Strength, clarity, and control—this hard sculpting gel is engineered for professionals who demand salon-speed workability with client-lasting results. Brisa™ Glass forms a covalent bond with natural keratin to lock down superior adhesion, so enhancements wear thin, look natural, and stay beautiful between services. The odorless, hypoallergenic formula keeps your treatment room calm and client-friendly while giving you the crisp architecture and glassy finish that premium gel services require.
From overlays to sculpted length, this non-stringy UV gel self-smooths for efficient shaping, files like a dream, and resists service breakdown. If you want a crystal-clear canvas that won’t yellow, lift, or cloud your artistry, Brisa™ Glass delivers consistency you can count on—appointment after appointment.
Why pros reach for Brisa™ Glass
Every minute in the chair has to pay off. Brisa™ Glass is built for speed without surrendering control, so you can move confidently from prep to finish with fewer refinements and less dust. Its reinforced, cross-linking chemistry creates a durable network that bonds to the natural nail’s keratin, giving you a strong, thin enhancement that flexes with the nail and maintains clarity—even under salon lighting and daily wear. Clients get lightweight comfort and an elegant, natural look; you get predictable performance and fewer callbacks.
The science behind the hold: Keratin-bonding chemistry
Traditional adhesion relies on roughing the plate and hoping the coating hangs on. Brisa™ Glass goes further by forming a covalent link with keratin structures on the nail surface. That bond creates a “locked-in” base layer designed to resist lift, chipping, and service breakdown. The result is extended wear, stronger smile lines, and a stable foundation for art or a pristine transparent finish. Because the formula is hypoallergenic and free from acrylates, glutaraldehyde, and formaldehyde, it supports a clean-room approach without sacrificing strength.
Workability that speeds up your day
Gel that strings or slumps wastes time and creates inconsistent results. Brisa™ Glass has a controlled viscosity: it stays where you place it, levels smoothly for dome control, and cures to a high-clarity, non-porous surface that files cleanly. That means you sculpt apex and structure efficiently, refine with fewer passes, and finish to a flawless shine in less time.
- Non-stringy control: Pick up, place, and press with minimal pull-back.
- Self-leveling balance: Smooths to reduce ridges while maintaining the apex.
- Efficient refinement: Files crisply with less clog, generating less dust.
Odorless comfort for a premium client experience
An odorless service elevates the ambiance in day spas, destination spas, and busy salon floors. Brisa™ Glass keeps the air calm and the focus on your service, supporting client comfort and helping your team maintain a serene, professional environment. Because the system is UV-curing, there’s no monomer odor—and the finished enhancement has a glass-clear look clients love for classic, clean sets or encapsulation.
Versatility across services
One jar. Many bookings. Brisa™ Glass is equally at home building length on forms, correcting architecture, strengthening overlays, and refining toe services for pedicure clients who need durable protection. Use it as a crystal-clear base for French, to encapsulate light accents, or to create a natural-nail overlay that feels weightless but wears like iron.
- Forms: Sculpt salon-wearable length with crisp lower arches and a stable apex.
- Overlays: Reinforce natural nails for clients who need strength without bulk.
- Toes: Create protective, glossy enhancements for long-lasting pedicure perfection.
Professional application workflow
Brisa™ Glass is designed for disciplined, repeatable service steps. Follow your standard professional prep and stay within manufacturer lamp guidelines for best results.
- Prep: Perform a thorough manicure or pedicure prep. Cleanse, remove non-living tissue, and gently refine the surface.
- Base layer: Apply a thin bonding layer as directed. The chemistry is optimized to covalently bond to keratin once properly cured.
- Build: Float Brisa™ Glass where structure is needed—apex, sidewalls, and free edge. Its non-stringy viscosity helps you create architecture with minimal chasing.
- Cure: Use a professional UV lamp per CND’s instructions for even polymerization and clarity.
- Refine & finish: File and shape; then buff to a high gloss or seal with your preferred UV top coat.
Pro tip: For overlays, keep the center line thickest and taper to sidewalls for a strong, thin architecture. For sculpting on forms, pre-map your lower arch and support it with an initial pass before building the apex to minimize filing.
Client wear and maintenance benefits
Clients return because the nails look natural, feel comfortable, and last. Brisa™ Glass creates enhancements that are thin yet durable, resisting discoloration and maintaining optical clarity. The covalent bond cuts down on lifting—especially at stress points—so your rebalances are faster and more profitable. Educate clients to use cuticle oil nightly and avoid harsh solvents; the non-porous gel surface cleans easily and stays glossy between appointments.
Health-conscious, pro-grade formulation
Today’s clientele is more ingredient-aware than ever. Brisa™ Glass supports that conversation with a hypoallergenic approach and a professional, odorless cure. Free of acrylates, glutaraldehyde, and formaldehyde, the formula aligns with service environments where cleanliness, comfort, and client trust matter. It’s a reassuring choice for sensitive clients and a reliable workhorse for technicians who need dependable chemistry day in and day out.
Service menu ideas to increase revenue
Use Brisa™ Glass to build high-value, high-retention services that clients rebook on rhythm. Position the product in your menu with descriptive, benefit-led language that emphasizes clarity, strength, and comfort.
- Signature Clear Architecture Overlay: Natural-looking strength for clients who want barely-there polish perfection. Ideal upsell for chronic peelers or those who break at the sidewalls.
- Crystal Sculpted Set: Clean, glass-clear extensions with a salon-thin profile. Perfect foundation for French or minimalist art.
- Pedicure Protection Upgrade: Add a thin Brisa™ Glass overlay to toenails for clients who want long-lasting shine, smoothness, and protection from shoe friction.
- Rebalance & Refresh: Fast, dust-light maintenance with a high-shine finish. Market as a quicker, cleaner appointment that preserves clarity.
Consider pairing with premium cuticle oils and aftercare kits for retail add-ons. While Brisa™ Glass itself is a professional-use product, retailing supporting care helps clients protect their investment and increases your per-ticket revenue.
Consistency you can trust when the book is full
Busy days leave no room for surprises. Brisa™ Glass offers predictable self-leveling and reliable cure, so your timing stays tight and results stay consistent from first client to last. That stability also helps during training and team onboarding—new technicians can master form control with less chasing, while seasoned pros will appreciate the clean file and crisp finish that cut minutes from each service.
Cost efficiency for working salons
Performance matters, but so does cost per service. The 1.5 oz jar provides excellent mileage thanks to the thin-wear formula and minimal product waste during sculpting. Because the gel stays put and files cleanly, you’ll spend less time re-balancing bulk and more time booking revenue. More services per jar and fewer refinements add up to stronger margins without compromising client results.
