When To Choose Hard Gel: Bottled vs Potted
Hard gel is the perfect choice when your client needs extra strength, structure and durability. Unlike builder gel, hard gel is a file-off system, making it ideal for clients who need more support, longer wear or stronger enhancements.
Choose hard gel for clients who:
- Are prone to lifting
- Want longer nails or extensions
- Prefer square shapes
- Are heavy-handed or active
- Need extra free-edge strength
- Want a strong overlay or rebalance service
At TWENTY™, our SCULPT & BOOST™ Hard Gel range is available in both bottled and potted formulas, so you can choose the texture that best suits your service.
Bottled SCULPT & BOOST™ gives you the strength of hard gel with the ease of a bottle application. Its medium-viscosity, self-levelling formula is ideal for strong overlays, natural nail reinforcement and quicker salon services.
Choose bottled when you want speed, strength and a smooth finish.
Potted SCULPT & BOOST™ has a higher-viscosity formula, giving you more control when building structure. It’s ideal for sculpted extensions, nail fixes, longer lengths, square shapes and clients who need extra reinforcement.
Choose potted when you want maximum control and precision.
Which One Do You Need?
If you’re creating strong overlays or short to medium enhancements, reach for bottled hard gel.
If you’re sculpting extensions, building longer lengths or need more control over structure, potted hard gel is your go-to.
Both are HEMA Free, file-off systems and should be applied over Rubber Base for best results.
