Why Mylee Builder Nail Gel is a kit essential

Our collection of Builder Gel is a favourite for getting professional, salon-quality results at home. It is a high-viscosity gel designed for short nail extensions and as a protective overlay to provide your natural nails with that extra strength and durability.

Our Builder Gel Formulas

We offer our premium, salon-approved builder gel in two high-performance formulations. Our classic 5-In-1 Builder Gel provides a sheer, highly natural finish (available in clear and delicate tints), while our Super Pigment Builder Gel delivers rich, opaque, high-impact colour. Both formulas are HEMA and TPO-Free.

No matter which formula or shade you choose, we always recommend applying a thin layer of classic Clear 5-In-1 Builder Gel as your base coat underneath to guarantee safe, perfect adhesion and nail protection.

Pro Tip

The right application is the key for long lasting nails. Always apply a base layer of Clear 5-In-1 Builder Gel before using any of our builder gels. 5-In-1 Builder Gel cures in 60 seconds, while our Super Pigment Formula requires 99 seconds. Use the Mylee Grande Lamp on Low Heat Mode to help avoid heat spikes.

FAQs

What is builder gel used for?

Builder gel is designed to add strength and durability to your natural nails. It can be used as a protective overlay to prevent breakage or to create short nail extensions of up to 1cm. It is ideal for anyone looking to grow out their natural nails while maintaining a chip-free, salon-quality finish.

How long does Mylee Builder Gel take to cure?

Curing times depend on the formula you are using. 5-In-1 Builder Gel requires 60 seconds under a Mylee LED lamp. Our Super Pigment Formula, which has a higher density of colour, requires a 99-second cure. To help avoid heat spikes during the process, we recommend using the Mylee Grande Lamp on Low Heat Mode.

Do I need a base coat with builder gel?

Yes. For the best adhesion and to protect your natural nails, any of our builder gels (including the Super Pigment range) require a base coat of Clear 5-In-1 Builder Gel first.

How do I remove builder gel at home without damage?

To remove safely, start by firmly buffing the surface of the gel to break the seal. Use a Mylee Nail Wipe saturated with Mylee Gel Remover, then secure it to the nail using Mylee Soak Off Clips or our pre-made Foil Remover Wraps.

Wait 15 minutes before gently pushing away the softened gel with a Wooden Cuticle Stick. Never peel the gel, as this can damage the natural nail plate.

Can I use builder gel with tips?

Mylee Builder Gel is designed for overlays and short extensions (up to 1cm) created with Nail Forms. If you are looking to apply full-cover tips, we recommend our Fix ‘N’ Flash system.

Can I use builder gel as a top coat?

Our Clear 5-In-1 Builder Gel can be used as a high-shine top coat to finish your manicure. However, for the most durable protection against daily wear and the best possible gloss, we recommend finishing with a dedicated Mylee No Wipe Top Coat.
