What is FABLED LED Builder Gel Polish and what are the benefits?
Our LED Builder Gel Polish is a type of gel polish that is thicker in consistency and similar to BIAB (Builder In A Bottle), allowing it to build and sculpt the nail for added strength and durability. The main benefits of our Builder Polish include enhancing the overall appearance of the nails with a smooth and curved finish, creating a strong colored foundation for ultra-long wear, and promoting nail growth by providing additional support.
The Product and How To Use
What is the difference between UV/LED Polish and regular Nail Polish?
UV/LED polish, also known as Gel Polish, requires curing under a UV or LED lamp to harden and dry, resulting in a longer lasting and more durable finish compared to regular nail polish. Regular nail polish air-dries and doesn't require a lamp for curing; however, it is more prone to chipping or peeling compared to gel polish.
What does the FABLED® 3-in-1 LED Builder Polish stand for and what are the benefits?
Our FABLED® 3-in-1 LED Builder Polish combines the benefits of a base coat, builder gel, and color in a single bottle. Our 3-in-1 system will save you time, effort, and cost, resulting in a quick and efficient at-home gel manicure.
If FABLED 3-in-1 GEMGEL™ LED Builder Polish includes a base coat, why do we offer 2 primers?
We designed a Peel Off Primer for easy removal similar to peeling off a sticker, ideal for frequent color changes. Please note that this will influence the gel manicure's extra-long wearing time. Additionally, our Superbond Primer enhances adhesion and extends wear time, particularly when lifestyle factors and nail condition affect longevity.
How long can users expect our LED Builder Gel Polish manicure to last, and how easy is it to remove?
Our LED Builder Gel Polish offers a chip-free, long-lasting wear of 14+ days, and it's easily removed by soaking off in just 5-10 minutes. Please note that the estimated wear time of our Gel Polish may vary depending on the quality and condition of the natural nails, as well as individual lifestyle factors such as exposure to water, chemicals, and physical activities.
What are the essentials for applying FABLED® LED Builder Gel Polish?
To enjoy a FABLED® manicure you need the FABLED® Cleanser, FABLED® 3-in-1 GEMGEL™ LED Builder Polish, FABLED® Top Coat and FABLED® RED LED Nail Lamp.
What are the essentials for removing FABLED® LED Builder Gel Polish?
To remove your FABLED® LED Builder Polish you need FABLED® Remover and FABLED Soak Off Foils. If you have opted for the Peel Off Primer, you don’t need the FABLED® Remover and Foils.
How is FABLED®RED LED Light Curing Lamp different to regular Gel Polish lamps?
We created a red LED Light Gel Polish Curing Lamp to harness the potential benefits of RED LED light, commonly used in skincare treatments for promoting collagen production and reducing inflammation, whilst curing. Additionally, RED LED light therapy may promote nail health by stimulating blood flow and collagen production, potentially aiding in nail growth and strength.
Please note, it's important to use LED devices according to manufacturer instructions and avoid prolonged exposure to prevent any potential adverse effects.
Can I use a lamp from another brand to cure FABLED® GEMGEL™ LED Builder Polish?
At FABLED®, we advise using a LED lamp with a minimum of 15watt and 365+405nm. Our lamp 54 watt with 365+405nm and 660nm and curing times may need adjustment when using a lamp from a different brand. Please be aware that we cannot assure the same results when using lamps from other brands.
Please note, it's important to use LED devices according to manufacturer instructions and avoid prolonged exposure to prevent any potential adverse effects.
My Builder Gel polish isn't lasting. Any suggestions on what to do?
If our Gel Polish isn't lasting the full 14 days for you, it's possible a product or step was skipped during application. The wear time of the gel polish may also be affected by your lifestyle and the condition of your nails. Please consider using our Superbond primer to extend the wear time by creating an extra sticky adhesive foundational layer.
My Builder Gel Polish isn't drying. What could I be doing wrong?
Builder Gel Polish doesn't air dry; it requires curing with a lamp. Additionally, make sure each LED Builder layer is applied evenly and note that the LED Builder layers remain tacky after curing to allow better adhesion between them. FABLED® only dries after applying the Top Coat. For optimal results, use FABLED® LED Builder Polish under FABLED® RED LED Nail Lamp or a LED lamp with 54 watt with 365+405nm and 660nm.
My topcoat is still tacky/sticky. Any suggestions on what to do?
If your Top Coat is still sticky after curing, don’t worry, this is normal. Wipe the surface with a lint-free wipe soaked in FABLED® Cleanser to remove the tacky layer. If the stickiness persists, the topcoat may not have been cured properly, so try curing it again under the LED lamp for the recommended time.
My FABLED® GEMGEL™ Builder Polish has hardened in the bottle. How could this happen?
Please avoid applying our Builder Gel Polish in direct sunlight as this may cause premature hardening. Also, avoid placing your FABLED® LED Builder Polish bottles too close to the LED lamp during use. To ensure optimal longevity, we recommend storing them in a dark place.
My FABLED® Builder Gel Polish manicure appears dull. What could have caused this?
This could be due to several factors. First, make sure to properly cure each layer under the UV or LED lamp for the recommended time to achieve maximum shine. After fully curing the Top Coat, wait for 2 minutes before wiping off the sticky layer with FABLED® Cleanser, using our specific cleaner is essential for the best result. If Gel Polish becomes dull over time, external factors like aggressive cleaning products or alcohol-containing substances may be the cause. In this scenario, lightly roughen the dulled Top Coat and apply a new layer to restore the shine of your nails.
If the dullness persists, it could be a sign of improper application or curing, so consider consulting our instructions.

Can (LED Builder) Gel Polish damage my nails?
Gel Polish generally doesn't damage nails when applied and removed correctly. However, filing off the Gel Polish in a careless manner can potentially lead to nail damage. It's important to follow proper application and removal techniques to maintain nail health and minimize any risk of damage.
What does HEMA free mean?
HEMA free means that a product does not contain the ingredient HEMA (2 Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate). HEMA is a common ingredient widely used in the production of ink, plastic, coatings, dental materials polish, and many nail products, particularly gel nail products. It can cause severe allergic reactions in some individuals. Products labeled as HEMA free are formulated without this ingredient, making them suitable for people with sensitivities or allergies to HEMA.
What does DI-HEMA free mean?
DI-HEMA Free nail Gel Polish means that the product does not contain DI-HEMA (Di-HEMA Trimethylhexyl Dicarbamate), which is a common ingredient widely used in in gel nail products. While DI-HEMA is often considered to be less allergenic compared to HEMA, sensitivity can vary from person to person, and DI-HEMA can potentially cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
I am pregnant, can I use FABLED® GEMGEL™ Builder Gel Polish?
While our products are safe for your unborn child, we advise against using them during pregnancy due to potential changes in nail condition. Hormone fluctuations can affect nail oiliness or dryness, impacting adhesion. Also, we recommend that customers consult their doctor before using our products for any health-related concerns.

Can gel polish lamps harm my health?
European and US authorities have deemed the use of lamps for curing Gel Polish safe. Gel Polish lamps emit only UV-A radiation, which scientific research indicates poses minimal risk during normal use, with exposure levels well below the maximum for UV-A light.
But what about reports in the news suggesting that using a lamp for gel polish may increase the risk of skin cancer. Is this accurate?
Recent laboratory research has investigated the effects of UV light exposure from gel polish curing lamps. The study involved subjecting skin samples to 2 sessions of 20 minutes of UV light in one day, or 3 sessions of 20 minutes over 3 days. Significant DNA damage was observed in the skin samples following this prolonged exposure to UV-A radiation, which could potentially increase the risk of skin cancer. However, it's important to note that the exposure levels in this study were 9,000% to 18,000% higher than those typically experienced with the proper use of lamps. Under normal use, the skin is exposed to UV-A radiation for only 3 to 4 minutes every 14 days, and there is currently no evidence suggesting that this level of exposure is harmful.
