This sophisticated colour evokes the richness of a dark red, the sensuality of a berry hue and the timeless elegance of a precious burgundy. Versatile, luxurious and full of character, it suits all seasons and is aimed at clients who love assertive, feminine and distinguished manicures. This PNB UV/LED builder gel is ideal for nail technicians, nail artists, beauticians and professional manicure enthusiasts who want to carry out a reinforcement of the natural nail, a structured sculpt, a form extension or a spectacular coloured set with a chic and powerful burgundy shade.

An elegant wine burgundy shade full of confidence

The colour 040 Berry Night charms with its depth and refinement. Its intense burgundy, lifted by a wine hue, immediately brings the nails a luxurious, glamorous and self-assured allure. It is a shade that does not go unnoticed, but always stays elegant. It dresses the hands with character, like a chic accessory that perfectly completes a feminine, sophisticated or dressy look.

This PNB burgundy builder gel is suitable for short sets as well as long extensions. On short nails, it creates a neat, intense and very elegant manicure. On long nails, it reveals all its glamorous side, especially on almond, oval, rounded square or ballerina shapes. Its deep hue is perfect for evening looks, autumn-winter manicures, holiday sets, elegant pedicures or clients who love to wear a strong colour with a lot of class.

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

UV/LED Builder Gel PNB 040 Berry Night is a professional 2-in-1 material, designed to be used for sculpting, reinforcement and design creation. Its medium-viscosity texture offers an ideal balance between application comfort and material control. The gel positions easily on the nail plate, self-levels harmoniously and perfectly keeps the shape given during the work.

Its stable consistency makes it possible to build a precise architecture without the product running excessively towards the cuticles or side walls. This stability is essential for creating a well-placed apex, reinforcing the stress zone and obtaining a solid, fine and professional set. Its dense pigmentation also makes it possible to visually mask the transition between the free edge and the nail bed, which is particularly useful during extensions and coloured builds.

For which services should Berry Night 040 be used?

UV/LED Builder Gel PNB 040 Berry Night is suitable for many professional services. It can be used to reinforce thin or weakened natural nails, to create a short or medium extension on a form, to rebuild a more balanced architecture or to carry out a burgundy set directly with the builder gel. Its intense colour makes it possible to obtain an already dressed manicure, without necessarily needing to add a semi-permanent colour on top.

This shade is particularly suited to glamorous manicures, evening sets, elegant extensions, coloured overlays, sophisticated pedicures and jewel designs. It can be worn alone with a glossy top for a deep and luminous effect, or with a matte top for a more mysterious and very on-trend velvet result. It pairs perfectly with gold, champagne, nude, black, milky white, powder pink, chocolate brown or fine metallic details.

Step-by-step instructions

To achieve a durable, balanced and professional set with UV/LED Builder Gel PNB 040 Berry Night, it is important to follow a precise protocol. Careful preparation of the natural nail improves adhesion, reduces the risk of lifting and makes it possible to create a solid, aesthetic and comfortable build.

1. Prepare the cuticles: gently push back the cuticles and carefully clean around the nail to work on a clean surface.
2. Matify the plate: remove the natural shine with a 180/240 grit file, without weakening or excessively thinning the natural nail.
3. Remove dust: eliminate all filing particles with a clean brush.
4. Prepare the surface: treat the plate with Nail Prep to optimise preparation before the set.
5. Dehydrate: apply Nail Dehydrator to remove moisture and excess sebum on the nail.
6. Reinforce adhesion: apply the acid-free primer Bond Control to improve 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, respecting the natural axis of the nail and the desired length.
10. Create the length: apply a thin coat of UV/LED Builder Gel PNB 040 Berry Night to define the shape and extension.
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 a fine, solid and 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 architecture, the sidewalls and the free edge.
16. Finish: apply a PNB top coat, then cure for 60 seconds.

Professional tips for an impeccable burgundy set

To enhance the depth of the Berry Night 040 shade, it is recommended to work with a well-controlled amount of gel. Dark colours require a particularly neat application near the cuticles and side walls. A build that is too thick can weigh down the set and complicate curing. The goal is to create a fine, resistant and well-balanced architecture, with a uniform and elegant colour.

• Work in controlled coats: this helps keep a fine build and a homogeneous burgundy result.
• Respect the recommended thickness: a maximum height of 1.5 mm promotes complete curing.
• Use the low-heat mode: ideal for improving the comfort of sensitive clients under the lamp.
• Take care with the outline: a deep shade requires a neat application to stay chic.
• Place the apex correctly: a balanced architecture improves the strength and wear of the set.
• Border the free edge: this gesture reinforces the hold and protects the colour.
• File with precision: clean shaping enhances the depth of the burgundy.
• Choose the right finish: a glossy top reveals the wine intensity, while a matte top creates a very luxurious velvet effect.

Set ideas with Builder Gel PNB 040 Berry Night

The shade Berry Night is perfect for creating elegant, intense and feminine manicures. In a full build, it gives the nails a luxurious and perfectly assertive allure.
