IBD Hard Gel LED/UV Builder Gel Clear – Nail Builder Gels for Extensions, Overlays & Sculpting, Long-Lasting Salon Quality, 0.5 oz

Love the Hard gel by IBD. Have used it for many, many years. Great product. Sometimes I use it alone on my nails, other times use it as my base before applying a gel color. Like the thickness and how it levels when you turn your palms up.

I started using this a few months ago, and i bought the trial size (the smaller container on top) and even that lasted me through around a dozen set of nails. I have pretty long nails already so i like to use a competitive form (the gold foil ones) to extend a little past my natural nail, but ive also experimented with poly forms and this gel works great for both. I’ve tried a few other gels since i first started but i finally committed and bought the big tub. Out of all the gels i’ve tried this one remains my favorite as it’s so simple to use and since it’s a thicker gel it’s much more forgiving. I recommend this to anyone who asks where i get my nails done as well as to those who complain about brittle nails. As long as you extend a few mm past your free edge these will not crack or budge, Im a stable hand and to a lot of other work with my hands and i’ve never had these break on me.

Great product. Builds strength well. It’s strings like hot cheese. I think they all do. I try and use a tiny scoop and scape method. Seems like it would be better to have this product in a tube.

I was mad as hell when I got it. It was so small I was like 9 dollars for this?? Overall it’s a really good builder gel. Thick but good for beginners.

Great gel.. it was so easy to do my nails

Love this!! Great product and lasts! A little goes a long way.

The container is small, but for personal use I think the size is fine. This is my first time doing these on my own and it came out decent. I’m sure each time it’ll come out better. It’s thick so you have to be mindful not to make it too thick as you go. With everything rising in cost it’s great I can continue to have my nails without having to drop hundreds of dollars on them each month. This is a much better cost option for me!

I'm new to hard gel so this could be a user issue, but this turns yellow for me on repeated curing, like when doing multiple coats it gets more and more yellow... I was hoping that I wouldn't need to cover it with polish, but if I don't, it's nicotine-colored :(

I tried a cheaper brand that delivers faster but instantly regret it. So I always come back to this even if it takes longer to deliver and is pricey, it is worth it in the end. Better quality, no lifting, just overall better than the rest.

Toen ik op die plaatje keek leek erg groot te zijn maar het is dus niet best wel ergg klein soms moet je goed op letten wat je koopt ook

IM AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL ... during this current unpleasantness going on in the world I have not been able to get my nails done , so I ordered this gel to have a go at doing my own infils. Extremely nervous using it but that soon disappeared, easy to use nice consistency to work with and cured perfectly to the nail ( I dehydrated and primed the nails before using as instructed) couldn’t be happier , smooth levelled finish , definitely recommend. And thank you for the quick delivery in this awful situation we find ourselves in at the moment .

Very easy to work with and great quality.

I used this gel to do my nails for the first time and it’s easier to use than I thought…. Definitely gonna buy more
