Collection: Dual form

The Dual Forms by Cactus are an alternative to classic Nail Forms, allowing you to create the entire structure of the nail to be reconstructed right away.
Thanks to the Dual Forms, you can create any natural salon shape, as well as extreme shapes, thanks to the wide selection offered by our collection.

The Cactus Dual Forms are transparent, with guidelines specifically designed to facilitate the application of the product inside, achieving the desired shape immediately.

They have been designed to be very flexible yet at the same time resistant, a feature that saves time in choosing the size and minimizes the risk of creating steps in the cuticle area.

The concept of Dual Form is particularly appreciated for its versatility: it adapts to most nail shapes, always ensuring a natural and high-quality result. Thanks to its pre-formed structure, Dual Forms allow for precise modeling of gel or acrylgel, eliminating the margin of error and simplifying the work

1. Ease of use: The Dual Form system is designed to be intuitive and quick once the right technique is learned. 

2. Versatility: The collection offers a wide range of shapes and sizes, from the classic almond to the bolder stiletto, allowing for customization of each reconstruction based on individual preferences.

3. Professional results: The Dual Forms guarantee a professional result, with perfectly shaped, durable, and natural-looking nails.

4. Duration and strength: Nails created with the Dual Forms are extremely durable, maintaining their shape and shine for weeks. The quality of the materials used ensures a long lifespan, even for multiple uses.

5. Time-saving: The entire process, from application to polymerization, takes less time compared to traditional methods.

How to use the Dual Form system:

Using the Dual Form system is simple and intuitive. First of all, it is important to properly prepare the natural nail by cleaning and filing it to ensure good adhesion.Subsequently, the most suitable Dual Form shape for the size of the nail is chosen. The gel or acrylgel is applied inside the form, ensuring the product is evenly distributed. Once the form is positioned on the natural nail, polymerization is carried out under the UV/LED lamp. Finally, the form is gently removed, leaving the nail perfectly shaped and ready for any finishing touches.

Advantages over traditional methods:

The Dual Form system offers numerous advantages over traditional nail reconstruction methods. First of all, it reduces the time required for application, making it ideal for those who need quick yet flawless results. Additionally, the risk of error is minimized, as the pre-shaped form ensures a precise and uniform result. 

What type of nail are Dual Forms suitable for?

Every type of nail can find a Dual shape that fits perfectly. It is important to choose the Dual based on the shape of the nail plate we will be working on:

• If the natural nails are flat (with little apex), we will prefer a Dual that has a natural curvature of about 35%, such as the “Stiletto”, “Natural Square” or “Natural Ballerina” shapes.
• If the natural nails have a very pronounced “C” curve, then we will opt for curved duals, with a curvature of 50%, such as the “Curved Square”, “Curved Ballerina”, “Russian Almond”.

What shapes can be created?

With a single type of Dual Form, it is possible (in most cases) to create different shapes during the reconstruction phase.

• Natural Ballerina Dual Form: Ballerina, Almond, Oval, Short Square.
• Stiletto Dual Form: Stiletto, Almond, Oval.
• Natural Square Dual Form: Natural Square of any length, Short Oval, Long Oval with pinching.
• Curved Square Dual Form: Curved Square of any length, Oval, Long Oval with pinching.
• Curved Ballerina Dual Form: Ballerina, Short Almond, Long Almond with pinching, Oval, Short Square.
• Dual Form Russian Almond: Only Russian Almond.

How to understand which size to choose?

To choose the suitable Dual for each finger, you need to position the tip on the nail and ensure that it perfectly matches the growth points on the sides of the nail plate. The Dual must "embrace" the nail, without applying pressure, perfectly covering the entire surface.
