Looks good, feels great! Easy to apply and quality!
Color: 0- A - Clear
This is my first time using builder gel. It is amazing. I did not have to file afterwards or shape, it looks smooth and natural. It even has more shine than nt using builder gel. More than what it LOOKS like, I am pleased with with it FEELS like. My nails feel so much stronger with this. Touching it feels like glass. I have such incredibly thin nails that peel.... paper thin. This builder gel feels like a game changer. It is so easy to apply and it really does shape itself. Make sure you follow the very simple instructions in the box and maybe look up a short tutorial. This is my first time ever applying something like this, and I am shocked at how well it went. What I reccomend is to make sure you have a strong UV/LED light to cure it; do not try and use a travel lamp or a small one that comes with gel press ons. I bought a nice one on Amazon for cheap and I am glad I did. The pics are of my thumbs. The thumb on the right has the builder gel over a base coat with a transparent glittery jelly and a top coat. On the left is the same set up, just no builder gel. The visual difference is subtle, but the strength is incredible. FYI, it does also seem to have some flexibility/give asnot to hurt or damage you natural nails. I reccomend 100% ... show more

A year of use and great longevity — my daughter loves this builder gel
Color: B - Blush Pink
My daughter is a student who does nails on the side, and she's been using this builder gel for about a year now. She's extremely happy with it and has made it one of her go-to products. The biggest thing she likes is the build and strength she gets from it. She's able to create a nice apex and build without having to use excessive amounts of product, and the finished nails hold up really well. More importantly, she's getting great longevity on her clients' nails. Her clients have consistently reported that their sets last a long time, which is probably the best endorsement you can get from someone using a product on other people rather than just themselves. The pink color is also really nice, and she likes that it gives her a good starting point for her nail designs. She's tried quite a few Beetles products and really likes the brand in general, and this builder gel has definitely lived up to her expectations. 5 stars. After about a year of regular use, she's still very happy with it, and the combination of easy building, good strength and long-lasting results has made this one of her favorites. ... show more

Works great for DIY nails!
Color: 0- A - Clear
I’ve been using this builder gel for a bit now and I actually really like it. It functions the way it should and gives my nails a nice strong base without feeling heavy. It stays put and holds up pretty well during the week which is all I really need. It’s pretty easy to apply too. The gel levels itself just enough to help smooth everything out so even if you are not super experienced it still looks decent. I didn’t feel like I was fighting with it or rushing before it got gloopy. For the price I think it is good value for money. You get enough product to last a while and it performs just as well as some of the more expensive brands I have tried. The look is nice and clean. The finish leans more matte before you put a top coat on which I like because it is easier to see the shape. It also dries clear so it can work with pretty much any polish on top. The smell is not bad either. It definitely has a nail product scent but it is way lighter than some of the really strong builder gels out there so it did not bug me at all. Overall I think this is a solid option if you want something easy to use that gives good results without spending a ton. I would buy it again. ... show more

If you’re a beginner, read for tips and tricks!
Color: 1- B - Natural Nude
i love beetles, iv been doing my nails for about 6-8 months now and since the beginning iv used beetles. i love builder gel because it’s a protective layer on your nail, making it stronger and allowing for growth without damaging your nails. this stuff is definitely a learning curve but once you get the hang of it it’s AMAZING. my only issue is that it’s a little runny for builder gel but definitely still easy to use. and this color is absolutely PERFECT for french tips or just a natural overlay. when i initially used builder gel i didn’t know the proper technique so i was just building up multiple thin layers until it was to my liking- and this worked, but not well and wasn’t great long term as i’d have lots of lifting from improper application- for those who are new iv written instructions for the proper application as well as tips iv learned along the way :) FOR BEGINNERS: here are some tips and tricks iv learned as well as instructions, if you’ve never used this before understand that there is a learning curve and it takes lots of practice but after maybe 4-5 sets i now make my nails look PERFECT, better then the salon honestly! start by prepping the nail (remove cuticles, trim nail, buff nail bed, and shape to your liking) i use tips to add length so after the prepping the nail i apply the tips and file them so they’re flush with my nail from side wall to side wall :) but you don’t need to use tips, i just wanted to include this for those who may want to use tips for length! apply a base coat and cure as normal apply a very thin layer of builder gel, DO NOT CURE. this is called a “slip layer” make sure you apply sidewall to sidewall and not to flood the cuticles. after the slip layer you’ll dip back into the bottle and get a “bead” you’ll start right below your cuticle and float the product down- gravity helps this process and this product is a bit runny. use a brush with acetone to clean up the sides and around cuticle as you’ll probably have spillage especially as a beginner. you can also use a detail brush to move the builder gel as needed and get it as close to the sidewalls and cuticles without flooding them before curing you’ll want to flip your nail upside down for about 5-10 seconds to allow the builder gel to self level and create an apex, now you can cure your nails. (before curing i always take a brush with acetone and make sure there’s no spillage into my sidewalks or cuticles) after curing wipe with acetone to remove the sticky residue and you can file and paint the nails to your likely as you normally would! :) TIPS FOR BEGINNERS: it’s super important to file the nails after finishing the builder gel application- i mainly only file around my cuticles to make sure it’s flush with my natural nail, this also prevents lifting and was a total game changer for me i used a regular nail file for all of my filing, iv recently started using an e-file as it makes the process quicker, but you can do it either way! one thing i didn’t know, was the importance of gel application. making sure you apply every coat (base coat, gel polish, builder gel, top coat) as evenly as possibly across the ENTIRE nail- sidewall to sidewall, and around the cuticles making sure not to flood the cuticle as that will cause lifting within days. you want the slip layer, and the actual application to be as smooth as possible, the most important thing iv learned is to take my time when applying the slip layer and ensure the slip layer is smooth- it will almost guarantee that the bead application will turn out beautifully. iv gotten this part down to where the only filing i need to do after application is around my cuticles to make everything flush, and then crisping up the shaping a bit :) i also recommend only doing one finger at a time, otherwise the uncured builder gel may run and end up lumpy from gravity as you move your hand around. i like to do my thumb first on its own, then i’ll do my pointer and middle finger together, and my ring and pinky. but if you’re a beginner stick to one finger at a time :) i hope this helps someone ... show more

I’m a fan of the beetles line
Color: 3- A - Clear
I’m a fan of the beetles line. The builder is easy to apply and a little goes a long way to building up to the thickness you want on your nail. Have recommended to friends when asked what I have used in the past. I will say it works a little too well and will require patience when removing lol. So make sure you look into videos to learn how to carefully remove it. ... show more

Great results.
Color: Z - Jelly Pink
This is after a week. Great beginning builder gel! Make sure you use your base coat first. Build your apex, I am super hard on my nails and this gel is a game changer. I gel polished over the builder gel and I haven't gotten one chip. So happy with this product!!! My nails feel thick and long

Not bad
Color: B - Sheer Light Nude
I’m just starting to do my own nails at home using builder gel.The first time, I used this jelly nude builder,It was a bit tricky at first because it easily spills over onto the nail if you apply too much; once you figure out the right amount, it levels out better—though I imagine it will get easier with practice. Still, it wasn't bad for my first time using this type of product. The nail-polish style is very convenient since the brush makes application easier, and the gel itself is smoother—not as thick as the ones in large jars (I recently bought a clear one that is much thicker and harder to get out of the bottle). ... show more

Don’t buy unless last resort
Color: 0- A - Clear
OK for beginners would not recommend Beatles products any further than if you already bought it. There are many better brands here. I know this one seems to be the cheapest which is probably true but it chips and the builder gel doesn’t stay on your nail no matter how good you prep the longest I’ve got to stay was maybe a week Beatles is not a good brand in that sense, I can’t speak for nail polishes, however but this builder gel definitely stings, but I know that’s common for builder gels overall ... show more
