Gel nail extension features

Benefits of nail extensions

• Durability and resistance: gel and acrygel create a more rigid structure than the natural nail and are designed to withstand everyday impacts and pressure.
• Versatility: different lengths, shapes and colours can be created according to the desired result.
• Repair and reinforcement: nail enhancement products can be used to repair or reinforce damaged or fragile nails when the technique is appropriate.

Types of nail extension products

• Builder Gel: available in different densities, consistencies and colours for extensions, overlays and reinforcement of the natural nail.
• Acrygel: combines characteristics of acrylic and gel in a stable, mouldable consistency.
• Adhesion Base: Base Step One is used as a thin first layer to support adhesion to the natural nail.
• Accessories: including Dual Forms and Nail Forms for different extension techniques.

Gel nail extension procedure

• Nail preparation: file and mattify the nail, push back the cuticles and remove them using suitable manicure tools; remove dust and residue with Cleanser as required by the protocol.
• Base Step One: apply a thin layer across the nail plate and cure for 60 seconds according to the source instructions.
• Gel or Acrygel application: shape the product over a Nail Form or inside a Dual Form while maintaining the required structure, then cure under a compatible UV or LED lamp.
• Finishing: use files and buffers where necessary to refine the final shape and even the surface.
• Colour and decoration: apply the selected colour or nail art.
• Top Coat: apply when required to seal and protect the finished service.

Removing nail extensions

• Choose the bit according to the type of product being removed.
• Professional training in the use of a nail drill is strongly recommended because incorrect use can damage the natural nail, including permanent damage.
