DARK - Smart Builder Gel #05, 15ml, 22ml and 30ml

The perfect balance of strength, control, and self-leveling performance — meet DARK Smart Builder Gel #05, a must-have for nail professionals who demand versatility without compromise.

Advanced Formula for Effortless Nail Sculpting

DARK Smart Builder Gel #05 is a medium-thick, self-leveling builder gel designed for both natural nail strengthening and sculpting extensions. It features a slightly thinner consistency than traditional builder gels, making it easier to work with while retaining firmness and durability. Whether you’re working on long or short nails, this builder gel gives you flawless control and a smooth, even finish every time.

Key Benefits

• Self-leveling performance reduces the need for excess filing and saves application time.

• No sticky layer — skip the inhibition layer removal between base and top when using DARK Scotch system products.

• High-temperature resistance allows for effective apex creation without premature curing.

• Firm but flexible texture reduces the risk of cracking or brittleness.

• Minimal lifting with proper prep and technique, ensuring long-lasting wear.

• Acid-free & cruelty-free — safe for sensitive clients and compliant with European and Ukrainian certifications.

How It Solves Common Nail Tech Challenges

• Reduces product waste with a gel that stays where you place it.

• Prevents overheating when cured under low power — ideal for clients with sensitivity.

• No stickiness means fewer cleanup steps and smoother overlays.

• Versatile for both overlays and sculpted forms, especially when used with proper edge-thickening techniques on shorter nails.

Application Tips

1. Prep the nail with a 180/240 file, degrease thoroughly.

2. Apply a thin layer of DARK Scotch Base (or compatible rubber base) close to the cuticle and side walls.

3. Build or strengthen with Smart Builder Gel #05. Cure for 60 seconds at 48W.

4. If strengthening natural nails, file at least 1mm from the underside to prevent lifting.
