Clear Builder Gel 30g: the Clear Builder Gel for extensions and nail art

A clear builder gel is essential for nail technicians who wish to create bespoke designs without altering the colour of the products applied.

Discover the LuluNails 02 Clear Builder Gel 30g, a professional UV/LED builder gel with a clear, crystalline finish, designed for building, strengthening, extensions and encapsulating decorations.

Its distinctive feature is its transparency: unlike Rose Nude, Cover or Milky gels, it contains no pigment intended to visually colour the build.

It therefore serves as a versatile base for creating transparent extensions, strengthening natural nails or coating certain compatible nail art designs.

Its self-levelling texture makes it easy to shape the material and ensures a smooth finish. With the right technique, it can also reduce the need for final filing.

The 30 g size is particularly suitable for professionals who regularly use clear gel in their treatments.

Why choose LuluNails Clear Builder Gel?

Clear Builder Gel 02 has several features that are useful for nail techniques:

• Crystal-clear transparency: ensures that decorations and colours beneath the gel remain visible.

• Self-levelling texture: makes it easier to spread the product and create a smooth, even surface.

• Nail extensions: allows you to build the desired length and shape.

• Transparent base coat: strengthens the natural nail without adding any colour.

• Nail art encapsulation: allows you to cover compatible decorations to create a depth effect.

• No-file technique: minimises the need for corrections when the structure is built correctly.

• 30 g professional size: suitable for regular use in salons.

• UV/LED curing: using a compatible lamp and protocol.

• HEMA- and TPO-free: according to the stated formulation of the LuluNails range.

Transparence Clear: an ideal gel for nail art designs

The main advantage of the Clear Builder Gel lies in its ability to create a clear structure without deliberately obscuring colours or decorations.

This property makes it possible to create manicures that require multiple visual layers.

Encapsulated nail art

Encapsulation involves incorporating certain compatible decorations into a gel build, then covering them to create a smoothsurface.

Transparent Builder Gel is particularly well-suited to this technique, as it allows the decorative elements to show through the gel build.

It can be used with compatible decorations such as:

• Fine glitter suitable for encapsulation.

• Decorative flakes.

• Foils suitable for gel applications.

• Small nail art elements designed for encapsulation.

• Marbled effects and decorations created using compatible products.

The size and thickness of the decorations must be adapted to the build, to ensure the structure is correct and the gel cures fully.

Glass Nails effect

Glass Nails aim for a visually transparent or crystalline finish.

LuluNails Clear Builder Gel allows you to create the clear structure required for this type of application, with a suitable finish.

Clear Extensions

To create transparent extensions, use Clear Builder Gel on a nail form or using a compatible technique.

It allows you to shape the nails and adjust their length without introducing any nude, pink or white colour.

Self-levelling Clear Gel: a more even build

The self-levelling texture of LuluNails Clear Builder Gel makes shaping easier.

Once the gel has been applied, it tends to spread across the surface more evenly

This characteristic helps to control irregularities and reduce brush marks before polymerisation.

In particular, it allows you to work on:

• Building the apex.

• Distribution of the material.

• Thickness at the cuticles.

• The smoothness of the surface.

• The profile and sides of the nail.

• The finish prior to polymerisation.

Can a file-free application be carried out using Clear Gel?

Yes, a file-free finishing technique can be considered provided the application is sufficiently precise.

The aim is to distribute the gel correctly before polymerisation, in order to achieve a shape that requires little or no correction after curing under the lamp.

However, the no-file technique depends on the shaping process. If the apex, the parallelor the free edge have imperfections, corrections will still be necessary.

Self-levelling gel makes the work easier, but does not replace professional monitoring of the build-up process.

What techniques can be used with the 30g Clear Builder Gel?

1. Clear coating on natural nails

The coating involves &strengthening the natural nail without necessarily adding length.

The Clear Gel allows you to create a strengthening structure whilst visually preserving the natural colour of the nail.

After curing, apply a compatible top coat to achieve the desired effect.

2. Templated extensions

Builder Gel Clear can be used to create templated extensions.

The gel allows you to shape the length, form and apex whilst maintaining the necessary structure for the build.

The length achieved must be adapted to the technique and the properties of the gel.

3. Encapsulating glitter and decorations

Clear gel allows certain compatible decorations to be incorporated into a gel structure.

This technique is ideal for creating depth effects, personalised nail art and decorative designs.

4. Base layer before gel polish

The Clear Builder Gel can be used to build up the nail before applying a compatible semi-permanent colour.

You can then choose a red, nude, burgundy, milky or any other suitable shade of gel polish.

The clear gel remains visually neutral and does not provide an opaque base colour.

5. Clear gel refill

Provided the existing build and the products used are compatible, Clear Builder Gel can be used for a refill.

It allows you to rebuild the structure and reposition the apex without adding a new build colour.

Clear builder gel or coloured gel: which to choose?

The different shades of Builder Gel serve distinct aesthetic purposes.

The Transparent Builder Gel 02 is particularly versatile if you wish to apply different colours of semi-permanent polish afterwards or create encapsulated designs.

Coloured gels are more suitable when the base colour is part of the desired end result.

Technical specifications – Clear Builder Gel 30g

How to apply the 30g Clear Builder Gel?

Step 1 – Prepare the nails

Prepare the natural nail plate, cuticles and free edge according to your protocol.

Remove any dust and check that the nail is properly prepared.

Step 2 – Prepare the adhesion

Apply a compatible primer or base coat, in accordance with the recommendations for the build system used.

Follow the preparation and curing instructions for the complementary products.

Step 3 – Apply the clear gel

Take a small amount of Clear Builder Gel using a builder brush.

Apply a thin, even layer, avoiding any contact with the skin.

Step 4 – Building the nail

Add the amount of gel required for the wrap or extension.

Work the gelto create a balanced structure and a suitable apex.

For an extension, use a template or a technique compatible with the product.

 Step 5 – Check the self-levelling

Allow the gel to smooth out and gently guide the material with the brush.

Check the sides, shape, thickness and placement of the apex before curing.

Step 6 – Cure under a UV/LED lamp

Use a lamp compatible with the gel.

The curing times indicated on the LuluNails product sheet are:

• LED: 60 seconds.

• UV: 120 seconds.

Follow the product’s approved protocol and the lamp’s specifications. Avoid applying excessively thick layers, as this may compromise curing.

Step 7 – Check the build

Check the result after polymerisation.

If the structure is correct, the amount of finishing filing can be reduced.

If there are any irregularities, make the necessary corrections.

Step 8 – Add colour or finish

Depending on the desired result:

• Maintain the transparent effect with a compatible top coat.

• Apply a compatible coloured semi-permanent nail varnish.

• Create a nail art design suited to your system.

• Incorporate a seal using the appropriate method.

LuluNails tip: for a successful seal, ensure you maintain a balanced structure and avoid creating excessive thickness around the decorative elements.
