Construct vs. Colour Construct

"Construct" is a crystal clear gel used for structured gel manicures, and natural nail overlays. It is also an incredible base for your hard gel services to prevent lift, separation, and service breakdown.

So what then is "Colour Construct"? Colour Construct has the same properties and benefits of regular clear "Construct", but with added colour!

Colour Construct can be used in place of clear Construct in structured gel manicures. However there are some adjustments to technique needed depending on which Colour Construct shade you are using.

1. First prep the nail: using a hand file or e-file, remove all shine and debris from the natural nail. File the free edge to your desired shape. Cleanse the nail to remove all dust & oils Apply Bond to the entire surface of the nail. Gently scrub into the surface. Apply 1-2 coats; no cure required. Bond is naturally HEMA Free!

Applying these shades of Colour Construct can be done in 2 ways:

1. Use a very thin layer of Construct as a base layer under hard gel. You should be able to see texture on the nail. Do not over apply. This will virtually eliminate lifting, separation, and service breakdown on your trouble clients.

2. Use Construct to create a simple, durable overlay for your gel manicure. When doing this, apply Construct to the whole nail, then before curing, float a moderate amount of additional Construct to create the structure of the nail. Cure 60s UV/LED.

3. Finish with Fortify Gloss. This tack-free, super shiny topcoat is perfect for both hard gel applications and overlays with Construct. Cure 60s LED, 120s UV.
