F.O.X Hard Gel Color is a collection of medium-viscosity hard gels, presented in five delicate pastel shades: Creamy, Blush, Mint, Blue, and Lemon. The gels have excellent self-leveling properties, strength, and ease of filing. Ideal for creating and strengthening both natural and artificial nails, suitable for various extension techniques, including strengthening, and also compatible for creating gradients and French manicures.

Properties:

• Three-phase system
• Hard gel
• Medium viscosity
• Self-leveling
• Low heat during polymerization, stability
• High pigmentation (80-100%)
• Sticky layer
• Not soluble in liquid
• Compatibility with other materials

Recommendations:

For optimal polymerization, it is recommended to apply on a substrate of Hard Gel Clear or Builder Gel One Step. Apply in 2 thin layers. Maximum length for extensions: 1:1.

Application:

Extension on upper forms:

1. Prepare the nail plate using F.O.X Nail Prep.
2. For better adhesion, apply acid-free primer F.O.X Ultrabond.
3. Apply an elastic base with rubbing movements, for example, F.O.X Power Base or F.O.X Rubber Base.
4. Polymerize: 1 min in a UV lamp (36 W) or 30 sec in a LED/UV lamp (36/48 W).
5. Select Dual Form upper forms of the desired size.
6. Fill the form with F.O.X Hard gel, distributing it evenly.
7. Gently press the form to the nail, remove excess gel.
8. Polymerize: 2-3 min in a UV lamp (36 W) or 2-4 min in a LED/UV lamp (36/48 W).
9. Carefully remove the form, give the nail the desired shape and length.
10. File and polish the surface.

Nail strengthening:

1. Apply a thin, rubbing layer of gel to the prepared nail plate.
2. Polymerize: 1 min in a UV lamp (36 W) or 30 sec in a LED/UV lamp (36/48 W).
3. Apply a second layer to level and create a smooth surface.
4. Polymerize: 2-3 min in a UV lamp (36 W) or 2-4 min in a LED/UV lamp (36/48 W).

Extension on paper forms:

1. Install and secure the paper form under the free edge of the nail.
2. Apply a thin layer of F.O.X Hard gel to the natural nail and continue onto the form, forming the base of the desired length and shape.
3. Polymerize: 2-3 min in a UV lamp (36 W) or 2-4 min in a LED/UV lamp (36/48 W).
4. Model the architecture of the nail, applying additional layers of gel and polymerizing each layer.
5. Remove the form, file the nail, giving it the desired shape.
6. Prepare the nail for gel polish or top coat.

Removal: Remove the material by filing with a milling cutter or file.

Professional tips: To prevent leaks and accidental polymerization, make a small hole in the protective foil of the jar instead of removing it completely. Use the edge of the foil to remove excess product from the brush.
