TOUCH - Builder Gel Shine Mix 5, 15ml

A trihasic structural material with shimmer and shining particles, built for modeling, strengthening, and restoring the nail plate. A gentle lilac tone with colorful shimmer gives a manicure a festive look while staying elegant — suited to both a standalone coating and as a base for a variety of designs.

Why Techs Reach for Shine Mix

Medium consistency with self-leveling properties allows work in the filing-free ("no-file") technique. It holds the arch reliably and doesn't shrink during wear. The formula minimizes burning sensation in the lamp, keeping polymerization comfortable. The material files easily, and works with both upper and lower forms as well as for strengthening natural nails.

How to Apply

1. Complete standard nail plate prep. Buff the surface with a buffer. Don't file the shape yet — leave 2mm of length, to be removed after leveling
2. Address the cuticle as desired: push back with a pusher after softening with remover, trim with clippers or manicure scissors, or perform a combined manicure with a drill
3. Remove germs, excess moisture, and impurities with an antiseptic and degreaser
4. Apply an acid primer or ultrabond before the base for longer-lasting wear
5. It's recommended to first apply an underlayer of elastic base to improve design durability. Apply Rubber Base and cure in a UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds. Remove the sticky layer
6. Use the builder to extend, model, and strengthen the nails. When applying, stay 1mm away from the cuticle. Acceptable coating thickness is 0.7-1mm at the free edge / 1mm at the apex. Cure 60-120 seconds under a 48W UV/LED lamp
7. If the nail plate is thin, it may deform, so it's important to remove about 1mm of the natural nail from the inside — this prevents material lifting
8. Remove the sticky layer with a cleanser. Add decorative work if desired
9. Seal with a top coat

FAQ

Do I need to mix the material in the jar so the glitter distributes evenly?
No, the shimmer has a fine-dispersed structure and doesn't settle to the bottom, so the builder is ready to work with right away.

Does the colored shimmer yellow after curing?
No, the glitter is resistant to UV exposure and keeps its shimmer throughout the entire wear period.

What happens if I don't file the natural nail from the inside?
It leads to lifting at the free edge — the natural nail is more flexible and can start curling or separating from the rigid material over time. Filing from the inside "seals" the construction.
