Build strength, shape, and structure with the convenience of a brush-on bottle. Gelish HEMA-Free Brush-On Builder Clear is a versatile soak-off builder gel designed for professional overlays, extensions, structural reinforcement, and detailed nail art. Its smooth, self-leveling consistency gives nail professionals control while helping minimize product flooding around the sidewalls, making it easier to create balanced, beautifully structured enhancements.

Packaged in a familiar 0.5 fl. oz. brush-on bottle, it brings builder-gel performance into an efficient format that fits naturally into a professional Gelish service.
