DARK Smart Builder gel 14, 30 ml

DARK Smart Builder Gel 14 is a professional medium-viscosity hard gel designed for strengthening, extending, repairing, and modeling nails. Shade 14 is a muted dusty rose pink, offering an elegant, sophisticated nude finish that works beautifully for natural-looking manicures, French designs, and full-color nail enhancements.

Working Tips for DARK Smart Builder Gel 14

• 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 may generate heat during polymerization, reduced lamp power is recommended when necessary. If a strong burning sensation occurs, temporarily remove the hand from the lamp.
