How Rooted Is Used (In Simple Terms) We designed Rooted so that a confident at-home user can absolutely use it, even without salon experience.

The basic process looks like this:
1.⁠ ⁠Prep the nail (clean, lightly buff similar to any manicure)
2.⁠ ⁠⁠Apply primer to your nail (any primer works)
3.⁠ ⁠⁠Apply base coat (preferably Rooted base coat)
4.⁠ ⁠⁠Apply a thin layer of your rooted builder gel
5. Cure under a small LED lamp (about 60-90 seconds)
6. Repeat another layer of builder gel if building strength
7. Finish with a top coat or wear as-is OR layer on another color of choice if you'd like to add more color while using our nude gel builder as the foundation.
That’s it. No extensions, no drilling into the nail, no harsh techniques, lots of flexibility

Rooted builder gels are designed for long, reliable wear. With proper application and care, Our Builder Gel system is formulated for durability and can last 3+ weeks, especially when applied correctly and maintained with infills.

Yes. Rooted products are 100% cruelty-free. We never test on animals, and we work with partners who share our commitment to ethical beauty practices

Rooted formulas are created with care and intention. Our builder gels are TPO-free, HEMA-free, vegan, and cruelty-free, making them a gentler option compared to many traditional gel systems. However, as with all beauty products, we recommend a patch test if you have sensitive skin or known allergies. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a professional.
