Our verdict

A clear builder gel for adding strength, an apex and extra length within the CND Shellac system. It cures under the CND LED Lamp, so it suits salons and home kits already set up that way.

Overview

Building an apex or repairing a broken nail is the job of this CND clear gel, brushed straight from the bottle onto the natural nail, a tip or a sculpting form. The thick, self-smoothing gel levels out before it is cured under an LED lamp.

A thick gel that self levels gives control for shaping and cuts down on filing, which matters for both professionals and careful home users. It is built around the CND Shellac system and its LED lamp, so curing with other lamps is not covered by the listing.

Who it's for

Strengthening thin nails, adding length on tips or forms, and fixing breaks are the jobs it covers. People who only want color, or who do not own a curing lamp, will not get use from it.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Self-smoothing formula reduces filing
  • Thick gel holds its shape for apex work
  • Brush in bottle speeds application
  • Works over tips, forms or natural nails
Cons
  • Curing with non CND lamps not covered
  • Listing shows a conflicting color entry
  • Cure time not listed

Performance notes

Viscosity governs the result: a thicker gel stays where it is placed, so an apex can be built without running into the cuticle. The self-smoothing formula levels the surface before curing, which is what reduces filing afterward. Cure quality depends on the LED lamp the system is designed for.
