Gum Gel

Gum Gel is a specialized type of nail enhancement product, also commonly known as builder gel or hard gel, used to create strong, flexible, and lightweight extensions or overlays on natural nails. Unlike traditional acrylics, gum gel is a thick, viscous substance that is applied with a brush and cured under a UV or LED lamp to harden into a durable, glossy finish. It is particularly valued for its self-leveling properties, which make it easier to achieve a smooth, even surface without extensive filing. Gum gel is ideal for building structure, repairing breaks, adding length, or simply providing a protective layer that helps natural nails grow longer and stronger. It can be used with forms to create extensions or applied directly over the nail bed, and it is available in clear, pink, white, and colored varieties. Popular among both nail technicians and at-home enthusiasts for its professional results and ease of use, gum gel offers a less odorous and more flexible alternative to acrylics, making it a go-to choice for those seeking resilient, natural-looking nail enhancements.
