Builder Gel with Dual Forms
from £45
Once your nails have been prepared with a ‘Russian’ (dry) manicure, the treatment can be applied.
With this technique a preformed nail shape with a generous apex is filled with gel and pressed onto your natural nail, when cured the preformed shape is popped off leaving 10 identically shaped nails which just need filing for perfect shape and length.
If a hard gel is used, it is filed off when needing replacement; soft gel can be soaked off.
They usually last 3 -4 weeks and can be infilled with builder gel for a seamless fill on new nail growth.
Gel polish is removed by first filing the shiny top coat and then soaking nails in acetone-saturated cotton pads wrapped in foil for about 15 minutes, and then gently pushing off the gel and finishing with cuticle oil to rehydrate.
