HOW TO APPLY ProBuild IN 8 Easy STEPS
Follow these simple steps to achieve a smooth, professional finish:
-
PREP THE NAILS Begin by prepping the natural nails. Cleanse the surface, push back the cuticles, and buff the nail gently with a 100/180 file followed by a buff block to ensure the gel adheres properly. Then start to shape the nails to the clients desired look.
- APPLY ProPrime Apply a thin, even layer of Primer to remove any oils from the nails surface.
- APPLY SUPER BONDER OR VITAMIN BONDER Apply a thin even layer and cure for 60 seconds.
- APPLY PROBUILD apply a thin even layer ProBuild gel to the nail, taking care to avoid creating bulk. Cure under your nail lamp for 99 seconds on Low Heat Mode.
- SECOND LAYER FOR STRUCTURE Add a second layer of ProBuild, ensuring to build an apex for added strength. Cure under the lamp for another 99 seconds on Low Heat Mode.
- OPTIONAL: APPLY A THIRD LAYER If additional strength or thickness is desired, apply a third layer of builder gel. Cure again to set the product.
- REFINE THE SHAPE (IF NEEDED) After curing, use your file or buffer to gently refine the shape of the nail. This step ensures a smooth and even surface, setting the stage for a flawless top coat.
- FINISH WITH A TOP COAT Apply a top coat of your choice to seal in the ProBuild and provide a durable, protective layer. Cure the top coat for 90 seconds.
CAN YOU ADD GEL POLISH OVER BUILDER GEL?
Yes! If you'd like to add extra colour or nail art, simply apply our HEMA Free gel polish over the cured ProBuild layers and finish with a top coat for long-lasting wear.
