Pro Tip for Professionals:
- Why the "Wet Layer" Technique? Using a slip layer acts like a "track" for the builder gel. Instead of the gel sitting where you drop it, it follows the path of the wet gel, significantly reducing the amount of brush work and filing required.
- Avoid the Cuticle: Always leave a tiny gap (about 1mm) between the gel and the cuticle to prevent lifting.
- Temperature Matters: If the gel is too thick in winter, warm the jar slightly in your hands; if it’s too runny in summer, keep it in a cool, dark place.

Mia V.
This white is stable and thin enough to layer exactly how I need it for the tip structure of long nails. It gives me a clean, sharp line, and the low heat makes clients happy. It truly is professional quality, and because of the great price, it’s the most cost-effective white in my supply cabinet.
Jenna R.
I use this white for a full nail overlay when I want a bright, clean look. I follow the directions and use thin coats because it covers so well. The color is so crisp and fresh—it never looks yellow or dingy. It’s also very strong and has not chipped on me once.
Alex B.
The 70% opacity in one coat is accurate and makes defining the smile line fast. The self-leveling formula saves me valuable time during the sculpting phase. I also love that the brand asks for photo reviews, so I know I'm getting a consistent, reliable product every time. This is a must-have cool white.
Sarah K.
I needed a white that wasn't too warm, and this Opal shade is perfect! It’s a clean, cool white that looks great on lighter skin tones. It has good coverage (70% in one layer!) and it self-levels so nicely, which saves me filing time. The quality for the price is fantastic; it’s a big win for my salon.
Loran K.
I use white gel a lot, but I hated the heat spike when curing. This gel is amazing because it has reduced heat. It barely warms up when I cure it! I use it for the white tips, and it stays strong for 28 days. Plus, I love that I can see the sample photos on the site to check the color first.
