Have questions about builder gel nails? Here are answers to help you feel confident and prepared for your visit to Ems Pretty Nails in Bootle, ensuring you’re ready to experience stunning nails.
Builder gel, like Dali Artistic GRO Gel, is a thick, HEMA-free gel that strengthens natural nails or adds subtle extensions, cured under a UV/LED lamp for a durable finish. BIAB (Builder in a Bottle), such as The GelBottle’s product, is a specific brand with a thinner consistency, ideal for overlays. Both promote nail health, but GRO Gel offers a wider range of colours and is used at our Bootle studio for versatile, long-lasting results.
With proper care, builder gel nails last 3–4 weeks without chipping, thanks to the durable, HEMA-free Dali Artistic GRO Gel. Regular use of cuticle oil and avoiding harsh chemicals help maintain your nails’ strength and appearance in Bootle’s busy lifestyle.
Yes, Dali Artistic GRO Gel is ideal for weak or damaged nails, providing a protective overlay that strengthens and promotes natural nail growth. Our Bootle studio tailors treatments with aftercare advice, like daily cuticle oil, to ensure healthy, resilient nails.
