DEPEND 2910 8005 IQ Gel Builder Beige

Nail Builder Gel.

Build salon-quality nails at home in just a few simple steps! Change the shape of your nails, strengthen your natural nail or extend it with tips. With the Builder Gel, you get hard, stable and durable salon-quality nails that last up to 3 weeks. With the Builder Gel, your nails only need a light cleaning with Cleanser before starting the procedure.

The viscosity of the gel allows you to extend or strengthen it, while being smooth enough to self-level. After curing the top coat in the lamp, all that remains is to clean with Cleanser. Your Builder Gel nails are now hardened, dry, resistant to high impact and have a fantastic shine.

Safety information:

Gel Builder Base Coat, Gel Builder and Gel Builder Top Coat. The product is not intended for use by persons under 16 years of age. Keep out of reach of children. The product is not intended for use more than once every 3 weeks. Avoid contact with skin. Make sure that the application is limited to the surface of the nails and not to the surrounding skin or cuticles. If base coat/top coat or gel builder product gets on the skin or cuticles, carefully remove the product with a cleanser on a cotton pad. Once curing is complete, wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water to remove any remaining product. Avoid contact with eyes. If product gets into your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses and continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists, seek medical attention/advice.

Curing: The lamp has a timer that should always be set to 30 seconds. For a 60 second cure, first press the button for 30 seconds once and when the lamp turns off, press the button again for 30 seconds. It is important to always follow the times specified in the instructions. Shorter times do not cure the material properly, leading to an increased risk of allergies and poorer durability.

Allergy information: Contains ingredients that may cause allergic reactions in sensitive people. Discontinue use of this product if you develop redness or itching. If burning, itching or swelling occurs during treatment, remove any uncured material with a cotton pad and then wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. If problems persist, consult a doctor for advice. If skin irritation or rash occurs after treatment, seek medical advice/attention. Always keep a distance from the cuticle.

General application technique:

To avoid getting nail polish on your skin, we always recommend:

Have good lighting and a working position when applying products.

Apply nail polish with a good safety margin from the cuticle, especially when applying clear products, as they are harder to see.

Wipe the brush on the inside of the bottle neck when applying base and top coats to avoid applying too much nail polish on the brush and thus thick coats. Too much polish increases the risk of it running down to the cuticle, as well as poor adhesion.

Keep in mind that the polish does not dry until you cure it in a UV/LED lamp, so you have plenty of time during the application itself.

Important! Make sure that all your fingers are really under the light of the UV/LED lamp. Remember not to touch the nail with your fingers during the treatment.

Extension Application Technique:

Important: If the product comes into contact with the skin around the nail, it must be removed before baking with a cleanser on a cotton pad. Start with the four fingers of one hand, i.e. from the little finger to the index finger. Finish these first before moving on to the other hand and repeating the process. Finish with both thumbs together.

Gel Builder Extension Instructions

Use a fine/medium file to shape your natural nail evenly to fit the tip better.

Apply Depend Exfoliating Cuticle Remover around the cuticles and onto the nail, leave on for 1 minute. Wash with soap, water and a brush. Use a manicure stick to push back the cuticles if necessary and scrape off dead skin from the nail surface.

Measure and choose which tip size is right for your nail; It should fit from one side to the other of your nail. It is preferable to choose one that is too big and file it down the sides so that it fits perfectly.

Carefully file the top of the tip to reduce seams and make the transition smoother to the nail. Clean the surface of the nail from dust.

Clean your nails with a cleanser.

Apply a thin layer of glue to the attachment surface of the tip. Apply a thin layer of glue to your natural nail where the tip will be attached. Hold the tip at a downward angle to the contact surface with the nail and press it evenly against the nail, maintaining pressure for a few seconds. This reduces the risk of air bubbles.

Once the glue has dried, you can trim and file the tip to the desired shape. Clean from dust. Clean again if necessary.

Apply a base coat to your natural nail and tip. Dry for 60 seconds. (Press the 30 second button twice). NOTE: This step is done for one nail at a time!

Apply a thin layer of Gel Builder in the chosen shade to the nail and tip with a margin around the cuticle, leaving the surface wet. Take a fresh amount of gel with the brush and apply it along the center of the entire nail as a building strand. Alternatively, you can use a U-shaped technique to move the gel onto the nail. Then turn the finger upside down at a 45 degree angle to create the perfect Apex area. Gravity will pull the gel down and create an arch = Apex, where you get the best strength and balance on the nail. When you are satisfied, turn the finger back over. Adjust if necessary. Cure for 60 seconds (press the 30 second button twice). If you are not satisfied with the gel application, first clean the nail of the sticky surface as per step 7 below. Then correct the shape with a medium/coarse file, dust off and clean again.

If you want to add Gel iQ color, this should be done before applying the Top Coat and then bake for 30 seconds for each layer. Once 4 fingers are done, apply the Top Coat and bake for 60 seconds (press the 30 second button twice).

Cleaning/Finishing the Top Coat

The sticky surface that forms on the nail after baking the Top Coat must be removed to create an optimal shine. It is important to clean the entire surface of the nail with a cleanser. Wipe the surface with a firm motion to remove the sticky layer. You will need at least 12 cotton swabs.

Do the following for each nail:

Apply a generous amount of cleanser to a cotton swab. Place the wet side of the swab over the entire nail and wait 5 seconds. Press down on the pad with 2 fingers to apply even pressure over the entire nail surface. Then pull from the cuticle upwards towards the tip of the nail with a firm motion. Change the clean pad for each nail and then repeat the same steps for all nails.

Once all nails have been cleaned in this manner, do another cleaning with the cleanser. This will highlight the fantastic shine and brilliance of the color. Wet the pad with cleanser and clean from the cuticle outwards towards the tip of the nail. First in the middle, then on the left and right sides. Use a new clean pad for each hand.

Important! Finish the entire process by washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water. You have now finished the treatment and have a high-quality, durable polish that lasts up to 3 weeks.
