Hard Gel LED/UV, Builder Gel, Pink, 2 oz

This ibd Hard Gel is absolutely fantastic! The clear formula provides incredible strength and durability that rivals salon-quality extensions. The LED/UV compatibility makes curing quick and convenient with consistent results every time. The consistency is perfectly balanced - thick enough to build structure and length but workable enough to shape and sculpt before curing. It self-levels beautifully for smooth, professional-looking finishes without bubbles or streaking. The clear formula is perfect for natural looks or as a base for polish. What impressed me most is the incredible strength once cured. These extensions last for weeks without chipping, cracking, or lifting. Perfect for anyone who's hard on their nails or wants long-lasting length. The acrylic-like finish is glossy and durable. Excellent for nail extensions, overlays, and sculpting work. Much easier to work with than traditional acrylic systems but delivers the same professional strength. Great for both beginners learning extensions and experienced nail artists. The product consistency remains perfect throughout the bottle with no thickening or separation over time. Easy to control application and shaping makes professional results achievable at home. Essential for quality nail extensions - highly recommend for strong, beautiful, long-lasting nails!

The container is small, but for personal use I think the size is fine. This is my first time doing these on my own and it came out decent. I’m sure each time it’ll come out better. It’s thick so you have to be mindful not to make it too thick as you go. With everything rising in cost it’s great I can continue to have my nails without having to drop hundreds of dollars on them each month. This is a much better cost option for me!

I just did my nails yesterday and I absolutely love this product. I have a clear I wish I would’ve got the pink, but I just been having issues with color and I wanted to just keep it simple and hopefully the clear would have worked better and it did like I was able to just really manage how much I put on I did have to buy my own brushes to paint on the builder gel, but it was such an easy process. I love the way it. it’s solidified my nail I feel like my nails are really strong now although this is just yesterday that I did them they feel like they’ll be long lasting so if not, I’ll probably change my reading but so far I really really appreciate them. They look so good And it was just really easy to apply. I had to repair one of my nails and it came in thick I was able to make a nice thick layer over my nail and it was just really easy to manage super grateful for this product.

All time favorite products. Makes ur nails last forever . I hope they never sell out cus I’ll be super sad but I love this color . I honestly use all their products from IBD . I use the pinks the clears the whites . All of them are fabulous quality . And honestly I truly feel like 2oz is a great amount but I wish they offered bigger sizes but overall you’ll be very satisfied with this company

Really liked this product. Great consistency to maneuver. Easy to work with for yourself and easy to clean off before curing. No harsh smell. The only complaint is heat spikes. It was strong with this one lol but they didn't last long when I would do simple flash cure with the flash lamp as far from my nail as i can before I put it in the big lamp to do a full 60 seconds (I also then personally add another 60 but thats just me).

This is a very good, professional grade product. I am learning to do my own nails and have been studying hard since we were locked down in mid-March, 2020 (I’m writing this at the end of June). I see in the questions section that a lot of people are asking questions like, “Does this gel need a primer/base coat,” “Does this need a top coat,” “Do I need a UV/LED lamp?” The answer to all these questions is YES. I suggest to ALL DIY’ers to please go to YouTube and watch videos made by professional, licensed nail techs, preferably nail educators - that’s different from just a nail tech. An educator works for product companies, teaching techs how to use the products so they will be successful. Learn how to do a hard gel application from start to finish - nail prep, using cleaners, bonders, bases, gel, sculpting (if you’re doing extensions), and top coat. Where this product fits in is between the base coat and top coat. Skipping any part of the process can compromise the effectiveness and longevity of this product. You can find videos specific to this product if you search for “IBD hard gel.” Now for my warning - If you’re curing this product in an inexpensive LED lamp, be careful of a very strong, quick exothermic reaction. Exothermic means “heat producing,” and with a strong lamp, this stuff can get very hot on your nails very quickly! In my lamp, I have to withdraw my hand within 4-5 seconds to let the heat settle down. Did you know that just about every company that makes gel products sells lamps to go with them? There is a reason for this, and it’s not just to get you to buy their lamps! Different lamps have different qualities, and it was only after I had some very unpleasant heat reactions that I went to the IBD website to read about their own lamp. They only sell one, and it is expensive, but it’s expensive for a reason - their lamp doesn’t hit you with full force at once. Here’s what they say: “ibd__ next generation 36-watt LED/UV Lamp gradually increases the intensity of light to prevent heat spikes. GraduaLight simultaneously delivers a comfortable curing experience and superior curing performance.” I wish I had read about this before I stuck my hand under my regular LED lamp! OUCH! Apparently, the company is well aware that it tends to cure very fast. Just be careful if you’re using this with a cheap lamp that hits you with full intensity right away. There are other high-end lamps with this gradual intensity feature, but if you bought your cheap lamp before you knew about this feature like I did, it probably doesn’t have it. So yes, get this product if you want solid, long-lasting overlays or extensions. Just don’t be stupid - if you’re DIY and just learning, do your homework to learn how to get the most from it, or any other nail products, for that matter. And be ready for that heat reaction in your lamp!

mycket bra

I tried a cheaper brand that delivers faster but instantly regret it. So I always come back to this even if it takes longer to deliver and is pricey, it is worth it in the end. Better quality, no lifting, just overall better than the rest.

It really doesn't need to say anything the best Hardgel ever you can use 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Als Nageldesignerin kann ich sagen, dass das IBD LED/UV Builder Gel Pink ein sehr hochwertiges Produkt ist. Ich habe es in Nagelstudios gesehen, in denen chinesische oder thailändische Profis arbeiten, und wollte es selbst ausprobieren, da ich in meiner Umgebung kein vergleichbares Produkt gefunden habe. Das Gel hat eine flüssige Konsistenz, die für erfahrene Anwender sehr gut geeignet ist. Es härtet zuverlässig aus und bleibt lange auf den Nägeln – bei einem meiner Kunden sogar über einen Monat. Für Anfänger kann es jedoch schwierig sein, damit zu arbeiten, da es sehr flüssig ist und für präzise Techniken Übung erfordert. Einziger Nachteil: der Preis ist recht hoch, insbesondere für die geringe Menge. Daher werde ich es nur nach Bedarf nachbestellen.

The clear IBD hard gel is really good. This is the first time I have tried to do gel nails at home. I used to do acrylics. I have now used this gel to build nails on tips and on forms a few times. It comes out great every time. The gel is self leveling but is not runny. I saw reviews that it's not runny enough but that's not true - if the gel was runnier than it is right now it would be nearly impossible to work with. I normally do two coats of it so the nail is thick enough. I cure it for 90 seconds under a LED night and it cures really well. I then clean them with alcohol and sand them down to the shape and smoothness that I want. I recommend using a good quality synthetic brush and at least a 45W LED light to go along with this. I also recommend working on a clean and large table because you don't want dust or pet hair getting into. Also, make sure you do not leave this or any other gel products in sunlight as it will cure in the UV rays. I was surprised by the price and the size of the bottle, however, I know now that you will get a LOT of use out of this container. I have not used it all yet so I cannot say how many nails you can build with it, but I have used it to make 120 nails (6 full sets of nails) already and it looks like I have not even made a dent. The price is great in comparison to other places I have seen. I saw IBD builder gel at a shop, the bottle was half the size for the same price! ** make sure you buy IBD UV/LED Gel Bonder and use it with this. Prep the nails by filing off the shininess, clean with rubbing alcohol, put bonder on it and cure for 30 seconds, then use builder gel and cure for 60-90 seconds per thick layer (you will need 2 layers, 3 max if you like thick big nails).
