    Step By Step Guide

    Clear Builder Gel

    STEP 1. PREP

    File nails to shape and use a Mylee Buffing Block* to help gently remove shine from the nail plate. Wipe your nails with a dash of Mylee 2-in-1 Nail Prep & Wipe* on a Mylee Lint Free Wipe* to remove any oils. If you’re prone to lifting, apply the Mylee Dehydrator* followed by the Mylee Acid-Free Primer*.

    STEP 2. STRENGTHEN & LENGTHEN

    To strengthen, brush on 2-4 very thin layers of Mylee 5-in-1 Clear Builder Gel, curing each layer for 60 seconds. To build extensions of up to 1cm, attach a Mylee Paper Nail Form* and brush the Builder Gel over the entire nail, extending the tip, and cure for 60 seconds. Repeat this step to build a strong extension.

    STEP 3. ENCAPSULATE (OPTIONAL)

    To encapsulate loose glitter shake your favourite Mylee glitter* over cured Builder Gel, brush off any excess and seal with the 5-in-1 Clear Builder Gel then cure. Alternatively, paint on a dab of Builder Gel, pop on a jewel or decal, cure, encapsulate and cure again.

    STEP 4. FINISH

    Seal the deal with a Mylee Top Coat* and cure for 60 seconds. If using the regular Mylee Top Coat, remove the tacky layer with 2-in-1 Nail Prep & Wipe on a Lint Free Wipe. Alternatively skip this step and use a Mylee No-Wipe Top Coat*! Wash your hands, apply Mylee Nail & Cuticle Oil*, moisturise, and enjoy your salon-quality mani for up to 3 weeks!*

    Sheer Builder Gel

    STEP 1. PREP

    File nails to shape and use a Mylee Buffing Block* to gently remove shine from the nail plate. Wipe your nails with a dash of Mylee 2-in-1 Nail Prep & Wipe* on a Mylee Lint Free Wipe* to remove any oils. If you’re prone to lifting, apply the Mylee Dehydrator* followed by the Mylee Acid-Free Primer*.

    STEP 2. BASE

    Apply a thin layer of Mylee Clear 5-in-1 Builder Gel* to your nails and cure for 60 seconds using a Mylee LED Lamp* to lock it in.

    STEP 3. STRENGTHEN & LENGTHEN

    To strengthen, brush on 2-4 very thin layers of Mylee 5-in-1 Builder Gel, curing each layer for 60 seconds. To build extensions of up to 1cm, attach a Mylee Paper Nail Form* and brush the Builder Gel over the entire nail, extending the tip, and cure for 60 seconds. Repeat this step to build a strong extension.

    STEP 4. FINISH

    Seal the deal with a Mylee Top Coat* and cure for 60 seconds. If using the regular Mylee Top Coat, remove the tacky layer with 2-in-1 Nail Prep & Wipe on a Lint Free Wipe. Alternatively skip this step and use a Mylee No-Wipe Top Coat*! Wash your hands, apply Mylee Nail & Cuticle Oil*, moisturise, and enjoy your salon-quality mani for up to 3 weeks!

    Mylee Rosewood Super Pigment Builder Gel - 13ml

    Super Pigment Builder Gel

    STEP 1. PREP
    File nails to shape and use aMylee Buffing Block* to help gently remove shine from the nail plate. Wipe your nails with a dash ofMylee 2-in-1 Nail Prep & Wipe* on aMylee Lint Free Wipe* to remove any oils. If you’re prone to lifting, apply theMylee Prep Dehydrator* followed by theMylee Acid-Free Primer*.

    STEP 2. BASE
    Apply a thin layer of Mylee Clear 5-in-1 Builder Gel* to your nails and cure for 60 seconds using a Mylee LED Lamp* to lock it in.

    STEP 3. STRENGTHEN & LENGTHEN (BEGINNERS)
    To strengthen, brush on 2 layers of our thick Mylee Super Pigment Builder Gel, curing each layer for 99 seconds using the Mylee LED Lamp* on low heat mode. To build extensions of up to 1cm, attach a Mylee Paper Nail Form* and brush the Builder Gel over the entire nail, extending the tip, and cure for 99 seconds. Repeat this step to build a strong extension.

    STEP 3. STRENGTHEN & LENGTHEN (ADVANCED)
    To strengthen apply a slip layer of thick Mylee Super Pigment Builder Gel. Do not cure yet. Take a bead of Mylee Super Pigment Builder Gel and place this in the middle of your nail. Use your brush to push it down towards the cuticle and glide your brush side to side to slide the bead of gel up the nail. The gel should self level on your nail where you placed your slip layer. To lengthen up to 1cm, attach a Mylee Paper Nail Form* and apply your slip layer over the nail and form, and float your bead over the natural nail and up over the form too. Before curing your overlay or extension, turn your hand upside down for 10 seconds. This will create an apex in the middle of your nail which will provide structure and support for your overlay or extension. Turn your hand back over and cure for 99 seconds using the Mylee Grande LED Lamp* on Low Heat Mode to lock it in. Build and cure one nail at a time.

    STEP 4. FINISH
    Seal the deal with a Mylee Top Coat* and cure for 60 seconds. If using the regular Mylee Top Coat, remove the tacky layer with 2-in-1 Nail Prep & Wipe on a Lint Free Wipe. Alternatively skip this step and use a Mylee No-Wipe Top Coat*! Wash your hands, apply Mylee Nail & Cuticle Oil*, moisturise, and enjoy your salon-quality mani for up to 4 weeks!
