Pro Tips
Get the most out of DND Clear 3D Gel with these practical tips from working nail artists.
- For sharper edges on 3D shapes, dip your brush in a small amount of clear gel and pull the material quickly to form fine points.
- If your design requires multiple layers, cure each layer for 60 seconds before adding the next to avoid over-building.
- To keep the gel from sticking to your brush, lightly dip the brush in a small amount of alcohol or alcohol cleanser before sculpting.
- Use this gel for repairs or fills – a tiny drop can level out uneven areas or reattach lifted gel overlays.
- Practice on a nail tip or practice board before applying to a client to get a feel for the gel’s viscosity and how it behaves under your lamp.
