Reviews

LOVE IT!!!

"I really love these products and company. I suffer from hand eczema and I can do longer have acrylic or press ons, so I was so happy when I found a company with cleaner ingredients that do not cause flare ups for me. This kit is so easy to use and the directions are so detailed. I'm very happy with my purchase."

— Margaret R. (5/5)

The most natural extention ever!

"This is my format time trying builder gel nail extensions, I love them! Definitely didn't get it perfect on the first try but with practice I think I can get it next time. I'm in love with how natural they feel and don't pinch and lift up on my natural flat thin nails like press ons do. Definitely will be trying again! I put rose glaze on top of strawberry marshmallow to give it a pink iridescent look."

Impressed!

"Pretty solid builder gel. Long lasting and strong. I’ve always had thin nails and the builder gel let me grow them out!!"

— Amy (5/5)

I love this builder gel.

"I love this builder gel. There was a bit of a learning curve, especially for extensions. I have the hang of it now. I just apply to my natural nails for added strength. Sometimes I leave them clear for a natural look or add gel polish in one of the great colors. My nails look great for up to 3 weeks!"

— Debbie N. (5/5)

Nice nail set

"Really impressed with the pricing of the kits and everything it comes with. I love getting 6+ colors to play with as well since most other kits give you only 1. It was very straightforward and easy to use. I need to get better with the poppy as I am used to turning the brush when painting, but it makes me much more steady."

Lavender Frost builder gel

"If you’re looking for the perfect nude - this is it! This is my first time using builder gel and I’m so impressed with the quality and ease! 3 weeks in and my nails still look amazing!"

— Karly S. (5/5)

There’s a learning curve

"I have very thin nails, but like to have them grown out. I can’t do just gel polish because my nails bend and it causes peeling. The builder gel is amazing! It gave me incredible strength to do a gel polish over top. There is a learning curve to the application. That I’m sure I will get better at with more comfort. But overall, I LOVE this product!"

— Megan (5/5)

"Paid a lot for this gel, manni System with builder gel, upon arrival the nail strengthening leaked okay, and then the color inking and the color lilac luxe are very thick and goopy despite me shaking them before use. the rest of the colors are fine, i do like the colors and it seems like it's a good product. If it works right. But I don't know if I will buy from Olive and June again."

— Christy (3/5)

Product great, container not

"Love the builder gel, works fine, tje bottle itself is horrible and no matter how careful i am with any of them and how often I clean them, they leak everywhere which is dangerous and will give someone a gel allergy."

— Savannah H. (2/5)

Learning curve but still looks good!

"This is Blush Bounce with a non-O&J pearl chrome powder over it. I love the peachy-neutral color of the builder gel and will definitely use it a lot more times without the chrome powder, but wanted to try with chrome this time. It’s a bit of a learning curve to use the builder gel but I’m sure I’ll get better with practice. It did burn at first but I followed the video instructions to remove quickly for a few seconds and then reinsert under the lamp, and that worked well. Love the feel of the builder gel…feels more like a pro gel mani."

Q&A

Hello! If I'm using the builder gel on its own, should I use a top coat? Or is the plain gel okay to stand on its own after curing with the lamp?
Great question! Yes. If you’re using Builder Gel on its own, we recommend finishing with a Gel Top Coat after curing the Builder Gel to seal and protect your manicure. If you’re adding gel color over the Builder Gel, you’ll still need a Gel Top Coat after your color to finish and protect the manicure.
If I'm planning to use builder gel and a gel color on top, is there a coat of something I need in between the builder and the gel? Or is it ok to just go straight in with gel after curing the builder gel?
Great question! You can go straight from cured Builder Gel into your gel color; no extra coat is needed in between. Just apply your gel color directly onto the fully cured builder layer, then finish with a gel top coat to seal everything in.
Can the builder gel be cured by any lamp or does in have to be an Olive and June lamp?
Great question! Builder gel needs to be cured using an Olive & June LED lamp. Our builder gel formula is specifically designed to work with the output and timing of the Olive & June lamp to ensure proper curing and durability. Using other lamps may result in incomplete curing or lifting.
When using builder gel, do I first add a coat of regular gel polish base coat? Or do I go straight in with the builder gel?
Great Question! You can go straight in with the builder gel. You do not need to apply a regular gel base coat first; the peel-off base is totally optional for easy removal.
