Mylee 5 in 1 Builder Base Strengthening Gel 15ml, UV/LED Nail Polish Coat for Hard Strong Nails Tips & Extensions, For Nail Art Decoration, Decals & Jewels, Professional Manicure Repair (Light Pink)

Great product I don’t have the best nails but it covered everything & stays in place

I absolutely love this Mylee builder gel nail polish. It’s been a total game changer! Instead of making trips to the salon, I can now do my nails at home, and they look just as great. I’ve been using it for four months now, and it’s super convenient, especially with a baby since I don’t have to travel to the salon anymore. I typically apply three to four coats and it lasts around three to four weeks before I choose to remove it and reapply. The color I use is the light pink which looks just as pretty. I use a base coat, the builder gel, and then the color or top coat. Highly recommend it and can’t wait to purchase other colours!

Good quality, easy to use and fairly fast drying.

I’ve been using this Mylee 5-in-1 Builder Base gel for a few months now while learning how to do my own nails, and it’s been really helpful. The clear formula is easy to work with and cures well under my lamp. It definitely gives my nails extra strength—I’ve been able to add decals and little jewels without any issues.You can apply it in thin layers if you’re going for a more natural look, but I’ve also tried doing a thicker layer and it really adds strong stability to the nails. If it doesn’t lift, you can just file it down and refill instead of removing it completely, which saves a lot of time.I sometimes get lifting at the tips, but I know that’s more to do with my application than the product itself. Overall, it’s been a great multitasker—easy to use, strong, and perfect if you’re just starting out or looking for something reliable to build and protect your nails.

I’ve e used this product for about 2 years now, it does what it says.If the prep is done correctly, there’s minimal lifting on the edges and nothing at the base. The photos are of day 1 vs 22. There’s a little cracking on index and middle fingers of dominant hand and some minor lifting on the edges on some nails but nothing major.Main things to be aware of:Prep well, dehydrate the nail. I’d personally only do a dry manicure before applying this product, otherwise the leftover moisture will lift the product right away.it’s a runny product, so you must shape, level, cure each nail individually. It take a while to figure out how to get an even finish. I tend to apply, clean any excess and the flip and turn the nail until the apex is where I want it, then into the lamp upside down.Take as long as needed to clean the product off the skin before you cure, it otherwise it will lift right away and look terrible anyway. You need less than you think.I’d personally try not to layer the builder gel and apply all the product you need in one go; I’ve found it tends to crack and lift easier and last much less if layered.You may experience heat spikes. I just take my hands out of the lamp, cool off and back in. It happens, but not always.

Easy to create beatiful nails, looks like a professional manicure, easy to remove (much easier than with regular gel varnish), and covers ridges and unevenness very well. However, the bottle dries out very quickly (after just 3 uses its now become too dry to give even coverage) and chips quickly after just 4-5 days.

Since discovering Essence peel off gel in Wilko I had been doing my nails at home with UV gel and a lamp. A peel off gel, whilst the nail colour does not last quite as long, it is easy to remove so you can easily change colours. However this was discontinued though I did find a stockist when in Majorca! Once that ran out I was back to the age old problem of removal which was wrecking my nails so I went back to expensive salon treatments as the experts with the right tools could remove the old varnish with less damage and they used a powder layer to strengthen my nails. After Lockdown and removal my nails were paper thin so I tried dipping powders. Much easier to remove but quite a faff to apply perfectly. The initial kit was quite expensive and though the system was great there is 6 different bottles to use plus the color dipping powder. I needed an electronic file to smooth the dipping powder as my application wasn't that even initially. I didn't really like any of the resulting colors and they were not very shiny but the system did make my nails feel really strong. That is until removal which took ages even with an electronic USB nail drill. I left my nails bare for 6 weeks using lots of strengtheners and oils but as soon as they grew a decent length they flaked. Then I read about Builder Gel on a local salons blog. I looked and was amazed Amazon sold it so after reading about the process in the blurb below I immediately ordered some and some paper nail forms. Using the nail forms to extend your nails is tricky but there are videos on Youtube. I used alone on nails that had reached a good length and it was so easy. Took me a while to get the hang of extending a nail but really pleased and amazed at the outcome. The trick is too make sure your nail form is lined up correctly under you own nail tip and that it looks flat from the side. Don't extend the gel too much or it will take ages to file into place and you don't want to clip any extra off as you may make it split or crack. A good tip when you have painted the gel on is to turn your nail upside down so the gel levels. This is explained on Youtube. You need to prep your nails properly with prep and wipe and then primer, apply the gel, cure, then colour layers, cure, top gel layer, cure, prep and wipe solution to remove residue. On one nail while the gel was wet I applied gem stones all over and then another layer of gel before the final cure. It is easy to add decorative effects which stick to the gel. I've read that you can use with ordinary nail varnish as log as you use a non acetone remover which would melt the extensions so I will probable try that next so I can change colors more often.

Very thick liquid! But came out well. They’re very clear, more so than pink but this is fine for me as it can double up with coloured gel paint. Nails do feel stronger than the regular clear gel builder gel though.
