Builder Gel eller Fiber Gel — Vad är skillnaden och vilket ska du välja?

Builder Gel or Fiber Gel — What is the difference and which one should you choose?

Are you unsure about the difference between builder gel and fiber gel? You are not alone! It is one of the most common questions we receive at Yananails, and in this post, we explain everything you need to know.

What is Builder Gel?

Builder gel is a collective term for gels used to build and reinforce nails. There are many different types of builder gels on the market, and they can vary greatly in consistency, strength, and how they are removed.

Yananails builder gel is a hard gel, which means it cannot be soaked off with acetone or similar products, but is removed by filing. This makes it extra strong and long-lasting.

Our builder gel also has a unique property — it is thixotropic. This means that the gel is firm to start with, but the more you work with it, the more it self-levels and flows. Thanks to its thixotropic property, the gel stays in place and does not run into the cuticles, which gives you full control during application. This is not a feature all builder gels have, but something that makes Yananails builder gel especially easy to work with. It makes it ideal for beginners, but it is also a favorite in professional salons thanks to its controlled application.

What is Fiber Gel?

Fiber gel is a type of builder gel that contains glass fibers for extra strength. Yananails fiber gel self-levels, which means it smooths itself out on the nail for a smooth and natural finish without much work. It has a medium viscosity and is perfect for longer nail extensions or if you have nails that are prone to breaking. Our fiber gel is also a hard gel that cannot be soaked off with acetone or similar products, but is removed by filing.

Which type of gel should I choose?

It depends entirely on your needs and your experience level! Here is a simple guide:

Choose Yananails builder gel if you:

  • Are a beginner and want something easy to work with
  • Want full control and for the gel to stay in place without running
  • Work in a salon and want controlled application

Choose Yananails fiber gel if you:

  • Want a gel that self-levels for a smooth finish
  • Have nails that are prone to breaking
  • Want to do longer nail extensions
  • Need extra strength and durability

What do they have in common?

Both Yananails gels are HEMA-free and TPO-free, cure quickly in a UV and LED lamp, and are available in several shades. They are both hard gels that cannot be soaked off with acetone or similar products, but are removed by filing.
