Understanding the Difference Between Hard Gel and Builder Gel

When it comes to nail enhancements, one of the most common questions is: What’s the difference between hard gel and builder gel? Both are excellent options, but their uses and strengths vary, making it essential to choose the right one for your clients.

Hard Gel is a durable, non-porous product. It creates a strong, acetone-resistant base and is ideal for clients who need added strength or length. Hard gel needs to be filed off during removal, making it a long-lasting option. It’s perfect for sculpting extensions that need to withstand daily wear and tear.

On the other hand, Builder Gel can be soft, semi-hard, or hard, offering flexibility alongside strength. It’s applied directly to natural nails or tips, creating a smooth structure while promoting natural nail growth. Builder gel provides a lighter feel than hard gel, making it great for clients who prefer a natural look with added resilience.

For the best results, we recommend Dolla Nails Pro’s upcoming product - Builder Gel. It’s easy to work with, cures quickly under LED lamps, and comes in a variety of shades for a flawless finish.

Whether your client needs hard gel for durability or builder gel for a natural touch, understanding their lifestyle and preferences will guide you to the perfect choice. Stay tuned and we will let you know when it's available for purchase!
