Builder gel is a breakthrough nail extension innovation
The flexible builder gel is extremely strong and offers a natural appearance. Of all alternatives, builder gel has most consistently proven to offer superior quality and longevity. With proper care builder gel can last 30 days to over 30 days. Good builder gel is dermatologically safe. The builder gel creates a protective seal over the nail. It protects the nail from breaks and damage during regular activity. Builder gel is very comfortable to wear. It gently bends with the natural movement of the nail. A quality builder gel helps to prevent a condition known as nail lifting. With regular use builder gel does not cause damage to the nail. The most recent builder gel products have been made to comply with FDA and EU REACH guidelines.
Preparing Natural Nails
The builder gel extensions are going to last longer than average if you take the time to prepare them. When it comes to trimming and filing the shape of your natural nails, you can choose the shape and then push the cuticle back using a cuticle pusher. The cuticle should be buffed and a fine grit nail file should be used to take the shine from the nails. The nail should be cleansed from the oil and from as well as any moisture, using a disinfected lint-free nail wipe with 91% isopropyl alcohol. This is the best way to increase the chances of a good bond on the nail and to stop any of the nails from popping off early. Be sure that your tools are sanitized to reduce the risk of infection as is recommended by the nail profession.
Applying Builder Gel Step by Step
To begin, apply a thin layer of bonding base coat, then cure it using a UV or LED lamp for 60 to 90 seconds, as per the instructions for the product you are using. If you are lengthening nails, place a paper form that is secure under the free edge to keep it tight with no gaps. Using a clean brush, take a small amount of builder gel, starting from the cuticle area, and drag it gently downwards toward the free edge. Build a slight apex in the center for added strength and achieve the natural curve. For extensions, add gel to the paper form to achieve the length and shape you want. Keep the layer even. Try to avoid running, or the formation of bubbles, by not applying too much gel at once. Fully cure each layer before applying the next to ensure hardness and avoid heat spikes.
Shaping and Finishing the Extended Nails
Once the builder gel has fully cured, you can remove the paper form, if one was used. File and shape the extensions to refine the length and desired shape, smooth out the sides, and ensure the free edge is symmetrical. Buff the tops lightly to even out all the bumps. Wipe the dust from the nails with some alcohol and apply some high-quality topcoat to seal the nails, add shine, and protect from scratches and stains. Cure the topcoat fully. You can add some colored gel, nail art, decorations, or anything if desired at this point. Proper adhering and shaping nails forms a polished and clean finish that eliminates the risk of injury from catching and breaking edges. A clean finish makes daily maintenance easier and extends the life of the a nail manicure.
Care and Maintenance for Long Lasting Results
To maintain builder gel extensions’ shine, it is also important to apply cuticle oil to the nails and surrounding skin daily. Do not use the nails as tools to break open boxes, scrape the tops of things, or anything like that as it can cause cracking or lifting. Exposing the nails to gardening or cleaning can also quickly damage the nails, so wear gloves for those activities. If there are any small lifts, do NOT pick or peel as it can damage the natural nails. Instead, go to a technician for a repair. To keep a clean looking set, nails should typically be filled every two to three weeks as the natural nails grow. With proper care, builder gel extensions can safely be kept for up to four weeks or more, but after that, a full removal may be necessary.
