Builder Gels
Builder Gels – Controlled Structure in Every Enhancement
Builder gel forms the structural core of any nail enhancement. It defines shape, strength and the long-term behaviour of the nail under everyday wear. In professional salon work, this layer determines how stable the construction remains, how confidently refills can be performed and how predictably the material responds during application. DENATO Builder Gels are developed with balanced viscosity, workability and consistent performance in mind.
For Use
Builder Gels are suitable for sculpting on forms or tips, as well as for strengthening the natural nail. They allow controlled pinching and structural adjustment according to the chosen technique. The appropriate level of strength should be selected based on the condition of the natural nail, the desired length and the client’s lifestyle.
The hardness scale supports precise material selection. Lower levels offer greater flexibility, while higher levels provide increased rigidity and structural stability.
Work with controlled product amounts and build the structure gradually. Pay attention to apex placement, side walls and proper thickness in the stress area. A stable enhancement is created through correct structure and balance, not excess material.
- Controlled consistency for precise sculpting
- Selectable strength to match nail type and technique
- Predictable material behaviour during refills
- Structural stability without unnecessary weight on the natural nail
- System compatibility with DENATO base and top products
Part of the System
Builder Gel represents the central structural layer within the professional DENATO system. Applied over the appropriate base, it creates the stable framework for colour or design. Its properties directly influence durability, flexibility and long-term performance.
Working within one compatible system supports consistent results and reduces the risk of material incompatibility in everyday salon practice.
Finishing Recommendation
After curing and refining the builder layer, continue with colour or design according to the chosen service. Always complete the enhancement with a suitable professional top coat to ensure surface protection, lasting shine and overall structural stability.
