F.O.X. Builder Gel Thixotropic #004, 15 ml

Builder Gel Thixotropic 004 — professional, modeling three-phase gel in a peach-pink shade with a warm undertone, 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 provides maximum control over material placement and allows creating an ideal architecture without flooding.

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

Product advantages:

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

Purpose:

• strengthening natural nails;
• sculpting on lower forms;
• work with upper forms;
• building up corners;
• correction of artificial nails.

Thixotropy is the property of a material to temporarily decrease viscosity under mechanical influence. In simple words: in the pot, the gel appears thick and stable, but when worked with a brush, it becomes more fluid and spreads easily 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 full control over material placement.

Application technology:

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

For lower forms:

4. Place forms for sculpting and form a thin underlay 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 desired 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 sculpted nails with correct architecture, a strong frame, and a smooth surface. Minimum filing, maximum control, and comfortable work without flooding.
