FZANEST Rubber Base Builder Gel for Nails Kit, 6pcs*7.5ml in a Bottle, Nail Strengthener Extension With Jelly Natural Nude Pink Colors, UV Soak Off Polish

I ordered this after seeing someone using it on a FB video. It looked very easy to use and was said to be better for your nails than acrylic. I stopped going to the salon about a year ago because they keep raising their prices for the same service that I've been getting for over 30 years. It's up to a ridiculous $55 before tip! Not to mention having to make an appointment then driving there. I loved my nail girl to pieces, been going to her for 10 years, but enough is enough! So with all that being said I have to say that I've finally found what's right for me. I tried the poly-gel in the tube/jar, didn't like it, I've also done my own acrylic but that smell is the worst and takes me hours. This brush on gel is so far the best. As you can see from my pics I've had these on for 13 days only having to fix one and that was because I put that particular nail on too thin. I'm VERY rough on my nails. I garden everyday, been picking weeds for the last 2 weeks and my hands are constantly in water. Either washing my hands or using the garden hose, I always have wet hands. My thumbs have a tip on them from the last time I did my nails with acrylic and they are on so good I didn't want to disturb them. I dremmled them then applied the brush on gel. They're on there soooo good! Today when I replaced my point finger I did use a tip because I ripped my own nail right off trying to take the gel off. Which brings me to the only negative- I couldn't get it off to save my life. I did try soaking it off with acetone, I may not have given it enough time, but it didn't want to come off. I'll work on that with the other 7 when I'm in need of a fill or replacement. I'll try to remember to update. Also, I couldn't believe I picked the color on the first try. This is my favorite nail color (looks exactly like OPI bubble bath!) so I don't need a polish just a top coat. I bought a sparkly top coat and it's perfect for me. There's a learning curve but nothing like learning to apply acrylic. So happy with this product and it's SO INEXPENSIVE!

This rubber base is everything! I have been using it for close to 2 months now and I am very happy with results. I used 1 thin layer at first but then have done a proper manicure to see how long it will last. First picture is on a day 2 (used natural nude pink, which is so on trend if you want to do the lipgloss manicure) and second on day 32 (here I added a layer of gel polish - creme de la femme by Gelish). I did fills at 2 and 4 weeks. There is no lifting if you prep your nails properly (clean nail bed, dehydrate and apply gel base - I use modelones). It does not self level as good as modelones builder gel I have used before, but I will take it given the benefit of growing long nails! It is easy to buff and shape. Colors...I have purchased set of 3 mini pinks and 3 mini nudes that is no longer offered. The pinks are very pink! and all 3 looked similar to the pictured one, except one had added shimmer. Nudes are all beautiful! Also purchased milky white (looks just like pictured) and natural (that one I did not love it looked like light pastel orange next to my skin tone). Please note, this is not a nail conditioner! It helps to grow nails by protecting them, giving them flexibility and strength. If you pick on your nails and peel it off it will cause damage as any UV/ LED gel!

Love this product. Just finished the bottle and will order another one. I’m not a nail expert I just do nails for myself and my mom. This color is so pretty on our brown skin. However- it’s very important that you have a good base for it to last long.

for background, I have done my nails myself for as long as I can remember, got acrylics a couple times at a chop shop and ruined my nails. I finally got them to grow back out but I just need them to be stronger and healthier so I'm trying builder gel now. pros: (1) milky white is the perfect shade for anyone who wants a white nail but doesn't want them to be in your face white. (2) definitely does its job as biab - relatively self leveling so even if it goes on a tad streaky it will smooth out a bit. (3) easy to clean up mistakes. (4) cures with a tacky layer so the top coat will stick. (5) directions are easy to follow cons: (1) suuuuuper goopy and thick so it will take some getting used to for beginners as far as application goes. (2) milky white, while the perfect shade, does need to be applied evenly to get a uniform look. (3) mine took a little shaping after application and curing just bc some areas ended up curing thicker even after thin brush adjustment. but it's not too hard to fix with a regular file/buffer. tip: make sure you prep your nails properly before applying for better retention. and the two week update everyone has been waiting for!! the second picture is two weeks of growth, you can see it has chipped in some places and (not pictured) two of them came off completely on my other hand, which is probably due to a combination of me using/washing my hands all the time for work and lazy prep work. The third picture is after taking it off. I will say you NEED to be patient when soaking them off (I wasn't on my pinky finger and thats why the top layer of nail is messed up a little). I used pure acetone for my soak off but I will be trying a brush-on remover next time. I do use a cuticle/nail oil every day (the one by bliss kiss is so nice) so that won't affect your retention as long as you prep correctly. I wouldn't recommend doing a fill with the milky colors unless you don't mind seeing where you filled or unless you put color/designs on top of it. Hope all of this helps! :)

First time trying a rubber base gel after investing a bunch of money on regular hard gel and builders. I work a lot with my hands and I recently started growing my nails out and no matter how well I prepped my weak nails, the regular builders (even gel polishes) just PEEL CLEAN OFF after a day or two. This rubber base has been on for 4 days and feels like it’s not going anywhere. No peeling, it looks good and has a bit of flex to it which is what my nails needed and explains why hard gels didn’t last. AND it levels like a dream. Im a beginner at this and it looks like I paid for this service lol.

This was my first time doing my nails with a rubber base builder gel. Heres my take Pro: - color quality - thick consistency (if that’s your preference) Con: - Burns more than another brand I tried when using UV - Thick consistency ( was not my preference) - very tacky, which makes it harder to self level This brand is a good starter bc in my opinion it’s harder to use which will force you to perfect your form. If you’re looking for good quality rubber base I would recommend modelones.

Frankly, I didn’t know what to expect from this. I had had my nails done at the salon about three weeks ago and they started to grow out. I bought this cause I thought well maybe I could do the fill by myself and it worked looks pretty good. I’m not very good at applying stuff, but it leveled out and filled in the space so I think it’s pretty good. I like it. They used the other one that was listed on here that was $20 so I opted for this one to see if it would work. I may get the other one, but this one’s fine for now. I’ll probably have to go to the salon every once in a while to get a professional job. I didn’t even remove the old polish because it was pretty much the same color so I just filled it in in a way we go. That’s a little thick though but that’s OK save myself $50.

The absolute perfect shade of pink! I'm very picky about what shade of clear pink is on my nails. This color is perfect whether I use 1 or 2 coats. (My image is with 2 coats!) And i found the consistently of the polish to be very easy to use. Kind of thick and sticky. It makes my nails thicker and less likely to break. And works great as a base to build on and use other color polishes on top. The only flaw I've found was that it always seems to peel around a week. But that might just be my nail prep making that happen. Not sure but I wish it would last longer!
