Builder Gel PNB Violet Breeze 018

UV/LED Builder Gel PNB 018 Violet Breeze, the lilac builder gel for sculpting, reinforcement and refined nail art

UV/LED Builder Gel PNB 018 Violet Breeze is a professional builder gel in a delicate, luminous and subtly sophisticated lilac shade. Its soft colour conceals a pretty play of light and shadow, for a result that is at once romantic, warm and very elegant. Designed for nail technicians, nail artists, beauticians and professional manicure enthusiasts, this PNB UV/LED builder gel allows you to carry out a reinforcement of the natural nail, a full sculpt, a form extension or a refined nail design equally well. Its lilac hue brings a feminine, luxurious touch to every set, while staying soft and easy to wear.

A soft, elegant and charming lilac shade

The colour 018 Violet Breeze evokes a light breeze, a pastel violet veil and a romantic, delicate mood. This delicate lilac gives the nails a neat, feminine and luminous appearance, without being too flashy. It is perfectly suited to clients who love soft manicures but want a shade more original than a classic nude or a milky pink.

This PNB lilac builder gel is ideal for creating elegant, modern and harmonious sets. On short nails, it brings a clean, delicate and natural effect. On long nails, it reveals more of its sophisticated, luxurious side, especially on almond, oval, rounded square or ballerina shapes. Its dense pigmentation also visually camouflages the transition between the free edge and the nail bed, which makes it very practical for extensions and aesthetic builds.

A 2-in-1 gel to sculpt, reinforce and decorate

UV/LED Builder Gel PNB 018 Violet Breeze is a professional 2-in-1 material, just as effective for sculpting as for reinforcement and design creation. It lets you build a solid architecture, reinforce a weakened natural plate or bring an elegant coloured base to a set. Its medium-viscosity texture offers an excellent balance between control and fluidity: it positions easily, self-levels very well and holds its shape perfectly during the work.

This gel does not run excessively towards the cuticles when used correctly, which makes precision work easier. It stays stable during sculpting and lets you create a clean, regular and professional structure. Its consistency is particularly appreciated for working the architecture of the nail, forming a balanced apex, reinforcing the stress zone or creating a harmonious extension on a form.

For which services should Violet Breeze 018 be used?

Builder Gel PNB 018 Violet Breeze is suitable for many professional services. It can be used to reinforce thin or weakened natural nails, to create a short or medium extension, to rebuild a clean architecture or to carry out a coloured set directly with the builder gel. Its lilac hue makes it possible to offer an elegant alternative to clear, pink or nude gels.

It is particularly interesting for clients who want a soft yet original manicure. It can be left visible under a glossy top for a luminous, delicate result, or paired with a matte top for a more on-trend velvet effect. It can also serve as a base for floral nail art, fine white lines, silver details, marbled effects or minimalist designs. Its lilac result pairs very well with milky white, powder pink, nude, pastel violet, silver or fine glitter.

Step-by-step instructions

To achieve a durable, regular and professional set with UV/LED Builder Gel PNB 018 Violet Breeze, it is important to follow a precise protocol. Good preparation of the natural nail improves adhesion, limits the risk of lifting and makes it possible to create a more stable build.

1. Prepare the cuticles: gently push back the cuticles and carefully clean around the nail in order to work on a clean base.
2. Matify the plate: remove the natural shine of the nail with a 180/240 grit file, without damaging or excessively thinning the plate.
3. Remove dust: eliminate all filing particles with a clean brush.
4. Prepare the surface: treat the nail plate with Nail Prep to improve preparation before the set.
5. Dehydrate: apply Nail Dehydrator over the whole plate to remove moisture and excess sebum.
6. Reinforce adhesion: apply the acid-free primer Bond Control to optimise the gel's hold.
7. Apply a thin base: lay a thin coat of UV/LED Universal Base PNB, UV/LED Scotch Base PNB or HEMA FREE Base PNB.
8. Cure the base: cure under the lamp for 60 seconds.
9. Place the forms: fit the forms on each finger, one after the other, taking care to respect the axis of the natural nail.
10. Create the length: apply a thin coat of UV/LED Builder Gel PNB 018 Violet Breeze according to the desired length and shape.
11. Sculpt the architecture: build the structure with the gel, keeping a material height not exceeding 1.5 mm.
12. Form the arch: if necessary, gently pinch the gel for 7 to 10 seconds to create an elegant, balanced curve.
13. Cure completely: place the nails under the lamp for a complete cure of 120 seconds, or use the low-heat mode for 100 seconds.
14. Remove the sticky residue: clean the dispersion layer with Gel Cleanser.
15. Shape: file the nails with a 180 grit file to perfect the structure and the outlines.
16. Finish: apply a PNB top coat, then cure for 60 seconds.

Professional tips for a flawless build

For a successful set, it is advisable to work with a controlled amount of gel. Even though Builder Gel PNB Violet Breeze holds its shape well, a build that is too thick can harm the balance of the nail and the client's comfort. Keep a thin, solid and harmonious architecture, placing the material correctly at the stress zone.

• Work finger by finger: this lets you keep perfect control over the shape and self-levelling.
• Respect the recommended thickness: a maximum height of 1.5 mm helps guarantee good curing.
• Use the low-heat mode: ideal for improving the comfort of clients sensitive to heat.
• Take care with form placement: a good extension starts with a perfectly aligned form.
• Check the apex: a balanced architecture improves the resistance and aesthetics of the set.
• File with precision: a clean shaping enhances the lilac colour and gives a professional result.
• Finish with a suitable top: a glossy top accentuates the light, while a matte top brings a very chic velvet effect.
