Self-levels enough to actually build an apex
The viscosity sits in a nice medium spot. It moves enough to level on its own if I let it settle, but it is not so runny that it floods my cuticle line. I can place a bead and build a real apex without the gel running to one side while I turn the hand. Clear cures crystal clear with no cloudiness. My overlay clients are getting three solid weeks before a fill and I have not had a crack yet on my longer wearers.

My nails peel if I look at them wrong, so I use this as a thin overlay for structure rather than length. It cured hard with no tacky weak spots and my nails stopped catching and tearing at work. It soaked off cleanly in foils at the end, no aggressive filing needed, which told me it is not doing anything scary to my natural nail. HEMA-free was the selling point and I have had no irritation at all.

Gel-savvy home user · Denver, COBeautiful clarity, thicker than I expected
The finish is genuinely clear and my structure sets hold up well past three weeks. My only honest note is that it runs a touch thicker than the builder I came from, so if you are used to a soft gel you will want to warm your bead and take your time placing it. Once you adjust it is lovely to work with and the soak-off is easy. My newer techs needed a session to get comfortable with the consistency.
