F.O.X. Builder Gel Thixotropic #005, 15 ml. Building gel with thixotropic properties

Builder Gel Thixotropic 005 — professional, modeling three-phase gel in a soft pink shade with an 'adaptive consistency' effect.

Thanks to thixotropic technology, the material remains stable at rest but becomes more fluid when worked with a brush. This ensures maximum control over material placement and allows for creating perfect architecture without flooding.

The gel combines high strength, excellent self-leveling, and shape stability, making it a universal solution for strengthening natural nails, modeling, and correction of any length.

Product advantages:

• Thixotropic formula with an 'adaptive consistency' effect. 
• Suitable for working in any technique.
• Full control over the material during placement.
• Easily self-levels.
• Allows working on several nails at once.
• Clearly holds the given architecture and height.
• High mechanical strength after polymerization.
• Suitable for short, medium, and long nails.
• Maintains the height of the sidewalls when performing a sculpted French.
• Saves master's time and material costs.
• Comfortable to work with for both beginners and experienced masters.

Purpose:

• strengthening natural nails;
• sculpting on lower forms;
• working with upper forms;
• extension of sidewalls;
• correction of artificial nails.

Thixotropy is the property of a material to temporarily reduce viscosity under mechanical influence. In simple terms: in the pot, the gel looks thick and stable, but when worked with a brush, it becomes more fluid and easily distributes over the nail plate. When movement stops, the material regains density and holds the created shape. This is why thixotropic gels do not run and allow the master to fully control material placement.

Application technique:

1. Prepare the nail plate
2. Apply a thin layer of F.O.X Scotch Base or Air Base — polymerize in UV/LED lamp 60 sec
3. Apply Builder Gel Thixotropic with a brush, polymerize 60–120 sec depending on layer thickness
4. Remove the sticky layer with Gel Cleanser, file
5. Cover with any F.O.X top coat — polymerize 60 sec

On lower forms:

4. Place the modeling forms and shape a thin base with gel. Polymerize in a UV lamp 36W — 1 min, LED/UV lamp 36/48W — 30 seconds.
5. Remove the forms and build the nail architecture to the required length with gel. Polymerize in a UV lamp 36W — 2-3 min, LED/UV lamp 36/48W — 2-4 min, depending on the density of the applied layer.
6. Remove the sticky layer and file. The nail is ready for coating with gel polish or top coat from F.O.X.

RESULT
Perfectly modeled nails with correct architecture, a strong framework, and a smooth surface. Minimum filing, maximum control, and comfortable work without flooding.
