Clear Builder Gel XL

1. For the perfect nail prep, please ensure you have read and followed our detailed ‘How To’ guide under ‘Nail Preparation’.

2. Begin by applying one coat of our 2in1 Base Coat and Extension Gel Adhesive. Be sure to cap the free edge for a complete seal, then cure for 60 seconds under our Nail Lamp.

OPTION ONE - Builder Gel Structure Application

3. Apply a thin, even layer of Clear Builder Gel — this is your slip layer (do not cure this layer)

4. Pick up a small bead of Clear Builder Gel and float it over the nail to build structure, focusing on creating a smooth apex.

5. Use a thin liner brush in our Nail Art Brush Set to gently guide the gel toward the side walls and cuticle line for even coverage.

6. Turn your hand upside down for a few seconds to help the gel self-level and create the perfect shape.

7. Flash cure the nail for 10 seconds under the Ezmio Nail Lamp or Flash Cure Lamp to prevent the gel from moving.

8. Complete one finger at a time, then cure using the 99s low heat mode setting (this will help avoid heat spikes).

9. Optional – After curing, remove the sticky layer with an Alcohol Prep Pad, then refine the shape of your nails using our Essential Buffer and Essential File.

10. Apply a thin coat of our One Step Gel Polish to your nails. Cure for 60 seconds under our nail lamp. Ensure you leave a tiny margin around the cuticle and edges of nails to avoid any gel polish touching your skin, resulting in a clean finish. Repeat this step until you achieve your desired opacity.

11. (Optional) Apply a coat of our No Wipe Top Coat, making sure to cap the free edge. Cure for 60 seconds under our Nail Lamp.

12. Finish by applying Cuticle Oil and gently massaging it into your skin for a salon-quality result.

OPTION TWO - Quick Application

3. Apply 2 thin coats of Clear Builder Gel, cure using the 99s low heat mode setting (this will help avoid heat spikes) after each coat.

4. Apply a thin coat of our One Step Gel Polish to your nails. Cure for 60 seconds under our nail lamp. Ensure you leave a tiny margin around the cuticle and edges of nails to avoid any gel polish touching your skin, resulting in a clean finish. Repeat this step until you achieve your desired opacity.

5. (Optional) Apply a coat of our No Wipe Top Coat, making sure to cap the free edge. Cure for 60 seconds under our Nail Lamp.

How to Store Gel Polish

To keep your gel polish performing at its best, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, or open flames. Always make sure the lid is tightly closed after each use to prevent air exposure, thickening, or curing inside the bottle.

Avoid storing near UV/LED lamps (even when turned off), as ambient light can begin to cure the product over time.

For best results, use within 12 months of opening and clean the bottle neck regularly to keep the lid airtight and easy to open.

How to Clean the Neck of Your Gel Bottle

Over time, gel polish can build up around the neck of your bottle — making it harder to open and potentially letting air in, which thickens your polish.

To keep your gel fresh and your bottle easy to use:

Use a lint-free wipe soaked in isopropyl alcohol (or gel cleanser).

Wipe around the bottle neck and inside the cap threads to remove any dried product.

Avoid using acetone, as it can damage the bottle or affect the polish.

Clean the neck after each use if possible — especially before storing it away.

Pro Tip: A clean bottle neck also prevents that dreaded “crusty lid” moment and helps your polish last longer!
