Question 1

Is IBD Hard Gel LED/UV Builder Gel safe for sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

IBD Hard Gel is formulated to be gentle on nails and skin when used as directed. However, if you have sensitive skin, we recommend performing a patch test on a small area first. Always follow proper application techniques to minimize contact with surrounding skin. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

Question 2

What are the key ingredients in IBD Hard Gel Pink Builder Gel?

Accepted Answer

IBD Hard Gel contains oligomers, monomers, and photoinitiators that cure under LED and UV light to create a durable nail extension. The formula is designed to be odor-reduced and includes conditioning agents. For a complete ingredient list, refer to the product packaging or contact IBD directly for detailed transparency information.

Question 3

Can I use IBD Hard Gel Builder Gel with both LED and UV lamps?

Accepted Answer

Yes, IBD Hard Gel LED/UV Builder Gel is specifically formulated to cure under both LED and UV lamps, giving you flexibility in your salon or home setup. Curing time may vary slightly depending on your lamp's wattage and intensity—typically 30-60 seconds under LED or 2-3 minutes under UV light.

Question 4

How do I apply IBD Hard Gel Pink for best results?

Accepted Answer

Start with a clean, dry nail bed. Apply a thin base coat, cure, then apply thin layers of the builder gel in 30-second intervals, curing between each layer until you reach your desired thickness. Avoid contact with skin and cuticles. Finish with a top coat and cure completely. Always prep nails properly and use a primer for optimal adhesion.

Question 5

How long does IBD Hard Gel Pink typically last on nails?

Accepted Answer

When properly applied and cared for, IBD Hard Gel typically lasts 3-4 weeks before requiring a fill or removal. Longevity depends on your daily activities, nail growth rate, and how well you maintain the manicure. Avoid excessive exposure to water and harsh chemicals to extend wear time.

Question 6

Is IBD Hard Gel suitable for natural nail extensions and overlays?

Accepted Answer

Yes, IBD Hard Gel Builder Gel is versatile and works well for both building extensions on natural nails and creating overlays. Its thick consistency provides excellent structure and durability. For best results, ensure proper nail preparation and use with appropriate forms or tips based on your desired look.

Question 7

What's the difference between IBD Hard Gel and soft gel products?

Accepted Answer

IBD Hard Gel is a builder gel with a thicker, more rigid consistency that provides stronger structure for extensions and overlays. It's known for durability and is ideal for clients wanting long-lasting manicures. Soft gels are more flexible and easier to remove, but may not provide the same level of durability for extensions. Hard gels require filing or professional removal.

Question 8

Does IBD Hard Gel Pink contain any harsh chemicals or allergens I should know about?

Accepted Answer

IBD Hard Gel is formulated to be professional-grade with reduced odor. However, like all gel products, it contains acrylates and photoinitiators. If you have known allergies to cosmetic acrylates or other gel components, perform a patch test first. Always use in a well-ventilated area and follow safety guidelines. Consult product documentation or IBD for detailed allergen information if needed.
