F.O.X. Builder Gel Thixotropic #001,15 ml. Builder gel with thixotropic properties

Builder Gel Thixotropic — professional white three-phase sculpting gel with an 'adaptive consistency' effect. Thanks to thixotropic technology, the material stays stable at rest, but becomes more fluid when working 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 'adaptive consistency' effect. 
• Suitable for any technique.
• Full control over material during placement.
• Self-levels easily.
• Allows working on several nails simultaneously.
• Holds the intended architecture and height firmly.
• High mechanical strength after polymerization.
• Suitable for short, medium, and long nails.
• Holds apex height when performing sculpted French.
• Saves master's time and material expenses.
• Comfortable for both beginners and experienced masters.

Applications:

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

Thixotropy is the property of a material to temporarily decrease viscosity under mechanical action. In simple words: in the jar, the gel looks thick and stable, but when working 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. That 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 — cure in a UV/LED lamp for 60 sec
3. Apply Builder Gel Thixotropic with a brush, cure for 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 — cure for 60 sec

For lower forms:

4. Fit the modeling forms and shape a thin foundation with gel. Cure in a 36W UV lamp — 1 min, in a 36/48W LED/UV lamp — 30 seconds.
5. Remove the forms and build the nail architecture to the required length with gel. Cure in a 36W UV lamp — 2-3 min, in a 36/48W LED/UV lamp — 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 framework, and a smooth surface. Minimum filing, maximum control, and comfortable work without flooding.
