is to offer the safest and cleanest formulas, to support the health of the natural nail.

During your luxury manicure, your nails will be filed and shaped, cuticles will be tidied and exfoliated. Then your chosen Builder Gel will be applied, along with coordinating Gel Products to suit your nail-type and lifestyle, to ensure the best adhesion and life of the polish. You will also be given your personal nail file to take home with you.
