BuilderGel is a high-viscosity, self-leveling gel for creating nail extensions, overlays, and structured manicures. Compared to soft gels, it provides superior strength and shape control while remaining flexible and comfortable to wear. The NAILSPIRACY BuilderGel Collection is engineered to give professionals clean architecture, smooth apex building, and long-lasting retention with minimal filing.

Iconic (Premium, HEMA-Free & Acid-Free, 🇩🇪 Germany): best for clients with sensitive skin or allergies, and for artists who want the cleanest, lowest-irritation profile without sacrificing performance. Dense, self-leveling body gives crisp structure and premium clarity.

Essential (Everyday Salon): the versatile choice for high throughput. Optimized for Dual Forms and traditional sculpting, it spreads evenly, files quickly, and delivers durable, chip-resistant wear up to 6 weeks.

  • Sensitivity: Choose Iconic for HEMA-Free comfort; Essential for general clientele.
  • Workflow: Essential shines in busy salon flow; Iconic excels when the brief is premium feel and gentle chemistry.
  • Finish: Both self-level smooth; Iconic has a slightly denser feel for meticulous shaping.
  • Top choice for Dual Forms — fills forms cleanly, releases smoothly, and keeps structure.
  • No Heat Spike — gentle curing helps protect sensitive clients.
  • Odorless & Flexible — comfortable wear with a natural feel.
  • High/Thick Viscosity — precise apex building, minimal flooding.
  • Long Wear — up to 6 weeks of retention with proper prep.*
  • Cure Times — LED: 60 sec · UV: 120 sec.

*We recommend routine maintenance at ~3 weeks for nail health.

  1. Prep: Cleanse, shape, refine cuticles. Apply CRYSTAL Base Coat and cure.
  2. Apply BuilderGel: Load the dual form or brush and place the gel. For Dual Forms, press gently from cuticle to free edge to avoid air pockets.
  3. Build & Cure: Create apex and structure. Cure — LED 60s / UV 120s.
  4. Refine: Remove the form, file/buff to perfect the silhouette.
  5. Seal: Finish with GLAZE No-Wipe Top Coat and cure.

Tip: Work in controlled layers and keep the brush slightly damp with gel for smoother self-leveling.

  • Select correct form size (no pressure on sidewalls).
  • Place apex slightly behind center for salon-durable architecture.
  • Seat the form from cuticle toward the free edge to push air out.
  • Flash cure to lock position before full cure if needed.
  • Refine sidewalls with minimal filing — viscosity does most of the work.

Both gels are odorless and formulated for No Heat Spike. With correct prep and aftercare, sets wear up to 6 weeks. For removal, file down bulk, then use a soak-off or e-file technique appropriate to the service protocol, protecting the natural nail plate throughout.

  • Sensitive clients / Low-irritation chemistry? Choose Iconic (HEMA-Free & Acid-Free, 🇩🇪).
  • Busy salon / fast Dual Forms workflow? Choose Essential (streamlined handling, universal choice).
  • Both deliver top-tier structure, clarity, and long wear with a smooth, self-leveling finish.

The NAILSPIRACY BuilderGel lineup gives professionals two ways to win: Iconic for premium, HEMA-Free performance made in Germany, and Essential for everyday salon efficiency. Both are Dual Forms standouts with No Heat Spike, odorless comfort, and high-viscosity control for crisp structure and long-lasting wear. Pair with CRYSTAL Base Coat and GLAZE Top Coat for a complete, salon-grade system.
