When it comes to gels, Korean nail brand Gracia/JIN.B offers an impressive range of gel options to meet various needs and preferences of nail artists. JIN.B is one of the leading Korean brands excelling in the development of basic and clear gels. Their color gel polish offerings are just as excellent. However, many of nail artist crowd favorites are among JIN.B basic gels, including JIN.B’s Crazy Top Thick Gel and G-Gelly Base Gel. JIN.B’s different lines of basic gel products provide nail artists with versatile use and reliable performance to foster confidence in the foundation of artists’ nail work and artistry. JIN.B deeply invests in researching the market and learning about what nail product consumers seek in order to create not just new nail products, but products that provide solutions to pain points. As a result, new basic gel products with improvements in formulation and packaging are periodically created to better suit the needs of consumers. Upon first encounter, it can be overwhelming to identify the differences between basic clear gels. However, a foundational understanding of viscosity and functional uses for gels with different viscosities will help users identify which basic gels best suit their needs. In this blog article, we will highlight the viscosity and functional uses of JIN.B’s clear builder gels, which are non-heating and non-yellowing–key features that address pain points commonly experienced with other select builder gels on the market.
Addition Sculpture Gel
JIN.B Addition Sculpture Gel is a medium viscosity gel that is easy to handle even for beginners. The gel flows and self-levels quickly, providing medium strength when cured. This medium viscosity gel is suitable for overlaying the nail to create a smooth structural base or to encapsulate color and hand painted designs prior to top gel. Addition Sculpture Gel offers durability, even if applied thinly and can be used to add protection and strength to the natural nails.
Balance Clear Gel
Next in the lineup is JIN.B Balance Clear Gel, a medium-high viscosity gel, which has a slower self-leveling flow. Once cured, Balance Clear Gel offers medium-hard strength. This gel is suitable for overlays such as a structural base or encapsulation and glitter mixing. The slower flow allows you time to guide the gel where it is needed to create volume and build an apex for structure while self-leveling for a smooth and even surface. A low viscosity gel would self-level too quickly and be too thin to build volume or an apex on the nail, being more suitable for an even gel overlay without structure.
Long Run Builder Gel
JIN.B Long Run Builder Gel has the hardest strength of the three basic gels with a high viscosity. Its slow flow makes it suitable for crafting extensions, allowing time to move the gel where it is needed to create artificial length and structure. High viscosity gels are needed to build extensions because unlike low viscosity gels, the gel stays in place and slowly self-levels over time as you build length and structure. Low viscosity gels would flow too quickly and not provide enough thickness to build out extensions. Once cured, Long Run Builder Gell’s strength provides durability and strength to protect the natural nails and support length. It has long staying power which makes Long Run Builder Gel a great solution for those who want to grow out their naturally short nails with gel extensions, those who have weak nails that are prone to breaking, protecting bitten nails, and for those who want a long wear out of their nails.
JIN.B’s clear builder gels must be used with a base gel. Gracia Base Gel is a highly rated premium base gel and is suitable to use with JIN.B clear builder gels. It has a thin viscosity and is easy to apply. This base gel is beginner friendly, prevents lifting, and has high retention with nails lasting up to eight weeks. Due to its strong adhesion, it can be applied to thin nails and oil prone nails. Etching, primer, and bonder is not required prior to applying Gracia Base Gel. Gracia Base Gel is ideal for those who want to wear their nails for a long time, such as gel extensions. It is also easy to soak-off making Gracia Base Gel a versatile all-purpose base gel to use with JIN.B clear builder gels.
JIN.B’s line of basic gels precedes JIN.B Coolear Gels. While these gels offer the same great benefits such as non-heating, non-yellowing, and appropriate viscosity for different uses, the Coolear Builder Gel line includes one more gel type for a harder hold and features packaging and labeling that make identifying gel type more efficient. Despite these differences, JIN.B Clear Builder Gels are just as reliable and make for a versatile nail product to add to any nail artist’s collection.
If you are looking for builder gels that are easy to use, reliable, and versatile along with qualities such as non-heating and non-yellowing, JIN.B’s clear builder gels are the solution to common nail needs.
