Key Materials for Sculpting and Shaping

In modern nail service, several categories of materials are used, each suitable for different purposes:

Builder Gel:

• What it is: Hard or semi-hard polymers that provide maximum strength and rigidity.

• Use: Ideal for creating long and arched shapes and for repairing serious damage. Gels require mandatory filing to achieve the final shape.

• For which nails: For all types, especially for weak or curved nails that require strong architectural support.

Acrygel (Polygel):

• What it is: A hybrid of gel and acrylic. The material is very pliable, does not drip, and does not have a strong odor.

• Use: Used for reconstruction, strengthening, and shaping complex forms. Ideal for professionals who prefer to work with a brush without rushing.

• For which nails: Universal, suitable even for thin and moist nails.

Liquid Acrygel:

• What it is: A more liquid version of acrygel that combines the strength of gel with the ease of self-leveling.

• Use: Ideal for quick strengthening and leveling of the natural nail plate. Requires minimal filing.

• For which nails: For short or medium nails that do not require significant lengthening.

When and What to Choose: Key Rules

The choice of material for nail sculpting depends on the client's nail condition and the goal of the procedure:

• For repair and correction: For localized repair of chips and cracks, it is best to buy Builder Gel, as it provides maximum strength.

• For thin and long nails: For extension on forms, choose a hard builder gel that holds the arch well and does not shrink.

• For strengthening without excessive bulk: If the goal is to strengthen the natural length, not extend it, liquid acrygel will be the best choice.
