Overview
Rather than a soak-off polish, IBD Hard Gel is a clear builder gel for overlays and sculpted extensions. It cures under a UV lamp into a strong, crystal-clear layer with lasting shine.
Strength close to acrylic with the clear finish of gel is the reason nail techs use it. Hard gel usually needs filing to remove, so it is not a quick home polish.
Who it's for
Suited to people who already own a UV lamp and know sculpting. Beginners should practise on tips first.
Pros and cons
- Works for overlays and extensions
- UV lamp not included
- Brushes and forms not included
- Removal method not stated
Performance notes
The gel hardens when UV light triggers it to set, so lamp output and layer thickness decide how fully it cures. Thick layers need the full cure time.
