SculptX Zephyr

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

You can address the needs of the natural nail by choosing the right base coat and primer.

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

How well do you know your own products?

There are many ways to get to know the properties of products! One of the most effective is to assess the hardness of the product. For example, you can apply the gel to the backing paper of a form, cure it, and compare the results. Which product is the most flexible, which is the hardest? Also, try different amounts of gel and observe how thickness affects curing. You might be surprised by the results!
A gel is always more flexible the thinner the gel layer is. In a thicker layer, any product will also be harder.
When coating natural nails, the balance of the product plays a very important role! Always keep the edges of the nail 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 to some extent? What does this affect and what exactly does it mean?
Because the curing of soak-off gel is not as stable as hard gels (basic builder gels), they should not be applied in too thick a layer.
Therefore, do not do builder-like finishing with soak-off gel. Keep the layers thin!
Do not use soak-off gel instead of builder gel!
Do not overlay too long a nail with soak-off gel (long nail = more product).
Do not combine soak-off material with too hard a 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 gel polish. Strengthening involves lightly shaping an apex, which helps keep the nail structure balanced. Correct apex placement and material control are the foundation for a durable result.

Strengthening can modify the appearance of the nail, cover any shape deviations, and highlight natural beauty without major structural changes. Although strengthening does not actually allow for nail lengthening, some products can be used to make small length corrections. The content 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.

For whom is strengthening suitable and for whom 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 carried out regularly every 3–4 weeks
• Nails are long and flexible
• Nails are dry or the C-curve is curling
• The nail needs to be leveled 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
