Feeling envious of those long-lasting, glossy manicures you see on social media? We feel you, but let’s be real, no one wants to deal with the hassle that comes with the process. Whether you’re a nail tech or an at-home .enthusiast, you need a quick and efficient solution. Royale Clear Builder Gel is what nail professionals use to form and shape stunning nails. But before we get ahead of ourselves, we should probably start at the beginning
Royale Builder Gel repairs and strengthens natural nails while allowing for professional looking manicures. It does this by using nail-strengthening ingredients and filling in cracks or breaks within the nail.
Builder gel can be applied like a regular base coat, though it’s different from a standard gel polish base coat. If you want to learn more about standard gel polish, we got you covered with our in-depth explanation of everything you need to know about gel polish.
Nail enthusiasts with weak or brittle nails often use builder gel as a base coat and then apply regular gel color on top of it. If you prefer a natural look, you can just leave the builder gel, so your nails have a subtle shine. That being said, who are we to tell you what to do? Put your own unique twist on your nails.
Royale Builder Gel is a Multifunctional gel that provides 6 different features in one amazing builder gel.
No, builder gel and acrylic are two very different materials. Mixing the two will make your manicure a disaster, so please don’t do that. Builder gel comes in a bottle and is painted mostly like other types of polishes. It stays wet until it’s cured. It is a bit thicker of a viscosity than other gel polishes, which is why you may have to manipulate it a bit (sort of like you do with acrylic!).
Acrylic is a powder that must be mixed with a monomer to activate. Sure, it can easily be molded into different shapes, but acrylic hardens within a few minutes, so time is of the essence.
Whether you use acrylic or builder gel depends on your nails and how you want your manicure to look. If you’re dealing with the super annoying problem of having your natural nails break all the time, then builder gel is probably the better choice. Not only does it have nail-strengthening qualities, but it’s also more flexible than acrylic, so you don’t have to worry about breakage or snapping.
Builder Gels Especially Royale Builder Gel, are used to form a nail extension over nail forms and tips. The thicker viscosity allows the nail tech to cover more areas of the nail at once. Thick gels should be used carefully. If too much gel is used, peaks and valleys will form, causing the need to finish filing later, which is a pain to deal with.
Thicker gels do not move around on the nail and are easier to control than thin gels, making them a suitable gel for the beginner nail tech. We also recommend thicker viscosity builder gels to those who typically use acrylic.
A proper builder gel manicure can last two to four weeks you don’t want to keep it on any longer than that. This is because the nail growth causes more proneness to bending, breaking, or lifting.
There is a range of two to three weeks because of how each manufacturer makes their builder gel and how well the gel is applied. If you’re a beginner, it may not last as long as your typical enhancements at first, but it’s worth it, we promise!
Royal Builder Gel is a diverse tool for creating beautiful but healthy manicures. It’s ideal for stronger nails while creating bold extensions for a more dramatic look. The different gel options make designing custom gel manicures possible for beginners and seasoned nail techs.
