Gels for Nail Enhancements
Nail gel is a UV/LED-curing modeling material for strengthening, extending, and designing nails. Discover suitable gels for every step: base gel, builder gel, cover gel, and top coat gel as well as 1-phase gel, French gel, and fiberglass gel.
For perfect nails, no compromises
Find the right gel
In our range, you will find both gels by application and complete gel systems by series, which are perfectly coordinated. This allows you to either specifically select individual products or work directly with a well-thought-out system.
The right gel for every phase
Gels by application
Base gels – also known as bonding gels – ensure optimal adhesion to the natural nail and form the foundation for a durable nail enhancement. Builder gels give the nail stability and shape, while cover gels create an even nail bed. For precise tips, French gels are used, before sealing gels complete the perfect shine and protection.
Flexible. Coordinated. Powerful.
Gels by Series
Our gel lines offer perfectly coordinated systems for every type of nail modeling. Whether for beginners, sensitive nails, or demanding studio work – each line is designed for specific requirements and helps you work quickly, safely, and professionally. This way, you will find exactly the gel system that suits your technique and your desired results.
The right choice of gel is crucial for the result of your nail modeling. Depending on the technique, nail type, and desired look, different gels are used – from bonding gels and builder gels to sealants.
There's a suitable gel for every phase of nail modeling – and that's precisely the key to perfect results. While primer gels provide the necessary adhesion and form the base, builder gels shape and stabilize the nail. Afterwards, various special gels are used depending on the desired look: Cover gels visually even out the nail bed, French gels define classic tips, and Babyboomer gels enable soft, natural color gradients.
Sealing gels provide the finishing touch, giving the modeling its shine and reliably protecting it. If you want to work particularly efficiently, choose 1-phase gels, which combine several steps in one product. For maximum stability, acrylic gels offer an ideal solution, while pedicure gels are specially adapted to the requirements of toenails.
👉 This way, you can selectively choose your gel system based on its application and tailor it precisely to your technique and desired results.
Still unsure? Choose by application
If you want to choose your gel by function rather than by series, simply follow the individual steps of nail modeling. Primer gels ensure adhesion, builder gels provide shape and stability, while cover gels visually perfect the nail bed. For precise tips, French gels are used, and sealing gels provide shine and protection at the end.
👉 This way, you can quickly and specifically find the right gel for your application.
FAQ
Nail gel is a light-curing material for nail modeling. It is sculpted or applied and subsequently cured under a suitable UV/LED lamp. Depending on the type of gel, it performs various functions such as adhesion, building, visual masking, or sealing.
The most important types of gel include base gel or adhesion gel, builder gel, cover and camouflage gel, French gel, and top coat gel. In addition, there are, for example, 1-phase gels, fiberglass gels, acrylic gels, and other special gels for specific applications.
Base gel forms the adhesive layer between the natural nail and the enhancement. Building gel is then used for shaping and stabilizing the nail. Builder gels can be used for natural nail reinforcement as well as – depending on the product – for nail extension.
A 1-phase gel combines several steps of a gel manicure into one product. Instead of using different gels for priming, building, and sealing, the same gel can be used for multiple modeling steps.
For beginners, gels with an easily controllable consistency and self-leveling properties are often particularly easy to work with. However, which gel is optimal depends on the nail type and the desired technique. emmi®NAIL offers both individual gels according to application as well as coordinated gel series.
