Beetles Builder Gel for Nails, 2 Pcs 8 in 1 Clear Building Gel

I loveeeee!!! Makes nails look shiny, in the advertising picture it looks orange but on the nail it’s a great nude color!! It’s also very good at curing, not sticky, and it lasts a long time! Make sure to buff nails though because if not the gel can pop off

This nail kit was exactly what I was looking for- something easy to use that offers protection for my nails so they can grow. The UV light came with a good charge and was ready to use. I’ve done at home gel/shellac kits and dip powder with and without nail tips. This is by far the easiest system to use! The pictures are after a few days of wear after doing heavy dishes, yard work, and putting furniture together. They have held help amazingly well and have had no chips or breakage. I found doing one hand completely works better than doing each step on both hands. I did layer of base coat and cured for 90 seconds and then did the next nail. The UV light could cure 2 nails at once, I could not tell a difference in the nails I cured solo or the ones I did together. I’m not sure if curing for 60 or 90 seconds made much difference but it felt less sticky and more tacky when doing 90 seconds. I did 2 thin layers of the color (jelly nude) and cured for 90 seconds. It’s very sheer which was what I wanted and really evened out my nails and looks so pretty and subtle. Then applied top coat and cured for 90 seconds and the nails were completely cured and ready to go! After 60 seconds, the top coat was still a little tacky so I def recommend 90 seconds. The UV light indicator has 3 levels and I had a full battery when starting my nails and after I finished, the battery level was at 2 out of 3.

As a non professional at home user taught by my DIL this works extremely well for me. Its creamy enough that I can see building my apex. The clear i cannot seem to get right yet. But thats on me. It wipes off cleanly with some acetone if you mess up and need to redo it. I flash cure with a hand lamp as I work each finger. Gravity is my best friend to help me. Then I cure all when the hand is finished. It flash cures at 20 secs like a champ. I wear my manicures 3-4 weeks at a time on the farm with zero chipping. Its easy to apply and protects my real nails from breakage. It cures easily all the way through. Doesn't washout any color I put on top. It saves me money and lots of drive time.

GREAT PRODUCT!! I have been trying different nail products to find one that will stay on as I am going on a 15 day cruise and don't want to have to keep fussing with doing my nails. Used this with a set of nails I also got from Amazon and they haven't chipped off color at all. They have been on for 6 days so far and still holding the color as if i had just done them. Now I am not sitting around protecting my hands so I don't hit them and cause the polish to chip or them to just pop off my finger. I have been building a greenhouse and working in the garden with no gloves. Polish still perfect, none have popped off. I did use a top coat (also from Beetles) as usual on top of the pink gel polish. Will definitely purchase more Beetles gel polish in the future.

Pros: This is a really thick builder gel and is great for shaping, the product doesn’t level out before you can cure it. The color is pretty & buildable. Cons: not as long-lasting as other builder gels :-( they popped off in a couple days the first time I used it, but I’ve been using a good rubber base/thin layer of a different builder gel before shaping with this one, and that works really well. That being said, I’m still glad I bought it & it excels in areas that other builder gels don’t!

It turned out great! It ain't runny or super thick where it doesn't come out. I love the shimmer in the second one. The clear matches my nail bed perfectly. It is sticky after you cure it, but you have to seal it with matte or top coat. You can apply your color gel afterwards if you are not planning on doing French tips to keep the natural look. It is sturdy afterwards depending on how many coats you put on.

Got this set mostly because I loved the colors but also because I need to replace my prep products and my base/top coat. It was on sale when I got it and I’m so glad I did. My nails have been on for 3 weeks (with tips) and I have had no lifting nor have I had any fall off. I’m extremely rough with my hands and wash them constantly as well so I always end up breaking them or having lifting. I love the short brushes of the prep products as I find it makes it easier to apply without putting too much on. The builder gel itself nicely self levels after a few seconds and the colors are gorgeous. The base coat works as expected and the top coat offers a brilliant shine. This definitely was a great purchase and I’ll be buying more beetles gel products in the future as I switched from dips.

This is the best builder gel I personally have used so far! It takes awhile to learn how to use builder gel but I find this consistency os easy to work with. I do a fill every two weeks and the retention is wonderful. Only reason for the minus one star is the occasional super hot heat spikes even with a quick couple second flash cure. My natural nails stay beautiful under neath with correct removal!

J'ai reçu ce parfait. Petit gel, je ne fais aucune allergie au niveau de mes ongles et le petit pinceau fournit avec est une petite merveille

Lo compré porque tenía un par de uñas rotas y me daba flojera el polygel o ponerme softgel jajaja. Y funcionó muy bien. En el empaque también menciona que es HEMA free, lo cual también me era importante.

Love this builder gel! The consistency is great for me, but when doing other peoples nails, I find that it can run a little bit, so would like it to be a little thicker. It's strong when set and my nails can last 3+ weeks. Drying time under the lamp is 60 seconds. The price is excellent compared to other brands.

impressive, i used to do my own acrylic nails, takes a little practice but perfect and easy to use, all you need in this kit to get started at a great price

Amazing
