Fiberglass Nail Repair Gel - The Ultimate Solution for Strong and Beautiful Nails

The world of nail reconstruction and repair has seen an incredible evolution in recent years, and among the most innovative and appreciated products by industry experts is the Fiberglass Nail Repair Gel. This product stands out for its unique composition that combines the transparency of a high-quality gel with the strength of fiberglass. Thanks to these features, the Fiberglass Gel has become an indispensable ally for those who wish to have strong, durable, and impeccably looking nails.

Composition and Consistency

The Fiberglass Nail Repair Gel is a product characterized by a dense consistency, allowing for precise and controlled application. The fiberglass strands are visible to the naked eye, confirming the high quality of the product.This density is a significant advantage during application, as it prevents the gel from running and makes it easier to create a stable and uniform structure. Furthermore, this formulation is particularly suitable for targeted repairs or for nail extensions as the first step on the form.

Despite its density, the Fiberglass Gel is easy to work with, ensuring good adhesion and stability. An important aspect to consider is that it is not suitable for creating the apex of the nail, as the presence of fibers could compromise the final aesthetic. However, this small inconvenience can be easily resolved by applying a base or a cover gel from the CACTUS line to complete the work.

Color and Transparency

One of the strengths of the Fiberglass Gel is its transparent color.This not only makes it ideal for any type of application, but also ensures that the nails do not yellow over time. The transparency of the gel allows for a flawless aesthetic result, perfect for those seeking a natural look or for those who wish to apply colored polishes later.

Quantity and Packaging

The product is available in two convenient sizes of 15g and 50g, an ideal amount for professionals who need a durable and reliable product. The 50g packaging allows for numerous applications, ensuring excellent value for money.

Curing Time

Another relevant aspect of the Fiberglass Gel is its curing time. Using a 48W LED lamp, the required time varies between 60 and 90 seconds, while with a traditional UV lamp it takes about 3 minutes.This versatility allows for the adaptation of the polymerization process to the specific needs of the professional, optimizing work times.

Removal and Duration

The removal of the Fiberglass Gel is simple and safe. It can be performed with a drill using a red or blue grit bit, or with a traditional file. The gel files easily, allowing for its removal without damaging the natural nail plate.

In terms of durability, the Fiberglass Gel offers a strength similar to that of acrylic, making it ideal for working on weak, damaged, or bitten nails. Its robust structure ensures a perfect hold without lifting or cracking, eliminating the risk of breakage in stress point areas. This makes it perfect for reconstruction, extension, or small repairs.

Application Method

The application method of the Fiberglass Nail Repair Gel requires some precautions to achieve the best results:

1. Removal of the old product: Before starting, it is essential to completely remove the previous product, ensuring that the surface of the nail is clean and free of residues.

2. Nail preparation: Carefully buff the entire surface of the nail plate using a 180 grit file or buffer. Avoid leaving shiny areas, as they may compromise the adhesion of the gel.

3. Cleaning and degreasing: Clean and degrease the nail with NAIL PREP, waiting 30 seconds for the complete evaporation of the product.

4. Application of the Bonder: Apply a thin layer of SCOTCH BONDER and let it dry completely for one minute.

5. Application of the base: Apply a thin layer of STEP ONE base, massaging the nail to ensure complete coverage of the surface. This step is crucial to ensure the adhesion of the gel.

6. Application of Fiberglass Gel: Using a CACTUS brush, apply a thin layer of Fiberglass Gel and proceed to form the structure of the nail or make the necessary repair.

7. Filing and finishing: After curing the gel, file the surface to achieve the desired shape. Clean the residual dust and degrease again.

8. Final gel application: Complete the application with a base or cover gel, creating the apex or tip of the nail. Seal everything with CACTUS GEL POLISH and finish with TOP NO WIPE.

Useful Tips

During the application of the Fiberglass Gel, it is important to remember that if the natural nails are covered with this gel, it is advisable not to leave the tip too thin. It is better to file slightly in front of the free edge, shortening the length a bit to increase the thickness, which should be about 1 mm at the tip. This precaution helps to prevent any breakage or damage, ensuring a longer durability of the work done.
