Use Mia Secret Nail Prep, Xtrabond, and a compatible gel base (like Luxury or any UV\/LED gel base) for best adhesion. Work in thin layers, curing each under a UV or LED lamp before building shape or adding more product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrep: push cuticles, buff lightly, wipe with remover, apply Nail Prep and Xtrabond.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBase: apply a thin gel base layer, cure per base instructions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuild: brush-on sculpting gel, shape with forms or tips, cure each layer fully.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFinish: file to refine shape, apply top coat and final cure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat types of nail services is this gel best suited for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clear Biobuilder gel is versatile: it works for sculpting with forms, overlaying tips, and reinforcing natural nails.
