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

Pros
  • Works for overlays and extensions
Cons
  • 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.
