Its thick, stable, temperature-resistant formula makes it ideal for extending the natural nail plate and building strong, consistent nail architecture. Regardless of the conditions, the gel maintains its shape, ensuring maximum stability, complete control, and reliable professional results .
Thanks to its thixotropic properties , also known as liquid memory, Ocho Nails construction gel doesn't transfer to the cuticle . This allows for extremely precise application and even distribution. The gel effectively camouflages imperfections in the nail plate and corrects its shape , making it suitable for use without a color coat—just a base and top coat are all you need. The natural, opaque shades make this builder gel perfect for those who love subtle yet durable nail styling. Moreover, the gel performs exceptionally well with structural and architectural nail designs .
Please note: This construction gel requires the use of Ocho Nails Bonding Base for Gel for optimal adhesion and maximum durability.

Instructions for use – how to extend nails correctly with gel: 1. Before treatment, disinfect your hands and those of the client and prepare the work area carefully. 2. Prepare the nail plate: File the nail into shape, gently buff with a buffer, remove dust, and degrease with a cleaner or dehydrator. If necessary, an acid-free primer (e.g., Ocho Nails Vitamins) can be used to improve adhesion. 3. Apply a thin layer of bonding base, massage it into the nail plate to fill in any micro-irregularities and cure it in the lamp for the recommended time. 4. Depending on the chosen extension method: Nail paper forms: Place a properly fitting template and ensure a precise fit. Apply a layer of construction gel to create the nail architecture and cure it in the lamp. Remove the dispersion layer, file the form, and apply a second smoothing layer with a fine brush. Cure for at least 60 seconds. Dual forms: Fill the dual form with construction gel, gently place it on the nail plate, and cure for at least 60 seconds. Then remove the form and file the nail into shape. 5. File the nails to the desired final shape and smooth the surface with a polishing block. 6. Apply a top coat and cure it in the lamp. For extra cuticle care, you can apply nail oil.
