A pink builder gel for extreme shapes

Extreme shapes call for a gel that stays exactly where you put it. This builder gel works perfectly for building such forms: the very thick consistency gives stability, while the gel still self-levels, so it's easier to get a smooth surface. You can build several nails in one go with this gel – with no rush and no nervous correcting of the product. Despite its high density the gel self-levels, so its surface smooths out by itself after a moment, before you move on to curing.

Builder gels differ above all in how they behave while you work. The builder gels in the Master series are very thick and don't run onto the cuticles – so you have time to give the structure the right shape before the client puts her hand in the lamp.

• Colour: pink – doesn't yellow during curing and doesn't change while the nail set is worn.
• Consistency: very thick, pudding-like, but self-levelling.
• C-curve: holds the C-curve beautifully, even without pinching.
• Use: extreme shapes, sculpted French, fantasy French.
• Work: you can build several nails at once.
• Curing: 120 seconds in a 36W UV lamp or 60 seconds in a 48W DUAL LED lamp.
• Volume: 30 ml, made in Europe.

Many builder gels on the market are used both for nail extensions and for strengthening the natural nail plate – that is the general principle of how builder gels work. With Master Cloud Pink, what counts above all is building extreme shapes and sculpted French, and the thick, self-levelling consistency makes both tasks easier. By working with different gels day to day, you'll quickly get a feel for which one suits a given situation best.

A C-curve without pinching – a curve that holds the shape of the nails

The C-curve determines how the structure looks from the front and from the side. If you like a beautiful C-curve without pinching, Master Cloud Pink is for you – the gel holds it beautifully. In practice that means more peace of mind when shaping and fewer corrections while you work, and for the nail stylist, an easier route to a repeatable, perfect shape on every nail. Not every gel is as easy to build with, which is why it's worth getting to know the differences between the series. Just like Jelly Cover Beige 30 ml, it's a gel very often used in nail styling championships of all kinds.

Sculpted French and fantasy French in pink

Master Cloud Pink works well for sculpted French and fantasy French. You can read how to build such a nail set step by step in the article sculpted French – what it is and how to do it, and you'll find design ideas in French nail inspiration.

Because the colour doesn’t change while worn, the pink part of the nail set looks exactly the same from day one to the next appointment. That matters when you – and your client – want the French effect to stay even for the whole wear time. Choosing between different builder gels can be tricky, so it helps to know the differences between the ranges.

Working with builder gels – how to apply Master Cloud Pink Gel step by step

The longevity of the nail set and the adhesion of the structure depend on preparation. Recommended order of work:

• After preparing the cuticles and doing the manicure, degrease and dehydrate the natural nail plate with Nail Fresh.
• Once it has dried, apply SuperBond or a primer chosen to suit the nail plate.
• Massage the first layer of base coat into the nail and cure it.
• Apply a thin layer of gel over the cured base coat, spread the right amount and shape a perfect apex.
• Cure in the lamp, adjusting the time to its power: 120 seconds in a 36W UV lamp or 60 seconds in a 48W DUAL LED lamp.

After curing, refine the shape with a nail file. The more evenly you build the structure, the less filing you have at the end – and with a self-levelling gel, a smooth, even surface is easy to achieve.

Who is Master Cloud Pink Gel 30 ml for?

This is a good, thick gel for nail stylists who value time for modelling. You’ll choose this pink builder gel when your nail sets call for a stable product: extreme shapes, a pronounced C-curve, sculpted French. Stylists preparing for competitions will appreciate that it’s a gel often used in championships. The 30 ml size suits regular salon work, when pink is your main structure colour in gel manicures. The smaller version is Master Cloud Pink Gel 15 ml – a good choice when you’re only just getting to know the range. It’s an easy way to see how your client likes a gel manicure in this shade before you invest in a larger pot. The more often you work with different gels, the easier it is to match the right consistency to a particular nail set.

If you prefer a milky colour with the same consistency, the Master range also includes Master Milky Gel. And if you’re looking for a pink for a different technique, take a look at the Tixy range, based on thixotropy, or at Smooth Gel – a hard, levelling gel that you pinch after about 20 seconds in a DUAL LED lamp. Whichever builder gels you work with most often, knowing these differences makes it easier to match the gel to the nail set and to the pace of work in your salon – a good builder gel is always the one that suits your technique.
