LunaMOON Premium — Builder Gel for Nail Extensions

LunaMOON Premium Builder Gel is a professional polymer material for nail extension and sculpting. The light-curing formula with photoinitiators ensures controlled polymerisation and allows working with length and shape without compromising structural integrity.

What is a builder gel

A builder gel is a viscous material that holds its applied shape until exposed to ultraviolet light. LunaMOON Premium contains photoinitiators — compounds that trigger polymerisation at a wavelength of 380–420 nm. The material transitions from a gel state to a solid, retaining the sculpted shape and volume.

How the material works

The gel is applied in layers, with each layer cured in a UV/LED lamp at 36–48 W. Full polymerisation is achieved in 120 seconds. Due to its thixotropic properties, the gel becomes more fluid under brush movement, making it easier to distribute and sculpt the arch. In cooler temperatures the gel thickens — it can be gently warmed before use to achieve the desired consistency.

Key characteristics

• Acid-free formula — causes no burning sensation under the lamp, suitable for sensitive clients.
• Impact absorption — the gel does not crack under mechanical stress.
• Medium consistency — comfortable to work with for both beginners and experienced technicians.
• Medium pigmentation — covers the free edge without additional layers.
• Zero shrinkage — the gel holds the arch precisely after curing.
• Maximum coverage thickness — 0.5 mm at the sidewall, 1 mm at the apex.

Who it is suitable for

Premium Builder Gel is designed for professional nail technicians working with natural and artificial nails. The acid-free formula makes it suitable for clients with sensitive nails. The medium consistency is appropriate for both entry-level and experienced specialists.

Application techniques

• Extension using dual forms.
• No-file extension technique.
• Working with significant nail length extensions.

How to use

1. Prepare the natural nail: degrease, file the surface, apply primer if needed.
2. Apply Rubber Base as a mandatory base coat — use without it is not permitted.
3. Apply LunaMOON Premium Builder Gel in layers, sculpting the arch and desired length.
4. Cure each layer under a lamp at 36–48 W for 120 seconds.
5. Complete the finish: file, buff, and apply the final coating.

When to use

Premium Builder Gel is suitable for nail extension and sculpting services in professional salons and home studios. It is used when significant length extension is required, a stable shape needs to be formed, or when working with clients prone to sensitivity from acid-based products.

Advantages

• No burning sensation — acid-free formula.
• Resistant to impact — shock-absorbing effect without cracking.
• Controlled consistency — thixotropic, responds to brush movement and temperature.
• Stable shape — zero shrinkage, the arch is maintained after curing.
• Compatible with no-file techniques and dual form extensions.
• Full polymerisation in 120 seconds at 36–48 W.

Summary

LunaMOON Premium is a builder gel for professional work with nail length and shape. The acid-free formula, thixotropic properties, and zero shrinkage make it a reliable tool for creating strong and aesthetically refined nail structures. Rubber Base is required as a base coat. Curing time — 120 seconds at a wavelength of 380–420 nm.
