Après Soft Gel Builder in a Bottle 15ml
Two steps down to one — Après Soft Gel Builder is the 2-in-1 soak-off formula that functions as both base coat and builder gel in a single bottle. Self-levelling with a medium-to-thick viscosity, it builds structure, reinforces natural nails, and extends the life of Gel-X® sets without the bulk. Non-yellowing, non-staining, and built to last up to three weeks with proper prep — worn alone for a natural overlay or as the base for gel colour.
- True 2-in-1 formula — functions as both base coat and builder gel in one step
- Self-levelling, medium-to-thick viscosity — builds smooth, even structure with minimal effort
- Three uses in one bottle — natural nail overlay, Gel-X® fill, or base for gel colour
- Non-yellowing and non-staining — maintains clarity and colour vibrancy over time
- Cure time — 30 seconds LED per layer, flash cure for thicker applications to reduce heat spike
- Soak-off removal — easy removal without compromising natural nail integrity
- By Après Nail — Made in USA
Pro Tip: Use Soft Gel Builder for fills rather than full removal — maintains the integrity of both natural nails and Gel-X® Tips for healthier, longer-lasting wear.

Why is there pockets of bubbles after curing?
If air bubbles occurs after curing your gel, most of the time it would mean that the gel layer that's been applied is too thick. For opaque colours, or colours that has fuller coverage, always apply thin layers and cure each layer before piling on the next. This is to ensure that the light hits the entire layer and dries them before the next layer.
Is it necessary to use Base Coat/ Top Coat?
Gel base coat are designed to bond tightly with your nail plate and then act as an anchor to adhere your coloured gel polish.
Gel top coat (gloss or matte) is the final layer to protect and seal the colour. If you are using a non-wipe top, it will be a non-tacky, smooth glossy hard gel finish.
If you are using a wipe formula , you will need to use alcohol wipe to clean off the tackiness of the top coat.
Why is the base coat so sticky/ tacky?
All of your gel coats will feel tacky after curing. It’s the tackiness which allows each subsequent coat to stick.
