Nail building: Builder gel or acrylic gel from FREYA Nails

Nail extension – which technique is best for your salon?

Nail building is the most sought-after service in professional nail salons. Builder gel and acrylic gel are the two most preferred methods when clients dream of long and strong nails. In this article, I will tell you about the differences between builder gel and acrylic gel and help you choose the right gel system for your salon.

Builder gel – what exactly are we talking about?

Builder gel is a specialized gel-like material designed for shaping and extending nails. It is cured using UV or LED lamps. Clients who opt for builder gel nail extensions usually want a natural look without too much thickness. The products in the Builder Gel collection are a proven solution for salons that value quality and durability. However, it is important to know that builder gel is cured only under a UV or LED lamp.

When to choose a building gel?

• When building nails with a natural effect and transparency
• When the client prefers lighter nails that do not weigh down the fingers
• For salons that value durability and quality results at a good price
• When modeling slightly shorter to medium length nails or long nails.

You can complement your service with Bases and offer your clients a variety of decorations for a finished look.

Acrygel – acrygel as a hybrid option for building

Acrygel (acrygel or polygel) combines the advantages of builder gel and acrylic. The structure of acrygel makes it easy to work with and model, while providing excellent strength and durability. Acrygel also requires curing under a UV or LED lamp, and then provides exceptional strength and stability, including short, longer and extreme nail shapes. Acrygel's hybrid formula reduces the risk of nail breakage and ensures comfort during the client's daily activities. In the Acrygel collection you will find products that can meet the needs of even the most demanding clients.

Advantages of acrylic gel in professional manicure

• Easy nail shaping – suitable for beginners and advanced manicurists
• Perfect for building long and extreme nail shapes
• Minimal chance of peeling, cracking or damage

For a perfect result, combine work with professional high-end nail cutters and files.

What are the main differences between building nails with Builder gel and Acrygel?

Although both products are effective, there are significant differences that you should consider when choosing a nail building technique for your salon. Builder gel and acrylic gel are products that are suitable for clients. Here, the master chooses which material is more suitable to use, based on the needs of the client's nails. There is also a difference in removing the products. Builder gel is often removed with a suitable tip or electric file.

What UV lamp should you choose for your salon?

Building nails with Builder gel and Acrygel requires the use of a quality UV lamp . It is preferable to choose a combined lamp with UV/LED technology, which allows for fast curing and ensures maximum durability of the gel. You can browse professional manicure lamps and accessories on the FREYA Nails website to choose the perfect solution for your salon.

Comparison of the durability of builder gel and acrylic gel - what do you need to know?

When it comes to durability, acrylic nail extensions are more often preferred by manicurists. They combine the strength of acrylic with the elasticity of gel, making them perfect for long and extreme nails. However, builder gel is no slouch either, especially if you use a quality product and the right technique. The good thing about builder gel is that it provides a more natural and flexible result, while acrylic is more resistant to breakage under heavy pressure and stress. If your clients lead an active lifestyle, play sports, or are more often exposed to mechanical stress, Acrygel may be the best choice for them.

A brief overview of the benefits:

• Builder gel – flexibility, natural look.
• Acrygel – hardness, the material of the future (with one product we do everything in maintenance methods)

What should you know about maintaining nails built with builder gel or acrylic gel?

Maintenance of built nails is extremely important for durability and good appearance. Regardless of whether you work with builder gel or acrylic gel, it is mandatory for the client to return for regular filling and correction. When building nails with builder gel, it is most often recommended to visit the salon every 3-4 weeks. Regular filling protects nails from breakage and deformation, ensuring durability and a perfect look of the manicure. For an even more professional set, add Gel Paints and Spider Gel - perfect for creating accents and decorations on your clients' nails.

How and when are builder gel and acrylic gel removed?

Proper removal of nail building products is a key element of professional maintenance. Builder gel and Acrygel require special technique and attention. Builder gel is most often removed with the help of special professional manicure cutters . It is necessary to carefully file the gel layer without damaging the natural nail plate. Acrygel, on the other hand, is removed faster, either with a solution or with a professional electric file, as its structure allows for easy filing. It is important to do this professionally, so I recommend always using quality tools and equipment from FREYA Nails.

What else is good to know about salon nail extension services?

As a professional manicurist, it is important to always choose quality products for nail building. The strength and appearance of the manicure, as well as your reputation with customers, depend on the materials. Always explain to your customers the differences between the methods, what the pros and cons are, so that together you can make the best decision. The choice between Builder gel and Acrygel depends on the individual preferences and needs of each client. It is good to maintain availability of both types of products in order to satisfy the different preferences and desires as much as possible. To be a truly successful professional, always trust high-quality materials and accessories that guarantee not only a good result, but also loyal customers.
