A premium-quality, versatile, low-heat, three-phase sculpting gel with thixotropic properties. DNKa’ Builder Gel features a medium-thick consistency and spreads easily and evenly. As a hard gel, it creates a durable coating and allows for the construction of any nail length; it holds the C-curve and tunnel shape perfectly, does not deform during wear, and remains stable despite temperature fluctuations. DNKa’ Builder Gel supports "express" extension techniques that require no surface filing. It is suitable for extensions using either lower or upper forms, as well as for fills, nail plate sculpting, and strengthening natural nails of any length.
Key advantages:
Consistency: Medium-thick
Pigmentation: 80% to 99%, depending on layer thickness.
Safety: Low-heat gel with high adhesion
Ease of use: Thixotropic effect; does not run or spread
Properties: Hard, durable, and versatile
Uses: Sculpting, extensions, strengthening, and repair
APPLICATION METHOD for Builder Gel (strengthening technique):
1. Perform standard mechanical preparation of the nail plate. Clean the nail using "3-in-1 Nail Prep & Cleanser."
2. Using a brush that has been dampened and then wiped against the bottle rim, apply one thin, even layer of Dehydrator to the natural nail and allow it to air-dry for 30–60 seconds.
3. Using a brush that has been dampened and then wiped against the bottle rim, apply one thin, even layer of Ultrabond to the natural nail and allow it to air-dry for 30–60 seconds. Avoid contact with the skin and the nail sidewalls to prevent the polymer material from spreading or lifting.
4. Apply your chosen clear base coat (Multi Base or Fiber Base recommended) and cure.
5. Apply a leveling layer of the chosen gel to create a perfect surface on the nail plate (you may use a sealing technique or file away the natural free edge later), then cure in a 48W/36W lamp for 120–240 seconds.
6. If necessary, file to shape and apply your chosen top coat. Cure in a 48W/36W lamp for 120 seconds. Allow to cool for 2 minutes.
7. Apply care products according to the client's preference.
For sculpting:
1. Perform standard mechanical preparation of the nail plate. Clean the nail using a 3-in-1 Nail Prep & Cleanser.
2. Apply Dehydrator. Apply Ultrabond for extra adhesion.
3. Apply your chosen clear base coat (Multi Base or Fiber Base recommended) and cure.
4. Select the desired form (lower or upper forms).
5. Sculpt the nail extension using the chosen shade of Builder Gel.
6. Cure in a 48W LED/UV lamp for 120–240 seconds.
7. Remove the form and sculpt the nail architecture (if necessary, depending on the chosen sculpting technique).
8. Cure in a 48W/36W LED/UV lamp for 2–4 minutes.
9. Remove the residual sticky layer using DNKa’ Nail Prep & Cleanser. If necessary, buff with a file and apply your chosen top coat.
