One bottle covers seven jobs: base coat, builder gel, extension gel for forms or tips, strengthening layer, tip adhesive, overlay and a patch for small breaks. This collection gathers the clear, white, pink and nude tones into a starter trio, a natural four and a studio six, so a single box covers a natural overlay, a pink French, and a soft nude look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bottle holds 15 ml with a brush in the cap. The photos show every shade on a fingertip and on a coffin nail shape, so you can see how sheer or tinted each one cures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHobbyists: a builder gel overlay gives natural nails a stronger, smoother surface without learning acrylic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNail artists: a tinted builder gel acts as base, apex and color in one step, which saves chair time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtension fans: the same gel sticks tips on and builds the apex on a form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is in each set\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarter Trio: three 15 ml bottles in clear, pink and nude.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural Four: four 15 ml bottles in natural pink, natural nude, coral pink and nude pink.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudio Six: six 15 ml bottles in clear, white, pink, nude, natural pink and natural nude.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA top coat, lamp, forms or tips are not included.

If you feel a warm sensation during curing, use a lower wattage lamp or cure in short intervals and let the nails cool between steps. Colors can look different on screen than in the bottle.
