Setup and Preparation
Preparing Your Natural Nails
- File and clean the nail surface thoroughly.
- Apply a thin layer of foundation gel (base coat) and cure for 60 seconds under a UV/LED lamp.
- Recommendation: For optimal adhesion and to prevent cracking or peeling, consider applying a nail dehydrator and nail bond before the foundation gel.

Preparing the Builder Gel
If the builder gel appears too thick, especially in cooler environments, it can be warmed to improve consistency. Soak the sealed jar of builder gel in warm water (60-70°C / 140-158°F) for 5-8 minutes. This will make the gel more fluid and easier to work with.

Operating Instructions (Application)
Nail Extension with Nail Forms
- Place a nail form securely under your natural nail, ensuring it aligns properly to create the desired shape and length.
- Using the builder nail brush, pick up a small amount of builder gel and apply it onto the nail form, extending it to your desired length. Carefully sculpt the gel to achieve an even and smooth surface.
- Cure the applied gel under a 48W UV lamp for 60 seconds.
- Once cured, gently remove the nail form from underneath the extended nail.
- Wipe the nail's surface with a slip solution or alcohol to remove any sticky residue.
- Shape the extended nails using a nail file to refine the edges and surface.
- Apply a top coat for a glossy finish and cure for 60 seconds under a UV/LED lamp.

Nail Strengthening and Overlay
For strengthening natural nails or creating an overlay, apply a thin, even layer of builder gel directly onto the prepared nail surface. Build up layers as needed for desired thickness and strength, ensuring each layer is cured for 60 seconds under a UV/LED lamp.

Maintenance
With proper application and care, the builder gel can maintain its integrity for over 4 weeks. It is recommended to refill your nails approximately every two weeks as your natural nails grow, to maintain the desired look and strength.

Removal Instructions
- Use a nail file to gently buff off the top gel layer.
- Utilize a nail drill machine to carefully remove the bulk of the extended gel.
- Use cleaning pads with alcohol or slip solution to clean any remaining residue from the nail surface.
- Buff the natural nail surface lightly and apply cuticle oil to moisturize and nourish the cuticles and nails.

Troubleshooting
Gel is too thick
If the builder gel is too thick, especially in colder temperatures, soak the jar in warm water (60-70°C) for 5-8 minutes. This will help it achieve a more fluid consistency for easier application.
Gel not curing properly
Ensure you are using a UV lamp of 48W or above. Insufficient wattage or curing time (recommended 60 seconds per layer) can lead to improper curing. Make sure the lamp is functioning correctly and your hand is positioned properly.
Lifting, chipping, or peeling
For better adhesion and to prevent lifting, it is highly recommended to apply nail dehydrator and nail bond (primer) before the foundation gel. Proper nail preparation, including thorough filing and cleaning, is crucial for long-lasting results.
