Brief overview:
Builder Gel is a gel system that can be soaked off. It is not a hard gel and it is kinder to the natural nail than hard gel is. Builder Gel also known as BIAB, is great for growing natural nails out, it prevents the natural from snapping. The main difference being that it can be infilled unlike gel polish.
You will learn how to apply, infill and remove, either on yourself, training hand or model.
