Silky Duchess Gel Sample | HEMA Free Self-Leveling Builder Gel

The Silky Duchess Builder Gel is a HEMA-Free self-leveling builder gel in a coral nude shade with fine iridescent reflections that appear differently depending on the light. Warm and sophisticated, it brings more color to a classic nude and can be worn as is or integrated into natural manicures with an effect.

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

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 working technique or the technician's preference requires a different formula.

💡 Keep in mind: POWER COUPLE means the same shade in two different formulas.

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 74 Silky Duchess.

💡 How to apply POWER COUPLE Builder Gel?

1. Nail preparation

Properly prepare the natural nail and the cuticle area. Completely remove dust and degrease the nail plate with GN Pure Acetone or GN Nail Prep.

2. Adhesion

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

3. Base

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

4. Construction

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

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

5. Finishing

Remove the dispersion layer with Cleanser, file the final shape with Pro File, and finish with GN Pro Buffer File. Completely remove filing dust.

Apply, if desired, Colour Gel or GetLac Colours, then seal with your preferred GN Top Gel and polymerize 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 layer of base for optimal adhesion.

Bonder Base Gel, Rubber Base 1 Clear, or NA Fiber Base Gel can be used according to the working 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 even out before polymerization.

5. For the cuticle area, use a thin brush.

You can more easily achieve 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 polymerization time.

Material thickness and pigmentation can influence deep polymerization.

9. File only after complete polymerization 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 in application.

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

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a self-leveling builder gel?

A self-leveling builder gel evens out during modeling, making it easier to obtain a uniform surface and create the apex. POWER COUPLE gels have medium viscosity and maintain enough stability for controlled work.

2. Are the POWER COUPLE Builder Gels HEMA Free?

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

3. Are the POWER COUPLE Builder Gels suitable for clients with sensitive nails?

Yes. The HEMA-Free formula is developed to be as gentle as possible on natural nails and is a suitable option including for people who are sensitive or have allergies.

4. What techniques can I use POWER COUPLE Builder Gels for?

They are suitable for form sculpting, Fast Tips extensions, classic apex or babyboomer, natural nail protection, and 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 towards the cuticle?

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

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

Yes. The formula is suitable for extensions made with Fast Tips, while respecting the recommended technique and polymerization times.

8. Can I create the apex with POWER COUPLE Gel?

Yes. The self-leveling formula allows for controlled modeling of the classic or babyboomer apex.

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 construction and structural modeling, while the Rubber Base has the flexibility and specific characteristics of a Rubber Base. The choice depends on the type of nail, working technique, and desired result.

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

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

11. Why does the builder gel not polymerize completely?

There may be several causes:

✔️ Incomplete UV/LED spectrum lamp – inadequate or underperforming lamps may not emit the necessary full spectrum.

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

✔️ Layer applied too thickly – too much material can prevent complete deep polymerization.

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

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