DARK Smart Builder Gel #11 offers an innovative solution for nail professionals seeking precision, durability, and ease of use. Designed with a slightly thinner yet firm consistency, this gel delivers outstanding strength without the bulk, making it perfect for both long and short nails. Unlike traditional builder gels, it has no sticky layer, eliminating the need for wiping before applying the top coat, which reduces salon time and improves client satisfaction.
Key Features and Benefits
This medium-thick, self-leveling gel ensures smooth application and flawless finishes. Its formulation provides excellent adhesion and minimal risk of exfoliation, addressing common problems like lifting or peeling. The gel cures quickly in just 60 seconds under a 48W LED lamp, though it can generate a slight warming sensation. To prevent discomfort, it is recommended to cure on low power or remove the hand momentarily during polymerization.
DARK Smart Builder Gel #11 is compatible with Dark Scotch Base or any rubber base, which should be applied thinly over the nail plate to ensure perfect bonding. For optimal results, prep nails with a 180/240 grit file and degrease thoroughly before application.
Application and Usage Tips
-
Achieve a smooth transition near the cuticle without thick layers.
-
For nails without length, use the “with edges” technique to avoid thin ends.
-
Maintain an end thickness of about 0.7 mm for strength and durability.
-
After curing, file at least 1 mm from the free edge internally to avoid lifting.
This builder gel combines strength with flexibility, so nails are robust but not brittle, reducing breaks and increasing longevity.
Additional Accessories
To enhance results, use with DARK’s specialized accessories like the Dark Scotch Base and top coats, which complement the gel’s formula for a perfect finish. The non-acidic nature of DARK solid materials also ensures a gentle experience for the natural nail.
With DARK Smart Builder Gel #11, nail technicians get a reliable, easy-to-work-with product that speeds up service time, reduces common application issues, and guarantees stunning, durable nails every time. Whether for strengthening or sculpting, it’s the smart choice for professional nail care.
