When life gives you lemons, make a… manicure! Use Builder Color Gel Yellow and discover the recipe for a simple yet eye-catching styling.

This product allows you to create colourful gel designs in a much shorter time. The self-levelling formula speeds up the pace of work — Builder Color Gel does not require filing. The medium-thick consistency minimises the risk of flooding the cuticles. The gel is designed for short salon extensions and strengthening the natural nail plate. What makes it stand out is the low polymerisation temperature, which reduces the burning sensation in the lamp.

Application tips

Disinfect hands (yours and your client’s), put on gloves and assess the condition of the hands and nails, checking for any contraindications.
Push back the cuticles (using a pusher or wooden stick) and remove them with an e-file bit.
Gently and evenly matt the nail plate using a 100/180 grit buffer and remove dust with a soft brush.
Degrease the nail plate with Classic Cleaner.
Apply a suitable primer (in most cases Acid Free Primer; for more demanding nails use Acid Primer). Apply a minimal amount only to the natural nail plate.
Apply a thin layer of base and cure for 30 seconds in a Multi LED lamp.
Place the nail form.
Apply a thin layer of base (e.g. Perfect Base or Protein Base) and cure for 30 seconds.
Apply the first layer of gel on the nail and form to create the frame and cure.
Apply a second, thicker layer of builder gel, creating the correct nail structure.
If needed, turn the hand over to shape the upper arch more comfortably.
Cure in the lamp for 30–60 seconds.
Remove the form by gently releasing it from underneath.
Remove the sticky layer using Wipe Off Cleaner.
Shape the nail with a 100/180 grit file and smooth the surface with a buffer.
Clean the nails with Wipe Off Cleaner.
Apply gel polish if desired and cure each layer for 30 seconds.
Apply a top coat (e.g. Wet Look, Tip Top, Super Matte) and cure for 30 seconds.
Wait one minute for the product to cool down.
If the top coat has a sticky layer, remove it with Shea Super Shine Cleaner.
If the top coat leaves no dispersion layer, wait about a minute before applying care products.
For extra shine, finish by polishing the nails with a dry cotton pad until you hear a characteristic squeaking sound.
