Clear Builder Gel 15g: a versatile clear builder gel for professional nail designs

A clear gel opens up a wide range of possibilities in nail art: building, strengthening, extending or decorating nails without imposing a base colour.

The LuluNails 02 Clear Builder Gel 15g is a crystal-clear UV/LED builder gel, designed for coating, extension and encapsulated nail art techniques.

Its self-levelling texture makes it easy to apply the gel and shape the nail before curing.

Unlike the Milky, Rose Nude or Cover builder gels, this Clear Builder Gel retains a transparent appearance, allowing the natural nail plate or any decorations incorporated during application to be seen.

Presented in a compact 15 g pot, it is a practical choice for trying out a professional clear gel, varying your techniques or adding to your nail kit.

Why choose LuluNails 15g Clear Gel?

This gel combines several features useful for professional nail builds:

• Clear transparency: allows you to build up the gel without adding an opaque colour.

• Self-levelling texture: makes shaping easier and helps to achieve a smooth surface.

• Transparent coating: strengthens and supports the natural nail without masking its colour.

• UV/LED extensions: allows you to create lengths suited to the product’s protocol.

• Nail Art Encapsulation: ideal for incorporating compatible decorations into a build.

• No-file technique: allows for reduced filing during the finishing stage when the application is carried out correctly.

• 15 g size: handy for trying out the product and for less frequent applications.

• HEMA- and TPO-free formula: in line with the characteristics of the LuluNails collection.

A Clear Builder Gel to create a neutral base

One of the main advantages of the Clear Builder Gel is its versatility.

It allows you to complete the entire build without deliberately altering the colour of the nail.

This visual neutrality is particularly useful when you wish to personalise the manicure after the build.

In particular, you can:

• Maintain a clear base coat with a suitable finish.

• Then apply a nude, red or coloured gel polish.

• Create a French manicure on a light-coloured build.

• Create nail art with various effects.

• Prepare a base for encapsulated decorations.

Clear gel is therefore a useful base product in a collection of professional builder gels.

Self-levelling clear gel: for precise building with less filing

The LuluNails 02 Clear Builder Gel has a self-levelling texture that helps to distribute the gel evenly whilst shaping the nails.

This property allows you to create a smooth, even surface before curing the gel under a compatible UV/LED lamp.

The aim is to create a balanced structure by controlling the amount of product applied.

A build-up technique without a finishing file

A filing-free application relies on precision during application.

When the gel is correctly distributed, with a well-shaped apex, even sides and a well-defined free edge, final filing can be reduced or avoided.

To master this technique:

1. Use an amount of gel appropriate to the length of the nail.

2. Spread the gel using a builder’s brush.

3. Position the apex correctly.

4. Check the sides and the free edge.

5. Allow the self-levelling properties to help smooth the surface.

6. Check the structure before polymerisation.

Important: a self-levelling geldoes not guarantee a completely file-free application. Any irregularities or errors in the shape must be corrected.

Preparation of the natural nail and any shaping steps remain essential.

A small 15g jar of Clear gel, ideal for discovering Nail Art encapsulation

Encapsulation is a technique that involves incorporating certain compatible decorative elements into a gel build.

Thanks to its transparency, Clear Builder Gel allows you to create a visual depth effect and ensure the decorations remain visible beneath the gel.

What decorations can be encapsulated?

Depending on the technique and materials used, the clear gel can be used to incorporate:

Fine glitter

To create a sparkling manicure with decorations incorporated into the build.

Decorative flakes

To achieve a textured visual effect beneath a clear coat.

Compatible foils and nail art elements

To personalise clear extensions and create original designs.

Fine decorative inlays

To add details to a manicure, whilst maintaining a suitable structure.

The 15 g size is handy for experimenting with these techniques without having to buy a large jar straight away.

For proper encapsulation, choose suitable elements, avoid excessive thickness and follow the gel’s curing instructions.

Three uses for Builder Gel Clear 15g

1. Clear natural nail wrapping

Wrapping provides a reinforcing structure for the natural nail without necessarily creating an extension.

LuluNails Clear Gel allows you to shape a natural-looking apex whilst visually preserving the natural colour of the nail.

Finish with a compatible top coat to achieve the desired finish.

2. Clear extensions using a template

Clear Builder Gel can be used to create extensions following the appropriate building protocol.

It allows you to work on the length, shape and structure of the nail without directly applying an opaque colour.

This technique also provides an excellent base for personalised nail art designs.

3. Building before applying semi-permanent polish

Do you want to strengthen your nails before applying colour?

Create a properly cured and prepared clear build-up, then apply a compatible gel polish.

The clear gel does not impose any particular base colour, making it easy to vary the colours in subsequent applications.

Why choose the 15g Clear size rather than 30g?

LuluNails offers its Clear Builder Gel in two sizes.

Clear Builder Gel 15g – Product code 4042

A compact size, ideal for trying out the product, carrying out occasional builds or adding to a collection of gels.

Clear Builder Gel 30g – Item No. 4046

A larger size for professionals who regularly use clear gel for their nail wraps, extensions and nail art designs.

The main difference between the two product codes is the quantity of product contained in the jar.

If you’re looking for a versatile gel in a small pack size, the 15 g Clear is a practical solution.

How to apply the 15g Clear Builder Gel?

Step 1 – Preparing the nails

Prepare the cuticles and the natural nail plate according to your professional protocol.

Define the desired shape and carefully remove any dust.

Step 2 – Preparing the surface for adhesion

Apply the preparation products suitable for the builder gel system being used.

Use a compatible primer or base coat in accordance with the product recommendations.

Step 3 – First application of the Builder Gel

Using a builder brush, pick up a small amount of clear gel.

Spread the product in a thin layer, taking care not to touch the skin or cuticles.

Step 4 – Building the nail

Add an appropriate amount of Clear Builder Gel.

For a wrap, form a balanced structure on the natural nail.

For an extension, use a nail form or a compatible technique and build up to the desired length.

Step 5 – Self-levelling of the gel

Gently guide the gel using the brush.

Check the position of the apex, the, the profile and the amount of material.

The aim is to achieve an even build before polymerisation.

Step 6 – UV/LED curing

Use a lamp compatible with the product.

The recommended curing times are:

• LED lamp: 60 seconds.

• UV lamp: 120 seconds.

Follow the approved protocol for your lamp and the thickness of the gel applied.

Step 7 – Checking the structure

After curing, check the structure of the nail.

If the build is even, the amount of filing required for the finish can be kept to a minimum.

If necessary, correct any irregularities before applying the finish.

Step 8 – Finishing or decoration

Depending on the desired result, you can:

• Leave the build as is.

• Apply a compatible top coat.

• Add a coloured semi-permanent polish.

• Create a suitable nail art design.

For true encapsulation, the decorations must be incorporated using a compatible application method, before the appropriate top coat is applied and cured

LuluNails tip: to maintain a beautiful transparent finish, use a clean brush and apply the gel with precision to minimise air bubbles and dust particles.

Transparent Builder Gel, HEMA- and TPO-free

Transparent Builder Gel 02 is part of the LuluNails range, which is advertised as being free from HEMA and TPO.

This feature allows clients and professionals to know which specific ingredients are absent from the formulation.
