AcryGel - Pure - HEMA Free

Acrygel (sometimes called Polygel) gets its name because it combines characteristics traditionally associated with acrylic and gel systems.

• "Acry" refers to the strength and durability commonly associated with acrylic nail enhancements.
  
• "Gel" refers to the gel-based chemistry that cures under a UV/LED lamp, giving the user unlimited working time until it's cured.
  

Unlike traditional acrylic, Acrygel does not require mixing a liquid monomer with a powder. It comes pre-mixed in a ready-to-use, putty-like formula that is shaped using a Slip Solution before being cured in a lamp.

Ultimate control

The thick, putty-like consistency stays exactly where you place it, giving you complete control while sculpting. It won't run into the sidewalls or cuticles like self-levelling builder gels can.

Unlimited working time

Because it only cures under a UV/LED lamp, you can take as much time as you need to perfect the structure before curing.

Strong yet lightweight

Provides the durability and strength needed for long-lasting enhancements while remaining lightweight and comfortable to wear.

Easy to sculpt

Ideal for creating crisp, well-balanced extensions using paper forms or dual forms. The formula is easy to pat, press and shape into the desired structure.

Minimal product waste

Since the product doesn't begin curing until it's placed under a lamp, there's no rush to work, reducing wasted product and allowing for greater precision.

Refines effortlessly

Once cured, Acrygel files smoothly and evenly, making it easy to perfect the final shape and apex.

Excellent for repairs

Perfect for rebuilding broken corners, repairing cracked nails and reinforcing weak natural nails.

Durable wear

Offers excellent resistance to lifting, cracking and breakage when applied correctly.

Less heat during curing

Due to its thicker consistency and application method, many nail technicians find Acrygel produces less heat sensation during curing compared with applying large beads of builder gel, although individual experiences can vary.

Ideal for longer extensions

Its stability makes it particularly suited to creating longer enhancements where extra strength and structural support are needed.

• Nail technicians who want maximum control during application
  
• Sculpting longer nail extensions
  
• Clients who need additional strength
  
• Nail repairs and reconstruction
  
• Square, almond and coffin shapes
  
• Techs transitioning from acrylic who want the control of a non-running product with UV/LED curing

Yes, ACRYGEL is free from HEMA, Di-HEMA, HPMA and IBOA as well as TPO.

No. TWENTY™ ACRYGEL is not a traditional acrylic system and does not contain acrylic powder or require a liquid monomer. Instead, it is a ready-to-use, UV/LED-curing gel with a thick, putty-like consistency.

The name ACRYGEL reflects its unique combination of the strength associated with acrylic enhancements and the control and flexibility of a gel system, giving you the best of both worlds in one product.

Yes. A Rubber Base Coat should always be applied to the natural nail before ACRYGEL. The flexible base helps absorb natural nail movement, creating a protective layer between the natural nail and the more rigid ACRYGEL. This improves adhesion, enhances durability and helps reduce the risk of breakage or lifting.

No. TWENTY™ ACRYGEL is a file-off system and is not designed to be soaked off with acetone.

To remove fully, carefully file the product away using an e-file or hand file down to the rubber base coat and soak off from there. Alternatively, the product can be rebalanced at infill appointments by reducing the existing ACRYGEL and applying fresh product as required.

Yes. TWENTY™ ACRYGEL is designed to be infilled, making it a durable and cost-effective enhancement system for long-term wear.

At your client's maintenance appointment, reduce the existing product by filing away any lifting and bulk, rebalance the structure, then apply fresh ACRYGEL to the regrowth area before refining and finishing as usual.

Regular infills help maintain the strength, balance and longevity of the enhancement while minimising the need for complete removal.

Both ACRYGEL and Hard Gel are excellent choices for creating strong, durable nail extensions. The best option depends on your preferred application style and the needs of your client.

Choose ACRYGEL if you want maximum control. Its thick, putty-like consistency stays exactly where you place it, allowing you to sculpt the nail at your own pace before curing. It's ideal for nail fixes, longer extensions and technicians who prefer a more hands-on sculpting approach.

Choose Hard Gel if you prefer a self-levelling product that creates a smooth surface with minimal refinement. It's perfect for fast overlays, structured extensions and technicians who enjoy working with a gel that naturally levels itself into shape.

Both systems provide exceptional strength and durability, so the choice ultimately comes down to your preferred application technique and the finish you're looking to achieve.

Both ACRYGEL and Hard Gel can be used for nail repairs, but ACRYGEL is often the preferred choice for more detailed fixes.

Its thick, putty-like consistency stays exactly where you place it, making it easy to rebuild broken corners, repair cracks and reconstruct damaged areas with precision. Combined with Slip Solution, you can pat, press and shape the product until the repair is perfect before curing, giving you complete control throughout the application.

Hard Gel is also an excellent option for repairs, particularly when reinforcing weaker nails or carrying out minor fixes as part of an overlay or rebalance. Its self-levelling consistency makes it quick and efficient to apply, while still providing exceptional strength and durability.

If you're looking for maximum control and precision, choose ACRYGEL. If you prefer a faster, self-levelling application, Hard Gel is an excellent alternative.

Yes. TWENTY™ ACRYGEL is ideal for use with TWENTY™ Sandwich Forms. Its thick, putty-like consistency makes it easy to press, shape and distribute the product evenly inside the form before applying it to the nail.

Because ACRYGEL won't self-level or cure until placed under a UV/LED lamp, you have complete control to perfect the structure and apex before curing. Once cured, simply remove the form, refine if required and finish the enhancement as usual.

ACRYGEL can also be used with traditional paper forms for sculpted extensions, giving you complete flexibility depending on your preferred application technique.

Slip Solution is essential when working with TWENTY™ ACRYGEL. It lightly moistens your brush, preventing the product from sticking to the bristles and allowing you to glide, pat and shape the ACRYGEL with complete control.

Unlike a liquid monomer used with acrylic, Slip Solution does not activate or alter the product. Instead, it simply makes the ACRYGEL easier to manipulate, helping you create a smooth, even surface and perfect the structure before curing.

Only a small amount is needed—avoid over-saturating your brush, as excess Slip Solution can affect application. Once you're happy with the shape, cure the ACRYGEL under a UV/LED lamp as directed.

No. TWENTY™ Slip Solution is not a monomer, it is Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA).

Unlike the liquid monomer used with traditional acrylic systems, Slip Solution does not activate or react with ACRYGEL. Its purpose is simply to prevent the product from sticking to your brush, allowing you to glide, pat and shape the ACRYGEL with ease.

Use a small amount to lightly dampen your brush as you work. Once you're happy with the shape, cure the ACRYGEL under a UV/LED lamp as directed.

TWENTY™ ACRYGEL refines easily once cured. Use a 180 or 240 grit file to shape and refine the enhancement, adjusting the structure, sidewalls and free edge as required. For finishing and smoothing the surface before top coat, use a 180/240-grit buffer to remove any remaining file marks and create a flawless finish.

Always refine with light, controlled pressure to maintain the strength and structure of the enhancement while avoiding unnecessary filing.

We prefer to use a hand file to refine ACRYGEL as it allows more control over the shape. However, TWENTY™ ACRYGEL can be refined using e-file sanding bands, provided they are used with the correct grit and technique.

A medium-grit sanding band (approximately 180 / 240 grit) is ideal for refining the shape, reducing bulk and smoothing the surface after curing. Work with light, controlled pressure and keep the e-file moving to maintain the structure of the enhancement and avoid creating heat.

For final finishing, you can switch to a 180/240-grit buffer to remove any remaining file marks before applying your chosen top coat.

Yes. Once your TWENTY™ ACRYGEL extension has been cured and refined, you can apply either TWENTY™ BUILD & BOOST™ Builder Gel or SCULPT & BOOST™ Hard Gel over the top if required.

This can be useful for creating a smoother finish, adding structure or encapsulating nail art before refining and finishing as usual. Ensure the ACRYGEL has been properly shaped, dust removed and the surface prepared before applying additional product.

Both systems are fully compatible, allowing you to tailor your service to your preferred application technique and your client's needs.

Not always. Whether you need a paper form depends on the type of repair you're carrying out.

For repairing a broken corner, rebuilding a missing free edge or extending the nail, a paper form provides support while you sculpt the ACRYGEL into shape. For smaller fixes, such as reinforcing a crack or repairing a chipped area where the nail structure is still intact, a paper form may not be necessary.

The versatility of TWENTY™ ACRYGEL allows you to carry out both minor repairs and full reconstructions with complete control, giving you the flexibility to choose the most suitable technique for each client.
