Clear Builder Gel – Crystal-clear builder gels for professional architecture

This collection includes all transparent builder gels from Studio Amelie – developed and tested by Anela Mucic, World Nail Design Champion 2023 & INJA Juror. In contrast to pigmented cover gels, the focus here is on pure statics, structure, and transparency. Clear builder gels are ideal for sculpted extensions, reconstructions, extreme shapes, or as a neutral base under any color.

What Clear Builder Gels Are Ideal For

  • Sculpted extensions and extreme shapes
  • Clear architecture for glass nails or transparent designs
  • Stable builds that will be polished over later
  • Reconstructions and shape corrections
  • As a technical base under any color or design

Characteristics of this category

  • Crystal-clear transparency – color-stable and non-yellowing
  • High stability – ideal for long enhancements and tunnel retention
  • Self-leveling application – for clean surfaces and less filing
  • Acid-free formulations – gentle on the natural nail

Anela's Pro Tip

"Crystal-clear builder gels are the foundation of competitive enhancements – they reveal every inaccuracy, but also every perfection. I use Clear Builder Gel specifically where maximum statics without color influence are required: for XXL shapes, glass nails, and as a neutral base under vibrant colors like the Neon Color Builder Gels." – Anela Mucic, World Nail Design Champion 2023 & INJA Juror

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Clear Builder Gel and Cover Gel?
Clear Builder Gels are completely transparent and offer maximum statics – ideal for glass nails, encapsulations, and as a neutral base. Cover Gels are pigmented (rosé-nude tones) and conceal the nail bed for natural, well-groomed looks.

Can I also combine Clear Builder Gel with Color Builder Gels?
Yes, very well even. A clear base under a Color Builder Gel increases stability and can enhance the luminosity of neon gels, as the transparent gel acts as a luminous base.
