Imen Stick Builder Gel 06

Builder Gel Sticks are high-viscosity builder gels designed specifically for the Dual Forms technique.

Once dry, they are extremely durable, with a strength comparable to that of an acrygel. However, when applied in a thin layer, they retain good flexibility, making them suitable for salon-length nails—from the shortest to the longest.

They are called “Sticks” precisely because of their main feature: they function like a true “double-sided tape” inside the Dual Form.

Once the product is positioned in the correct Dual Form (chosen based on shape and length), simply place the Dual Form on the nail: the gel adheres immediately without lifting, making application easy even for those who haven’t yet mastered the technique.

For this reason, they are particularly recommended for beginners who find it difficult to apply at a 45° angle without creating steps.

Technical Application Tips

Since the Dual is positioned parallel to the nail and not at an angle, we recommend keeping a slight distance from the cuticle area. This helps avoid any unevenness and makes the finish simpler and cleaner.

As it is a high-viscosity gel, it must be applied inside the Dual Form using a flat brush.
We recommend the Fancy Line Flat Brush No. 4 or No. 6.

The brush should be kept parallel to the Dual Form, without tilting, gently moving the product forward and back. This method allows you to apply the material evenly, without bubbles and effortlessly.

Suitable exclusively for the Dual Forms technique

Stick Builder Gels are specifically formulated for this technique and are not intended for use with traditional foil methods.

Recommended base:

• Imen
  Rubber Clear or
• Fancy Fiber Base

For proper preparation of the natural nail, it is essential to always use Fancy preparatory liquids, such as:

• Nail Prep
• Dehydrator
• Bond

These steps ensure a perfectly clean, dry surface ready to guarantee maximum product adhesion.

Final seal:

• Top Gel Classic Fancy – ideal when you want a slightly more textured
  finish, or
• Top Gel Ultra Shine Fancy – perfect for a thinner seal and intense shine

The combined use of these products allows you to achieve a stable, long-lasting, and professional finish, optimizing the final result with both classic and Dual Forms techniques.
