A dual form system designed for professional standards

The main strength of the Duo Shape Forms Almond lies in their smart design. Unlike more traditional systems, this solution is based on two complementary forms that work together to help create an extension that is stable, clean and visually balanced. This construction allows for more controlled encapsulation and more consistent nail building, with a particularly neat result from the very first steps.

For professionals, this approach offers genuine working comfort. It allows better control of the product, helps achieve a more even structure and reduces irregularities in shape or thickness. For the client, this translates into nails that look more elegant, more natural and more comfortable to wear. The almond shape enhances this effect even further, with a delicate silhouette that visually elongates the fingers and flatters the hand.

Why choose the Almond shape?

The Almond shape is now one of the most requested styles in the nail industry. It stands out for its balance between sophistication and natural elegance. Softer than a square shape and less extreme than a pointed nail, it offers a chic, fashionable and wearable result for everyday life. It is an ideal shape for clients who want elegant, feminine and modern nails without going over the top.

With the Andreia Duo Shape Forms Almond, this silhouette becomes easier to reproduce with consistent results. The form guides the build and helps create a harmonious line that is perfectly suited to modern salon services. For nail artists, it is also an excellent base for a variety of nail looks, from baby boomer to full-colour applications, chrome effects, updated French styles or sophisticated nude finishes.

A natural, durable and elegant result for up to 4 weeks

The stated wear time of the Duo Shape Forms Almond can reach 4 weeks, provided that the protocol is followed correctly and the natural nail condition is suitable. This is an excellent level of durability for clients looking for beauty, practicality and everyday comfort. The stability of the structure naturally depends on several factors: the quality of the preparation, the right choice of products, the professional’s technical control and the characteristics of the natural nail plate.

On dry, oily, thin or, on the contrary, very strong nails, adhesion and wear can vary. That is why this system is especially well suited to professionals who are used to adapting their protocol to each client profile. When used correctly, it makes it possible to create elegant, consistent and long-lasting nails with a modern appearance that stays beautiful for several weeks.

Detailed step-by-step instructions: how to use the Andreia Duo Shape Forms Almond

To achieve a flawless set, it is essential to follow a precise protocol. Here are the recommended steps to make the most of this system.

Preparation

1. Select the ideal size of tip or form for each nail from the 15 available sizes.
2. Prepare the inside of the tip by buffing or filing the matt area to optimise product adhesion.
3. Prepare the natural nail by fully removing the natural shine from the nail plate.
4. Clean the nail with a prep product such as Prep + Clean.
5. Apply the primer and allow it to air dry for around 60 seconds.

Application

1. Apply a layer of product inside the tip, on the previously mattified area. The protocol here mentions One Bottle Builder Gel Clear.
2. Position the tip correctly on the nail, making sure to respect the axis and the desired length.
3. Cure under the lamp, especially under a lamp such as the Pro Extend lamp to hold the structure effectively in place.
4. Repeat the process on each nail.
5. Then cure both hands under a suitable professional lamp such as the A.Lamp Pro.
6. Use a 100/180 buffer to remove the shine from the tips and prepare the surface for decoration.

Decoration and finish

1. Apply a first coat of gel polish and cure.
2. Apply a second coat of colour and cure again.
3. Apply a top coat and cure to seal the service.
4. Remove the inhibition layer with a finishing cleanser such as Extra Glow.

The recommended curing time is generally 60 seconds under LED or 120 seconds under UV, although this may vary depending on the power and model of the lamp used.

Which products can be used with Duo Shape Forms?

The Andreia Duo Shape Forms are presented as compatible with acrylic gel and acrygel, which makes them particularly versatile. To secure the base form, it is recommended to use a builder gel that offers good structural stability. Alternatives such as a reinforced rubber base or a fiber base may also be considered depending on the professional’s working habits.

To fill the top form, it is best to choose a building system that ensures both strength and stability, such as a builder gel, preferably high viscosity, an acrylic system or an acrygel. The choice will depend on the desired finish, the preferred working speed and the client’s nail type.

Professional tips for an even cleaner result

A few good habits can further enhance the performance of the Duo Shape Forms Almond. First of all, choosing the correct size is essential. An incorrectly sized tip can compromise both the balance of the structure and the comfort of the set. Next, natural nail preparation should never be overlooked. It is one of the key factors behind adhesion and long-lasting wear.

• Work the cuticles carefully to avoid premature lifting.
• Buff without overfiling the natural nail plate to maintain a good adhesion surface.
• Check the application angle before curing to achieve a straight, balanced structure.
• Use the guide lines to create consistent lengths across the whole hand.
• Respect curing times to ensure optimal polymerisation.
• Sanitise the reusable forms thoroughly between each use.

Maintenance, infills and rebalancing

One of the major advantages of this system is that it also allows for maintenance without fully removing the extension. This is a real benefit for returning clients who want to keep their structure while refreshing the regrowth area and finish. The maintenance protocol includes removing the top coat and colour, preparing the cuticle area, refining the regrowth area, applying primer, then infilling with a suitable building product.

Once the product has cured and the structure has been corrected, the professional can reshape, cleanse, and then reapply colour and top coat. This refill option is especially appreciated in salons because it helps optimise service time while extending the life of the set.
