AIMEILI 8 in 1 Builder Nail Gel Set, Sheer Color Builder Base Nail Strengthening Gel Nail Extension Glue Gel in a Bottle, UV LED Gel Polish 6pcs X 10ml - Gift Kit 36

I bought this product a few weeks ago and having seen photos from other users of damage to nails etc wanted to use a few times prior to reviewing.I'm so impressed with the quality this builder gel. There is no doubt it prevents chipping and peeling of the polish. No need to touch my nails for 2 to 3 weeks.I found that removing the sticky layer after curing the builder gel made polish application easier.Brilliant product.

I wanted to give my natural nails a break from extensions so decided to give this a try. I was new to builder gel so wasn't sure how well the first application would go. It was easier than expected and the results are so pretty and natural looking. Gives your natural nails strength and shine. I can't comment on the longevity as today is only day one. Because you have to apply a lot of product I would imagine the bottle will run out quickly so I'll stock up!

It’s quite good, easy to work with and cures quickly, you do need to use alot of product and there’s not much in the bottle. I estimate you’d get about 3 manicures out of each one which is small compared to other brands. The colours are very similar and I expected they’d be more pigmented than they are. In the picture I’ve used a glitter polish on the end and ombred out but the pinky colour is the builder gel,

These nail polishes are excellent quality for the price. I recently got back into doing my nails, and I love the beautiful colors—they cure perfectly! I've been experimenting with different palettes and styles, and this set has been great for that. I would definitely buy it again.

this gel is pretty okay, as a beginner nail tech it works pretty well and is a nice neutral colour however you need to use a LOT of gel to make sure it isnt see through for example one bottle only gave me three sets. so not to impressed by that im now upgrading to a more high quality brand that i have some money from doing nails but this is good for beginners ( its VERY runny idk if this is a me problem or what but make sure you hold the nail upside down for 30+ seconds unless you want that beautiful apex you just spent an hour creating to melt down the sidewalls )

I bought shade 150 and the result was very much like I had rebuilt my natural nails. The downside of the shade was it's very difficult to see on the form, but the end result when I got the hang of it was great. It took me a while to figure out the nail forms I bought - I went with some butterfly shaped stickers and tried to wrap them around my finger which resulted in a lot of buildup under my nail tip. Once I worked out that a) you press the wings together and b) there are perforations to get them off, I did a much better job. Also, the chemical reaction involved in setting the gel means that when you put it under the lamp it heats up alarmingly for 15 seconds or so. It felt like I'd dipped my nails in very hot water, but it didn't actually burn me, and it didn't last for long. I will definitely buy more of this product.

Edit 27th December 2020: Added pictures for nail repairOriginal review 5th September 2020:Never used any kind of gel nail product before, but bought this based on reviews along with some nail forms because I'm sick of breaking a nail and either cutting the others down to size or rocking uneven nail lengths.I had two tears into my thumbnail and after filing a significant portion of the left side of it was gone and the shape awful, and still two big quarter inch cracks into the nail. I knew that no amount of filing was going to save it, so finally it was time to test this out.After squeezing a nail form under the remaining part of the nail, I simply pulled out the brush allowing half of the product on it to go back into the bottle and applied some over the nail to cover the tears and then over onto the nail form and stuck my thumb under my led curing light for a minute (it turns off automatically after 1 minute).I removed the nail form which came away easily and realized the section where there was no nail was a bit thin, but the directions did call for 2 coats anyway, so slipped the form back under the nail and repeated the process.Sure enough the gel section of the nail was now not bendy and felt thick and strong, though slightly tacky, but I started filing away which was super easy, and shaped it all back up. Other than being completely transparent, I was unable to tell where my nail ended and the gel started, it was so easy to file it into a seamless transition.I then put a standard ridge filling basecoat and painted my nails with standard (not gel) polishes and a week later, it's still holding up perfectly and no one is any the wiser.Does exactly what I needed it to do, I'll never have to look in despair at uneven nails again, if I do something stupid and break one, I can just clean it up, chuck some of this on, bung it under the lamp, file it up and in 10 minutes pretend like nothing happened.Fabulous. Can't believe I didn't invest in this years ago.
