What Makes Ugly Duckling Gel Polish Different
Ugly Duckling was built by nail techs for nail techs. Founder Yvonne Duclos started doing sculptured nails in 1978, and the brand's in house educators bring decades of salon experience to every formula. The line launched with Canadian salons in mind and grew into an international brand because techs kept asking for it.
Ugly Duckling gel polish is highly pigmented, so a little goes a long way. It cures under LED and UV lamps, and the brand recommends a full 60 second cure for each coat in an LED lamp. The square glass bottles are thicker than a standard bottle. They stack neatly in drawers and hold up better if you knock one off your desk.
Ugly Duckling Builder Gel and BIAB
Build A Base is the Ugly Duckling builder gel that most techs start with. Many people call it the Ugly Duckling BIAB because it works like a builder in a bottle. It levels on its own, needs very little filing, and adds strength to short and medium natural nails. You can use it as a base under Ugly Duckling gel polish or wear it alone in clear, nude, milky, or pink shades.
When you need more length, Ugly Duckling sculpting gel and Acrygel let you build extensions and structured sets. Your whole service stays in one system from prep to top coat.
