DARK Smart Builder gel 10, 30 ml

DARK Smart Builder Gel 10 is a professional medium-viscosity hard gel designed for strengthening, extending, repairing, and modeling nails. Shade 10 is a delicate translucent pink tone that creates a fresh, elegant finish, making it ideal for nude manicures, French designs, and natural-looking nail enhancements.

The gel has a slightly thinner consistency than traditional builder gels while remaining hard and durable after polymerization. It is comfortable to work with on both short and long nails, allows precise modeling, and creates a strong yet non-brittle coating.

Working Tips for DARK Smart Builder Gel 10

• For pinching the nail architecture, pinch the gel after approximately 12–15 seconds of curing.
• Intermediate curing can be performed starting from approximately 15 seconds.
• Avoid applying excessive product close to the cuticle. Create a smooth transition with minimal thickness in this area.
• When strengthening natural nails, file out at least 1 mm of the natural nail from underneath the free edge to help prevent lifting.
• When using base coats from other brands, removing the sticky layer from the base is recommended.
• The more transparent the gel, the harder the cured material may be.
• If the gel becomes excessively thick due to cold temperatures, warm the required amount separately on a palette rather than heating the entire container.
• Gels containing glitter should be mixed before use.
• Because the gel can generate heat during polymerization, reduced lamp power is recommended when necessary. If a strong burning sensation occurs, temporarily remove the hand from the lamp.
