Gel for extensions YOUARECUTE Builder Gel 1 transparent 15 ml (995-4850-1351)

Builder Gel is a durable photopolymer material designed for sculpting, strengthening, and significantly extending the nail plate. Thanks to the content of photoinitiators, the gel quickly cures under UV/LED radiation, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting result. The material combines strength, elasticity, and ease of use, making it a universal choice for both classic nail extensions and modern no-file techniques.

You Are Cute Gel has a medium consistency, is easy to sculpt, and spreads evenly over the nail surface. It has thixotropic properties — becoming more fluid when worked with a brush, which allows precise control over product placement. At the same time, the gel does not shrink, holds the apex well, and maintains its shape even during long wear.

You Are Cute Extension Gel is acid-free, does not cause a burning sensation in the lamp, and features excellent shock absorption — it does not crack or chip under mechanical stress. The material covers the free edge, has medium pigmentation, and is suitable for “no-file” and “upper forms” techniques. To achieve maximum adhesion, a Rubber Base layer must always be used underneath.

Complete curing takes 120 seconds in a 36–48 W lamp with a wavelength of 365–405 nm. The optimal coating thickness is up to 0.5 mm at the free edge and up to 1 mm in the apex area.

Advantages:

• medium consistency for comfortable application
• thixotropic formula for controlled application
• no burning sensation during curing

Application Technology (strengthening):

1. Remove the old coating and shape the nail, leaving a small length reserve if necessary. Treat the surface with a 220-grit file or buffer and perform a manicure. Wash your hands after using remover.
2. Degrease the nail plate using Nail Prep in two stages, carefully treating the cuticle area and sidewalls. Apply primer if necessary.
3. Apply a Rubber Base layer with rubbing motions, cure in the lamp for 60 seconds, and remove the sticky layer.
4. Level with Builder Gel, leaving a 0.5–1 mm gap from the cuticle. Cure for 60 seconds, then adjust the shape with a file if necessary. To prevent lifting on thin nails, it is recommended to remove part of the natural nail from the underside.
5. Remove the sticky layer, apply color coating, and finish with top coat. Cure the top for 120 seconds without wiping.

Application Technology (classic extension):

1. Prepare the nail plate: remove the coating, shorten the length to 1 mm, shape it, and treat the surface with a file or buffer. Perform manicure and degreasing.
2. Apply primer and a Rubber Base layer, cure for 60 seconds, and remove the sticky layer. Install the extension form.
3. Form the free edge with transparent gel, cure for 30 seconds, then shape with a file. Remove dust and tackiness.
4. Reapply Rubber Base to the treated areas, cure for 30 seconds. Sculpt with Builder Gel; if necessary, pinch at 10–20 seconds. Cure in the lamp for 120 seconds.
5. Remove the sticky layer, apply gel polish, and finish with top coat, curing for 120 seconds without wiping.
