Description
TOUCH BUILDER GEL – a three-phase camouflage builder gel for modelling
TOUCH BUILDER GEL is a three-phase camouflage builder gel characterised by ideal consistency that allows it to self-level evenly. The gel is excellent for nail shaping – it maintains the arch, does not shrink from the nail and remains stable. Due to its properties, the gel is also suitable for no-file technique work, and if filing is needed – it files easily, does not clog the file and produces fine, light dust. In addition to modelling, it is perfect for nail strengthening, length restoration and working with dual forms.
TOUCH BUILDER GEL advantages:
- Medium thickness, tending towards thicker
- High durability and hardness
- Quick and easy to use

- Does not crack or delaminate
- Maintains arch and does not shrink even on long nails
- Arch can be pressed after 15 seconds curing
- Medium pigmentation – camouflages nail imperfections
- Suitable for strengthening, extension, repair and 3D designs
Application method:
- Gently buff the surface with a 180 grit file
- Degrease nails with cleaner
- Apply dehydrator
- Apply Ultrabond/primer to the nail tip with an almost dry brush, avoiding the cuticle
- Apply a thin layer of Rubber Base as a foundation
