What is Builder Gel?

Builder Gel is a thick, durable gel used to strengthen or extend your natural nails. It’s perfect if you want a long-lasting manicure that resists chipping and helps your nails grow. Unlike regular gel polish, builder gel adds structure and support, making it ideal for people with weak or brittle nails.

What is Gel X?

Gel X is a soft gel nail extension system that gives you the look of acrylics but with a lighter, more flexible feel. The full-cover tips are made of gel and applied directly onto your natural nails, then cured under a UV/LED lamp. Gel X is gentle on the natural nail and easy to soak off when you’re ready for a change — no filing or damage required!

What’s the difference between Builder Gel and Acrylic?

Acrylic is a powder-and-liquid system that hardens quickly and feels strong but rigid. Builder Gel is lighter, more flexible, and cures under a UV/LED lamp. It’s also odor-free and generally less damaging to natural nails.

Can I get nail art on Gel X or Builder Gel?

Yes! Both Gel X and Builder Gel provide a smooth, strong base perfect for creative nail art — from minimalist designs to hand-painted details and 3D embellishments.

How does Cat Eye work?

Cat Eye Gel is a magnetic polish that creates a stunning, dimensional “cat eye” effect. After applying the special polish, your nail artist holds a magnet over the nail before curing it. The magnet shifts metallic particles in the polish, creating a line of light that moves — just like a cat’s eye!

How often should I get my nails done?

Most clients come in every 2–3 weeks for gel maintenance or every 3–4 weeks for extensions. Regular appointments help keep your nails healthy and your set looking fresh.
