Classic LUNA Premium Gel is a polymer, light-curing material that, thanks to its strength, allows significant nail plate extension. It contains photoinitiators that start the polymerization process when exposed to ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength.
Advantages:
- Acid-free.
- Shock-absorbing — does not crack upon impact.
- Medium-thick consistency.
- Medium pigmentation, covers the free edge.
- Suitable for no-file extension technique.
- Suitable for upper forms technique.
- Does not cause burning sensation in the lamp.
- Becomes thicker in cold temperatures and thinner in warmth.
- Thixotropic — becomes thinner when moved with a brush during application.
- Can be slightly warmed to achieve a thinner consistency.
- Hard at 1 mm thickness. If thinner than 1 mm, it may flex slightly but this does not affect wear.
- No shrinkage, holds the arch well.
- Requires a Rubber Base underlayer.
- Polymerization wavelength: 365–405 nm.
- UV/LED lamp power: 36–48W.
- Recommended thickness: 0.5 mm at the free edge / 1 mm at the apex.
- Full curing time: 120 seconds.

Application Method:
Strengthening:
- Remove previous coating.
- Do not file the nail shape or leave 2 mm of length to refine after leveling.
- File with a 220-grit file without strong pressure, lifting the nail plate scales, or use a 100-grit buffer.
- Perform manicure.
- If removers were used, wash hands with soap afterward.
- Degrease the nail using Nail Prep LUNAmoon (two steps, 4 wipes total; one wipe per 5 fingers). First — wipe the surface. Second — wrap a wipe around an orange stick and clean the cuticle area and sidewalls.
- Primer is optional if the base used underneath has sufficient acidity.
- Apply Rubber Base LUNAmoon with a flat gel brush using rubbing motions. Cover sidewalls and cure for 60 seconds.
- Remove sticky layer.
- Level with gel, keeping 0.5–1 mm distance from the cuticle. Cure 60 seconds.
- Refine the shape after leveling to create thickness at the free edge.
- If the natural nail is thin, remove 1 mm from underneath to prevent lifting.
- Remove stickiness and apply gel polish.
- Apply top coat. Cure 120 seconds. Do not wipe after curing to preserve shine.
Classic Extension:
- Remove previous coating.
- Shorten nail to 1 mm and shape round.
- File with 220-grit file or 100-grit buffer without strong pressure.
- Perform manicure.
- Wash hands if removers were used.
- Degrease with Nail Prep LUNAmoon (two-step method as above).
- Apply LUNAmoon primer.
- Apply Rubber Base LUNAmoon, cure 60 seconds.
- Remove sticky layer.
- Apply nail extension form.
- Build free edge with clear gel, cure 30 seconds.
- File and shape the nail.
- Remove stickiness and dust.
- Apply Rubber Base again to filed areas, cure 30 seconds.
- Level with gel, place in lamp and pinch at 10–15 seconds (20 seconds if highly sticky or glitter gel).
- Fully cure for 120 seconds.
- Remove sticky layer before gel polish application.
- Apply top coat, cure 120 seconds. Do not wipe after curing.
