DNKa - Paper Builder Nail Forms Long, 100pcs / 500pcs

DNKa Paper Builder Nail Forms (Long)

Where the Short forms give basic guide lines, Long steps up the precision with a full grid system — a central symmetry line and parallel arcs with numbered markings, built specifically for longer, more demanding extensions.

What Makes the Grid System Work

• Central symmetry line: a dark vertical line marking the center of the form, helping position it precisely against the middle of the nail plate and avoid drift during modeling
• Parallel arcs and grid: curved lines with numerical markings give precise control over both length and width, with the arcs offering a natural curve reference for different style lengths

Why Paper Forms Work Well for Extensions

• Strong adhesive paper, reliable hold during modeling
• Removes cleanly, no sticky residue left behind
• Compatible with gel, acrylgel, and gel-jelly systems

What's in the Set

Available in two pack sizes — 100 pieces for smaller studios or occasional use, and 500 pieces for higher-volume salon work.

How to Use

1. Standard nail prep — remove previous coating, buff the surface, complete the manicure
2. Apply acid or non-acid primer depending on the nail plate
3. Apply Rubber or Fiber Base in rubbing motions, cure 1 minute UV or 30 seconds LED/hybrid
4. Position the form using the central symmetry line to align it with the nail plate
5. Make sure the form sits evenly against the nail, without gaps
6. Build the extension with your chosen modeling material, using the grid and arcs to judge length, width, and curve
7. Cure, then remove the form — it should come away cleanly without sticky residue
8. Shape and finish as needed

Works alongside DNKa's Builder Gel range and reusable Top Nail Forms system.

FAQ

How is Long different from the Short paper forms?
Long includes a more detailed grid system — a central symmetry line plus parallel arcs with numbered markings — built for longer, more precise extensions, while Short uses simpler guide lines.

Which pack size should I choose, 100 or 500?
100 pieces suits lower-volume or occasional use; 500 pieces is better value and convenience for a busy salon going through forms regularly.
