Acrylgel Pana Cotta 30g - Indigo

Pana Cotta is a white acrylogel dedicated to nail extensions, replenishing regrowth, hardening the natural nail plate and replenishing nail design defects. The thick consistency of Indigo acrylic gels makes them an ideal product for learning nail extensions. It lays down on the plate exactly as the stylist guides it-it does not run down on the cuticles, it does not change its position even when the hand is turned away. It is ideal for working on both classic stencils and top molds. Pana Cotta acrylic gel guarantees full control of the product regardless of the ambient temperature. It can be used both as a base product for further styling, e.g. under pastel or neon colours, beating out their depth, but it can also work perfectly on its own, covered only with your favourite top. 

*(Pro tip: for white nails, Top Pro White works best)

Colour:

White

Shade:

Classic white

BENEFITS: 

the dense acrylic gel allows smooth and precise application, does not run off or flood the cuticles, and the soft consistency moulds easily under the brush

PRO TIPS:

1. If you are working on transparent templates you can skip the step of creating the framework with the builder gel and immediately start building the first layer of nail with the chosen acrylic gel.
2. When applying the product avoid soaking the brush too much in the wipe off cleaner as this can make the product more fluid and can change its properties e.g. hardness, opacity, colour
3. You can use the acrylic gel to create 2D and 3D decorations - simply spread a small portion of the product onto the finished style and shape any decoration, e.g. a flower petal with a small brush (Aquarell Sting/ Cat Tongue 3d/ Pro Brush 2 or 4) and cure under a lamp.

APPLICATION TIPS:
Stencil extensions:

1. Wash and disinfect hands, then put on gloves.
2. Assess the condition of the client's hands and nails.
3. Clean the nail plate, remove cuticles with a nail pick or wooden stick.

10. Adjust and attach the stencil
11. Spread a small amount of Take Your Time or Primo Ultimo gel on the plate and stencil and create a skeleton in the desired shape of the free edge.  Create in the Multiled 30-60 seconds.
12. Remove the stencil carefully.
13. Apply a portion of the chosen acrylic gel to the plate and spread it with the brush also on the free edge.
