F.O.X. Builder Gel Thixotropic #004, 15 ml. Builder gel with thixotropic properties

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 mobile when worked with a brush. This ensures 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 correcting 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 multiple nails simultaneously.
• Clearly holds the set architecture and apex.
• High mechanical strength after polymerization.
• Suitable for short, medium, and long nails.
• Holds the sidewall 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;
• working with upper forms;
• re-sculpting corners;
• correction of artificial nails.

Thixotropy is the property of a material to temporarily decrease viscosity under mechanical stress. In simple terms: in the jar, the gel looks thick and stable, but when worked with a brush, it becomes more mobile and easily spreads over the nail plate. When motion stops, the material becomes dense again and holds the created shape. That is why thixotropic gels do not run and allow the master to fully control material placement.

Application technology:

1. Preparar la placa ungueal
2. Aplicar una capa fina de F.O.X Scotch Base o Air Base — polimerizar en lámpara UV/LED 60 seg
3. Con un pincel aplicar Builder Gel Thixotropic, polimerizar 60–120 seg según el grosor de la capa
4. Retirar la capa pegajosa con Gel Cleanser, limar
5. Cubrir con cualquier top coat de F.O.X — polimerizar 60 seg

En moldes inferiores:

4. Colocar los moldes de modelado y formar una base fina con el gel. Polimerizar en lámpara UV 36W — 1 min., lámpara LED/UV 36/48W — 30 segundos.
5. Retirar los moldes y construir la arquitectura de las uñas a la longitud deseada con el gel. Polimerizar en lámpara UV 36W — 2-3 min., lámpara LED/UV 36/48W — 2-4 min., según la densidad de la capa aplicada.
6. Retirar la capa pegajosa y limar. La uña está lista para cubrir con gel polish o top coat de F.O.X.

RESULTADO
Uñas perfectamente modeladas con arquitectura correcta, estructura firme y superficie lisa. Mínima lima, máximo control y trabajo cómodo sin escurrimientos.
