TrueBuild is our strongest builder gel to date. Formulated for strength, structure, and performance. This traditional-style builder has zero flex and doesn’t require a base coat. Perfect for sculpting with control and building long-lasting, durable overlays.

Why choose TrueBuild?

Traditional, rigid builder gel feel
Thicker viscosity = easier sculpting control
No base coat needed – apply straight to the natural nail or over TrueBond
Increased durability for longer wear
Self-levelling despite a thicker texture

How to use TrueBuild

Apply directly to the natural nail or over a cured layer of TrueBond.
Apply a paper-thin layer and cure for 60 seconds (or 99 seconds on low heat mode).
Optional: lay down a thin wet slip layer to help guide your builder bead.
Use a liner brush to guide product into the cuticle and side walls.
Tip the client’s hand upside down to help create an even apex.
Cure fully, remove the inhibition layer with IPA if refining, or apply top coat/colour directly.
For removal: debulk 80–90% before soaking in acetone for 10 minutes. Use a cuticle knife to gently remove residue and smooth with a buffer.

What makes TrueBuild different?

This gel feels like a classic builder, hard, durable, and reliable. It’s made for nail techs who want control and a rigid finish with no flex. It’s our strongest builder yet and still hypoallergenic, vegan and cruelty free.
