FAQs

Is Builder Gel The Same As Magic Extender Gel?

No, Builder Gel is not the same as Magic Extender Gel. Builder Gel is a thicker gel consistency, which comes into a bottle and can be brushed onto the nails to create strength or short extensions. 

Extender Gel has the consistency of paste and comes in a tube making it perfect forcreating natural-looking nails. We sell a range of Magic Extender Nail Gel products that are perfect for creating salon-worthy nails at home.

Can Builder Gel Be Used With Tips?

Yes, Builder Gel can be used with tips. Builder Gel is a very versatile product, so you can use it to create a variety of different nail looks. If you're using Builder Gel with tips, we recommend applying Builder Gel to the nail and tips, then apply the tip before curing under a UV or LED lamp to keep it in place.

Can Builder Gel Be Used As A Base Coat?

Absolutely! Builder Gel can be used as a base coat. Builder Gel is a great product to use as a base coat because it helps to strengthen and protect the nails. Additionally, Builder Gel provides a great foundation for your nail art designs.

If you're using Builder Gel as a base coat, we recommend applying a thin layer of clear Builder Gel to the nails and curing under a UV or LED lamp. 

Once the clear Builder Gel is cured, you can then apply your chosen colour polish or top coat. We do recommend using a base coat underneath all Mylee coloured Builder Gels.

Can Builder Gel Be Used As Top Coat?

Builder Gel can be used as a top coat. Using a clear Builder Gel is a great product to use as a top coat because it provides a high-shine, long-lasting finish. 

Additionally, Builder Gel helps to protect your nails from chipping and peeling. You can use a dedicated top coat over your Builder Gel for a shiny finish. 

We offer Builder Gel in peach, pink, white and clear so you can choose the best shade to suit your nails.

How Do You Remove Builder Gel?

1. Buff the surface of the nails with a nail file. This must be done firmly as the surface must be opened up to allow you to penetrate the UV lacquer, but be careful not to damage the nail.
2. You will need to file off the majority of Builder Gel before moving onto soaking.
3. Soak a cotton pad with Mylee Gel Remover and place onto the nail plate, securing with a foil wrap.
4. After 10 to 15 minutes, firmly pull pads off the nails, making sure you gently push away any loose product with a cuticle pusher or orange stick.
5. If there is product remaining on the nail, re-buff and re-wrap the nail.
6. Once the product is removed, apply cuticle oil and hand cream to hydrate your nails.

With both Builder Gel and poly gel - if you want to just infill, you don’t need to fully remove every time.
