FAQs

No, the Secret Beyond Shine has no UV protection per se, but we are not aware of any discoloration of the nails.

In fact, we have already heard from several customers that our Secret Beyond Shine does not last as well on acrylic. Instead, we can assure you that the Master Top Sealer holds super well. 

Alternatively, we recommend applying a base gel under the sealer that doesn't hold well to increase adhesion. Which one you use is not relevant. We use our favorite base gel Superbond for this.

On the one hand, this could be due to the natural nail preparation, which is the be-all and end-all before any modeling.

Apart from that, it could also be due to the products that are used after the rubber base. Not all products always go together due to their properties. 

To find out more about which products can be used together and what ultimately lasts best, take a look at our training courses.

Around 70% of our gels are produced in Germany and around 20% within Europe.

You can find out whether the ingredient 'Hema' is contained in a product by looking directly at the respective gel in the 'Ingredients' section below the photo.

Hema is labeled as '2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate' or simply Hema.

The difference between the Honey Cream Builder and the Honey Extreme Builder is that the Extreme is very stable due to the surface tension, but eventually smoothes out a little. As a result, it does not run into the edges and you have more time to build up. However, it takes practice to be able to model a smooth surface optimally.

That's why we recommend trying the Honey Cream Builder at the beginning, as the gel is self-smoothing, which makes modeling much easier.

We have made a YouTube video about this, which you are welcome to watch, here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCT83RR3wc4

With full cover tips, it is always important to consider your own natural nail shape beforehand. Is my natural nail rather flat or does it perhaps have a strong C-curve? The right gel should be selected accordingly. If the XPRESS Tip Glue Gel does not hold, you could try either the Gummy Gel, acrylic powder or polygel, which improves and strengthens the adhesion even more.

Yes, you can also use acrylic gels for very long nails. It holds just as well as on shorter nails. However, acrylic gel would be too hard for nails that are too thin and soft and could lead to lifting.

The exact chemical name for the ingredient "Glycol HEMA methacrylate" is "Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate". Therefore, the ingredient "Glycol HEMA methacrylate" is not the HEMA that is known and associated with allergies.

It does not fall under the "HEMA" that everyone knows.

In Profi Monomer, for example, HEMA and glycol HEMA methacrylate are ingredients. Here you can see that the ingredients are both listed and are therefore different.

We tested the liquid and waited around 10 minutes to see if it dried. It was still slightly rubbery. After that, we went over it with a cell wipe and cleaner, then it was dry and hardened. The PURITY FLOW is a more odorless, slow-drying liquid, very suitable for slower designers.
