Build Me Up Bottled – Clear — Hard Builder Gel
Build Me Up Bottled Clear is the clear shade in Magpie's Build Me Up hard builder gel collection — the same structured, baseless formula as Blush, Cloud, Naked and Buff, in a completely clear finish. It's ideal for natural-looking overlays, encapsulation work, or as a base for nail art where colour underneath needs to show through.
Like the rest of the range, it's baseless — no separate base coat is required — and is designed to be applied thicker, with structure, rather than as a thin, straightforward soak-off gel.
Why Professionals Choose It
- Baseless — no need for a separate base coat
- HEMA-free
- One of 5 shades in the collection (Clear, Cloud, Blush, Naked, Buff)
- Chip and lift resistant, with 3 weeks+ wear
- 100% gel, self-levelling
- Extendable using forms or tips
Who It's Suitable For
- Technicians doing encapsulation, French, or nail art work where a clear structural layer is needed
- Salons wanting a completely natural, colourless builder gel option
- Professionals already using the Build Me Up range in other shades
How to Use
Applied thicker than Build It, with structure. Cure for 60 seconds under a Magpie Gel Colour Lamp. Magpie recommend infilling this product to maintain the set.
Top Tips
- Being clear, it's a good choice for encapsulating nail art, dried flowers, foils or other design elements under a strong, wearable layer.
- Pair with a coloured Build Me Up shade on the same client for two-tone or ombré structural work.
