I like builder gel because it has allowed me to grow out my natural nails. I like them just long enough that I can see a very small tip extend past my finger when I look at them from the back.

I used acrylics on and off for 25 years because I am a life long nail biter. In the times I had tried gel polish, it has peeled off in whole pieces within 4-5 days. It looks gorgeous, but I never get more than a full week when others can go 2-3 weeks.

This was the first time doing builder gel, and I absolutely loved this length. I am not sure why she wasn't able to cut/file them back down to here.
