Formulated to be self-leveling, it smooths and fills ridges while adding structure to weak nails or forming extension tips. The formula cures under UV light and leaves a tacky layer that must be sealed with a compatible top coat for long-lasting wear. Packaged in a 16ml bottle, the Baby Pink 1726 shade offers a soft, natural-looking pink that complements many skin tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I use GAOY Builder Gel to strengthen or extend nails?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApply GAOY Builder Gel over a cured gel base coat to reinforce the nail plate or sculpt an extension. Work in thin to medium layers, curing each layer under a UV lamp for the recommended time, and finish by sealing with a gel top coat to remove tackiness and lock in durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrep: push back cuticles, buff shine, and wipe with alcohol cleanser.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBase: apply a gel base coat and cure fully before builder gel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuild: brush on self-leveling gel, shaping the apex; cure 60 seconds under standard UV.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFinish: apply a gel top coat and cure to seal and add shine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat curing time and lamp do I need for the best results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCure GAOY Builder Gel under a UV lamp for about 60 seconds per layer as a baseline, increasing time for thicker layers or lower-wattage lamps. Proper curing prevents lifting and improves bond strength; always follow your lamp manufacturer’s guidance for optimal results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard UV lamp: about 60 seconds per thin-to-medium layer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-watt or LED lamps: extend cure time as needed per device specs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThick layers or sculpted tips: longer cure times to ensure center-through curing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlways cure after base coat and before top coat application.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need both a base coat and a top coat with this builder gel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGAOY Builder Gel is formulated to adhere to a properly prepared gel base coat and to remain tacky after curing until sealed. Using both a base and a top coat prevents premature peeling, improves adhesion, and gives a smooth, shiny finish that lasts longer with regular wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBase coat promotes adhesion and reduces lifting risk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTop coat removes the sticky inhibition layer and enhances gloss.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSkipping either can shorten wear time and increase chipping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse compatible gel base\/top products for best bonding and finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will GAOY Builder Gel last and how is it removed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen applied correctly with base and top coats, GAOY Builder Gel provides extended wear comparable to other hard gel manicures. The gel is soak-off; removal requires gentle filing to break the seal followed by acetone soak or professional soak-off techniques to avoid damage to the natural nail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExpected wear: long-lasting when applied and sealed properly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemoval: file through top coat, then soak with acetone or seek salon removal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not force or peel to protect the natural nail surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular fills maintain extensions without full removal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: GAOY Builder Gel 16ml in Baby Pink 1726 is designed for home users and nail technicians seeking a reliable hard gel for strengthening natural nails or building extensions.
