Builder Gel In A Bottle Shimmer

Builder Gel In A Bottle Shimmer is a liquid builder gel (builder gel in a bottle) with a rubber-type viscosity that works as both base and builder. It is designed for strengthening natural nails and for modelling and extension on forms or tips, with a light, natural feel on the nail. Intended for professional use.

KEY PROPERTIES
• Durability: 28+ days
• Viscosity: gel (rubber-type)

• Modelling without filing: yes
• Self-levelling: medium
• Hardness after curing: strong
• Curing: 90 s in UV / LED lamp (48 W and more)
• Suitable for: natural nails, nail forms and tips
• Tacky (inhibition) layer: yes
• Colour: transparent / colour range

HOW TO APPLY
• Assess the condition of the nails first and choose the procedure accordingly.
• Disinfect hands and nails (Pro Sanitiser). Push back and trim excess cuticle (or use an e-file with suitable bits), then buff the nail plate with a very fine file or, preferably, a soft buffer.
• Cleanse and degrease the whole nail plate, including the side walls, with Hybrid Cleaner.
• Base: apply a thin layer of Builder Gel In A Bottle Shimmer and cure for 30 s in a UV / LED lamp (48 W+).
• Build: place a bead of gel on the cured base and spread it lightly, keeping more product in the centre along the whole length and less at the sides; refine around the cuticle with a detailer brush. Turn the finger upside down for a moment so the self-levelling gel forms the shape, then cure immediately — 90 s in a UV / LED lamp (48 W+) or 2–4 min in a UV lamp. With a little practice no filing is needed.
• Finish: apply colour gel, gel polish or decoration, or keep the natural look. The gel itself has a medium gloss; a top coat (gloss or matte) is recommended for scratch protection. If filing is needed, wipe off the tacky layer and buff the whole nail before applying top. If you do not use a no-wipe top, wipe off the tacky layer at the end.
• Massage cuticle oil into the cuticles; finish with hand cream if desired.

REMOVAL
The gel is not fully soak-off and needs to be filed off. Wrapping the nails in remover foils with Remover for at least 20 minutes softens the gel and makes filing easier and gentler. On natural nails without Bonder, removal without filing may be possible once the top layer is filed through — this depends on the materials used and layer thickness.
