Mia Secret Professional Nail System Formagel Gel Nail Builder 1 oz - Cover Blush

When I got the product I was kind of disappointed of how small the container was. Once I opened it up and started working with it, I realized how little you actually need. I used a super instructive video by Lissette Cruz for how to use the product and it worked great. It’s a self-leveling gel so after you move it around on the nail, give it a couple of seconds and it smooths itself out. It didn’t take me as long as my acrylic does, and there’s no harsh smells and I hardly had to file anything! The nice thing about this product is that it cures in the uv lamp, so if you make any mistakes you can clean it up and start again, unlike acrylic where it dries so fast. Anyways…buy this product, you won’t regret it! Make sure you get some good gel brushes!

This has become my go-to cover gel. It's a nice consistency, not too stiff, not too runny and the color is beautiful. Very easy to work with for home users like me. Remember that it is a hard gel, so it will be stringy and it can only be removed by filing it off. Hard gels do not soak off. If you're having trouble with making a mess with it, you need to watch some tutorials on using hard gel. There are several on YouTube that are excellent. And if you're interested, the Cover Blush is a perfect dupe for the Young Nails Cover Pink. Highly recommend! Note - I used it in the pictures included. It will be the color you can see on my nail beds.

I absolutely adore Mia's Secret clear builder gels and I love this cover beige color just as much! I wrote an in-depth review of the performance of this product on the main page for their clear builder gel. In a nutshell- it is a thin consistency LED or UV gel, very self-leveling, cures fast and hard, files easily and has no odor. However beware of HEAT SPIKES esp if your layer of gel is too thick! I prevent this by setting my LED lamp to half power for the first layer. Perfect for beginners to using gel- just be sure to layer up thin coats or you'll flood your cuticles and get heat spikes ;) This cover beige does a good job of covering any imperfections on my nail bed. It looks much pink-er in the jar than after it is cured, when it's a more neutral peach tone. Love using this for baby boomer french manicures! Just pair it with a sheer white builder at the tips and blend :)

Disclaimer: I am not a nail professional of any type. I am just someone who enjoys doing my nails. Ok, with that out of the way! The color is beautiful, and just slightly sheer. It builds up a bit, but isn't fully opaque. This is a thick gel, and I find that while it does self-level, it doesn't level fast. I found myself struggling a little to get a smooth application. This gel cures well, has normal stickiness for a hard gel, and it files well.

This was my first time working with builder gel and it was the easiest thing ever. I have been using acrylics forever and I’ve tried polygel but this was amazing. So easy to work with and the color was beautiful. I’ll definitely be ordering more colors for sure. For the ones that complained about the size of the jar.... this is a pretty standard size where builder gel is concerned. You can purchase larger one in most brands but it’ll cost more. In my opinion this was a great price for a pretty awesome builder.

Este Builder Gel para mí es uno de los mejores. Su consistencia espesa permite que lo trabaje con más facilidad.

Great product, especially for the price. Opaque, and a very natural look. Consistency is thicker than other products I’ve used (in.hype, IBD) - found this made it easier to build an apex, with less time and less product. If you like a thin builder gel I’d go with in.hype for a similar price, if you’re looking for a gel that’s a bit more viscous, this is the one.

Not Super impressed. Have to Apply thickly to keep it from breaking. Love the color tho. Easy to work with.
