Sakura Flakes Gel | HEMA-Free Self-Leveling Builder Gel

Sakura Flakes Gel is a HEMA-Free self-leveling builder gel, featuring a milky nude base with flakes in warm tones of pink, coral, and gold. The mix of flakes adds color and effect to the delicate base, perfect for feminine manicures, creative designs, or constructions worn as they are.

The professional formula with medium viscosity and light texture offers a balance between stability, flexibility, and self-leveling. It does not run into the cuticles, allows for controlled apex modeling, and is suitable for nail form construction, Fast Tips extensions, and quick fills.

It is part of the POWER COUPLE collection – the same shade, available in two professional formulas: Builder Gel and Rubber Base, for situations where the work technique or the technician's preference requires a different formula.

The color intensity may vary slightly between the Builder Gel and the Rubber Base, depending on the formula, the amount of product, and the application technique.

The same shade is also available as Rubber Base 78 Sakura Flakes.

💡 How to apply the POWER COUPLE Builder Gel?

1. Nail preparation

Correctly prepare the natural nail and cuticle area. Remove dust completely and degrease the nail plate with GN Pure Acetone or GN Nail Prep.

2. Adhesion

Apply, as preferred, 007 Bond Primer, Primer Ultra Bond, Acid Based Primer, or Primer Pen only on the natural nail to increase adhesion. For nails with adhesion problems or during very hot periods, we recommend Acid Based Primer or Acid Primer Pen.

3. Base

For optimal adhesion, apply a thin layer of Bonder Base Gel, Rubber Base 1 Clear, or NA Fiber Base Gel and cure completely.

4. Construction

Apply a slip layer of the Builder Gel and cure completely.

Apply the second layer, model the apex, and cure completely.

5. Finishing

Remove the dispersion layer with Cleanser, file to the final shape using Pro Files, and refine with a GN Pro Buffer File. Remove all filing dust completely.

Apply, if desired, Colour Gel or GetLac Colours, then seal with your preferred GN Top Gel and cure completely.

If the Top Gel has a dispersion layer, remove it according to the product instructions. Finish with cuticle oil.

💡 Tips & Tricks – POWER COUPLE Gel

1. Properly prepare the natural nail and choose the right adhesion system.

Proper preparation is essential for the adhesion and durability of the work.

2. Use a thin base layer for optimal adhesion.

Bonder Base Gel, Rubber Base 1 Clear, or NA Fiber Base Gel can be used according to the work technique.

3. Work nail by nail.

The recommended 1-1 system allows you to maintain control over the product, shape, and apex.

4. Take advantage of self-leveling without overloading the nail.

Distribute the material in a controlled manner and let the formula level out before curing.

5. Use a thin brush for the cuticle area.

You will more easily obtain a precise contour and control the amount of product.

6. Turn the hand for a few seconds when the technique allows it.

It can help center the material and define the apex.

7. For Fast Tips, adapt the amount of product to the length and architecture of the extension.

8. Respect the full curing time.

The thickness of the material and pigmentation can influence deep curing.

9. File only after complete curing and removal of the dispersion layer.

10. Keep the container away from direct lamp light, UV rays, and excessive heat.

-Due to the amount of product in the container, the shade may appear more intense in the jar than during application.

-A broken/opened seal excludes the product from return.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Yes. The Builder Gels in the POWER COUPLE collection have a HEMA-Free formula.

They are suitable for construction on nail forms, Fast Tips extensions, classic or babyboomer apex, natural nail protection, and maintenance/refills.

5. What is the viscosity of the POWER COUPLE Builder Gels?

They have medium viscosity and a light texture, offering a balance between self-leveling and stability during modeling.

6. Does the builder gel run into the cuticles?

The formula is stable and designed to remain controllable during application. For optimal results, we recommend the 1-1 work system, nail by nail.

7. Can I use the POWER COUPLE Gel for Fast Tips?

Yes. The formula is suitable for extensions made with Fast Tips, provided that the recommended technique and curing times are followed.

9. What is the difference between POWER COUPLE Gel and Rubber Base?

The two products are available in the same shade but have different formulas and technical roles. The Builder Gel is intended for building and modeling the structure, while the Rubber Base has the flexibility and specific characteristics of a Rubber base. The choice depends on the nail type, work technique, and desired result.

10. Can I combine the POWER COUPLE Gel and Rubber Base in the same manicure?

Yes, when the work technique requires it. The two formulas can be integrated into combined systems and techniques, respecting the role and usage method of each product.

11. Why does the builder gel not cure completely?

There may be several causes:

✔️ Lamp with incomplete UV/LED spectrum – inappropriate lamps or those with insufficient performance may not emit the complete required spectrum.

✔️ Insufficient curing time – respect the time indicated for each layer.

✔️ Layer applied too thick – an excessive amount of material can prevent complete deep curing.

✔️ Worn-out lamp or lamp with non-functional LEDs – its performance can decrease over time.

💡 Solution: use a professional lamp, periodically check its efficiency, respect recommended times, and avoid applying excessive amounts of material.
