2.0 out of 5 stars won't dry w/o base coat and LED lamp

if you plan to buy this product, you NEED to get a base coat AND the LED lamp because this product alone will NOT dry at all. even with those additional things, it took so long for it to dry 90%Edit from 01/23/26:ok, so’m still a newbie with the builder gel nails and after basically 90% done with the product (so much trial and error), it still doesn’t dry its own, i think it’s meant to be super liuquidy.in order to succeed with this product, you really need to get the basic materials in this order:- nail buffer (manual or electric), nail duster brush, cuticle pushers and nippers, dehydrator/alcohol, nail primer/bonder, base gel, the builder gel (this product i’m reviewing), top coat gel, and the LED lamp. i highly recommend getting a very tiny brush for a cleaner application of the gel.you need every single thing i listed to succeed with THIS particular product.i still don’t like it that much because the color doesn’t match me but it’s too late to return it.
