Thinking about booking a builder gel manicure in Cardiff? Here are answers to the most common questions our clients ask at Purely Nails.
Builder gel is a strong, versatile gel applied to your natural nails or extensions. It creates a durable base that supports nail growth, prevents breakage, and gives you a smooth, flawless finish. It’s ideal for clients who want long-lasting manicures with added strength.
With proper aftercare, builder gel nails typically last 3–4 weeks before an infill or refresh is needed. The treatment is designed for durability, giving you glossy, chip-free nails that stay looking beautiful between appointments.
Absolutely! Builder gel provides a strong, smooth canvas, making it perfect for custom nail art, intricate designs, or classic French tips. Whether you prefer something minimal or bold, your nails can be styled to suit your personality while staying strong and long-lasting.
