Best sculpting gel on the market?

[Amberglowbeauty]

Hi,

Im looking to buy some sculpting gel or builder gel ahead of my UV Gel extension course this month.
Also is it better to file off or soak off?

Can someone advise on the best one to buy. Id much prefer to buy a decent one than waste my money on a cheaper brand that might not be so good.

Many thanks
Penny

I'm searching for the same as you at the moment but have come across a few brands along the way. I decided a soak off gel would be better as its not so messy but that's up to you I have come across IZ gel which is a one step soak off gel and have heard positive reviews on how kind it is to nails and also strong and fast soak off. I'm currently looking at Akzentz too. CND brisa, NSI secrets and IBD (personally I don't rate it) are some you could look at

Thanks Anna. I saw earlier when I was searching about Calgel & IZ gel so registered on their website.
Think I'm gonna have to purchase a brand new lamp too as I've read about matching lamps with the right systems!

From what I saw on the Isabelle Hammond website earlier there was on a one finger cure lamp for the IZ gel which I thought was odd. I will just stick with my LED Gellux lamp as that's the polish I use and it says the gel is compatabke with other brands. You mentioned you were looking for UV gel. Most gels now are compatabke with LED lamps. I would recommend LED as its much quicker and most products are moving across to LED anyway

I have an ASP signature LED lamp which I purchased when I did a gel polish course. But now that I'm increasing my skills and courses, I think it's time to invest in a better one.

A one finger cure seems way too much hassle to me!

I will continue my search for the right products. Thanks for all your input!

Hi,

Cuccio T3 LED gel is amazing for sculpting, I feel like it's the closest gel to acrylic imo for sculpting.
It's very thick so it doesn't move unless you move it and can be sculpted into any shape on the form.

I don't always sculpt, I use tips mainly but it's perfect for both imo
I don't think I'll go back to another gel now. If you speak to Cuccio they are so helpful and they always have start up kits available and offers!

That's fab to know. Thank you I will check it out. Cuccio had a good lamp I seen whilst doing a nail art course.
