Nail Reconstruction Gel Features
Nail reconstruction gels are versatile and easy to work with. Self-leveling and durable, they guarantee professional results that last over time.
Advantages of Gel Nail Reconstruction
- Strength: long-lasting, up to 4 weeks.
- Flexibility: prevention of breaks and chips.
- Adhesion: perfect adherence to the natural nail, without lifting.
- Aesthetics: the possibility to create nails of any shape and length, with a smooth and shiny finish.
Types of gel for reconstruction
- Self-leveling gel: innovative product that does not require final filing.
- Thixotropic gel: gel with a very dense consistency that softens and becomes easily moldable during application on the nail, thanks to the heat of the hand. Not self-leveling.
How to choose the right gel
- Nail type: assess the condition of the nails (brittle, damaged, or normal).
- Type of reconstruction: choose based on the treatment you want to perform and the time available.
- Desired finish: opt for classic or glitter gels, based on the result you want to achieve.
How to apply reconstruction gel
- Preparation: clean the nails, remove the cuticles, and buff the surface.
- Application of Primer: apply the preparers, if necessary, to cleanse the nail and improve product adhesion.
- Building: apply the gel on the Nail Form or Dual Form, shaping the desired form, and cure.
- Finishing: complete with color or Top Coat to seal and add shine, then cure.
Maintenance of the reconstruction
- Touch-ups: perform refills every 2-3 weeks.
- Hydration: keep nails and cuticles nourished with specific oils.
- Protection: wear gloves when handling aggressive chemical products.
Differences between gel and reconstruction
- Gel: material used to shape and extend the nails.
- Reconstruction: a procedure that uses gel to create new nails or repair damaged ones.
Products available in the gel collection
Our collection includes:
- Sorbet Gel: perfect for reconstruction and covering the natural nail, it is a medium consistency, self-leveling builder gel. Ideal for the filing-free technique on medium or long length nails, it is easy to work with and does not run into the cuticle area. It does not necessarily require a Top Coat: once cured and the dispersion layer is removed, it maintains an impeccable shine.
- Mousse Gel: enriched with glass fibers, it is ideal for reconstruction and covering the natural nail. This medium-dense, self-leveling builder gel is perfect for the filing-free technique on medium or long length nails.Thanks to its consistency, it does not run during application. It is a builder/cover/three-phase gel that requires the application of a base and a Top Coat to complete the treatment.
- Gel Soufflé: with a buttery consistency and high density, this gel is ideal for salon reconstruction and for the French wall technique. Perfect for those who prefer a product that remains stable until modeling with the brush, it guarantees maximum precision and ease of use.
- Gel FiberGlass: this gel with a dense consistency and visible fibers is designed to ensure strength and stability. Perfect for small repairs and for creating the skeleton of nail reconstruction, it does not run during processing. However, it is not suitable for arching, as the fibers may emerge on the surface. For a flawless result, it is recommended to complete it with a base or a Gel Cover from the Cactus line.
- Cold Gel: it is a medium consistency, self-leveling cold builder gel that does not generate heat during polymerization. Ideal for reconstructive work, coverage on natural nails, gel refills, and soft baby boomer structures. It is the answer for those looking for a versatile and easy-to-apply gel.

Its innovative formula ensures even coverage, excellent hold, and maximum comfort, without developing heat during polymerization.
