Builder Gel Information

Builder gel is a thicker consistency product that is perfect for protecting your natural nails! It works great underneath dip powder and alongside with peel base. If you accidentally get builder gel on your skin during application, be sure to remove it before curing. While applying builder gel gravity is your friend! If you flip your hand palm facing up (before curing), it can help the gel to form a natural apex. To remove the builder gel, it is best to file down the product as much as possible before soaking it off.

Peel Base

Peel base is an amazing product for nail enthusiasts that want to switch up their manicures often. It allows you to remove the dip powder by simply popping it off! This product is not meant for longevity and wear time may vary. On average, a manicure with peel base can last between 1-7 days. Peel base is a wonderful alternative to soaking off dip powder with acetone. The more layers of peel base you apply, the sooner the nail enhancement will lift. For better wear time, avoid getting the peel base on your skin and side walls. This product can be used on top of your natural nails, clear dip powder, and even builder gel. All it needs is a smooth surface!

Step 2: Push back and remove any cuticle on the nail plate.

Step 3: Cleanse the nails with rubbing alcohol or dehydrator (optional).

Step 5: Let the peel base dry thoroughly (between 3-5 minutes).

*tip - once the peel base is dry, apply a layer of dip powder base liquid and let it dry. This gives an even surface for the dip powder application.

Step 6: Begin normal dip powder application on top.
