One Drop Nail Extension Gel

One Drop Gel No04 is a light nude gel for nail extension in a vacuum pump jar. It is a medium–thick camouflaging gel suitable for building, strengthening, and correcting nails of medium and longer lengths. It can be used for: – Extensions over forms – Strengthening and correcting nail architecture both as a standalone product and in combination with harder polymer materials. Advantages of One Drop Gel: – User–friendly medium–thick consistency – Cold polymerization – Natural shades The key benefit is excellent self–leveling. The gel features medium pigmentation and a natural shade, camouflaging the transition from natural to artificial nails, adapting to the color of the nail plate. It is convenient to use and store due to its vacuum dosing system: one pump equals one drop. The drop volume is adjustable based on the pressure applied to the pump. Hardness: High. Viscosity: Medium. Plasticity: Low. Density: Medium. Pigmentation: Medium. Note: Remove the transparent protective silicone cap from the pump before use. Application Technique: 0. Prepare the nail plate: perform a manicure and shape the free edge of the nail as desired. 1. Degreasing: Degrease the nail plate mechanically (with a buffer) and chemically (using PREPFINISH and a lint–free wipe. 2. Dehydration: Apply NAIL FRESHER to the entire nail and let it air dry until a whitish hue appears on the surface. 3. Bonding: If using the adhesive base PRO BASE–BOND, skip this step. 4. Base Layer: Apply a uniform layer of PRO BASE–BOND base coat, carefully covering 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 surface of the nail, keeping a 1mm distance from the cuticle. Apply a second leveling layer over the uncured gel, following the basic principles of modeling with solid materials. Cure in a UV lamp for 2–4 minutes or in an LED lamp for 90 seconds. Remove the remaining stickiness with PREPFINISH and a lint–free wipe. Use a 150/180 grit file for the step–by–step shaping of the form. PRO Tips: – To ease material application, you may use upper forms or gel tips. – To prevent lifting from the free edge, it is recommended to file the natural nail from the inside by 1–2mm. For extensions: Prepare/set forms sequentially on each finger. Apply a thin underlay of the desired length and shape directly on the lower or upper form, modeling nail architecture with gel. To create an arch, hold the gel at 7–12 seconds, depending on the type and power of the lamp. Then, send the nail to the lamp for full gel polymerization for 60 seconds in an LED lamp or 3–4 minutes in a UV lamp. Remove the remaining stickiness using PREPFINISH and a lint–free wipe. Use a 150/180 grit file for the step–by–step shaping of the form. PRO Tip: Apply gel with a minimum 1mm distance from the cuticle to avoid material lifting in this area.
