One Drop Gel for Nail Extensions

One Drop Gel No. 01 in a vacuum pump jar is a cool light pink, medium–thick camouflage gel designed for nail extension, strengthening, and correcting the architecture of nails of medium and longer lengths. It is suitable for: – extensions on both upper and lower forms – strengthening and correcting nail architecture as a mono–product or in combination techniques with harder polymer materials. Advantages of One Drop Gel include a convenient medium–thick consistency, cold polymerization, and natural shades. Its primary benefit is excellent self–leveling. The gel has medium pigmentation, and its natural shade camouflages the transition from natural to artificial nails, adapting to the nail plate color. It is easy to use and store thanks to the vacuum dosing system: one press, one drop. The volume of the drop can be adjusted by the pressure applied to the pump. Hardness: high. Viscosity: medium. Plasticity: low. Density: medium. Pigmentation: medium. Note that before use, the transparent protective silicone cap must be removed from the pump. Application technique: 0. Prepare the nail plate: perform a manicure and shape the free edge of the nail. 1. Degreasing: degrease the nail plate mechanically (with a buff) and chemically (using PREPFINISH and a lint–free wipe. 2. Dehydration: apply NAIL FRESHER to the entire nail, allowing it to air dry until a whitish hue appears on the surface. 3. Bonding: skip this step if using the adhesive base PRO BASE–BOND. 4. Base layer: apply a uniform layer of the base coat PRO BASE–BOND, carefully capping the sidewalls and free edge. Cure the base coat in a UV lamp for 2–3 minutes or in an LED lamp for 60 seconds. 5. Strengthening: using a gel brush, apply a rubbing layer of gel over the entire nail surface, leaving a 1mm margin from the cuticle. Apply a second leveling layer over the uncured gel, following the key principles of shaping with hard materials. Cure in a UV lamp for 2–4 minutes, or in an LED lamp for 90 seconds. Remove any sticky residue with PREPFINISH and a lint–free wipe. Use a 150/180 grit file to shape the form. PRO tips: – For easier material application, consider using upper forms or gel tips. – To prevent lifting at the free edge, it is recommended to file the natural nail from the inside by 1–2mm. For extensions: prepare and place forms on each finger sequentially. Apply a thin base layer of the desired length and shape directly on the lower or upper form, modeling the nail architecture with gel. To create the arch, you can press the gel on the 7th–12th second, depending on the lamp type and power. Then place the nail in the lamp until the gel is fully cured for 60 seconds in an LED lamp or 3–4 minutes in a UV lamp. Remove any sticky residue with PREPFINISH and a lint–free wipe. Use a 150/180 grit file to shape the form. PRO tip: apply the gel with a minimum of 1mm margin from the cuticle to avoid material lifting in that area.
