What are Gel Nails ? Back to top

Gel is a one component nail treatment that strengthens and promotes the growth of natural nails. Applied onto a prepared nail the product cures under a UVA light, leaving the nail hard but flexible & natural glossy finish.

Also available in permanent colours, as well as clear (non-yellowing), and French. Gel can be used on natural nails, as an overlay, sculptures or tips, and can be applied over other systems such as acrylic and glass nails. The gel is odorless and fume free, a clean system with little dust as a result of minimal buffing required before and after application.

Gel nails are an extremely natural-looking extension clear, flexible, non-yellowing, nonporous, resist lifting. Gel nails can be used for natural nail overlays, tip overlays, and sculpted onto forms for short extensions, and to help encapsulate a damaged free-edge as it grows out.  Silk or fiberglass can be added to gels when needed for repairs or extra strength.

Why have Gel Nails ?  Back to top

What sets Bio Sculpture Gel apart from other nail systems is health, appearance, durability, simplicity, and ease of removal.

Bio Sculpture Gel is a honey-like liquid that is applied over natural nails for added strength and as an alternative to the hassles of nail polish. The Gel dries instantly under a UV light. If added length is desired, the Gel can be applied over artificial tips, or the Gel itself can be sculptured onto the natural nail.     

Wipe nails with Bio Sculpture Sterilizer. Use a thin soft file, to file around the free edge and sides of the nails ensuring there are no rough edges left or any Gel attached to the skin. Apply Bio Sculpture High Gloss Clear Coat to seal the Gel and for a high shine. After applying Clear Coat and or varnish (if needed), wait 1 minute to allow to settle and spray Quick Dry. Ensure Quick Dry is 4 inches from the nail when spraying.

1. Prepare Nails

Insert nail form under the free edge of the nail. Start Gel about half way down nail (not too thin) scoop up more if needed. Apply Gel to Sculpture form, blending with Gel on nail. Cure in the UV unit for two minutes. For a natural looking sculpture it is best to use the New Bio Sculpture Sculpting Gel. It will also give extra strength to the newly formed nail.
3. Sterilize
Take hand from the UV unit. Remove form from the sculpture and sterilize.
4. File & Buff
File and buff the newly formed nail into shape, remembering to check down the barrel of the nail for thickness. Ensure the free edge nail is not too wide.
5. Overlay
Nails are now ready for overlays in Clear, French or Colour.
