An incredibly delicate collection of durable, medium-viscosity colored builder gels featuring a rich pearlescent effect. This hard gel is part of a three-phase system; it creates a strong coating, allows for precise architectural shaping, holds the nail arch perfectly, and resists deformation during wear. It is easy to apply, self-levels quickly, does not run, and maintains its shape well during application.
It is durable after curing, easy to file, and blends beautifully with other shades. Suitable for extensions using either lower or upper forms, fills, nail plate sculpting, and strengthening natural nails of any length.
The rich pearlescent effect allows for the creation of incredible, deep artistic effects.
Key advantages:
• Consistency: medium viscosity
• Pigmentation: 30%–95% depending on layer thickness
• Quality: low-heat gel with high adhesion
• Ease of use: thixotropic properties, compatible with other products
• Properties: hard, durable, and versatile
• Purpose: extensions, strengthening
*characterized by increased viscosity of the residual (inhibition) layer
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.
