New to builder gels?
Builder gel has become one of the most versatile products in professional nail services, offering strength, durability and beautiful natural-looking enhancements. If you're new to builder gels, the process can seem intimidating at first—but with the right products and technique, it quickly becomes second nature.
Unlike traditional gel polish, builder gel is designed to add structure and reinforce the natural nail. Whether you're creating overlays, short extensions or helping clients grow stronger nails, builder gel provides long-lasting support while maintaining a lightweight, natural appearance.Sestré's self-levelling formulas have been developed to make learning easier. The gel flows smoothly while remaining easy to control, helping minimise flooding around the cuticle and sidewalls. This gives technicians more time to perfect their application without feeling rushed.
Before beginning, ensure your nails are properly prepared using a pH Bond and Primer where required. Apply thin, controlled layers, allowing the product to self-level before curing according to the recommended times. Like any professional skill, confidence comes with practice. Focus on consistency rather than speed, and allow the product to do much of the work for you.Recommended
