Colour Accuracy

Colours may appear differently on screen than in person. Unfortunately it is impossible to replicate a colour accurately on screen, however we do our best to get as close as possible. This is because different displays render colours completely differently. Additionally, colours can look different against skin tones, different backgrounds and in different lighting.

Compatibility

We cannot guarantee polishes or lamps from other brands will work with our products, as they have been designed to work at a complementary wavelength.

Ingredients

Acrylates Copolymer, Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate, Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide, May Contain: Colour Pigments.

    More like light orange!

    Sadly it looks nothing like the picture, I followed the instructions and mine is orange! will have to just use it as a base under other colours until I use it up.

    Hi Alice,

    Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with our Nude Builder Gel. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to assist you.

    The Nude Builder Gel is designed to add strength to your manicure, offering a subtle, natural look with a single coat. As seen in our marketing photos, the model is wearing just one coat and the thumb swatch is wearing two coats, which provides a lighter and more transparent finish. However, when multiple coats are applied, the color intensity increases, which can result in a brighter and more opaque appearance.

    Based on the photo you sent, it looks like there are three coats applied, which is why the color appears more vibrant and orange compared to the marketing images. To achieve a closer match to the photos on our website, we recommend applying one or two thin coats, allowing each layer to cure for 60 seconds under the UV/LED Gel Nail Lamp before applying the next layer.

    We understand how important it is to get the perfect look, so if you have any further questions or need additional tips on application, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help!

    Not Nude

    I’ve been using gelous products for 2 years now and have always loved them! I ordered this nude builder gel and it’s definitely not nude. Not happy with this at all 🙁

    A great product. .

    For people like me who have nails that flake and split it gives an added layer of protection.

    What went wrong

    I was so excited to use this builder after reading good reviews. I used rubber base coat , 2 layers of builder gel, 2 layers of colour coat & a layer of rubber top coat. I did my nails Thursday afternoon & my nail cracked in the middle on the Monday . 3 days later. So disappointed. What did I do wrong? Followed instructions religiously. Not my first time either to use these tools. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Hi Esther,

    It sounds like you have done everything correctly, however, Builder Gel isn't indestructible. It will help prevent breakages and add strength, but breaks can of course still occur.
