SculptX Milky pink

Sculpt X series products are "soak-off" gels, meaning the material can be removed by soaking. The flexible consistency of the series makes the products compatible with many types of natural nails.

By choosing the base coat and primer, you can address the needs of the natural nail.

Rubber Clear and Ultrabond primer - for normal and moist nails.
Rubber PH and Bond X - for normal and dry nails.

How well do you know your own products?

You can learn about product properties in many ways! One of the most effective is to assess the hardness of the product. You can apply the gel, for example, to the backing paper of a form, cure it, and compare the results. Which product is the most flexible, and which is the hardest? Also, try different amounts of gel and observe how thickness affects curing. You might be surprised by the results!
The thinner the gel layer, the more flexible the gel will always be. As a thicker layer, any product is also harder.
In natural nail coating, product balance plays a crucial role! Always keep the nail edges thin and strengthen the nail with a thicker layer only in the central area of the natural nail.

Did you know that the polymerization properties of a soak-off product naturally limit the thickness of the soak-off layer? What does this affect and what does it mean more specifically?
Because the curing of soak-off gel is not as stable compared to hard gels (basic building gels), they should not be applied in overly thick layers.
So, do not create a structural finish with soak-off gel. Keep the layers thin!
Do not use soak-off gel instead of building gel!
Do not coat excessively long nails with soak-off gel (long nail = more product).
Do not combine soak-off material with overly hard material (e.g., SculptX/Rubber + A&Gile acrylic gel).

Under-cured soak-off products cause unnecessary exposure and sensitization to active acrylate products, for both the client and the technician. Nails will not last, they will break and lift!

NATURAL NAIL STRENGTHENING with Sculpt X gel

Strengthening provides more support to the natural nail compared to just a gel polish. Strengthening involves building a lightly sculpted apex, which helps keep the nail structure balanced. The correct placement of the apex and material control are the foundation of a lasting result.

Strengthening can be used to modify the appearance of the nail, cover any shape deviations, and enhance natural beauty without major structural changes. Although strengthening does not actually allow for nail extension, some products can be used to make small length corrections. The scope of the service depends on both the technician's skills and the products used.

A strengthened nail can be maintained and does not need to be completely removed at each visit.

Who is strengthening suitable for, and who is it not?

Strengthening is an ideal solution when:
• Nails are strong and in good condition
• The client commits to diligent home care
• Maintenance is performed regularly every 3–4 weeks
• Nails are long and flexible
• Nails are dry or the C-curve curls
• The nail needs to be smoothed or its appearance tidied up
• Nails are thin and flexible
• Nails are under light stress (e.g., work or hobby)
• The client has sensitive skin

Strengthening is not the best option if:
• Home care is uncertain or inadequate
• Nails are exposed to heavy mechanical stress
• Nails break constantly

Recommended curing time with Mosaic Progressive lamp:

1 minute, i.e., 60 seconds.

Options:

- 30x2 seconds with Full Heat Mosaic Progressive lamp

- 60 seconds Low Heat and 30 seconds Full Heat

Please note that 1x60 seconds with Low Heat lamp is not enough time! Due to lower power, 60 seconds Low Heat is practically equivalent to 30 seconds Full Heat.

It is good to start curing the gel at a calm pace. This way, the gel does not cure too quickly and does not leave uncured product in the middle of the layer.
