Ocho Nails builder gel is designed to meet the expectations of even the most demanding nail technicians. Its thick, stable formula, resistant to temperature fluctuations, makes this gel perfect for extending the nail plate and building strong, consistent nail architecture. Regardless of the conditions, the gel maintains its shape, ensuring reliability, control, and a professional finish .
Thanks to its thixotropic properties , also known as liquid memory, the builder gel doesn't run onto the cuticles . This facilitates 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 layer—just with a base and top coat. The natural, opaque shades make this builder gel ideal for those who love subtle yet durable nail styling. Moreover, the gel performs exceptionally well with structural and architectural designs .
Please note: For correct adhesion, this building gel requires the use of Ocho Nails Bonding Base for Gel .
Ocho Nails building gel is available in 5 colors:
• WHITE – classic, intense white, ideal for French manicure, decorations and a precise finish;
• PINK – medium raspberry pink, perfect for baby boomer, French styling and everyday use;
• LIGHT PINK – very light, cool pink shade, beautiful for a subtle manicure or as a base for expressive designs;
• BEIGE – warm peachy pink shade, ideal for natural styling and subtly accentuating the nail plate;
• COVER – medium warm pink shade with beige undertone, perfect as a base for an elegant, well-groomed everyday manicure.
Instructions for use – extending nails with building 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 gel base, massage it into the nail plate to fill in any micro-irregularities and cure according to the recommended curing time.
4. Depending on the chosen extension method:
Nail forms: Position the form correctly, ensure a good fit, and apply the builder gel to build up the nail architecture. Cure in the lamp, remove the dispersion layer, file the nail, and apply a second thin smoothing layer. Cure again for at least 60 seconds.
Dual forms: Fill the dual form with builder 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 the desired top coat and cure it in the lamp. For extra conditioning and beautiful cuticles, you can apply nail oil.
