yes. if itโ€™s builder gel, it happens to me. just take some benadryl, apply hydrocortisone cream, try not to itch, but an ice cube on them or stick in cold water to calm inflammation. itโ€™ll last several days, so just keep it in mind. i used to use the regular builder gel from beetles and this would happen, but now i use the one without HEMA, and itโ€™s been better, but theyโ€™re still itchy for a day or 2

iโ€™ve never reacted to normal gel polish, but it looks similar to what would happen to me with builder gel

Yes, this is builder gel. It doesnโ€™t itch right now, but If it starts itching would you say that I should get them removed?
