Orly GELFX Builder in a Bottle Colors | Self leveling all-in-one formula for nail extensions (Light Pink)

I'm a DIYer and I was using a different brand. I decided to try this BIAB by OPI and I sincerely love it. Its not too thick, but not too runny. Self levels nicely and cures wonderfully. Super easy to work with. The sticky inhibition layer comes off without too much effort, and it cures strong.

I think this is the Gold standard for builder gels. The sheer pink is a gorgeous color, I use to fill and only apply a clear topcoat and the sheer pink looks great. I get compliments often. Gelfx self levels easily, cures in 60 seconds, extremely durable, i never have lifting, it is nice and thick yet easy to work with especially for those who are DIY mani gals.

I didn't want to write a review because this is my secret sauce, but I am a girl's girl. Ever since I switched to this hardgel almost none of my girls have lifting, it's so easy to shape and move, it lasts a long time. It works well for extensions via forms and overlays on long and short nails. Holds its weight and doesn't let the nail bend. Super light weight, all my girls love it. Genuinely THE BEST hardgel I have ever worked with. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend this (just please don't make this a trend so that it's always sold out bc I love it so much).

This builder gel is a DREAM. I am a licensed nail tech and always used luminary before trying this but now I am never going back. This gel is a thinner viscosity so you need to work quick, but your nails will be flawless and will not need finish filing. I apply the nail tip primer, then apply a thin layer of BIAB base coat and cure, then apply a healthy “slip layer” (don’t cure) and then float a bead down the center, let self level a few seconds and then flip the finger over and perfect leveling with a liner brush and flip back over and cure. This creates a perfect natural apex and a glass smooth finish. Since it is thinner, keep a clean up brush handy for overflow, but once you get the hand of it, you won’t have any issues!

Thick! Great adherence. Self leveling.

The consistency is perfect.

I am the first to admit that I don't know how to girl very well. I'm very much a tom boy and work in a blue collar field. However, I was not blessed with strong nails. I drew the short end of the stick and came stock with paper thin nails that break if I look at them wrong. So my solution has been to get my nails done which I not so jokingly call my Tuff Coat. Between the cost and the continued damage to my natural nails I started looking for other options. Where I don't know how to girl, I am pretty crafty! I was introduced to builder gel and there's no looking back! I did a lot of research and this brand was highly recommended. The price gave my cheap when it comes to self care soul cringe, but when I saw the size of the bottle when it got here I felt like I got a steal of a deal. This gel is super easy to use. If I can do it, you can do it! This stuff is insanely strong too. As I mentioned, I'm a blue collar gal, specifically the auto body industry. Primarily in the parts department opening boxes and inspecting parts, but my hands are also occasionally in detailing or helping one of the body techs. This gel takes a beating and doesn't break or chip. The only issue I seem to have is when I help out in detailing for more than a day. The gel holds up, but the corners start to lift from my natural nail. I contribute this purely to the chemicals used and me still riding the struggle bus on prep work. It doesn't soak off like other brands do. It will, but it takes a really long time. Once I master prep work and my corners dont lift, this will be great! So overall, this is a great product. It's easy to use even for those of us who don't know what were doing.

Very easy to use. I had broken my nail and didn't want to put just 1 fake nail on so i used this for the first time and I was able to create a nail no problem. Will be a return customer

Excellent product, great results. Nice to have the larger sized bottle which is not easy to find. Takes a very long time to arrive but seller is excellent to deal with.

perfect

Love this product... will order again
