Builder Gel & Hard Gel

The strongest, most natural-looking way to wear your own nails longer. Both are sculpted by hand — a skill not every salon offers, and the one we’re proudest of.

Builder Gel

strong & natural

A thicker gel floated over your natural nail and shaped with an apex for strength — finished in our signature sheer, milky pink.

  • Strengthens short, bendy or peeling nails
  • Natural “your nails, but better” look
  • Typically wears 3–4 weeks with proper care

Hard Gel

the toughest finish

A dense, glossy gel built and shaped by hand into a durable shell — for hands that are tough on manicures.

  • Our most chip- and crack-resistant finish
  • Rigid base for sculpted 3D nail art
  • Carefully filed off — never soaked or peeled

UV Fill60 min$60

Sculpted, not just painted

Each overlay is shaped by hand with the apex placed exactly where your nail needs support.

Made to last

Structured gel resists chips and breaks far better than regular polish — weeks, not days.

Kind to natural nails

Careful prep and patient, professional removal keep your own nails healthy set after set.
