Advanced Strength Meets Precision Application
Discover the performance of DARK Smart Builder Gel #26, a medium-thick, self-leveling builder gel designed for both beginners and professionals. With an improved formula that balances strength and flexibility, this gel offers effortless application and long-lasting wear, even for the most challenging nail types.
Why Choose Smart Builder Gel?
This Smart Gel stands out from traditional builder gels with a slightly thinner texture—making it easier to apply—while maintaining impressive durability. It contains no sticky dispersion layer, eliminating the need to wipe the base or top layers, saving you time during every step of the nail enhancement process.
Key Benefits:
-
Versatile use for both short and long nails
-
Smooth self-leveling texture for even application
-
No sticky residue – reduces prep and finish time
-
Strong but not brittle – perfect for clients who are hard on their hands
-
Low exfoliation risk when used with proper prep
-
High-temperature formula allows for excellent pressability
To avoid discomfort during curing, we recommend polymerizing at low power (48W) for 60 seconds. In case of heat spikes, instruct your client to momentarily remove their hand from the lamp.
How to Use:
-
Gently file the natural nail (180/240 grit).
-
Degrease thoroughly.
-
Apply Dark Scotch Base or any rubber base in a thin layer for strong adhesion.
-
Sculpt or reinforce using Smart Builder Gel:
-
Create a smooth transition at the cuticle.
-
Use the “with edges” technique on nails without length to avoid weak tips.
-
Maintain a recommended free edge thickness of 0.7 mm.
-
-
Cure for 60 seconds at 48W.
For strengthening, always file 1 mm underneath the nail to prevent free edge lifting.
Compatibility & Accessories
Pair this builder gel with Dark Scotch Base and your favorite rubber top coat for optimal results. All DARK materials are non-acidic, making them safer for sensitive clients and reducing the chance of irritation.
