Multifunctional Builder Gel

Shills Professional Multifunctional Builder Gel is a versatile structural nail gel designed to support multiple professional enhancement techniques in one convenient formula. Created for strengthening natural nails, building overlays, creating a balanced apex, adding controlled length, repairing damaged areas and refining nail structure, this builder gel is ideal for technicians who need one adaptable product for a wide range of manicure services.

Its thicker, controllable consistency helps the gel remain where it is placed while allowing it to self-level gradually for a smoother surface. This makes it easier to build strength in the stress area, correct uneven nail shapes and create clean, professional architecture without unnecessary bulk.

Multifunctional Builder Gel can be used over properly prepared natural nails or with compatible nail forms and extension systems. It is suitable for structured manicures, strengthening services, short-to-medium extensions, infills, rebalancing and selected nail repairs. Once properly cured under a compatible UV or LED nail lamp, the gel can be refined, shaped and finished with gel polish, French designs, nail art or top coat.

Step 1 – Prepare the Natural Nails:
Clean and sanitize the nails. Shape the free edge and carefully prepare the cuticle area according to your professional manicure routine.

Step 2 – Prepare the Nail Surface:
Lightly remove surface shine where appropriate. Avoid unnecessarily thinning the natural nail.

Step 3 – Remove Dust and Oil:
Clean away filing dust, surface oil and residue so the nail is completely prepared for product application.

Step 4 – Apply Preparation Products if Required:
Apply dehydrator, primer or bonding products according to the requirements of the selected gel system.

Step 5 – Apply Base Layer if Required:
Apply a compatible base or bonding gel where recommended and cure according to the system instructions.

Step 6 – Apply a Thin Slip Layer:
Apply a thin layer of Multifunctional Builder Gel across the nail surface without curing immediately if the selected application technique requires a wet slip layer.

Step 7 – Add the Building Layer:
Place an appropriate bead of builder gel in the central structural area and guide the product toward the cuticle, sidewalls and free edge.

Step 8 – Create the Apex:
Maintain additional gel in the stress area to create a properly balanced apex. Avoid excessive bulk near the cuticle or free edge.

Step 9 – Allow the Gel to Self-Level:
Give the gel time to settle. Carefully repositioning the finger may help achieve a smoother and more balanced surface where appropriate.

Step 10 – Cure Properly:
Cure under a compatible UV or LED nail lamp according to the recommended curing instructions.

Step 11 – Add Additional Structure if Needed:
For longer nails, corrections or areas requiring additional reinforcement, apply another controlled layer and cure again.

Step 12 – Refine the Shape:
If required, cleanse the surface according to the product system and refine the enhancement using suitable files and buffers.

Step 13 – Apply Colour or Nail Art:
The builder gel can be followed with gel polish, French tips, glitter, chrome, rhinestones or other compatible nail-art products.

Step 14 – Apply Top Coat:
Seal the completed manicure with a compatible top coat and cure according to the product instructions.
