The Modelones builder gel kit came inside a box and the kit was packaged up in a shiny bubble pack. What you can do to prevent package waste is to keep it on hand for when you need to package up something in the future.

Or another way you can reuse bubble envelopes is to use them for mixing nail polish on. Just cut it up into small pieces to have them on hand for when you are swatching or playing with color combinations.

What’s included in the modelones builder gel set

1. 2oz builder gel in a pot

2. 100 nail forms

3. Brush that has a dotting tool on the other side

This builder gel set comes with a brush, 100 nail forms and the builder gel. The gel comes with 2 fluid oz which is a good amount. If you have not tried builder gel yet, you will find that this gel is pretty easy to work with for a gel that comes in a pot.

There was no odor when we opened it up and it was super shiny and clear.

The brush is soft and it has a dotting tool on the other end for when you need to make dots on your manicure. You can also use the dotted side to gently push down nail art stickers and dried flowers for nail art embeds.

Use the included nail extensions for when you want to build up your natural nail. One of the most important things when using nail extensions like these is to make sure it’s fitting snugly underneath your natural nail.

This gel is self leveling so do make sure the extension is snug to prevent the gel from going into places where you don’t want it.

Modelones states in their listing that this is a super clear, hard gel. It has 11 toxin-free ingredients and botanical extracts in their formula.

This builder gel will give nails a high endurance & long-lasting strength. You can use this on natural nails and also on tips or forms. This builder gel is often used in easy builder gel tutorials since it is very thick and great for someone who is just starting out.

It is very popular because it will provide you with a long lasting manicure that won’t damage the nail beds. The nice thing about builder gels is that they are not runny and won’t set until you cure them under a proper UV light.

So you have plenty of time to work with it to make sure it’s in the right places on the nail.

This is going to give you a hard cured manicure that will last for about 3 weeks. You can extend this time if your nails don’t grow very quickly. If you are hard on your nails, it’s easy to fix any broken nails with this builder gel.

Also, you can go back with this gel to extend the life of your nails by adding a little bit more to the cuticle area when your nail is growing out.

Do be careful not to put too much on or to get it on the skin around the cuticle area.

If you are finding that the gel is pooling around the sides of the nail, just tip it over for 10 seconds. The gel will start to move to the center of the nail.

There’s a helpful builder gel tips article that you might want to check out for some helpful advice when using builder gels.

The gel will completely harden after about 60 seconds under a lamp. Then you can wipe the sticky layer off and start to file the nail. The gel files really easily so do be aware of that so you do not start filing into your elements by accident.

This builder gel can be filed with a regular 180g nail file or your efile.

Once the top coat was brushed on and cured, the gel coating really came to life. It is super clear, shiny and has a hard surface. The glitter inside was sparkling like crazy. We were really happy with these results.
