Build up gel is easy to use, self levels and feels more like a proper nail extension gel when on. It's really strong so needs to be applied in the same way, thicker, reinforcement in the apex etc. Great for adding a small amount of length with forms or tips and files easily.
It's a soak off gel (but it does take awhile as it's so close to a hard gel) the bottle is wider and brush is bigger which makes it easier to apply.
Double cure - with any base gel that has a pigment you need to give it extra time under the lamp, it will make all the difference.
