Salon-Pro Builder Gel Hypoallergenic Builder Base & Top Coat | 30+ Day Strong Adhesion with Gloss Finish | Stain-Resistant - Gift for Women

I have been doing my own nails for a little over four years but have developed an allergy recently to the Beetles brand nail glue. I’ve tried a couple other brands, but they were either too harsh on my nails and difficult to remove or I still had an allergy. I have not tried to remove these just yet, but the application was easy and I think it’s safe to say after two days I do not have an allergy to this one. The thickness was perfect for me and I didn’t notice the smell. This is a great option for people that do have a allergy and prefer to do their own nails at home.

I used the builder gel as a nail glue for applying full acrylic nail tips and I am so pleased with this product. I am one week in with my first full set and I only have had one nail pop off and that was because I accidentally had air bubbles/pockets when I applied the nail, so I was curious to see how long it would last and it lasted 3 days with improper application.I had developed a contact dermatitis when I was using Beetles gel and was just learning (a lot of flooded cuticle beds Dx). I was a little nervous to try this, but there was no need to be nervous! My finger tips didn't break out in little hives! I paired this with Canni Hema-Free gel polish and Beetle Acrylics nails and so far no outbreaks! Perfect!

Amazing product, bought twice already. I use this instead of the nail glue for full coverage gel nails. Works like a charm, very secure hold and easy to use. I've started developing allergy to hard for but this one didn't give me any. Really happy

I thought that this product would help because I became allergic to gel products I've never been allergic to anything in my life this takes out the ingredients that supposedly makes you allergic to the gel so I was really hoping that this would work but at first it seemed okay I tried just one nail with the gel I woke up the next morning itching my finger all around so it definitely did not work

Love it except the smell is strong and unpleasant. Lasts well. No color. Goes on smoothly, but be mindful of how much you use because it does shift/settle so if there’s too much it will be obvious.

I've been wearing this for several weeks and did not have any allergic reaction not even slight itching. Also have only had one tiny chip on a nail and that was after doing some heavy outdoor work. Took some getting used to as far as the viscosity, it goes on pretty thick but this does keep it from getting on your skin. So far so good, nails are growing out nicely.

Love that it is HEMA free, however it has a distinctive odor that strongly smells of mold for some reason. It is very thick when cold so I do warm it up in my hands or pocket and shake well which helps me be able to apply a thinner layer. It cures hard but for some reason 2 days later they feel soft and begin to lift at the free edge. Will look for other HEMA free brands to try that are longer lasting and stay hard.

I love these builder polishes!! I'm allergic to regular gel polishes so I like that there are options for the builder gel that have colors already added. The builder is strong and keeps my nails from chipping/breaking and allows them to grow out. My nails typically last around 3 weeks and then I do a fill of the builder gel.
