A reflective purple builder gel with a cosmic effect
The hue 026 Cosmo Purple evokes the depth of a night sky, the magic of a distant galaxy and the radiance of thousands of stars appearing under the light. Its intense purple immediately brings character to the set, while its reflective particles create a spectacular effect when the light rays touch the surface. Under classic lighting, the gel reveals a subtle and elegant shine. Under more direct light, it lights up with a cosmic radiance, as if fine diamond sparks were moving over the nail.
This reflective purple builder gel is ideal for nail technicians, nail artists, beauticians and manicure enthusiasts looking for a product that is both technical and creative. It makes it possible to carry out a very glamorous full set, a luminous accent nail, a sparkling extension or a more sophisticated design. Its deep colour is perfectly suited to evening looks, holiday manicures, autumn-winter sets, galaxy designs, mysterious styles and clients who love elegant manicures with a real wow effect.
A 2-in-1 builder gel to build and decorate
Builder Gel PNB Cosmo is a range of reflective gels designed to offer a wide spectrum of professional uses. With Cosmo Purple 026, it becomes possible to create the nail architecture and the luminous design in a single step. This 2-in-1 material is used for sculpting, reinforcement of the natural plate, extension on forms or tips, the visual correction of defects and the creation of sparkling sets without having to add an additional decorative layer.
Its smart texture impresses with its working comfort. The gel has a medium viscosity, ideal for offering good material control while allowing a fluid application. It self-levels quickly, does not run towards the cuticles when applied correctly and perfectly keeps the shape given during the build. This stability makes it possible to work with precision, create a balanced apex, reinforce the stress zone and obtain an elegant architecture without difficulty.
An intense reflective effect for a spectacular manicure
The particularity of UV/LED Builder Gel PNB 026 Cosmo Purple lies in its richness of reflective particles. These luminous elements are integrated directly into the builder gel, which makes it possible to create a shiny, visually textured and deep set. The effect is subtle under soft light, then becomes much more intense under a flash, direct light or evening lighting. The result is glamorous, dynamic and very modern.
This gel is perfect for clients who want a different, expressive and on-trend manicure, without sacrificing the solidity of the build. It can be used as a full set for a very assertive cosmic purple result, or as an accent nail to illuminate a nude, black, white, silver or lilac manicure. It is also superb in galaxy designs, jewel effects, festive sets, graphic decorations and manicures inspired by the night-time universe.

Step-by-step instructions
To achieve a resistant, shiny and perfectly structured set with UV/LED Builder Gel PNB 026 Cosmo Purple, it is important to follow a professional protocol. Precise preparation of the natural nail improves adhesion, limits lifting and allows the gel to reveal all its reflective effect.
- Prepare the cuticles: gently push back the cuticles and carefully clean around the nail.
- Matify the plate: remove the natural shine with a 180/240 grit file, without weakening the natural nail.
- Remove dust: eliminate all filing particles with a clean brush.
- Prepare the nail: apply Nail Prep on the natural plate.
- Dehydrate: apply Nail Dehydrator to remove moisture and excess sebum.
- Optimise adhesion: apply the acid-free primer Bond Control.
- Apply the base: lay a thin coat of UV/LED Universal Base PNB, UV/LED Scotch Base PNB or HEMA FREE Base PNB.
- Cure the base: cure under the lamp for 60 seconds.
- Place the forms: fit the forms on each finger, respecting the natural axis of the nail and the desired length.
- Create the length: apply a thin coat of UV/LED Builder Gel PNB 026 Cosmo Purple to define the shape and extension.
- Build the architecture: sculpt the nail with the gel, keeping a material height not exceeding 1.5 mm.
- Cure: cure UV/LED Builder Gel PNB Cosmo for 60 seconds.
- Remove the sticky layer: eliminate the dispersion residue with Gel Cleanser.
- Shape: if necessary, file the nails with a 180 grit file to perfect the architecture.

- Cure the finish: cure for 60 seconds.
Professional tips for an impeccable reflective effect
To enhance the depth of the Cosmo Purple 026 shade, apply the gel in controlled coats and make sure to distribute the reflective particles well over the entire nail surface. A harmonious distribution guarantees a more regular and more luxurious luminous effect. As the colour is deep and sparkling, it is essential to work with a clean outline near the cuticles and side walls.
- Work with precision: dark and reflective shades require a neat application.
- Distribute the particles: gently stretch the gel to balance the reflections over the entire surface.
- Keep a fine architecture: a maximum thickness of 1.5 mm helps obtain good curing.
- Use a suitable lamp: a high-performing UV/LED lamp makes it possible to reveal an optimal wear.
- Seal carefully: a PNB top coat protects the particles and intensifies the shine.
- Border the free edge: this gesture improves the strength of the set and limits chipping.
- Test the light: the reflective effect becomes even more spectacular under a flash or direct lighting.
