Builder Gel vs Modeling vs Extensions

What Hard Gel Modeling Can Correct

Modeling is used when individual nails need targeted structural work rather than a standard overlay.

Broken Corners Rebuild a missing corner or sidewall and restore a cleaner free edge.
Uneven Nail Shape Balance asymmetry or individual nails that no longer match the rest of the set.
Localized Length Restore a short or damaged area without creating a complete extension set.
Nail Architecture Refine sidewalls, apex, proportions, and the overall silhouette where correction is needed.
