Builder Gel Nails in Palm Beach Gardens
Builder gel gives you strength and structure with a lighter, more natural feel than acrylic. I work with LiquidGel, and I build every set by hand.
What to Expect
I start by prepping your natural nails and asking about the length and shape you want. Builder gel can protect the length you already have or take you longer.
I apply the gel in thin layers and build an apex, the gentle curve that gives each nail its strength. Every layer cures under a lamp, so nothing has to dry. When the structure is set, I refine the shape and finish with gel color, a French look, chrome, cat eye, or custom art.
Your first visit is a full set. After that, fills keep everything balanced as your nails grow. Vagaro shows the time for each option when you book.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is builder gel?
It is a thicker gel that strengthens or extends your nails. It cures under a lamp and is more flexible than acrylic, which a lot of my clients find more comfortable.
How long do builder gel nails last?
I recommend a fill every two to three weeks. Builder gel holds up beautifully as your nails grow, and a fill brings the shape right back.
Is builder gel good for weak nails?
Yes. It is one of the best ways to protect thin or weak nails while they grow, because it adds strength without bulk.
Can I get chrome or cat eye on builder gel?
Yes. Chrome is $15. Cat eye and other custom finishes are priced by design, so bring photos of what you love.
Is builder gel the same as gel polish?
No. Gel polish is a thin layer of color. Builder gel is the strong structure underneath it.
