AIMEILIBuilder Base Sheer Color Gel, No Need Slip Solution Builder Extension, Soak Off Gel Nail Polish 6pcs X 10ml - Kit Set 34

Good product. I prefer the Orly just not as many color options. This product was difficult to use because it was so thick. But there was a review that said to put the closed bottle in some hot water. Man that sure did the trick! I love this stuff. I’ll probably buy more colors now that I know the trick. Highly recommend.

I normally get Russian manicures but it has started getting too expensive. Russian manicures use a very similar product. I was skeptical about this product not being a professional brand (I’m licensed in the beauty industry) but I really love it! My nail length is natural and I don’t like to make mine too thick because I don’t like the fake acrylic look. On most of my nails, I have on one coat of #153. For a couple nails that had misshapen tips, I built up to make them thicker. Important tips… Do one nail at a time for the most consistent results. Place a really thin coat over the nail and then place a smaller bead on the Apex area to build a gentle curve. Every few seconds hold the nail upside down, so the product falls into place. Work quickly, so the product doesn’t drip down the sides. Cure the nail for 90 seconds then do the next one. When it comes to the thumb and you’re ready to cure, do not place your hand flat or the product will drip and one side of your thumbnail will be a lot thicker than the other. Instead make a fist and lay your thumb flat on top and then put your hand in your lamp that way.

I love the sheer colors that aren't the pink or peach. The gel is a thick and slow to level builder gel so there's time to work without flooding your cuticles. It took a couple manicures of getting a few slight dents in my nails to figure out that it takes 2 minutes in my 48W light to fully cure the gel.

Everyone complains that it’s too thick but when used as a builder gel, I feel like it’s the perfect consistency. Just use the tip of the brush. Don’t actually paint it on like a polish. When I’m using it as a polish, or glue for false nails, then warming it up definitely works better but it’s not the end of the world if I don’t. If I forget to warm it, then I do 1 of 2 things. 1. I put a small amount on a little dish, then use a different brush that’s dipped in 70 percent isopropyl alcohol, to apply it; that way, I can control the amount I’m applying and am able put on a thin coat. 2. I use the brush from the bottle, put a small amount on the nail, and then use a different brush (dipped in alcohol) to spread it. Works beautifully.To warm it up, I put the bottle under my bum while I do my prep. By the time I get to the builder gel/polish/glue it’s a perfect consistency. I no longer do nails professionally, just my own and friends and family. If I was in a salon. . . Well, I’d probably put it under my bum anyway. I’m lazy and it’s faster than waiting around for warm/hot water.

I did both my hands and by the end of week 1 I only had one hand left done. That hand for some reason was very sturdy but when I wanted them off I could simply just peel it off and I did. I will say this peel off had more tug than most but I just don't get it.The Pros:1. It truly built up like an acrylic nail! I was in loveeeee.2. The colors were very nice bases to choose from. It looks so natural3. It was easy to use, the consistency was greatCons:1. Didn't last, this is for a quick weekend event at least for meI do want to mention that I did use the modelones nail dehydrator and primer. That might have something to do with it but cannot confirm.

I had to put each color on a tile so I could tell the colors apart. They are sheer and range form very light to medium, I labeled the bottles 1-6 1 being the lightest 6 the darkest color. you need to only use a thing layer at a time to build the nail. cure after each layer. I used alcohol to remove the sticky layer from the nail and the tile.

So glad I picked up more of these. I tried the clear first and I love the colors with just a tint to add to natural nails. I work as an engineer and the strong gel has saved my nails from disaster many times. Plus it soaks off easily and is easy to apply when you get the hang of it.

I bought this as an alternative to polygel in a tube thinking it would be quicker for application… noI applied the white color to my toes and honestly my first impression was that it runs. This product needs to be flash cured with a finger sized lamp as soon as applied 😑 because by the time you get to your next nail its already running and pooling all around your finger and trust me I applied a light coat. They need to change the formula to make it thicker.What I do like is that it smells nice. Like perfume. I can tell they tried combat the strong gel scent. But still its strong just better than that strong toxic gel scent. Also its not so sheer 2 coats is enough.I dont know how long it will last. If you have one of those mini flash cure lamps you might like it.

Thick easy to use however it isn’t healthy for your nails like sns so wouldn’t really recommend if your trying to grow your natural nails

Love the product, price, and colour range. Very easy to use. Definitely recommend it.

These are good, apply evenly & levelled but I just find the colours in each batch/pack are too similar. One shade difference in each bottle is barely noticeable. Almost like buying 6 bottles of same colour. I'd prefer they make packs of very different shade & colour options. I find these coloured ones build better than the clear of same brand which can become a little soft & peel after a couple of days. I've seen reviews claiming it doesn't cure. I use a 168w uv/led lamp & it cures fairly well or as good as soft gel cures. The only thing with soft gel based products is trying to file & smooth after curing is difficult because it doesnt dry like hard gel or acrylic where they harden straight away. I use a cheap top coat to harden it then file & smooth followed by applying colour & good top coats. Can also just add base but that still leaves sticky layer. I apply these with applicator brush but smooth & clean lines with a proper gel brush. I find builder base are kinder on cuticles than acrylic. Can also file down (I use efile) & refill as needed so dont have to put a new set of tips each application.

works, but some are quite thick and all are very sheer and like different shades of the same colour - not a variety of colours like it appears.

Affordable and easy to use
