Builder Gel Systems: Product & Retention Workshop 📍Cliffside Park, NJ | 2026 Dates

A joyful, hands-on product workshop designed to help you understand today’s most in-demand gel systems in a way that feels clear, inspiring, and actually useful in real work. Explore Builder Soft - Hard - Jelly - Polygel, and Rubber-based Builders through a beautiful confident approach to structure, apex, retention, and product choice.

A perfect next step after Cuticle Boss Class / also standing strong as a separate product-focused class

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by endless "gel pot", confusing brand promises, or inconsistent results, this workshop is here to make things simpler. You’ll leave with more clarity around what each system does, when to use it, how to create a beautiful apex, and what helps product wear better without turning your work into guesswork!

Level: active enthusiasts, cosmetologists and working nail techs who want beautiful apex, better retention, and less confusion around products
Time: 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Duration: 1 day
Total: 5 hours

Why this workshop is different

Most product classes introduce brands. This workshop helps you understand the logic behind modern gel systems, so you can choose products more clearly, work with more confidence, and stop relying on marketing promises to make technical decisions.

Built as a focused product class, this workshop helps you simplify product choices, understand what really affects retention, and build a more elegant, more reliable approach to structure and apex.
