Pro Tips
Working with brush-on builder gel requires a slightly different touch than traditional hard gels. Use these tips to elevate your application technique:
- Wipe the brush on the bottle rim to remove excess product before applying – this prevents flooding and heat spikes.
- For clients with very thin nails, apply one thin layer, cure, then apply a second slightly thicker layer for added strength.
- Use a small amount of alcohol on a lint-free wipe to smooth the gel before curing if you see brush strokes.
- Store the bottle upside down between uses to keep the brush saturated and prevent clogging.
- Always cap the nail tip to prevent lifting – the brush-on consistency makes this easy with a single sweep.
