A year ago I could barely polish my nails and make them look nice, so I went to the salon every two weeks religiously until COVID shut everything down. My natural nails break easily and are very flexible, so with out some sort of enhancement I am doomed to have nubs. I started out doing my own dip powder (with a different company) until I was introduced to iGel. I have been thoroughly impressed with every powder I've purchased, so when I started looking into doing builder gel and peel base (to cut down on using acetone for removal) iGel is the first place I came to. I am so happy I decided to purchase this! This builder gel is a very workable consistency, levels out beautifully, and files down like a dream. I planned to use it as a base overlay on my natural nails for my dip powder manis, but I have found myself just using this and letting it shine. The only downside is because it looks so great I have gotten lazy when it comes to using my powders! I highly recommend this product and plan to repurchase it in the future, or I may just grab it in some additional colors.
